World first for StatoilNKT Flexibles' new optical monitoring system, which has been tested and qualified for stress measurement, has been ready for some time. The far less complex temperature measuring process is not expected to require special qualification.
- When you think how important totally reliable pipeline performance is for the oil and gas recovery process, our new monitoring system represents a valuable tool, says Michael C. Hjorth.
When a dynamic pipeline, around 800 m long, is installed in the Norne field in summer 2005, Statoil will become the world's first oil company to make use of the revolutionary new system.
