Oil & Gas
In the oil & gas industry, FOS&S sensing technology is applied in the management of subsea pipelines, ROV cables and composite pillars of oil platforms.
The management of these structures presents some distinct challenges, involving their high value, the difficult access conditions and the high risks associated with problems. Hence, it is critical that such structures are continuously monitored to optimise maintenance interventions.
Oil & Gas projects
Temperature monitoring in subsea oil pipelines
A fibre optic temperature cable is inserted into the pipeline to monitor the temperature on discrete positions over the required length of the pipeline
Strain monitoring of composite riser structures
The scope of this project was the characterisation of the mechanical behaviour of these composite pillars of oil platforms
Temperature monitoring system for ROV cables
The scope of this project is the monitoring of the internal temperature in an umbilical for a remotely operated vehicle (ROV)
