Pipeline Research Limited offers a design, development and simulation service for pipelines and pigging. This allows a better understanding of pigging, safer passage of pigs through pipelines and innovative solutions for the challenges that face pipeline operators and pig users today.
Pipeline Research Limited also helps to organise pig testing and advise clients on when this is necessary or helpful to avoid problems.
We cannot see into a pipeline to observe what is happening to the pigs and fluids within. We need indirect ways of assessing the efficiency of the pigging operation, the safe passage of pigs through pipelines, the status of the pipeline integrity and any deposits that may be present in the line. There are various ways in which this is being tackled.
Software aims to complement good design, testing and development, and provide design tools for pigs in general. This is the aim and goal of Pipeline Research Limited and is being implemented through the inhouse PIGLAB software.
As an independent Consultancy in the Pipeline and Pigging Industry, we provide design, development and test services.
Models and methods used in-house for clients to understand the behaviour of pigs in oil and gas pipelines.
We've been involved in a number of exciting projects over the years. These include pigging dynamics in gas pipelines, development of dual and multi-diameter pipes and feasibility studies.
