Case study (anonymised)

Reducing Inspection Scope Through Targeted Campaigns

Inspection planning relied on conservative assumptions due to fragmented historical data. Internal findings, external surveys, and rectification records were difficult to correlate spatially, leading to unnecessarily broad inspection scopes and costly offshore activity.

  • Evidence packs designed for review forums
  • Assumptions and thresholds recorded
  • Outputs versioned for handover

Challenge

Inspection planning relied on conservative assumptions due to fragmented historical data. Internal findings, external surveys, and rectification records were difficult to correlate spatially, leading to unnecessarily broad inspection scopes and costly offshore activity.

Common failure mode

Decisions get made on screenshots and ad-hoc spreadsheets, with limited traceability back to source.

What “good” looks like

A pack you can rerun: inputs, checks, assumptions, change log, and publishable outputs.

Inputs and context

Representative sources used during delivery.

Offshore pipeline systemMultiple inspection campaigns spanning several yearsInternal and external datasets across vendors and formats

Approach

Typical delivery steps, designed to be repeatable and reviewable.

  1. 01Internal ILI anomalies and external survey data aligned to a common KP reference

  2. 02Historical inspection data consolidated into a single, lifecycle-aware integrity record

  3. 03Automated integrity checks enabled rapid reassessment with consistent rules

Outcomes

Observable outcomes, without over-claiming.

  • ~30% reduction in inspection scope through targeted historical analysis

  • Same-day reassessment when new inspection data introduced

  • Fewer offshore survey and inspection days required

Next step

Bring one asset, one decision, and one delivery deadline. We’ll show what an evidence pack looks like.
