Oil and Gas Engineers on Instagram: "Pigging of Pipeline In pipeline transportation, pigging is the practice of using pipeline inspection gauges or gadgets, devices generally referred to as pigs or scrapers, to perform various maintenance operations. This is done without stopping the flow of the product in the pipeline. These operations include but are not limited to cleaning and inspecting the pipeline. This is accomplished by inserting the pig into a “pig launcher” an oversized section in the

Pipeline pigging Types

Pigging in the oil and gas industry is a process where specialized cleaning devices, called pigs, are used to clean, inspect, and maintain pipelines. These pigs are propelled through the pipeline by the fluid being transported, like crude oil or natural gas, to remove debris, scale, wax buildup, and other contaminants. Pigging ensures the integrity, efficiency, and safety of pipelines, which are crucial for transporting hydrocarbons. Purpose of Pigging: Cleaning: Pigging removes contaminants fro
