Repurpose Access Fittings for Chemical Injection, Sampling, or Plug and Abandon

Material Selection for Monitoring System Hardware

Axess explain various types of corrosion, including uniform, galvanic, pitting, crevice, intergranular, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC), highlighting their unique characteristics and specific prevention strategies. Furthermore, they stress the importance of considering numerous factors beyond initial costs, such as environmental conditions, mechanical properties, design parameters, and long-term reliability, advocating for upfront investment in high-quality materials to achieve significant overall cost savings and enhanced safety throughout a system's lifecycle.

Polymer Coupons in Flexible Risers

Since flexible risers usually have both polymer and metallic layers, monitoring the corrosion of the metal components is essential as well. * Corrosion Coupons: These are small metal pieces attached to the riser to monitor the rate of corrosion over time. * Galvanic Corrosion Monitoring: Monitoring the galvanic potential between the polymer and the metal layers can provide insights into corrosion effects, especially in underwater environments.

Repurpose Access Fittings for Chemical Injection, Sampling, or Plug and Abandon

Axess offers solutions for managing access fittings used in corrosion control systems. Their direct injection technology allows for safe, online chemical treatment through repurposed or new fittings, even in space-restricted areas, potentially reducing costs and improving integrity by eliminating side connections. For fittings no longer needed, Axess provides patented plug and abandonment methods involving purging and sealing to prevent degradation and address the risks associated with "dead legs." Additionally, existing monitoring fittings can be repurposed for various functions like chemical injection or sampling, ensuring they remain within maintenance programs.

Axess received the MECOC EXPO 2025 [https://www.linkedin.com/company/mecocmiddleeast/] vendor award for innovative product solutions in Abu Dhabi last week. This is a wonderful achievement and will undoubtedly help Axess's aim of making intrusive monitoring systems safer and easier. Listen and learn how it works and why it's changing the monitoring landscape.

Offshore Incident with Hydraulic Equipment

In 2008 two technicians made an error when re-installing a hydraulic plug, they'd not locked the carrier plug into the correct position. Procedures were not followed and training programs had to be re-vamped. Since this incident, Axess has developed the Janus Guard for Hydraulic Retrieval which will prevent this incident from re-occurring. A simple device that should be in every toolbox. get in touch to learn more info@axess.energy [info@axee.energy]
