Operations Readiness systems developed late in a project and in silos can’t reach the potential of becoming the powerful tools that they were developed to be.

The main difference between the GATE Stream-Based HAZOP and a typical HAZOP is that we define nodes based on ‘streams’.

Viking uses an innovative phased approach. High level SOPs are developed early based on the PFDs. These are then matured to mid-level and finally to detailed procedures as the project matures.

We have a broad knowledge in generating plans for the initial startup of wells, subsea tie-backs and new platforms.

The GATE Commissioning team brings their extensive offshore oil and gas commissioning experience to the onshore sector.

GATE Subsea IHUC activities include the pigging, testing, hook-up (static / dynamic) and commissioning of flowline / riser and controls systems from topsides to shore. As such, IHUC activities have multiple complex engineering, scheduling, ownership and scope interfaces between Well Engineering, Topsides and Subsea Facilities Design and the Operator.

GATE has expertise in facility design, planning and execution of commissioning and start-up operations, as well as being able to provide on-site technical support during well unloading and commissioning activities. This enables a rapid response capability to unexpected events and the ability to transfer learnings to our clients.

BlueFin maintains the mechanical assets required for the majority of operator’s filtration needs. From offshore pipeline abandonments and produced overboard water compliance, to onshore hydrotest water treatment and fluid handling, our team understands the full lifecycle approach to these scopes.

This industry requirement demands both expertise in trained, accomplished personnel and best in class filtration equipment. BlueFin’s filtration units are capable of high volume and/or low volume filtration and is designed to mitigate particle contamination.

Our Pneumatic Leak Testing services extend to commissioning, product evacuation, maintenance shutdown, leak testing, and general pigging operations.

Hydrostatic pressure testing remains an industry standard pre-commissioning and commissioning practice that is a heavily regulated requirement for all branches of the oil and gas industry.

We provide precision alignment and leveling that assures the operator’s critical component downtime and unnecessary wear is minimized and that unwarranted risks are mitigated.

BlueFin’s tenure and expertise in controlled bolting and joint integrity measures and monitors bolt relaxation, gasket creep, direct load loss, friction variable reduction, and direct axial force.

For cases where safe and complete omission from flames are essential, cold cutting applications deliver safe, reliable results.

Inline isolation tools advance safe construction tasks related to welder safety, pressure testing, and weld seam integrity testing.

BlueFin personnel are trained in particulate counting standards such as NAS 1638, ISO 4406 and SAE 4059 rev. D and E.
