Surveys & Assessments
RIS undertakes extensive surveys and inspections, and then recommends measures to remediate any apparent defects observed.
Rig Acceptance & Safety Surveys
- Testing of equipment including the protective safety devices and safety systems
- Reviewing of certification, ensuring conformance on critical well control and drilling equipment
- Reviewing of NDT reports and lifting databases
- Reviewing of maintenance on critical equipment
- Evaluating the condition of selected equipment
- Reviewing of past audits and updates on status of action items
The scope of these surveys is tailored towards our clients requirements and these surveys also provide assurance that the rig's equipment is fit for purpose.
Rig Condition Surveys
This is a comprehensive reliability assessment of the following:
- Drilling equipment
- Electrical generation & distribution
- Cranes & Hoisting Systems
- Main & Auxiliary equipment
- Mud systems
- Well control equipment
- Marine and Safety equipment
- Maintenance task compliancy
- Asset management and budget planning
Pre-Shipyard Evaluation Surveys
Pre-shipyard evaluations are carried out to assist asset owner(s) in determining their exact requirements for shipyard or out-of-service periods. Such evaluations comprise of the following:
- Pre-dry dock inspections for a definitive shipyard work scope
- Compiling of accurate project work scope based upon allocated timeline and budget
- Long term planning for asset management
- Forecasting for long lead time equipment and parts
Commissioning & Project Engineering
- Commissioning of new build or upgrades of all types onshore and offshore drilling rigs
- Endurance and Performance testing of equipment
- Supervising or assisting in project engineering support RIS has completed several successful projects for MODUs that are now operating under a safety case regime in Australian waters.
Equipment Condition Evaluation
- Analysing and verifying of internal clearances, rotating equipment parameters and machinery alignment
- Prioritising of unit/equipment for overhaul
Subsea & Surface Well Control Equipment
This services includes the examination and analysis of critical well control equipment as well as identifying, assessing and developing control measures to mitigate the risks of hazardous situations and business interruptions. The following are covered during such an assessment:
- 1st to 6th Generation well control systems
- Hydraulic and Mux control systems
- Wireline/Inline tensioning and RAR systems
- Compensating systems – CMC, AHC & DSC
- Marine Riser Inspection and verification
- Choke and Kill Systems
QA Services & Project Coordination
- Validation services
- Verification services
- Coordination of shipyard or out of service periods for onshore and offshore installations.
We provide a comprehensive report package including data sheets for the equipment inspected.
We believe document control is essential when dealing with raw data and information from surveys and inspections in order to maintain a high level of accuracy and detail. We use a customized software package known as Rig Survey Manager (RSM), which efficiently compiles all of the surveyors input to create, edit and produce reports within the shortest amount of time. This allows clients to keep permanent records on the status of equipment for future benchmarking and trend analysis purposes. This also ensures that clients receive reports in the shortest possible time after inspection, and also that the standard of our reports is of the highest quality.
