Imrandd has strengthened its global footprint after completing its first contract in Australia for a major upstream operator.
The firm successfully delivered an advanced inspection data analytics and integrity scope, determining the future condition of a caisson on an offshore asset.
This confirmed its integrity until the cessation of the production facility, eliminating the need for a very expensive caisson replacement project.
For the Australian E&P business, Imrandd’s team of data scientists and engineers used their proprietary technologies to collate and condition data sets from two ultrasonic corrosion mapping inspections conducted years apart. Instead of relying on the conventional industry approach, which assumes uniform corrosion rates, Imrandd applied advanced corrosion growth models.
These models account for changes in both corrosion extent and depth, with statistical analysis of thickness variations between inspections providing more accurate future condition estimates.
Imrandd CEO Innes Auchterlonie said: “We are thrilled with the results of our first project in Australia, which demonstrates our ability to deliver high-value asset integrity analysis and recommendations that allow our clients to make informed decisions that count.
“Our blend of advanced technologies and experienced specialists deliver actionable insights, arming our customers with the right information to reduce operational costs, enhance integrity, and extend the life of assets.”
He added: “By highlighting issues before they become critical, operators’ integrity management strategies can evolve from reactive to proactive.
“As the energy transition ramps up, this approach applies not just to oil and gas assets, but to any sector with safety-critical equipment and infrastructure.”
Imrandd’s technology portfolio includes its recently launched event-driven proprietary software, ALERT, which monitors for corrosion threats, allowing organisations to act before damage occurs. ALERT analyses integrity data in near real-time, reducing inspection time and costs for asset owners.
The company’s dedication to innovation has seen its R&D and Data division more than double over the last two years, increasing the team’s headcount to 12 and the overall workforce to 63.
