Project Experiences & Successes
Injection of Flue Gases Study
Led study for independent oil and gas operator regarding the injection of flue gases from Gulf coast power plants to a Deepwater development for the purposes of enhanced oil recovery (EOR). This considered pretreatment and processing requirements for flue gases from natural gas-fired boiler plants, natural gas combined cycle plants, coal-fired boiler plants and integrated gasification combined cycle plants. Key issues considered were the ability of the pretreatment system to remove oxygen and water.
Caribbean LNG Operator Calls For Connection Integrity Management Verification
An operator of a Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) offshore loading facility required mechanical torque value verification on multiple structural assemblies in order to abide by the manufacturer’s recommended specifications and standards.
LNG Operator Demands Integrated Industrial Solutions For Plant StartUp
An operator of an onshore Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) micro fuel facility sought integrated solutions from a single source contractor. Ongoing activities with multiple construction groups were working compressed schedules in order to ready the facility for a re-purposed product. Direct technical commissioning support became an value target during the early phase of project execution, as pressure testing and torque value verification for 600+ connection joints demanded specific expertise.
Barge Pre-Commissioning
Integrated mechanical and pipeline services provide bundled solutions for independent GoM operator.
Gas Storage
A large North American midstream company operating a gas storage facility required connection integrity management for a planned casing reroute. Due to damaged casing as a result of salt fall within the cavern, the said operator required a large Snubbing stack installation to handle the cavern pressure and capable of cutting 10 3/4” casing.
Global, Comprehensive Materials, Corrosion & Integrity Support
A client operating domestically and internationally needed expert technical support for materials and corrosion control. Their senior management came to Viking for a proposal to provide a variety of consultancy services to cover the following essential needs: materials selection, failure analysis, corrosion monitoring, technical assurance for procurement, and risk assessment.
6-Inch Re-Assessment
A midstream company operating a high pressure gas pipeline required assessment services in order to maintain regulatory compliance. The said pipeline asset was considered unpiggable for ILI technology. In order to comply with regulatory guidelines for an MAOP verification, the company demanded a hydrostatic pressure test assessment.
Deepwater Flowline Dewater/Dry with High Pressure Nitrogen
An established operator in the Gulf of Mexico, through their preferred contractor, requested BlueFin to perform the dewatering of the flowlines for their two new tiebacks to an existing deepwater facility.
Pneumatic Pressure Test On Air Cooled Condenser (ACC) System
BlueFin Model A manifold systems are designed for high pressure, multiple line flushing and pressure testing.
Permian Operator Receives Integrated Expertise For Gathering System Commissioning
Planning and project management across a single source provide bundled solutions that deliver cost effective and schedule sensitive services for three separate Central Gathering Facilities (CGF’s) on an expedited timeline for first oil.
