LONDON-- Nigeria's military has alleged that a leak discovered on a pipeline operated by Royal Dutch Shell PLC's (RDSA) Nigerian unit was caused by corrosion.
Oil spills are a common occurrence in Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta and have caused significant environmental damage. However, they are most commonly blamed on thieves who tap into pipelines to siphon off oil.
Even in the largest industries in the world the component parts of transporting need to be tested and this opens up potential opportunities for test chambers.
This industry sector offers the potential for sales world-wide. The Siberian Pipelines has been in the development and protection of their pipelines due to the poor state of the pipes themselves and have invested heavily over the past 5 years in Inspection Instruments.
In Venezuela, PDVSA are always looking to update their testing facilities and are users of corrosion test chambers.
Check your own countries pipeline industry and ensure that they do not have the same situation that has happened in Nigeria with Shell.

Ascott at the Latin America Coatings Show, Mexico City.
The Latin American Expo Paints and Inks (Latin American Coatings Show) remains as one of the leading events for raw materials suppliers and equipment manufacturers for the industry of paints and printing inks. Investment in the region has increased at a faster rate than expected in view of the global economic downturn.
Expenditure on machinery, equipment and construction has played a major role in the recovery of the region, with this becoming a continuing trend.
Ascott Analytical, in partnership with our Mexican distributor Comintec, exhibited at this year’s show resulting in greater awareness of the Ascott products in Latin America.
With an increasing number of visitors both at the show and via our website, Ascott is now establishing itself as a recognisable brand in the region, enabling foreseeable future growth within the main industry sectors of automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, paint and many other industrial sectors.
