Breaking it Down: Offshore Decommissioning
07-Oct-2020By: The Pipeline
When it’s time to begin the process of decommissioning an offshore oil and gas platform, there are many factors to keep in mind. For example, the age and location of the structure, as well as its history and any unique features may need to be considered. And then there are always unknown potential hazards that may arise while work is underway.

How Doing Things the Hard Way Led Danos to a Better Solution
16-Apr-2020By: The Pipeline
Performing maintenance on an industrial piping area can be a bit like trying to pick the right piece of fruit. Even if it looks good and feels ripe, you really don’t know what you’ve got until you cut into it.
