Pressure vessels, storage tanks, and piping systems together with rotating machinery for fluid transport represent major capital investment in any Oil / Gas Production operation. Good fabrication of these components, based on rigorous material selection is likely to provide long service life of equipment. Material degradation and aging requires application of adequate diagnostic techniques and continuous monitoring. Regular monitoring and inspection techniques can help in providing basis for estimating the health of the existing components of the equipment as well as the overall risk assessment.
The most effective means of inspecting infrastructure and assets in the field is nondestructive testing (NDT). NDT techniques allow inspectors to accurately assess equipment conditions without taking the equipment out of service. Here are some of the top inspection techniques the oil and gas industry uses to prevent asset damage and downtime.
- Visual Inspection
- Penetrant Testing
- X-Ray Testing
- Magnetic Particle Testing
- Hardness Testing
- Thermography
- Ultrasonic Testing
- Eddy Current Testing
- Computed Tomography
