Pipeline & Wellhead Maintenance Of Coinoil Aunty Julie Platform

Pipeline & Wellhead Maintenance Of Coinoil Aunty Julie Platform

The maintenance operation at Aunty Julie Platform focused on ensuring the integrity and efficiency of the pipeline network and wellheads. This proactive maintenance was essential to preventing leaks, optimizing production, and enhancing overall safety in the offshore facility.

Technology Used

Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) – For detailed underwater pipeline and wellhead inspections. Smart Pigging Technology – Used to clean and assess pipeline conditions internally. Ultrasonic Testing (UT) & Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) – For structural integrity checks. Cathodic Protection Systems – To prevent corrosion and extend asset lifespan

Project Status

Completed
