Application Spotlight: Offshore Drilling
The offshore oil and gas industry faces some unique challenges. Due to advances in geology and drilling techniques, many older, aging platforms are forced to extend beyond their designed lifespan and continue production. In addition to asset management, the industry is under pressure to meet methane emissions reduction targets, which in some cases are self-imposed.

Inspecting Motors, Pumps, and Valves
A motor breakdown, pump failure, or valve leak is always a critical issue in the oil and gas supply chain. They can result in pollution, product or energy loss, and shutdown of equipment or a production line. That’s why motor, pump, and valve inspections using FLIR thermal imaging technology are a vitally important part of predictive maintenance programs for so many businesses.

Application Spotlight: Upstream and Midstream Security
With miles of gas lines to manage, oil and gas companies face many security and asset monitoring challenges. One solution is a thermal security solution that provides early warning of gas flow issues through pipes, as well as perimeter protection. Unique analytics allow companies to expand perimeter protection without a large investment in additional fence and or hardware.

Inspecting Natural Gas Compressors
Compressors can fail for several reasons, including extensive wear or thermal stress on components. Determining the source of the failure through external inspections can be time consuming and labor intensive, while internal component inspections are challenging when you can't directly see inside the equipment. Incorporating a borescope or OGI camera into a routine maintenance plan can help natural gas companies improve safety, reduce costs, and extend the life of compressors.

Application Spotlight: Electrical On-Site Substation
Maintenance personnel must routinely monitor Load Tap Changers (LTCs) for signs of trouble, including leaks, hot spots, and low oil levels. These systems have built-in gauges that aren’t always correct, and they can be difficult to check or even reach with traditional tools. Thermal imaging can help inspectors assess the health of LTCs and monitor them in real-time to ensure transformers are running at peak performance.
-
Application Spotlight: Electrical Systems Distribution Inspection
Electrical connection and component failures can be expensive to repair and lead to expensive, unplanned downtime. That's why it's important to keep electrical distribution system in proper working order—from busbars to circuit breakers and fuses. Thermal imaging can provide key information on how these systems are functioning, helping maintenance professionals quickly troubleshoot overheating electrical connections and components.
