What is less clear is when to make them, and what the impacts of those decisions are. So, we decided to do something about it, to support both our customers and the wider O&amp;G community&#8217;s decision making by producing a microsite guide which specifically addresses failing IR.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, based on our experience and established chemistry theory,\u00a0 we had developed a hypothesis about the effects of seawater on the copper conductors of subsea systems experiencing failing IR. This was an itch we simply had to scratch, and so our PhD student put to this hypothesis to the test over the summer, through a series of controlled tests on both the V-LIM and on an alternative LIM monitoring device. Neil Douglas, Viper Innovations Managing Director, has published the results will be available in the forthcoming Oilfield Technology Magazine, and which can be read in advance on our microsite guide. We are sure you will find the results to be of great interest.<\/p>\n<p>This guide provides a valuable insight on failing IR and discusses what the decisions are, their impacts and when to make them. <a href=\"https:\/\/ir.viperinnovations.com\/\">https:\/\/ir.viperinnovations.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1894,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
