For more than 35 years, the ROSEN Group has delivered inspection and integrity services to onshore and offshore pipeline operators around the world. Technology, innovation, and service excellence have made ROSEN the leading pipeline inspection provider with operations in more than 120 countries. Since the introduction of inline more than 50 years ago, there have always been pipelines that were considered unpiggable. Typically, it is a combination of various circumstances relating to pipeline design, operating conditions, and/or product properties that prevents a successful inline inspection using traditional methods. At ROSEN, however, we refuse to accept this as a fact. This is why we have dedicated an entire diagnostics division to finding ILI solutions for what we refer to as challenging pipelines. With its global presence, our Challenging Pipeline Diagnostics Division provides the industry with tailored solutions, backed by ROSEN’s comprehensive technology portfolio. Decades of developing and deploying optimized sensor technology for the detection and sizing of geometric anomalies, metal loss, and cracks give us the flexibility to act upon your expectations. The technologies and products that ROSEN employs are developed and manufactured in-house, and our own experts perform the assessment, preparation, field execution, data analysis and reporting. This allows ROSEN to secure the highest quality of deliverables for our customers. Your Unique Challenging Pipeline In working closely with our customers, it often becomes clear that it is not simply one hurdle that prevents the use of traditional inspection equipment and technologies. Commonly, the complication lies in the combination of various circumstances which must be overcome. Issues directly arising from these assets often refer to accessibility, negotiability, and operating conditions. Further challenges relate to pipeline cleanliness, tool tracking, and risk mitigation. Though challenges vary from one pipeline to the next, the most common include: • Access or passage restrictions related to pipeline design, e.g. Bends, length, T’s or missing launchers and receivers, etc. • Condition of the pipeline, e.g. Pressure, flow, cleanliness, etc. • Properties of the product being transported, e.g. Temperature, multi-phase, etc. As each challenge is unique, building a specific tool for each solution is not feasible. Therefore, a flexible approach is needed, that can be adapted to each individual case.
