Sensorlink, a leading provider of corrosion management solutions to the oil and gas industry, announced that it has entered into an agent agreement with Kentron Systems Inc. in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Kentron Systems will sell and distribute Sensorlink’s products for corrosion monitoring of pipelines and processing plants throughout Canada. Kentron is the first agent that Sensorlink has appointed to sell its products overseas.

“We are very happy to enter into this agreement with Kentron Systems in Canada. It is well established, and has a good reputation in Canada, which is a market that we feel offers a large potential for pipeline corrosion and erosion monitoring,” said Kenneth Jekteberg, Managing Director of Sensorlink. “Currently Sensorlink’s products are being used throughout the North Sea. This agency appointment is part of a strategic plan to achieve greater market penetration both onshore and subsea,” he added.

Corrosion Monitoring Plays Vital Role in Verifying Pipeline Integrity

Industry-wide regulations stipulate that operators must comply with the increased demand for transportation of oil and gas in a safe and environmentally sound manner. As a result, pipeline operators are required to verify the integrity of their pipelines at all times. A corrosion monitoring system can play a vital role in a pipeline integrity management program by providing detailed and reliable information on pipeline status.

“Sensorlink’s products will blend nicely with the rest of our portfolio within instrumentation products for the oil and gas industry,” said Joe Schuler, President of Kentron. “This gives us the opportunity to better assist our clients in meeting their requirements for control of asset integrity and for cost- effective pipeline operations,” he added.

The Gjøa field is due for start-up during 2010. The flexible riser (rough bore) used in connection with floating production platforms can cause vibration in the pipelines subsea and in the platforms’ piping system. Sensorlink delivered a complete measurement system to Gjøa for verification of the size of such vibrations.

July 2009 Sensorlink delivered the first part of the measurement system. Sensors were installed at several locations on the subsea structure of the Gjøa field and a cable was laid to the connection point. For the second half of the delivery, started in September 2009, the company delivered the data collection and communication solutions.

Among other things the measurement system is used to establish the relation between vibration and the production from the facility in question. This will ensure that the production equipment is not exposed to vibration levels beyond their tolerance specifications.
