NEWS ALERT: A Logical Solution to CUI on Oil & Gas Pipelines
Oil and gas pipelines are sometimes insulated to maintain the high or low temperatures of their contents. Unfortunately, compromised barrier wraps can allow the ingress of corrosives. Furthermore, the simple temperature difference between pipeline contents and ambient air can prompt condensation. Both issues can lead to unseen corrosion under insulation (CUI)—a threat to pipeline integrity.

NEWS ALERT: Is Your Backup Offshore Power System Ready for Emergencies?
Lightning strikes, strong winds, hurricanes, corrosion, or equipment malfunctions can cause power outages on an offshore oil rig. The loss of electricity can lead to lost production, safety hazards, and even oil spills. Backup power systems and UPSs (uninterrupted power supplies) are therefore indispensable. But what happens if those backup power systems fail or are
