Rig Inspection, Acceptance Software OCS has acknowledged that Digital Technology will be the way in which future inspections and maintenance activities will be conducted due to their increased efficiency and cost reduction. BY doing so OCS has introduced the first standardized approach to rig inspections aiding in better data analysis so that recurring problems can be identified and company or asset maintenance strategies improved.
- 1. Provide an Industry Standardized Platform for Rig Inspections.
- 2. Standardize Inspections for consistency and asset industry comparison for integrity & condition
- 3. Detailed Inspection analysis identifying areas of weakness of an asset
- 4. Provide an Asset Integrity Score and compare to Industry Standards (this can only be accomplished using a Standardized inspection process)
- 5. Prioritize Inspections criteria to Client Requirements, how many times do items on lower important get inspected leaving critical items not inspected, i.e. (Inspection must include critical inspection items first, then good to do, then other items if time permitting
- 6. Customize own inspection list and items to be inspected as per company policy.
- 7. Improve inspections over time. Improve inspection requirements and customize a company inspection requirements with
GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The Inspection Check List has been generated over many years of experience in rig inspections and also rig knowledge such as rig commissioning and incident investigations. Where a question is asked, there is an Industry Standard referenced for that requirement, this may be API, IEC, DR OP’s, OEM, Company Requirement, or another standard. Due to the possible number of inspection items, it is usually not possible to inspect every item listed unless a client allows additional and substantial time to inspect the rig thoroughly. For this reason, the software has several filters available to select a designed list or to customize an inspection list. This then can be tailored to a client requirement, or a designated zone e.g. North Sea, Norway, USA, or other countries’ Government Inspectorate Requirements. This can then be modified as more Inspections are completed to improve the process. It is recommended an inspection review be made to identify inspect
Customization Additional questions can be added as seen necessary by a company, this may be due to their experience such as equipment failure history, maintenance requirements or due to a general alert raised by industry or for any other reason.
Continuous Improvement The process of customization can capture lessons learned for the reasons stated above and these items shall be permanently captured so they are not missed again, how many times have lessons learned never been carried over to other projects / Inspections, there can never be a continuous improvement process if not captured.
