Subsea Integrity Management
Chess Subsea Asset Integrity Management (AIM) offer cost effective, integrated and practical solutions reflecting the need for predictability and minimal interruption to production.
More and more fields are being developed and field life extended by use of subsea production systems, pumping and compression solutions. This poses a new set of challenges to the operator based on the expense and difficulty of getting access to the equipment, and different failure modes. At Chess subsea, we understand that integrity management is a function of the entire subsea field life cycle.
Combining our years of experience in maintenance and inspection (MI) engineering with our design and installation expertise in subsea production systems, Chess Subsea offers MI consultancy to the subsea operator, covering:
- Development of maintenance, inspection, operation, monitoring philosophies and strategies.
- Criticality assessments for equipment, systems and special tools.
- Reliability centered maintenance assessment, leading to preventive (typically ROV exercising, CP-measurement, inspection and remote testing) and corrective maintenance plans, and condition based solutions for wellheads, valves, control modules, subsea transformers, pumps, compressors, heat exchangers, piping, pipelines and more, also their topsides power, control and operating systems.
- Risk based inspection assessments leading to ROV-inspection plans for piping, equipment and structures, also pipelines, umbilicals and risers.
- Practical maintenance and inspection plans, collected and job-packed, with work instructions, drawings and report formats.
- Assessment of fitness-for-service for damaged and corroded equipment, systems and structures, and assessment of potential for lifetime extension for these.
- Project management of all the above.
The maintenance and inspection plans can be started at FEED phase, to ensure that all relevant failure modes are considered . We also offer assessment and follow-up of all condition monitoring, maintenance and inspection findings, with reporting and advice to operators on what actions should be taken to maintain integrity
