www.sonomatic.com Case Study Design Project Project: Pipeline Integrity Assessment Scope: Detailed statistical analysis following ultrasonic pigging inspection of a section of line Equipment: Subsea pipelines transporting produced fluids. Benefits: The Sonomatic analysis formed the basis for a case for continued operation, including the sections of line for which ultrasonic pigging inspection was not possible. This meant the cost facilitating access for a full inspection did not have to be incurred. The statistical analysis highlighted improvements in defect definition that allowed a more representative FFP case resulting in a upward revision of safe remaining life with significant savings in replacement cost. The statistical analysis provide
