Mike Hessel talks Subsea Asset Integrity

Tech talk. With the 44th Offshore Technology Conference in Houston just on the horizon, OE sought answers to the question, “What emerging technology will have a direct impact on the offshore market?” Our think tank had this to say:

Subsea Asset Integrity, including Non- Destructive Testing (NDT) of assets will have a direct impact on the offshore market. Far surpassing visual inspection in efficacy, ultrasonic measurements of deepwater installations and Alternating Current Field Measurement (ACFM) for NDT validation are newer subsea asset integrity technologies gaining wider global usage. Other promising subsea asset integrity technologies are in test phases. These technologies may solve currently problematic issues of accessibility and coatings. They could also aid in monitoring of hydrocarbon containment and testing the strength of structures to 4,000 meter water depths. The end goal is predictability and reliability of subsea assets.
