Maintain Pipeline Integrity with Wellube’s Advanced Online Leak Sealing Services
Leakage sealing is now widely regarded as a cost-effective repair option for standard metallic materials in the oil and gas industry. Safe and effective online leak sealing is supported by stringent procedures and practices across the petrochemical, oil and gas, power production, gas distribution, and nuclear industries. A leaking oil pipeline can be repaired without the need to isolate, shut down, or drain it.
When a substantial leak occurs in a pipeline within a continuous process facility, three alternatives are often available to resolve the problem. The first method involves shutting down the pipeline for traditional repair, the second is allowing the leak continue for a limited time, and the third repairing the breach while the pipeline remains at full pressure and temperature.
Pipeline leaks can occur at flanges, straight pipes, elbows, tees, and valve glands, among other places. This is due to the nature of the pipeline contents, particularly where the flow is turbulent and the pipeline is prone to corrosion and/or erosion, such as near elbows and tees or at a flange junctions or a valves. Leaks can also happen at pipeline weld sites where the pipeline material is not uniform.
As a leading provider of online leak sealing solutions, Wellube utilizes cutting-edge technology and specialized equipment to effectively tackle even the most challenging leak-sealing scenarios.
