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.

It's a nightmare scenario no one wants... You run a PIG and it becomes stuck in the line. You now have an unsuccessful pigging campaign, a subsea pipeline blockage, and a missing PIG to deal with.
The cost of a shutdown due to a PIG stuck in a subsea pipeline can run into tens of millions in lost production, which is why it is absolutely critical to remedy the situation as quickly as possible. In this post we will examine the first step to remedying a blocked subsea pipeline due to a stuck PIG; that is locating the stuck PIG.

Flow assurance specialists have long faced the challenge of maintaining continuous flow through subsea pipelines. Over time deposits can build-up and can lead to shortfall of revenue through lost production. When these issues occur, they face the problem of determining the exact location and nature of the blockage in order to take action, without risking damage to the subsea pipeline.
In this post we will explain step by step how to pinpoint the exact location of any flow assurance issues including how to investigate them further, determining whether they are hydrate deposits or wax deposits, or indeed distinguishing between asphaltene deposits or scale deposition. All without shutting down production or modifying subsea pipelines in any way.
