    The document discusses practical solutions for inspecting pipelines that were previously considered "unpiggable". It outlines how tools and technologies have evolved over time to enable inspection of more complex pipelines. A simplified approach is presented to manage complexity which involves assessing standard tools, modifying tools if needed, or developing new customized solutions. Risk-based inspection and selection methods are emphasized to prioritize inspection of the highest risk pipelines. Several case studies are presented demonstrating how different customized tools and technologies have been used to inspect specific challenging pipeline situations, including bi-directional magnetic flux leakage tools, low pressure crawlers, and robotic survey systems.

    The presentation discusses practical solutions for challenging pipelines including risk-based inspection strategies and case studies of robotic tools for internal inspection.

    The presentation mentions that pipelines can become unpiggable due to factors like geometry, flow rates and pressures. Managing complexity involves options like pipeline or tool modification through temporary modifications or new tool development.

    The presentation shows that pipeline inspection technology has evolved significantly from 1965 to 2013 with capabilities like higher flow rates, pressures and distances now possible through developments like active speed control, low flow tools, crack inspection tools and multi-diameter tools.

    CASE BY CASE 10 ROBOTIC MFL CRAWLER


    Cost effective - Bi-directional approach avoids the need for expensive
    receiver while the MFL technology avoids the need to liquid fill the line
    Safe - Extremely powerful crawler provides full control over the tool
    movement whilst well designed fail safe measures ensure the tool can
    always be recovered
    Quality - high resolution MFL data quality, 100% coverage in one single
    pass and tool records both ways

    Reliable - MFL technology is a robust and proven technology known to be


    least sensitive to debris
    Easy - The crawler approach avoids the need for heavy equipment such
    as compressors/ wire line trucks
