As anyone implemented Guided wave ultrasonics for wall loss dectection in offshore risers. How effective were the results in reducing uncertainties associated with internal wall loss, and how senstive was the tool performance to subsea conditions at depths of 100ft or more.

Can you rank this technology against intelligent pigging for wall loss detection.

Thanx.
