ClampOn Subsea Choke Condition Monitor (CCM)
We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar,
ClampOn Subsea Choke Condition Monitor
scheduled for 30th of January at 10:00 AM CET.
The webinar will last approx. 45 min (includes Q/A)
Introducing ClampOn’ s latest application for inspection and continuous condition monitoring of subsea production and injection chokes.
Can choke failures be reduced by condition monitoring?
A production choke valve is one of the most important components in an oil and gas production system. A failure means production stop, which is very costly. The make, type and configuration are selected based on the type of well, pressure and other parameters, hence there’s not a common failure mode for all. Cavitation, acoustic cavity resonance, and chatter are some of the known drivers of choke valve failures. These issues can also cause damage to components and pipework upstream and downstream of the choke. For example, pipeline welds and walls can crack, and prolonged pipework vibration driven by high-frequency noise from the choke can lead to weld failures. These are just a few of many sources that may lead to failure.
In some cases, failure can be prevented by changing the choke opening, reducing or increasing the flow which again reduces or removes the driver that can lead to failure. Let’s imagine a well start-up on a high-pressure gas field. The pressure difference across the choke is very high. The choke is opened carefully, a few percentages at a time, and left at a small opening. Without monitoring it is impossible to know the sound pressure level or vibration forces being generated by the flow through the choke, and there is high potential for damage. With monitoring in place, it is possible to identify if the SPL and or vibration levels are too high, and in example the choke can be opened further, reducing the vibration / noise level. This way the operator has a real time monitoring solution which can help reduce failures during start-up but also during normal production
Our solution can help reduce choke failures:
- provides information to change choke flow
- monitors in real-time
- provides information to plan maintenance intervals
- sensors are non-intrusive and non-invasive
