Utilizing the latest Optical Gas Imaging (QOGI) cameras, we provide comprehensive leak surveys that detect leak sources and quantify leak volumes in real time. This data can be transmitted to clients’ cloud storage via Wi-Fi.
Our state-of-the-art equipment ensures efficient inspection of thousands of connections and fittings, enabling the detection of even the smallest leaks without the extensive downtime associated with traditional methods. As pioneers in OGI technology in Africa, we quickly and safely detect, visualize, and locate hard-to-reach and hazardous gas leaks. By making the invisible visible, we minimize costly downtime, revenue losses, and environmental impact.
Osten has partnered with Workswell, an OGI manufacturer, to enhance our LDAR services through unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Our aerial OGI technology allows us to safely and efficiently detect over 400 gases and can scan large facilities, identifying fugitive emissions of greenhouse gases and other volatile organic compounds in a fraction of the time required by handheld devices. This innovation significantly improves safety and inspection efficiency, especially when scanning flare stacks, hazardous areas, and instruments at height.
At Osten Laboratory, we offer a complete suite of LDAR services to meet our client’s diverse needs:
We collaborate with operators to develop robust LDAR programs, including strategies for leak detection, repair, data recording, and compliance with regulations and industry standards.
Our specialists employ advanced technologies to identify leaks across oil and gas assets, pipelines, storage tanks, and other critical infrastructure. We conduct thorough inspections to ensure accurate detection and timely repairs
We assist operators in maintaining comprehensive records of leak detection and repair activities, ensuring compliance with regulations and standards. Our processes ensure data integrity and regulatory adherence.
We offer training programs to develop in-house capacity for LDAR and provide sales services for OGI cameras and UAV solutions
Most standards require an initial repair within five days of leak detection and a full repair within 15 days. Leaks not fixed within this timeframe must be added to the “Delay of Repair“ list for the next shutdown phase. Osten employs technologies like Furmanite, bolt torquing, tensioning, and composite wrapping to repair leaks in-line, enabling effective repairs without system shutdown and minimizing operational disruption
At Osten Laboratory, we offer a complete suite of LDAR services to meet our client’s diverse needs:
With over 150 countries implementing national methane action plans, compliance with LDAR regulations is more critical than ever. In Nigeria, the NUPRC Guide 0024 – 2022 mandates operators to carryout LDAR survey half yearly with the use of optical gas imaging instruments or other approve technology.
Studies indicate that operators can lose between 0.05% and 2% of gas production to leaks. Early detection allows timely repairs, minimizing costs related to lost products, environmental penalties, and unplanned shutdowns.
LDAR systems significantly reduce the risk of accidents, such as explosions and fires, contributing to a safer working environment in the oil and gas sector.
Continuous monitoring and periodic inspections of at-risk areas are vital for maintaining asset integrity in the oil and gas industry. Our OGI technology provides essential remote leak analysis for effective emergency response.
Osten is dedicated to being the trusted partner of choice for oil and gas operators in Africa. By leveraging our expertise in advanced leak detection technologies and maintaining a strong focus on safety and environmental protection, we empower our clients to operate confidently, reduce costs, and comply with evolving regulatory requirements.
