Pig Tracking

What Is Pig Patrol?

Isotopic Pigging – Tracking and Pig Recovery

Full services include onsite support personnel for subsea and topsides isotopic pig tracking, pig detection and tracking systems and isotope supply

• Utilising smart algorithms to reduce source activity and increase instrumentation sensitivity
• Small pig-mounted source with pipe or pig launcher/receiver mounted tracker for confirmed location and transit detection.
• Subsea: pig tracking and stuck pig location, NORM Assessments
• Topsides: (IS) pig tracking and stuck pig location
• Location and recovery of stuck pigs

Smart Technology An evolutionary shift in pipeline pig location and transit verification.

Utilising smart algorithms, reduced gamma-sources and increased instrumentation sensitivity Pig Patrol will improve regulatory compliance, HSE and operational performance metrics whilst getting the job done.

 Pig Tracking with Confidence

Pig Patrol location method utilises a small sealed radioactive source that is designed specifically for each programme. It is contained and attached to each pig allowing for confirmed location and transit detection.  This allows for accuracy of location within centimetres as well as verified transit during launch and receival.

Full services include onsite support personnel for subsea and topsides isotopic pig tracking, pig detection and tracking systems and isotope supply.

 Eliminate the risk of lost / stuck Pigs

Delays and related costs incurred locating lost or stuck Pigs can be onerous, however these can be reduced significantly with the consistent and low risk reliability of Pig Patrol. An industry-accepted technology with in-built versatility to adapt to surface, offshore and subsea pipelines providing  performance and confidence to owners.
