The Welltec® Riser Scanner (WRS)

For subsea riser inspection

Introduction

The Welltec Riser Scanner (WRS) is based on analyzing response of scanning a surface with a laser.
∙ Data acquisition for detecting very small defects in a surface – even in turbid environments.
∙ Using 8 lasers and cameras, the WRS can inspect the full diameter of a pipe from the inside.
∙ The operation is no more complex than any conventional wireline operation.
∙ The software helps identify abnormalities, so that large amounts of data can be analyzed quickly.

 

Overview

The Welltec Riser Scanner (WRS) provides the oil and gas industry a revolutionary, time-savings method for conducting subsea riser inspection.

This e-line tool provides a very high resolution, ‘touch free’ scan of the riser, overcoming the inherent challenges posed by ultrasonic or multifinger caliper measurements. Simultaneously, running the scan in a vertical position precludes the need to rig down / rig up the riser in order to perform the inspection, saving hours of high cost rig time.
