Teledyne will use its presence at the ONS 2024 exhibition to showcase the company’s latest solutions for the oil, gas and energy sectors.
Taking in place in Stavanger, Norway on 26-29 August, this leading biennial exhibition and conference will see Teledyne Gas & Flame Detection (Teledyne GFD), Teledyne FLIR and Teledyne Marine display numerous innovations on their shared stand that take safety to new levels in these potentially hazardous industries. Teledyne will also introduce advanced emission monitoring solutions to meet the latest legislative requirements and deliver effective LDAR solutions.
By exhibiting jointly under the Teledyne name, the company mantra of “everywhereyoulook” will resonate more than ever with visitors via the extensive range of technologies available on the same stand. Whether it is Teledyne GFD’s fixed and portable gas and flame detection solutions, Teledyne FLIR’s thermal imaging cameras, or instruments from Teledyne Marine that monitor and explore everything beneath the ocean surface – Stand 1063 in Hall 10 will have it all.
Teledyne GFD
Oil and gas companies constantly scrutinise new technologies that reduce the risks to personnel, property or the environment. At ONS 2024, a broad spread of Teledyne GFD portable and fixed detectors will take centre stage, with the latter providing a particular focus area. The GD1 hydrogen sulphide (H2S) open-path laser detector, for example, offers high performance while overcoming the obstacles provided by challenging offshore environmental effects that include sun, rain and fog. This popular device provides fail-safe, rapid responses in up to 98% obscuration.
Offering another attractive option for visitors to the booth will be the GD10P infrared gas detector, which houses features that provide an effective response to the detection of gas hazards in high demand mode SIL2-approved applications. Product differentiation arrives courtesy of the GD10P’s silicon-based solid-state infrared source. Long service life and robust detector stability help users reduce maintenance and service costs.
A further innovation on the stand will be the recently introduced Spyglass™ flame detector. The product’s integrated high-definition CCTV video delivers clear, rapid imaging of fires. Colour video detects fuel fires like gasoline and jet fuel, while the near-infrared video option detects fires caused by other fuels such as hydrogen and methanol.
Teledyne FLIR
On the same stand, FLIR a Teledyne technologies company will demonstrate its prowess in helping oil and gas inspectors, managers, and technicians deliver quick thermal imaging solutions to problems that include leak detection and maintaining system integrity. Highlights at ONS 2024 are set to include the G-Series cameras, designed to detect hydrocarbons, methane (CH₄) and other Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from multiple stages of the oil and gas supply chain, as well as other industrial markets.
Under the new EU Methane Regulation, which aims to reduce methane emissions in the energy sector, companies are now required to quantify methane emissions at both the source and site levels. The G-Series range features advanced gas quantification analytics within the camera itself, capable of measuring leak type and severity, ensuring compliance with the new regulation.
Elsewhere on the booth will be the advanced QL320, a quantitative optical gas imaging system for measuring the leak rate of methane and other hydrocarbon emissions captured by FLIR OGI cameras. By adopting the QL320, users no longer require a toxic vapor analyser or similar tool for secondary sampling.
Teledyne Marine
Teledyne Marine provides offshore energy equipment for reliable operation in oil fields and wind farms. Although offering a vast plethora of solutions, the focus at ONS 2024 will be subsea distribution units and downhole optical connectors.
The Modular Connectorized Distribution Unit (MCDU), for instance, is a factory-qualified subsea distribution unit that provides oil-filled, pressure-balanced junctions for flexible underwater configurations. ROVs (remote operated vehicles) can easily install and retrieve the unit from the sea floor thanks to the latest compact-frame design which eliminates the requirement for lifting wires.
A further product focus from Teledyne Marine will be the Optical Feedthrough System (OFS). This downhole, ‘wet mateable’ optical connector is for high-pressure/high-temperature environments within a vertical Xmas tree (VXT) valve stack on a subsea wellhead. Providing pressure integrity barriers and optical continuity, the OFS on display will measure 2” (50mm) in diameter and 12” (300mm) long. An associated display screen will show an animation of its operation.
Teledyne experts will be present throughout ONS 2024, ready to discuss the optimal solutions for new projects or existing challenges.
