Poly welded annulus test head systems and methods

A method of deploying a test head assembly at a pipe segment to facilitate determining integrity of the pipe segment, comprising:

• plastic welding barrier material of an inner barrier layer of the pipe segment, an outer barrier layer of the pipe segment, or both to facilitate sealing an open end of free space defined within a tubing annulus of the pipe segment from environmental conditions external to tubing of the pipe segment, wherein plastic welding barrier material of the pipe segment comprises plastic welding a barrier material ring to the inner barrier layer of the pipe segment, plastic welding the barrier material ring to the outer barrier layer of the pipe segment, or both;
• fluidly connecting a fluid port to the free space defined within the tubing annulus of the pipe segment to enable integrity of the pipe segment to be tested at least in part by flowing a test fluid into the free space defined in the tubing annulus of the pipe segment via the fluid port, extracting fluid from the free space defined in the tubing annulus of the pipe segment via the fluid port, or both;
• wrapping a strap around the pipe segment;
• and
• securing the strap to a pad eye that is embedded within the barrier material ring to facilitate securing the barrier material ring to the pipe segment.

A test head assembly, comprising:

• barrier material implemented at least in part by plastic welding an inner barrier layer of a pipe segment, an outer barrier layer of the pipe segment, or both, wherein the barrier material is configured to facilitate sealing an open end of free space defined within a tubing annulus of the pipe segment;
• a fluid port configured to be fluidly connected to the free space defined within the tubing annulus of the pipe segment to enable integrity of the pipe segment to be tested at least in part by flowing a test fluid into the free space defined within the tubing annulus of the pipe segment via the fluid port, extracting fluid from the free space defined within the tubing annulus of the pipe segment via the fluid port, or both;
• and
• a clamp configured to secure the fluid port directly over an opening formed through the outer barrier layer of the pipe segment to facilitate fluidly connecting the fluid port to the free space defined within the tubing annulus of the pipe segment.
