Author: Ing. Mayuly Rodríguez, January 24, 2024.
The integration of robotics into the API RP 581 inspection methodology has improved the way inspections are performed, providing a series of technological advances and improvements in safety, efficiency, coverage and the quality of inspection data, which has led to more accurate and reliable assessments of equipment integrity.
The macro processes of the oil industry and their influence on the energy transition
Inspenet, December 27, 2023.
The macro processes of the oil & gas industry and their influence on the transformation of the energy sector towards a more sustainable future are very relevant in shaping a more responsible energy panorama.
Maintenance and reliability: The secret to operational excellence
Inspenet, December 8, 2023.
Asset management includes the maintenance of equipment and systems in order to prevent failures and maintain operational continuity; or solve failures that require repair such as: problems in components, equipment or systems. Reliability is the result of effective sustainment or control, which measures the ability of a physical asset to perform as intended over a given period.
Reducing emissions in oil refining processes: Strategies and technologies
The oil and gas industry is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, responsible for climate change. Oil refining, in particular, is a process that generates a large amount of emissions, mainly carbon dioxide (CO₂). Decarbonizing an oil refinery requires complex and realistic plans
NACE SP0169 and its role in external corrosion control in pipelines
In the constant battle against structural degradation induced by external corrosion, particularly in infrastructures operating in restricted access areas where inspections are difficult to perform, the NACE SP0169 standard on “Control of external corrosion in subway or submerged metallic piping systems”.
Importance of design in the useful life of structures: An anticorrosive approach
Design of metal structures is established as a primary area, where advances not only determine efficiency and aesthetics, but also guarantee more resistant and durable structures.
