The advent of advanced inspection technologies is augmenting the growth of the intelligent pigging market

 

Intelligent Pigging Market

In April 2019, LIN SCAN successfully completed the cleaning and inspection of three strategic crude oil loading lines in the UAE that had been deemed unpiggable. LIN SCAN carried out the geometric and metal loss inspection survey using its high-resolution magnetic flux leakage tool and submitted digital intelligent inspection reports for the integrity assessment of these lines.

Key players are operating in the global intelligent pigging market is LIN SCAN, T.D. Williamson, Inc., Baker Hughes Incorporated, GE Oil and Gas, NDT Global, Enduro Pipeline Services, Inc., Oil & Gas Explorers and Producers, Petrobras, OMV Group, ConocoPhillips, and Royal Dutch Shell PLC

The advent of advanced inspection technologies is supporting the growth of the intelligent pigging market. For instance, in September 2019, Indian Oil introduces a new artificial intelligence-powered intelligent pigging analysis software. The new intelligent pigging analysis software is based on Alethe Consulting’s MASS platform. Thus, the advent of advanced inspection technologies is expected to propel market growth. On the other hand, the high cost of adopting a pigging system is expected to restrict the market growth of intelligent pigging. Moreover, the increasing focus of key players on regular inspection and maintenance of pipelines is creating demand for advanced inspection such as multi-data set (MDS) for identifying dents and deformation (DEF) for detecting dents is further anticipated to accelerate the growth of the market.

North America is expected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the increasing shale gas and offshore deep-water exploration activities in the region. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the U.S. natural gas production in 2020 was about 34.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), the second-highest annual amount recorded. In 2020, U.S. dry natural gas production was about 10% greater than U.S. total natural gas consumption. Five of the 35 natural gas-producing states accounted for about 69% of total U.S. dry natural gas production in 2019.

Intelligent Pigging or intelligent tunneling is the process of inspection of underground pipelines employing state-of-art digital imaging techniques to reveal their structural condition. The increased regulatory requirements and mandatory pipeline inspections have necessitated the need for the intelligent pigging agency for pipelines owned by public companies. These intelligent tunneling systems are applied to locate the root cause of pipeline blockage and detect the location of obstructions. It also helps in reducing pipeline blockage, improving gas quality, and improving pipeline operations.

The application of intelligent pigging camera systems for pipeline inspection techniques is widely adopted by pipeline companies to ensure leakages and prevent the occurrence of pipeline disasters. This is important to avoid costly pipeline accidents that can lead to oil and gas accidents and releases toxic gases. The installation of the intelligent camera system in pipelines has proved to be a highly beneficial and cost-effective option to identify all types of defects.

Fitness Equipment Market is doing warm-ups to pull growth-rich opportunities from the growing obesity rates accompanied by the sedentary lifestyles

Image
  Fitness equipment is any mechanical device or equipment used in sport or exercise to improve the physical performance or strength of that activity by providing either adjustable or constant levels of force, either of dynamic nature that is immediately available to exert (such as running) or of a static type that requires adjustments (such as a bicycle). Some common types of equipment are treadmills, elliptical machines, step machines, exercise bicycles, recumbent bikes, treadmill monitors, rowing machines, and many more. Fitness equipment is used in gyms and private home fitness facilities as well as public parks and recreational facilities. Fitness equipment for the home is designed to provide low-impact aerobic workouts. Some items are available for rent or sale on the Internet. Rowing machines and exercise bicycles can give an all-over body workout, while Schwinn exercise bicycles can be used to target specific muscles. Fitness equipment for home gyms can be classified into ...

The market for ureteral stents would benefit from the rising prevalence of urological diseases

Image
  A ureteral stent is a slender adaptable cylinder embedded straightforwardly into the ureter to forestall or cure block of the urinary entry from the ureter. The length of these stents utilized for grown-up quiet's reaches somewhere in the range of 30 and 24 inches. Furthermore, various distances across or sizes of stents are accessible, to suit distinctive ureter sizes. This permits treatment choices to be customized to the person, just as to the degree of obstacle. Urinary stents are made of either metal silicone or plastic. They are set straightforwardly into the bladder through the urethra valve. Ureteral stents can either be made percutaneously, through medical procedure or by methods for an outpatient strategy. Contingent upon the sort of ureter that is influenced, the technique can be either a solitary needle or numerous needles. The developing commonness of urological illnesses around the world is driving the development of the ureteral stents market . Development in t...

Increases in Fuel Prices Significantly Impacts Growth of Automotive Repair and Maintenance Services Market

Image
  The automotive repair and maintenance services market is expected to expand significantly in the near future. Mechanical services are likely to remain the largest sector while electronic services are expected to grow the fastest. New heavy-duty vehicle dealers are expected to lead gains while independent repair shops, specialized mechanics and general automotive service companies will maintain their share of the market. The top performing providers will share the lion's share of market revenues with the top performing service providers. The gap between the two in terms of growth will widen further as traditional dealers find it difficult to survive the economic downturn. As the industry continues to reinvent itself, several factors are likely to impact the service sector. Economic Factors: The automotive repair and maintenance services market employs a large number of skilled workers. These works for the majority of the firms that provide services for automobiles. The high inf...
