Specialists from RN-Purneftegaz, one of Rosneft’s main oil and gas production centers in Yamal, have implemented a contactless magnetometric method for diagnosing field pipelines. The new domestic technology allows for magnetic field changes to be recorded from a distance of up to 10 meters, which helps to identify various pipeline defects.
With the help of remote diagnostics, up to 20 km of pipelines are examined per day without stopping them or changing the operating mode. The magnetometric complex visualizes the data and makes GPS coordinates. At the same time, the speed of the flaw detector along the pipeline does not affect the quality of the data obtained. After processing and interpreting the data, the hardware complex independently draws a conclusion on the technical condition of the pipeline with an electronic map of the detected anomalies.
Previously used methods of technical diagnostics: opening a section of a pipeline and in-pipe flaw detection required significantly more time.
The contactless magnetometric method has been successfully tested at the Komsomolskoye field. The new technology makes it possible to effectively inspect pipelines where in-line diagnostics is impossible. As part of the production efficiency improvement program, the contactless magnetometric method for diagnostics of field pipelines will be offered this year for replication at Rosneft production facilities.
Accident-free operation of industrial facilities is one of the priorities of the Rosneft-2030 strategy and a key task for the Company in all areas of activity.
