NEW PETRO PRODUCTS: Information package highlights deepwater pre-commissioning
Deepwater pre-commissioning services highlight a free information package. The services feature the Denizen Remote Subsea Flooding and Testing Unit. They are cited to require fewer resources, pose less risk, and take less time. With them there is said to be "no more coiled tubing or flexible hose . . . no more expensive weather delays."
Patented SPCS subsea pipeline commissioning system and service is cited as an alternative to deeper water, conventional pre-commissioning -- with large pipe-laying vessels or dynamically positioned II support vessels and correspondingly big crews -- with the risk and complication of coiled-tubing or flexible hose down line.
Using a ROV system that mechanically displaces or introduces pipeline fluids -- this group's fully remote SPCS system performs hydrostatic testing and dewatering for infield and transportation pipeline systems in up to 10,000 ft (3,000 m) depths.
The surface team submerges this company's patented Denizen ROV-based SPCS unit and engages it with the flowline. Once engaged, the unit functions as a full-service testing and data recording tool. It introduces fields, performing hydrostatic testing and dewatering.
Such critical parameters as pressure, temperature, and flow are transmitted in real time to a small support vessel through the ROV's umbilical. There it can be recorded subsea solid state, or visually observed via light-activated display.
The information package declares the service to cut vessel and crew expenditures, reduce mobilization cost and complexity, improve operating safety position, minimize temperature stabilization durations, and reduce overall commissioning cost.
