Oil and Gas Pipelines

Pipeline Lifecycle Management encompasses understanding product flow and pressure to assure they do not exceed critical thresholds that jeopardize pipe integrity.

Additionally, lifecycle management involves ultrasonic devices to inspect and identify areas of corrosion and specify repair procedures, such as hot-tapping to assure uninterrupted flow during pipeline repair.

Part replacement and operational procedures are also included when handling flanges, gaskets, nuts, and bolts that join independent pieces of pipeline together.

Any Maintenance, Repair and Operations (MRO) model for pipe lifecycle management needs to assure that:

• Equipment necessary to perform these operations is available and working
• Field operatives understand how to properly use equipment
• Field operatives know when and where to perform their designated MRO tasks
• There is an efficient and safe way defined for performing these tasks

Our Ultra Rugged Industrial Tags can be easily integrated into pipelines and utilized as a mobile data base in MRO models that support the lifecycle of a pipeline.  The ability to write critical information to the tag means being able to access onboard product life cycle information even when you don’t have access to a backend database.

Since disconnected or partially connected situations are very common in the oil and gas industry, the ability to access information stored onboard is, in many cases, very important.
