HOIS collaboration with the Oil & Gas Technology Centre

HOIS is thrilled to announce a project with the Oil & Gas Technology Centre to expand and accelerate an ambitious and strategic project on inspection of external corrosion and corrosion under insulation (CUI). External corrosion (whether under insulation or not) is a significant and costly issue for oil and gas facility owners and so has been a high priority for HOIS as it seeks to demonstrate the potential of novel techniques and to highlight and understand better the limitations of existing technologies.

This significant investment in a new joint-funded project will not only provide enhanced facilities for ongoing evaluation trials of advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment (including substantial additions to the existing trial specimen database and significantly improved benchmarking capabilities) but also allow further trials of novel or improved inspection technologies for these challenging applications.

The results of the trials will enable updates to the HOIS CUI Guidance Document and the development of HOIS Guidance for Inspection through External Corrosion Scabs.

HOIS looks forward to an exciting and productive collaboration with the Technology Centre to advance NDT for the oil and gas sector.
