Rig Acceptance and Capability Surveys
Defined as comprehensive assessments by way of a detailed evaluation of equipment and systems. This inspection will cover an in-depth survey of the state of maintenance of the rig. It includes an inspection of all safety critical elements of the installation and all equipment that could be anticipated to cause operational downtime when a mechanical failure of that equipment occurs.
The inspection includes, but is not limited to, the opening of critical equipment for verification that the equipment has been kept in a safe and reliable working condition and includes all major items of equipment to ensure a detailed examination of gear teeth, bearings, chains and ancillary parts for excessive wear, damage, cracks and other defects and for the measurements of clearances.
Rig Acceptance Surveys
Our detailed independent Rig Acceptance Surveys assess a rig's condition and capability to meet your contract specification and operate within the envelope of your performance criteria.
Applying the same parameters as used in our Rig Condition Surveys, then augmenting them with specific operational testing and integrity verification, we ensure the rig,
its equipment (or certain defined equipment) and systems comply to all current and applicable International industry standards.
The analysis of equipment condition and standards of maintenance is always in accordance with API & IADC standards and includes the equipment manufacturer's specifications and recommendations.
TYPICAL WORKSCOPES INCLUDE RIG CONDITION SURVEY
Function testing, pressure testing, load testing and insulation resistance checks for all critical equipment (pressure lines included) of the unit.
Structural inspection as well as Drilling string and Bottom Hole Assembly inspections are carried out only visually unless agreed upon by the parties.
Verification of compliance with ISO/API International Standards, Oilfield good practices and other recognized international code of practice.
Verification of compliance with OPERATORS minimum acceptance standard (i.e. Well Control Policy, BOP and Tubular requirements) and technical Rig Contract specifications (Personnel Qualification requirements included).
