After years of reliable service in some of the world's most demanding environments, it's time for our first-generation Personal Electronic Dosimeter (PED1) to transition out of our main product line. We are announcing this planned transition over the next eight months as we fully move to the next generation of our personal radiation monitoring devices: Personal Electronic Dosimeters Gen 2 (PED2).

At Tracerco, we have always believed that the most effective tools are the ones that make their purpose clear. That is why we are excited to share some important updates to how we name our measurement instrumentation product portfolio. These changes are designed to help you quickly identify the right measurement solutions for your specific challenges, whether that is monitoring level, density, or internal process behaviour.

The Asian petrochemical industry is experiencing rapid growth, driven by rising demand from sectors such as construction, automotive, packaging, and textiles. With massive investments in infrastructure and manufacturing across China, India, Malaysia, and Indonesia, the region is setting new benchmarks in petrochemical production. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), China alone has added as much ethylene and propylene production capacity in five years as Europe, Japan, and Korea combined.

However, this growth presents challenges. Refinery owners must maximise throughput, improve efficiency, and reduce unplanned shutdowns, all while meeting increasingly strict environmental standards. In such a high-demand environment, precise process control is critical.

Keeping operations flowing smoothly

Flow assurance is at the core of offshore and subsea oil and gas operations. Ensuring uninterrupted transportation of hydrocarbons from reservoirs to processing facilities is a fundamental challenge, especially in deepwater environments where extreme pressures and temperatures can cause blockages. As the industry evolves, so too must our approach to diagnosing and preventing these issues.

At Tracerco, safety is more than just a priority—it’s a core value that drives everything we do. As we mark World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we are especially proud to celebrate an incredible milestone: six years incident free.

Speaking about this achievement Rachel Burke, Director of Compliance and Risk said, “This achievement reflects the unwavering dedication and vigilance of every member of our team in upholding the highest standards of Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS).”

High hydrogen sulphide (H2S) concentrations in flare systemspose significant operational and safety risks. To mitigate these risks, Tracerco conducted an advanced leak detection assessment on nine pressure safety valves (PSVs) within the Flare Header. The goal was to enhance safety, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve overall process efficiency using cutting-edge tracer technology and leak detection methodologies.

In the demanding realm of subsea oil and gas operations, maintaining pipeline integrity and ensuring optimal performance of pipelines is paramount. At Tracerco our innovative technologies, notably Discovery™ and Explorer™, have set new benchmarks in non-intrusive subsea pipeline inspection. We offer operators unparalleled insights into asset integrity and flow assurance, helping them make informed decisions about their operations without compromising production.

In this blog we discuss how Tracerco can help you gain insight into how operators are leveraging these technologies to their advantage.

Understanding the significance of flaring in offshore, refinery, and petrochemical operations

Flaring has long been an integral part of offshore oil and gas, refinery, and petrochemical operations, serving as a critical safety mechanism to manage excess gas. However, with increasing environmental regulations and economic pressures, operators are scrutinising their flaring practices to minimise emissions and maximise efficiency..

In January 2025, Tracerco partnered with World Oil to host a webinar on the latest innovative advancements in tracer technology for reservoir management. As part of the session, industry leaders shared insights on how low-risk, non-intrusive chemical tracer technology is reshaping the approach to phase production and well communication. Here’s a breakdown of the top 3 questions discussed during the Q&A section of the event:
