SGS performs Drilling Equipment Inspection for Maersk Drilling in Australia
(PresseBox) (Geneva, )
On January 12, 2012, SGS was awarded a contract to provide drilling equipment inspection (DEI) for Maersk Drilling in Australia. For the duration of the contract, scheduled for three weeks, the SGS team of experts inspected 400 sections of drill pipe, drill collars and Heavy Weight drill pipe. This process detected defects and discontinuities to ensure the safety and reliability of the drilling equipment in time for rig mobilization in Egypt by early February.
Pipes, rigs, and oilfield tubulars are vulnerable to internal and external corrosion, cracking, third-party damage and manufacturing flaws. To guarantee smooth operations with such expensive equipment and to detect defects and discontinuities in the material, professional drilling equipment inspection is indispensable for companies in the upstream oil sector.
In order to ensure the safety and reliability of the drilling equipment for rig mobilization in Egypt, Maersk Drilling, part of the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group, which is involved in a wide range of activities within the energy, shipbuilding, manufacturing and retail industries, sought a reliable inspection, verification, testing and certification company.
Thanks to its long-term experience and first-rate competence in the oil and gas sector, SGS was selected from a large number of competitors to perform the drilling equipment inspection for 400 sections of drill pipe, drill collars and Hevi Wate drill pipes in Australia.
For the duration of the contract, scheduled from January 12 to early February 2012, SGS's team of experts monitored the condition of the drill pipes for corrosion, pitting, cuts, gouges, wall loss and fatigue cracks as well as ensuring the operational integrity of the equipment in accordance with the latest regulations and standards. Based on its extensive experience in drilling equipment inspection, SGS inspected drill pipes, drill collars and Hevi Wate drill pipes by applying a wide portfolio of testing methods, including magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrate inspection, ultrasonic testing and visual inspection in compliance with T.H.Hill DS-1 Cat 3-5 and T.H.Hill DS-1 Cat 5 standards.
With the help of SGS the drilling equipment was inspected rapidly, in good time for rig mobilization in Egypt and to the full satisfaction of the client. SGS is confident that its range of professional and timely services will build a good foundation for future cooperation with Maersk Drilling.
