SLB AND ENI ANNOUNCE ALLIANCE FOR VIBROACOUSTIC PIPELINE INTEGRITY MONITORING AND ANALYSIS

SLB and Eni, through its subsidiary Enivibes, have announced an alliance to deploy e-vpms^® (Eni Vibroacoustic Pipeline Monitoring System) technology.

Enivibes will bring the new proprietary pipeline integrity technology to the global market through SLB’s industry-leading digital expertise and operations in more than 100 countries. The e-vpms technology can be retrofitted to any pipeline, regardless of age, providing immediate integrity data essential for maintaining a network’s continually reliable operation.

The alliance covers the deployment of e-vpms^® technology for pipelines transporting liquid hydrocarbons and produced water and enables the detection of product loss attributable to external events such as attempted product theft or accidental impact, corrosion-related leak events, and land movement events caused by earthquakes or landslides.

“The e-vpms technology will equip operators with the ability to extract real-time data from even their oldest assets,” said Ziad Jeha, business line director, Midstream Production Systems, SLB. “Operators will be able to receive reliable and specific real-time information, allowing for focused and timely responses, especially in instances of an environmental nature.”
