State-of-the-art coiled tubing inspection system consists of MFL technology with Eddy current inspection for detection of longitudinal, transverse and 3 dimensional defects on OD & ID surfaces with accurate measurement of wall thickness and ovality with scanning speed of 1 meter per second. Precise equipment to meet the stringent requirement of API Spec 5ST, API RP 5 C8 and client procedure such as ARAMCO.

AlMansoori performs integrated inspection system that inspects used tubing by Electro Magnetic Inspection (EMI) during pull-out, and hydro tests the string during completion. The EMI is done using purpose built portable inspection system that will be fixed on the rig floor, and tubing pulled out through it.

The unit consists of 3 separate chambers: a pneumatic chamber-sensor combination that detects any split or hole in the tubing, and 2 hall effect sensor chambers (one to monitor any reduction in wall thickness due to wall thinning or rod-wear and another to detect any corrosion, transverse cuts, cracks, scales etc ). The unit is remotely operated by the inspection engineer from trailer, and each tubing in the string is classified based on API RP 5C1.

This unique system facilitates NDT as well as pressure testing of the tubing string in one go to reduce turn around time of the rig significantly besides cutting cost of tubing that could be reused.
