OMS helps to lessen project risk on Angola oilfield

摘要

UK-based specialist measurement technology company Optical Metrology Services (OMS) Ltd has successfully completed a six-week pipe inspection study for BP Exploration (Angola) Ltd, Block 31 PSVM deepwater Development in Angola. The contract, worth more than 650,000 pounds to OMS, required OMS to carry out an initial sample survey of pipe ends, followed by the detailed laser dimensional inspection, the sorting and marking of more than 12,000 pipe ends, including critical, fatigue-sensitive, flow line sections. As well as helping the customer to better implement the pipe end fit-up process and fatigue HiLo strengths, the study also ensured that the customer's pipe welding time and counter-bore crew costs were minimised.
