Technical Inspection of Damaged Equipment in the Oil and Gas Industry and the Role of Modern Technologies
Due to the high‑risk nature of the oil and gas industry, the technical inspection of equipment is one of the most critical activities for maintaining safety, reducing production downtime, and preventing industrial accidents. Equipment used in this industry—including pipelines, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, offshore platforms, and turbines—is exposed to harsh operating conditions such as high pressure, fluctuating temperatures, corrosive environments, vibration, and mechanical impacts. As a result, damage, cracking, corrosion, wear, and deformation are common occurrences and require accurate and
