BOGOTA, Colombia – For the second time, OCENSA, the hydrocarbon transporter with the most extensive linear infrastructure in Colombia, has awarded ROSEN Group in the Technology and Innovation category at the Supply Award 2023.
This prestigious award highlights ROSEN’s outstanding contribution to the implementation of innovative technologies for pipeline integrity management. The innovation presented by ROSEN specifically addresses the identification of circumferential cracks in pipelines caused by external factors, such as underwater currents and ground movement. This solution has emerged in response to the need to manage threats to the integrity of OCENSA’s hydrocarbon transportation system.
For over two decades, OCENSA has relied on ROSEN as its strategic partner in integrity. Throughout this collaboration, both companies have worked on various projects ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the pipeline.
Leonardo Mendoza, ROSEN South America’s Director of Execution, emphasized the strategic vision behind implementing crack detection technology using angular ultrasound: “This technology was incorporated into instrumented tools for in-line inspection, developing a customized bidirectional design that considers the unique characteristics of OCENSAs’ underwater pipeline.
“This has been possible thanks to our innovative culture that constantly challenges us to think outside the box, develop our technical expertise, and understand the needs of our clients and the market. Thank you, OCENSA, for this recognition of the entire ROSEN team.”
The recognized innovation has had a positive impact on OCENSA by reducing costs, improving defect detection, maintaining cost-effectiveness and contributing to the protection of the environment as well as of people.
OCENSA’s goal with the Supply Award 2023: On this occasion, OCENSA recognizes and celebrates the outstanding contribution of its allies to sustainability, value generation with stakeholders and organizational adaptation.
