The Future of Pipeline Inspection: Smart Pigging Innovations
As the oil and gas industry evolves to meet stricter safety, environmental, and regulatory standards, so too must the tools and techniques used to inspect pipeline systems.
Criteria provided within the UFC documents are aimed at enhancing fuel quality, longevity of tank and pipeline infrastructure, safety, and environmental protection. Compliance with such guidelines can improve the efficiency and integrity of fuel systems.
Compliance with MegaRule regulations for inspection practices is important for evaluating the need for maintenance/repairs and identifying potential hazards and costly corrosion problems before an issue arises or in a timely enough manner to intervene if damages occur. This increases safety and reduces risk of equipment loss and harm to the environment that may be caused by leaks.
New guidelines have come into effect greatly altering the process for testing pipelines both prior to service and once in service. Our team of experts is ready to test and inspect your equipment, so that your operations remain online.
The Mega Rule regulates the operation of transmission pipelines. Specifically, it determines the maximum allowable operating pressure regulations, material verification requirements, and now moderate consequence areas. The rule affects previously “grandfathered” pipelines.

For pipeline operators managing critical energy infrastructure, smart pigging offers one of the most effective strategies for preventing corrosion, identifying defects, and preserving asset value.
In today’s oil and gas industry, reducing environmental impact is as critical as ensuring profitability.
Pipeline operators face critical decisions when selecting the right smart pigging services to maintain safety, efficiency, and long-term pipeline integrity.
Smart pigging is a vital component of pipeline maintenance, helping operators detect early signs of corrosion, assess pipeline condition, and prevent costly failures.
Offshore pipeline maintenance presents unique and high-stakes challenges.
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is a renewable, clean fuel source. RNG is a a type of biogas, or biomethane gas that is refined and cleaned to meet the pipeline-quality standards of natural gas.
The most common collection points for RNG are landfills, farms, and wastewater treatment. Renewable Natural Gas can also be collected from factories from industrial processes.
Methane emissions are collected on site and go through a complex purification process before they are ready for use and considered a natural gas equivalent.
The most common uses for Renewable Natural Gas is as an alternative fuel source. It can be used to fuel cars, for heat, and for electricity generation.
RNG has a variety of benefits, including environmental and economic advantages over other fuel sources. It has been linked to improved air quality and removes harmful methane from the air. RNG also diversifies our fuel sources and can improve local economies.
