The oil and gas industry faces constant pressure from regulatory authorities and environmental groups to guarantee pipeline network integrity. Despite this pressure, they often base their maintenance decisions on non-traceable and error-prone manual measurements, even though an incorrect diagnosis can lead to severe consequences.
NDT service providers need to be able to analyze data and generate reliable reports onsite to make quick and trustworthy repair decisions so that latency is minimized and pipes are reburied more quickly. Pipeline owners should also be able to conserve and compare damage evolution on pipes and structures over time.
Human-independent results during data acquisition are also a prerequisite for eliminating measurement variations and ambiguity in result interpretation. By removing human error from the equation, measurements are the same regardless of the technician’s skills and experience.
