Imrandd has delivered advanced inspection data analytics and integrity service for a major upstream operator in Australia, expanding its global footprint
The work determined the future condition of a caisson on an offshore asset, reliably confirming its integrity until cessation of the production facility. The project holds marked significance in saving operational costs as it eliminated the need for a very expensive caisson replacement project.
For the Australian E&P business, Imrandd’s team of data scientists and engineers used their propriety technologies to collate and condition data sets from two existing ultrasonic corrosion mapping inspections conducted several years apart. Rather than using the conventional industry approach where uniform corrosion rates are assumed, the company utilised advanced corrosion growth models that account for changes in both corrosion extent and depth, with statistical analysis of the thickness variations between inspections providing the basis for more representative future condition estimates.
Imrandd CEO Innes Auchterlonie said, “We are thrilled with the results of our first project in Australia, which demonstrates our ability to deliver high value asset integrity analysis and recommendations that allow our clients to make informed decisions that count. Our blend of advanced technologies and experienced specialists deliver actionable insights, arming our customers with the right information to reduce operational costs, enhance integrity and extend the life of assets.
“By highlighting issues before they become critical, operator’s integrity management strategies can evolve from reactive to proactive. As the energy transition ramps up, this approach is not just applicable to oil and gas assets but any sector with safety critical equipment and infrastructure.”
