PureHM's Tim Ross explores the downfalls of conventional pig tracking and explains how permanent remote tracking can improve safety and help operators realize significant cost savings in World Pipeline's October issue.
Canada has approximately 100,000 kilometers (62,000 miles) of transmission pipeline ranging from 4 to 48 inches in diameter. With the large distance of pipeline and the expectation that Global energy demand will increase by 33% by 2035, safe pipeline operations…
Before Spectrum XLI was known as the leading system in above-ground inspections, it was originally called the Pisces Program, a system designed for field technicians to complete river crossing surveys from a boat. Prior to the Pisces Program, when a…
Over 1 million kilometers (620,000 miles) of oil and gas transmission pipelines in North America require inspection and assessment to ensure the products transported reach their destinations safely – a total distance equivalent to 78 trips around the circumference of…
Safety is very important in the pipeline industry because the work has the potential to be harmful or life threatening if completed without the proper precautions. To ensure everyone goes home safe and sound, pipeline companies place great emphasis on…
PureHM’s Spectrum XLI is a complete system for above-ground inspection of buried pipelines. Historically, above-ground inspection tools have only collected a single data source in each pass of the pipeline. This means the operator needed to complete multiple passes of…
Pinhole leaks are challenging for pipeline operators because they pose a large environmental threat, but are very difficult to detect. However, due to recent advances in pipeline integrity technology, operators are now able to detect these leaks that conventional ILI…
As inline inspection technology evolves, the way operators track tools through a pipeline should also evolve. Using multiple sensors to identify a pig passing an AGM is a proven way to improve the reliability of tracking. In conventional tracking, a…
As PureHM continues to expand in the pipeline industry, we are excited to announce two new additions to our team, Michael McGee, and Rob Zmud. Michael McGee, a former U.S. Marine, is accomplished pipeline professional with 15-years of oil and…
