Intelligent Pigging

Panorama Oil & Gas Sdn Bhd have the capability to facilitate your pipeline maintenance needs. We have state of the art intelligent pigging solutions and an extensive experience in pipeline cleaning and geometrical in-line inspection.

We can provide pipeline cleaning services, geometry inspecition services and metal loss inspection services.


Electronic Geometric Survey

Electronic Geometry Pigs are intended for measurement of internal pipeline bore profile and determination of pipeline axis position.

Operation principle of electronic geometry pig is based on reconstruction of pipe internal cross section according to the data of lever measuring system. Cross section is reconstructed by means of recording angular position of the laywers covering 100% of pipe internal circumference. Pipeline axis position is determined witht he use of inertial navigation system data.


Magnetic Inspection

Magnetic method of in-line inspection is based on registering stray magnetic fields, arising from magnetization of the wall of the pipeline. The essence of this method is that if there is any anomaly in the wall of the pipeline, a part of magnetic flow is dispersed on the anomaly, and this may be recorded by the sensor, located close to the pipeline surface.

Magnetizing the wall of the pipeline by ILI tools is provided through permanent magnets, placed on a cylindrical yoke, and through flexible metallic brushes, transferring magnetic flow from the magnets to the wall of the pipeline.

Magnetic Flux Leakage tool

Magnetic flux leakage tools are designed to detect and record:

  • corrosion anomalies (corrosion, pitting, pinhole, circumferential grooving)
  • artificial defects of circumferential positioning
  • circumferential metallurgical anomalies
  • circumferential stress-corrosion cracks
  • girth weld anomalies

Transverse Field Inspection (TFI) tool

Transverse field inspection tools (TFI) are designed to detect and record:

  • corrosion anomalies (corrosion, pitting, pinhole, circumferential grooving)
  • artificial defects of axial positioning
  • axial metallurgical anomalies
  • axial stress-corrosion cracks
  • seam weld anomalies
