TOOL APPLICATION EXAMPLES
Launcher Repair
Repairing or upgrading pig launchers traditionally requires a full line shutdown, extended downtime, and complex coordination across teams. The PLUG inline isolation tool transforms this process by enabling safe, localized isolation directly at the launcher site—without depressurizing the entire system. This approach not only accelerates repair timelines but also enhances safety, reduces operational disruption, and preserves flow continuity for adjacent assets. Whether you're addressing valve replacement, flange integrity, or trap modifications, PLUG delivers precision and efficiency where it matters most
Under Grade Isolation
Accessing buried pipelines for maintenance or modification has traditionally meant excavation, full depressurization, and extended downtime. With the PLUG inline isolation tool, operators can isolate sections of pipe below grade with minimum disrupting flow to adjacent assets. This approach minimizes excavation footprint, enhances crew safety, and accelerates project timelines—whether you're replacing a valve, upgrading a tee, or preparing for tie-ins. PLUG brings precision and control to underground work, turning complex interventions into streamlined operations.
Midline Repair
Midline repairs often require isolating a section of pipe between two active endpoints—typically a complex, high-risk operation involving full system depressurization. The PLUG inline isolation tool changes that. By creating a secure, localized isolation zone directly at the repair site, PLUG enables crews to perform midline interventions—such as replacing fittings, repairing welds, or installing new components.
Hydro Testing
Hydrostatic testing is essential for verifying pipeline integrity, but traditional methods often require full depressurization and isolation across long segments—leading to extended downtime and operational disruption. The PLUG inline isolation tool streamlines this process by creating a localized test zone. This targeted approach reduces water volume requirements, shortens test duration, and enhances safety by minimizing exposure. Whether you're validating new installations or confirming weld integrity, PLUG makes hydro testing faster, safer, and more efficient
Offshore Applications
With over 20 years of experience in the Offshore pipeline operations demand precision, speed, and uncompromising safety—especially when working under pressure in remote environments. The PLUG inline isolation tool is engineered to meet these challenges head-on. Whether you're performing launcher repairs, midline interventions, hydrostatic testing, or valve replacements, PLUG enables localized isolation without full system depressurization. This minimizes downtime, reduces crew exposure, and streamlines coordination across topside and subsea teams. From platform to pipeline, PLUG delivers reliable control in the most demanding offshore conditionsoilfield industry, PLUG has the expertise to handle any project. Our team of professionals is equipped with the latest technology and knowledge to deliver exceptional results.
