In this GATEKEEPER, the philosophy around the materials selection and corrosion monitoring is discussed as the primary design barrier to corrosion and cracking in critical parts of a subsea system.
Artificial lift methods transfer energy to the produced fluid with the objectives of reducing the fluid density and the pressure head or boosting the flowing pressure.
This GATEKEEPER will discuss, at a high level, the decision support tools and methodologies that can be implemented to assist in the delivery of incident free execution of projects through focused risk mitigation in the key process safety impact areas of station keeping and vessel integrity.
In order to avoid potential riser failures or replacement campaigns for anticipated service lives that may extend to 30 years or more, process facility components such as risers and flowline systems must now be subjected to more enhanced integrity monitoring through the whole of their service life.
With offshore oil and gas recovery pushing the limit with deeper and deeper water, it comes as no surprise that the technology regarding risers has evolved to meet the demands of harsher environments.
Subsea Integrity Management is defined as the management of a subsea system or asset to ensure that it delivers the design requirements while not adversely affecting life or the health of the environment throughout the required life of the field
This article compares the common approaches to specifying chemical cleanliness and subsequently presents high-level guidance that can be used to select appropriate quality control criteria for those chemicals deployed through long-distance umbilicals to subsea and sub-surface injection locations
Common pitfalls during cathodic protection (CP) design include electrical continuity, current drain, hydrogen embrittlement of susceptible alloys, anode placement, anode chemistry, and test point placement.
Umbilical functionality is critical to proper operation of subsea production systems, and for this reason it is important to properly select materials and corrosion protection options for this service.
The GATE Integrated Risk Management Team aims to provide solutions that target the challenges associated with offshore and marine project delivery. This includes Station Keeping ,Vessel Integrity, Marine SIMOP's and incident prevention.
Planning for the disposal of equipment, sealing of the well safely, and recycle and reuse purposes must be performed within the regulation authority.
Topsides and substructure decommissioning capabilities.
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.
ElastiPig is a highly malleable, elastomer-solid pig that exerts minimal outwards pressure when transitioning flowlines. It creates 100% surface area contact with the pipe wall, providing excellent sealing capabilities. ElastiPigs are useful when used alone or in combination with mechanical pigs, pipeline gels and/or chemicals.
Decommissioning operations have become highly regulated needs for oil and gas operators. While the rate of execution is fast-paced and schedule dependent, the return on investment lacks value for the operators incurring the economic risks.
Our technical range follows the Umbilical life cycle, starting with initial testing at the manufacturer’s yard, monitoring during installation, and commissioning prior to system start-up, to critical maintenance services for flow assurance remediation and fluid cleanliness, and ending with final decommissioning of the umbilical system.
