Richard Brown

British asset integrity specialist Optical Metrology Services (OMS) will be discussing the latest advances in pipeline analysis technology at this year’s Subsea Expo.

Taking place at the Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC) between 1-3 February, the leading subsea event will play host to more than 5,000 delegates from around the world.

OMS engineering manager Richard Brown will present one of the exhibition’s expert conference sessions at 3pm on Wednesday 1 February. The presentation will focus on emerging technologies for the rapid inspection and qualification of critical weld features in the pipe firing line using state-of-the-art weld inspection techniques.

Brown will examine the importance of gaining detailed insight into internal weld features, such as root penetration and undercut, at a time when the industry is being forced to maintain integrity whilst seeking cost efficiencies. Delegates will also benefit from his experience and real-world examples from more than six years at OMS. Commenting on the exhibition, OMS CEO Denise Smiles said: "As one of the world’s most renowned oil and gas events, Subsea Expo is a key date in the calendar for professionals across the globe.

"We’re looking forward to sharing insight and experience with delegates about the market’s latest trends and developments. Visitors to the session are welcome to meet with Richard and discuss inspection technology further."
