Jacking System Audit

A Jacking System Audit in an oil drilling rig company is a structured inspection process that assesses the condition, functionality, and safety of the jacking system, which is essential for elevating and stabilizing the rig. The audit focuses on:

For a Jacking System Audit in an Oil Drilling Rig company, here's a detailed outline that you could consider:

1. Pre-Audit Preparation:
   • Audit Scope Definition:
     • Define the objectives: Ensure the audit covers all components of the jacking system such as motors, gears, brakes, and hydraulic systems.
     • Identify relevant regulations (API, ISO, local standards).
     • Define audit checklist and parameters for inspection.
     • Assign audit responsibilities and prepare documentation templates.
   • Data Collection:
     • Gather historical data on the jacking system (maintenance records, failure reports, incident logs).
     • Review system specifications and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) manuals.
2. Onsite Audit:
   • Visual Inspection:
     • Check the physical condition of all jacking system components.
     • Look for visible signs of wear, corrosion, leaks, or damage to critical components such as hydraulic lines, motors, and gears.
   • Operational Testing:
     • Test the functionality of the jacking system under load conditions.
     • Check the integrity of the power supply (electric or hydraulic) and control systems.
     • Verify brake systems and emergency shutoff operations.
     • Monitor noise, vibration, and any anomalies during operation.
   • Gear and Motor Inspection:
     • Inspect the gearboxes for oil levels and signs of metal wear or contamination in the oil.
     • Inspect motors for unusual noise, overheating, and electrical anomalies.
     • Review motor torque and power output as per system requirements.
   • Hydraulic System Check:
     • Inspect hydraulic pumps, lines, and actuators for leaks and pressure anomalies.
     • Verify the condition of hydraulic fluid (correct viscosity and cleanliness).
     • Test the safety relief valves and ensure proper functioning.
   • Structural Inspection:
     • Inspect the rig’s structural integrity where the jacking system is mounted.
     • Review foundation bolts, structural welds, and material fatigue.
3. Documentation and Reporting:
   • Non-conformance Identification:
     • List any deviations from the standard operating procedures or OEM specifications.
     • Identify components that need repair, replacement, or recalibration.
   • Corrective Action Plans (CAPA):
     • Propose corrective actions for identified non-conformances.
     • Assign deadlines and responsible parties for each corrective action.
   • Audit Summary Report:
     • Compile findings into a final report.
     • Include recommendations for regular maintenance, component replacement schedules, and any potential upgrades.
     • Provide a criticality summary indicating the most urgent issues to address.
4. Post-Audit Follow-up:
   • Review the implementation of corrective actions.
     • Verify that all critical systems have been repaired and are operational.
   • Performance and KPI Tracking:
     • Track the key performance indicators (KPI) post-audit to assess the long-term reliability of the jacking system.
     • Monitor for any recurring issues or degradation over time.
