AI Technical Summary
Conventional maintenance and inspection techniques for conduits are costly and time-consuming, leading to production losses and potential conduit outages due to the need for piercing and resealing orifices for probe insertion and characterization.
A multi-functional apparatus with an annular frame, sealing layer, and process cartridges for piercing, probing, and closing orifices using laser-based methods, enabling in-situ fluid characterization and immediate sealing without disrupting production.
Reduces operation costs and time by allowing rapid characterization of fluid properties and flow within conduits while minimizing disruption, ensuring quick and effective maintenance.
