Oil and gas
DNV testing helps quantify the effect of wave induced displacements on the performance of jacket-pile grouted connections during the installation
Our laboratories are assisting operators to use securely moored oil and gas assets well beyond original design life.
Expert advice before the design stage draws on testing and modelling to help specify the right materials for oil and gas equipment.
Improving asset reliability when faced with complex materials and integrity challenges in sour service field developments.
External corrosion is a threat to most equipment in every process facility and deserves closer analysis and prediction than it currently receives.
Systematic and thorough analysis is required to say with confidence what kind of failure is involved and what led to it
In a study of 1,000+ cases in oil & gas and maritime, research by DNV’s laboratories also identify fatigue and corrosion to be the most common modes of component failure.
Mixing gases from varying sources in gas networks can raise levels of natural radioactivity in dust and sludge found in pipeline systems, but complete risk-management solutions exist.
Trust is key to unlocking additive manufacturing’s potential for your business. We look at the top benefits of, and barriers to, this technology, and how DNV can help your sector to use it to become safer, more efficient and more sustainable.
