Annual maintenance time and cost at Norway’s 3 main gas export plants has been reduced from 50-80% thanks to pre and post robotic inspection. Better cameras and 3D modelling also help during unplanned outages at the Gassco plants. Norway is Europe’s #2 gas exporter after Russia, piping 114.2 bcm of gas to Europe in 2018.
