RIG INSPECTION

It is our objective to deliver a comprehensive reliability assessment and give an accurate insight into the state of maintenance and working condition of the rig by a detailed evaluation of equipment and systems, providing an assurance that the rig’s equipment is fit for purpose.  Condition evaluations can help prevent potentially costly system failures, indicate areas where there is a need for improvement and give a good indication on the current operability status of a rig.

The areas of our assessment are also focused and pay particular attention to all Safety and Environmentally Critical Elements and all equipment that could be expected to cause operational downtime in the event of failure.  Deficiencies within the maintenance system can be identified and safety critical issues will be highlighted.

The areas of our assessment during oil rig inspection may include, but are not limited to:
–  Drilling Equipment
–  Well Control Equipment
–  Electrical Equipment
–  Jacking System
–  Engine Room Equipment
–  Safety Equipment
–  Barge Equipment

Our inspectors can carry out Rig condition survey, Pre-hire audit,  API 4G Cat III and Cat IV Inspections or any other specific audit according to clients’ requirements.

In addition, we have developed our own in-house auditing format. The format is designed on individual system groups; detailed checklists are followed, which have been developed through our extensive auditing experience. The checklists provide both standardization of the audit process and produces user friendly results of defects for action and tracking.  Our focus on the work scope helps to reduce the amount of time required on site resulting real cost savings to our valued clients.

The results of each individual system and overall rig survey can be easily charted.  In this way, direct comparisons can be made for each rig or vessel inspected and trends identified.

The following areas are covered during CAT 3 inspection and CAT 4 inspection:
