Abstract
E005 Electromagnetic Technology for Determining Technical Conditions of Oil and Gas Pipelines A. Mousatov* (Mexican Petroleum Institute) E. Nakamura (Mexican Petroleum Institute) V. Shevnin (Mexican Petroleum Institute) O. Delgado (Mexican Petroleum Institute) & E. Pervago (Mexican Petroleum Institute) SUMMARY In this paper we present an electromagnetic technology for non destructive surface inspection of metallic pipelines that includes the determination of pipeline position and depth assessment of technical condition of an insulation coating and estimation of operating state of a cathodic protection system. This technology is based on the approximation of a metallic pipeline by a heterogeneous transmission line. In the
