Inspection Magnetique de Surface (Contacless magnetic inspection)

Objective

90% of Oil and Gas products are transported and distributed through a network of pipelines. These networks are, for the most part, buried metallic structures which makes them prone to corrosion. To ensure their operational safety most countries require compulsory inspection every 6/10 years, minimum.

The inspections are usually conducted through instruments that are inserted into the pipeline to assess its structural integrity. However, due to operational constraints, 30% of the worldwide network (1.5 million KM or 38 times the circumference of planet earth) cannot be inspected with such tool. This constitutes a real security threat for operators with potentially significant human, environmental and material consequences.

Skipper NDT has developed an innovative technology that allows the contactless inspection (from the surface of the ground) of pipeline that cannot be tested with the technology currently available. This technology will help reduce incidents which result in toxic products being spilled on the ground (Oil) or evaporated in the atmosphere and contributing to the greenhouse effect (Gas) in addition to protecting the people in proximity.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

SME-1 - SME instrument phase 1

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
