Maintaining offshore pipeline integrity
In the evolving world of offshore oil and gas, maintaining subsea pipeline integrity is not just important. It is essential for safety, efficiency, and long-term operational success. However, traditional pipeline inspection methods often struggle in the high-pressure, deepwater conditions typical of modern offshore fields.

In the ever-evolving offshore energy sector, the integrity of subsea pipelines remains a fundamental priority and a growing challenge. As operations venture into deeper and harsher environments, maintaining pipeline health over its full lifecycle has become increasingly complex. With risks such as corrosion, flow restrictions, and limited inspection access threatening both performance and safety, operators are turning to smarter, more proactive methods to manage these subsea assets.

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.

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.
