Prho™: SCSSV Leak Rate Calculation Tool
The SCSSV Leak Rate Calculation tool uses the GATE Prho™ engine to simulate the commonly used SCSSV leak test protocol. The engine allows the tool to account for the effects of liquid-gas interface existence in the wellbore, wellbore cooldown, wellbore venting, and suspected leakage in the USV during the SCSSV test. This improves the traditional SCSSV leak rate calculation and potentially avoids the false positive of leaked tests.
Hydrostatic and Pneumatic pressure testing is an accepted system integrity assessment practice for all industrial operators. Scopes of work involving pressure testing require system knowledge and competent field execution in order to deliver safe, compliant system function.
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.
We support operators in oil spill drills, and offers a standalone, fit-for-purpose solution. This partnership provides seamless engineering support, which results in efficient, more effective planning and execution of source control and oil spill response activities.
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.
