Imrandd Prevents Costly Caisson Replacement for Australian Operator

Imrandd has strengthened its global footprint after completing its first contract in Australia for a major upstream operator.

The firm has successfully delivered an advanced inspection data analytics and integrity scope which determined the future condition of a caisson on an offshore asset, reliably confirming its integrity until cessation of the production facility and removing the need for a very expensive caisson replacement project.

For the Australian E&P business, Imrandd’s team of data scientists and engineers used their propriety technologies to collate and condition data sets from two existing ultrasonic corrosion mapping inspections conducted several years apart. Rather than using the conventional industry approach where uniform corrosion rates are assumed, Imrandd utilised advanced corrosion growth models that account for changes in both corrosion extent and depth, with statistical analysis of the thickness variations between inspections providing the basis for more representative future condition estimates.

Imrandd CEO Innes Auchterlonie said: “We are thrilled with the results of our first project in Australia, which demonstrates our ability to deliver high value asset integrity analysis and recommendations that allow our clients to make informed decisions that count. Our blend of advanced technologies...
