Supporting energy transition

14Features and benefits• Corrosion management andresponse planning

As the globe targets significant
reductions in carbon emissions, theenergy industry is adapting at an everincreasing pace. And, as more operators
turn to processes such as sequestrationand tertiary recovery to meet energy
transition goals, concerns aroundthe pipelines transporting CO2 haveincreased.
Because CO2 is heavier than air, as
well as colorless and odorless, a leak
could go undetected, allowing the CO2
to spread low along the ground or in
confined spaces, displacing oxygen andcreating numerous health and safety
risks.
Pipeline threats exist everywhere, andthey are ever present. Whether it’s anexternal threat like nearby excavation, oran internal threat like the very productthe pipeline carries, or coating on thepipeline itself, maintaining pipelines andthe ability to predict potential problems
with pipeline stability has never been
more important than it is now.

Repurposing
decommissioned lines
Operators are now faced with theneed to recommission previously
decommissioned pipelines, whichraises concerns around understanding
the condition and worthiness of these
dormant lines.
To meet approaching environmental
requirement deadlines, Baker Hughes,
Process & Pipeline Services (PPS) isprepared to partner with operators

to reduce concerns around the safe
operation of those pipelines with ourfitness for service solutions.

One source; complete solutions
for years to comeOur Carbon Capture Services leverage
the MagneScan super high resolution
MFL4 tool, along side strain-based
integrity assessment, to provide theright solution for your business.
Baker Hughes’ MagneScan MFL4 tool
sets the standard for reliable metal
loss inspection results. Designed towithstand harsh operating conditions, it
has proven its versatility in a wide range
of applications in every type of pipeline– dry or liquid, overland or subsea.
Super high resolution detection/sizingof smallest defects (pinholes) improves
accuracy of sizing, drawing on Baker
Hughes’ unparalleled inspection
experience to bring the highest levelsof accuracy to data analysis andinterpretation. MagneScan detects:• internal and external pitting• general corrosion• hard spots in the pipe wall
• metal loss associated with dents
and under casings• repair shells• metal object• girth weld anomalies
Our magnet brush design results ina higher magnetic field introduced
into the pipe wall, and an increased
magnetic response from defects.
Furthermore, the tri-axial sensors on all• Our highest-definition tools
have the capability to detect
pinhole-sized features, seeing
the most minute areas of metalloss• Detect and assess girth weld
cracking, assisted by our
extensive database of actualand known manufactured
defects• Detect bending strain andaxial strain following external
events to support geohazard
management programs andidentify new threat locations• Revalidate pipeline integrity• Cleaning to prepare for CO2• Inert system prior tocommissioning• Clean new or existing
compressors

Additional services• Flooding, cleaning, gauging
and testing (FCGT)• Pigging and gauging• Dewatering and drying• Pipeline conditioning• ThreatScan — real time impact
detection

of our MFL4 tools:• Discriminate axial features compared to single axis MFL• Generate distinguishable signals for pin-holes on areliable and repeatable basis• Allow the overlay of data streams to ensure complexity isunderstood and accounted for in sizing methodology• Eliminate the need for supplementary Transverse or

45-degree inspection data for metal loss features• Provide sizing methodologies based on 100,000’s of defectmorphologies• Has confirmed specification based on 150,000 plus dig
results, of which 50,000 plus LaserScan signals have beencorrelated to the inspection signals
Baker Hughes’ AXISSTM technology measures axial strain inpipelines. It is the solution needed to mitigate axial strains prior
to developing into injurious values that may cause pipeline
failures. AXISS offers a number of key advantages for axial
strain monitoring:• Enables cost-effective and continuous measurement ofaxial strain along the entire pipeline’s length;• Measures small changes in strain conditions over the
lifetime of the pipeline;• Provides proactive risk management by detecting criticalstrain conditions due to areas of known and unknown
geohazards or other causes of pipeline axial loading.

Previously, this type of detection required localized strain
monitoring at known high-risk sites. AXISS can be run

simultaneously with our MagneScan MFL4 tool, enablingcost-effective and continuous measurement of axial strain
along the entire length of the pipeline. Together these twotechnologies deliver the the detailed data and high confidence
levels essential for a productive integrity management
program.
Using industry leading technology like RunComTM, the PPS
suite of run-comparison software, we can analyze datafrom multiple in-line inspections, performing a direct andquantitative comparison to help operators understandand mitigate threats, providing your decision makers withactionable information.
PPS has a long history of providing accurate and reliabledata on pipeline conditions and complete pipeline integrity
solutions. That means you have one source providing
information on the current condition of a pipeline, reducing
risk and minimizing costs by avoiding unnecessary repairs toachieve regulatory compliance.
ILI data (along with other data points) not only gives you aclear picture of current conditions of a pipeline, it can also be
used to predict the future condition. This process can take
into account the pipeline remaining in its current mode ofoperation, or changes to its future operation — age, weather
conditions, pipeline coating, or the product within.
