Reducing Inspection Scope Through Targeted Campaigns

Inspection planning relied on conservative assumptions due to fragmented historical data. Internal findings, external surveys, and rectification records were difficult to correlate spatially, leading to unnecessarily broad inspection scopes and costly offshore activity.

Inputs and context

Representative sources used during delivery.

Offshore pipeline system
Multiple inspection campaigns spanning several years
Internal and external datasets across vendors and formats
Delivery Breakdown

A clearer way to plan, assess and justify the work

The workflow moved scattered inspection evidence into a more structured, repeatable and reviewable process.

Challenge

Inspection planning relied on conservative assumptions due to fragmented historical data. Internal findings, external surveys, and rectification records were difficult to correlate spatially, leading to unnecessarily broad inspection scopes and costly offshore activity.

Why it worked

Engineering-grade KP alignment and lifecycle continuity enabled confident correlation of anomalies across inspection campaigns and types, eliminating the need for conservative coverage.

Delivery focus

Repeatable evidence packs, recorded assumptions, clear change history and outputs suitable for review or handover.

Approach

What changed

Typical delivery steps, designed to be repeatable and reviewable.

01

Internal ILI anomalies and external survey data aligned to a common KP reference

02

Historical inspection data consolidated into a single, lifecycle-aware integrity record

03

Automated integrity checks enabled rapid reassessment with consistent rules

Outcomes

Observable impact

Observable outcomes, without over-claiming.

~30% reduction in inspection scope through targeted historical analysis

Same-day reassessment when new inspection data introduced

Fewer offshore survey and inspection days required
