Application Spotlight: Offshore Drilling
INSPECT AGING PLATFORMS WITH OPTICAL GAS IMAGING
The offshore oil and gas industry faces some unique challenges. Due to advances in geology and drilling techniques, many older, aging platforms are forced to extend beyond their designed lifespan and continue production. In addition to asset management, the industry is under pressure to meet methane emissions reduction targets, which in some cases are self- imposed. Thermal imaging technology can be critical for asset management and safety of a platform. Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) is ideal for finding the smallest of leaks before they become large ones, as well as detecting mechanical issues before a failure.
