A recent technical meeting organized by Petrobras brought drilling contractors together to share experiences on the pipeline integrity management offshore. Seadrill actively participated, presenting its regional procedures and tools to ensure efficient inspection, documentation and maintenance of pipelines.
Strategies to protect offshore pipelines from corrosion
During the event, Seadrill presented how it has developed procedures adapted to local Brazilian requirements, focusing on failure prevention, corrosion prevention and combatting corrosion and continuous improvement of technical performance. The company highlighted the importance of integrating scheduled inspections with rigorous documentation and planned maintenance, which allows for increased operational reliability.
One of the most discussed issues was the way in which Seadrill addresses corrosion processes in high corrosion processes in high salinity and high pressure environments.. The company shared advances in pipeline monitoring, selection of resistant materials and predictive maintenance programs, key factors in extending the life of systems.
Petrobras underscored the relevance of these meetings to strengthen regulatory compliance and disseminate best practices among key players in the energy sector. Collaboration between operators and contractors makes it possible to optimize processes, align technical standards, and ensure safer operations in the offshore environment. offshore environment.
