Analyst Viewpoint: Key Drivers and Opportunities

1. Pipeline Corrosion Control

Corrosion remains a significant challenge in the oil & gas sector, leading to revenue loss, environmental damage, and safety risks. Intelligent pigging solutions play a crucial role in detecting, measuring, and mitigating corrosion defects, helping reduce downtime and maintenance costs while enhancing pipeline safety.

2. Rising Oil & Gas Investments

Growing energy demand and the emphasis on energy security are driving investments in oil & gas infrastructure. For instance, Vedanta announced a US$ 4 billion investment in early 2024 to double oil & gas production capacity. This trend boosts demand for intelligent pigging services to ensure the integrity of these investments.

Market Introduction: Intelligent Pigging Technologies

Intelligent pigging is a non-destructive testing (NDT) method used for pipeline inspection in the oil & gas industry. It involves deploying inspection tools ("pigs") within pipelines to assess their condition and identify defects. Key technologies include:

• Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL): Detects corrosion, pitting, and wall loss in steel pipelines by measuring flux leakage caused by cross-sectional area reductions.

• Ultrasonic Pigging: Uses high-frequency ultrasonic signals to inspect pipeline integrity. It provides precise data on wall thickness and detects internal/external flaws.

• Caliper Pigging: Utilizes mechanical arms to measure pipeline geometry, detecting changes in diameter that indicate potential damage or wear.

Recent Trends in Intelligent Pigging

Emerging trends include the integration of System-on-Module (SoM) technology into smart pigging tools. These systems enable remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, offering a more efficient approach to pipeline management. Additionally, next-generation hybrid pigs combine the simplicity of cleaning pigs with advanced inspection capabilities.

Regional Outlook: Asia Pacific Leads the Market

In 2023, Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the intelligent pigging service market. This dominance is attributed to significant investments in oil & gas exploration and infrastructure development. For instance:

• India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and other public sector undertakings are investing over US$ 143.6 billion in FY 2024-2025 to enhance exploration activities, build refineries, and lay pipelines.

Other regions, including North America and Europe, are witnessing growth due to rising investments in pipeline integrity management, particularly in aging pipeline networks.
