Nothing like the perfect project (and shot) to wrap up the week! IK Subsea never misses. 🤩    When the client approached the IK Subsea team, they knew it wouldn't be an easy task—and that's exactly why they wanted to be on board. The project involved the repair of a 26-inch conductor in the North Sea, with the connector located approximately 7 meters above sea level.   The issue? A defective connection with compromised structural integrity and sealing function. As you can see, it was situated in a hard-to-reach area, so collaboration with the rope access technicians who installed it was crucial to the project's success. This is the type of challenge that our IK Subsea team thrives on. Complex but never impossible. At least not for them! 😉   Great teamwork, as always, made it all possible. Well done, IK Subsea! #engineering #subsea #oilandgas I Sondre Mikkelsen I Lena Karlsson I Adrian Gamman I

Our expert teams making large-scale transpooling work scopes look easy.   Motive Technicians worked together with HCS in Fife, carrying out transpooling of product from 105 reels onto storage reels for the end client.   For the uninitiated, getting product from Reel A onto Reel B may seem a simple process, but in this case a high level of engineering input was required from the outset to ensure a safe and efficient solution was in place. Consideration around output torques was especially important for handling the high-end steel to avoid any stresses on the product.   Motive supplied a full transpooling package including 75Te Spooling Winches, 5Te Tensioner, Levelwind, and a 5Te Hydraulic Drum Winch, accompanied by a team of 6 multi-disciplined Personnel.   Mark Croll, Lead Equipment Operator (Days) @ Motive Offshore Group   “This transpooling project was a huge success thanks to having an experienced team of Technicians, and the partnership we built with HCS. We developed a great working relationship throughout the course of the job, handling 750 thousand metres of product ranging from 2” down to 12mm, with zero incidents. The commitment and professionalism of everyone involved in such an extensive undertaking made the whole process a safe, efficient and enjoyable experience.”    Stevie Hepburn, Lead Equipment Operator (Nights) @ Motive added:   “This was a considerable project, with multiple steps required for each reel transpool and packaging. It was a lot to get to grips with initially but was a brilliant job to work on. The Motive and HCS teams really came together, setting a solid plan in action and we had things down to a tee.”   #cablehandling #transpooling #renewables #oilgas #decommissioning People. Planet.

Oilfield Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ 🌙 Pile driving .. An operation that requires a lot of patience.. 🎶🌊 This procedure is used to install the piles that will serve as support for the offshore platform, ensuring its stability on the seabed. During driving, the piles are driven into the seabed using specialized equipment, such as: 1. Hydraulic or impact hammers: These repeatedly hit the pile until it reaches the desired depth. 2. Vibrators: These use vibrations to facilitate the penetration of the pile into the ground. 3. Water or air injection (jetting): This helps displace the material from the seabed while the pile is being driven. This process is crucial to ensure that the platform can withstand the forces of wind, waves, and operational load.

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ 🔥 Offshore flares are complex systems that require a network of integrated systems to operate. From the flare header to process staging and smokeless combustion. Flare systems and their associated components (ignition systems, purge arrangements, etc) may, in accordance with the original design intent of the installation, be identified as SECE and have appropriate performance standards. There may be cases where it can be demonstrated that no MAH events can arise from an unlit or inadequately purged flare and, in these cases, the flare system or parts of it would not require to be identified as SECE. For installations with an original design of a lit flare, good practice is continuing to operate the installation with the flare remaining lit. Where autoignition systems are no longer present or provided, suitable arrangements should be in place for monitoring of flare condition, e.g., pilot flame detection, closed circuit television (CCTV) and regular monitoring by the operations team (e.g. control room operators (CRO)), and relighting the flare without undue delay. Where flare extinguishment (flame out) is occurring, records of such events should be reviewed. If records are not kept/retained, then key offshore personnel should be interviewed to obtain information with the aim of identifying any noticeable trends (weather or flow related, any subsequent issues such as gas detection, flare configurations that have/have not experienced this issue, etc.) to provide input to risk reduction measure identification. Each installation should be assessed on its own merit because of the different flare designs, flare configuration and process conditions. Consideration should also be given to where flare ignition systems are installed (pilots, pellet ignition systems, flame front generators, etc.) and how reliable they are.

Unique opportunity in the UK

Hello my team LinkedIn. I hope you're well today. Good, today I would like to share with you my little knowledge about SHAFT ALIGNMENT. Are you surprise 😲? Don't worry, I am maitenance technician too. Let's go. 1- What is shaft alignment ? Shaft alignment is a critical precision procedure that enables two or more machines to be positioned so that their axes of rotation are co-linear at the coupling point under operating conditions. The Objective of shaft alignment is to increase the operating lifespan of rotating machinery 2- Type and the importance of shaft alignment There are two primary types of shaft aligment : #Angular and #parallel Both types can be further categorized into horizontal and vertical alignment. When shafts are misalign, forces are generated in the coupling. Energy will be lost and increased loads will be placed on any mechanical components which provide for rotation, seals, bearing housing etc... So before your aligment, you should do: - About your fondation: concrete weight should be equal to three times machine weight for rotating machines - The base plate should be rigid and machine mounting pads should be level flat and clean - Shims should be large enough to adequately support each foot - Coupling should be installed with a light interference fit with shaft 3- Alignment methods There are a wide variety of methods for measuring alignment, the commen ones are: - Mechanical method with straight edge and feeler gauge - Rim and face method - Reverse dial method or graphic method - Laser alignment (which provides accurate and efficient measurement and is commonly used for precision alignments) 4- Advantages of good alignment *Reduced wear and tear, vibration and noise *Improved efficiency *Lower maintenance cos *Enhanced safety *Optimal performance and energy savings If you want to add something please do it 😊😊😊 I will do next post to talk about #Misalignment #maintenance #alignment #shaft #ProductionAndMaintenance #operator #oilandgas Saipem TotalEnergies Halliburton Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNRL) Eni Petrofac

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ ¡Simultaneous operations time! 🔥🇪🇨 At some point in the life of all oil and gas wells, parts will require maintenance, repair or replacement. At these times, operators turn to intervention specialists. Interventions fall into two general categories: light or heavy. During light interventions, technicians lower tools or sensors into a live well while pressure is contained at the surface. In heavy interventions, the rig crew may stop production at the formation before making major equipment changes. Well service personnel typically perform light interventions using slickline, wireline, or coiled tubing. These systems allow operators to minimize the possibility of potential well blockages. Operators also order light interventions to change or adjust downhole equipment such as valves or pumps, or to gather downhole pressure, temperature, and flow data. Heavy interventions also referred to as workovers, require the rig crew to remove the wellhead and other pressure barriers from the well to allow full access to the wellbore. These operations require a rig to remove and reinstall the wellhead and completion equipment. Typically, heavy interventions are used to replace parts such as tubing strings and pumps that cannot be retrieved through light interventions. Some heavy interventions are performed to plug and abandon an original producing zone to reconfigure the well to produce from a secondary zone; these operations are known as recompletions. - by SLB 💙 Good morning colleagues, what could you add? ⛅.. #oilgas #wellservices #professionalexperiences #engineering #ecuador #petroleumengineer #wellintervention #engineer #work #moments #worksafe #workhard #IADC #IWCF #PetroleumServices
