1. INTRODUCTION

Offshore Construction Specialists (OCS) was formed in 2007 from a core group of marine
construction engineers to provide construction management, engineering and strategic support
equipment services primarily to the offshore oil and gas sector.

Our key personnel come from previous careers at the multinational marine construction company
McDermott working in the marine operations department on projects covering every sphere of the
industry. Our managing and technical director Mr Keith Jackson worked for 17 years in the group
the last 5 years as the marine division manager.

As a matter of policy under Mr Jackson J.Ray McDermott would execute work peripheral to that
being undertaken by the major work vessel (normally executed using third party subcontractors)
using in-house resources. Pipeline pre-commissioning, pre and post trenching, flexible flowline /
umbilical lay are examples of work that was routinely carried out in-house and not subcontracted.
One of the main reasons for doing this was that it prevented the activities of the subcontractor
impinging on the work of the high cost marine spread. The work was always planned with
maximum operational synergy in mind

In JRM large pipeline pre-commissioning projects such as the 650 km West Natuna gas
gathering pipeline network and many other major projects were planned and executed in-house.

OCS has taken the model developed in JRM and applied it to our own activities. Our equipment
is managed and operated by people who come from the same background as the main marine
contractor. We help the marine contractor plan the work such that the pre-commissioning has
the least possible impact on operations. We are proactive in highlighting potential issues and
ensuring both parties win. Our engineering capabilities are very sophisticated and significantly
more advanced than our competitors.

OCS has now completed a range of pre-commissioning projects for many different customers
with great success. OCS has been certified by Nata for pipeline hydrotesting since 2013. The
OCS organisation as a whole has also been qualified to IS0 9001 since 2009.

In 2014 the company purchased premises at 36 Kian Teck Road in the Pioneer district of
Singapore and we have established it as a base for our engineering and subcontract activities.
The office and workshop serve as a base from which to plan and execute projects. The
workshop has a dedicated instrument room where all calibrated instruments are maintained and
the workshop facilities ensure that OCS mechanical equipment can be well serviced and
maintained to high standards. The engineering and construction management group works hand
in hand with the pre-commissioning teams.

Our in-house equipment spread has grown significantly and is described in detail in this
document. OCS is equipped to handle the full range of pre-commissioning activities including
flooding, cleaning, gauging, hydrotesting, dewatering, drying and nitrogen packing. We work with
established and reputable intelligent pig suppliers to complement our service. We have
established long term relationships with key Singapore and overseas vendors.

We employ dedicated career inhouse technicians to operate and maintain our equipment and an
equipment engineer to ensure our equipment is managed and maintained correctly. This enables
OCS to prepare and mobilise efficiently for projects.

PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT

9. P IP ELINE FLOODING, CLEANING AND GAUGING.

The following summarises the major issues that are addressed during planning and execution.

i) Client’s specification to be addressed and pumps and related equipment to be selected


with the right volume and pressure rating to meet the requirements specified for pig speed.
ii) Cleaning and Gauging Pigs to be selected to suit the required application. Gauging plates
to be sized in accordance with specification requirements. The front and last pigs will
usually be fitted with pingers or tracking devices to enable the location of the pig train to be
monitored.
iii) Chemicals to be assigned in accordance with the protection requirements of the
specification and environmental considerations specific to the host country in which the
work is being carried out. Where disposal of treated water is onshore special treatment
procedures to be put in place.
iv) Procedures to account for the nature of the flooding operation :

- Onshore to Onshore
- Platform to Platform.
- Platform to Onshore (or reverse)
- Platform to Subsea. (or reverse)
- Subsea to Subsea.

v) Pig launchers and receivers to be designed and fabricated as required compatible with the
pig train to be launched and received. Where pig launching and / or receipt is subsea
measures to be put in place to protect divers. On platforms and onshore personnel safety
to be give the highest priority accounting for proximity to the handling of high volumes of
pressurized water.
vi) Calibrated Instrumentation provided to measure and record pressure and flow during
flooding operations.
vii) Where pipeline installation operations involve subsea tie in connections the pipeline will
need to be flooded to allow diver access to flange connections. In such cases pigging
operations may have to be conducted before and after the connections are made up.
viii) Where the pipelines are constructed from Corrosion Resistant Alloy (CRA) material special
precautions will be required to avoid exposure of the pipeline to raw seawater. This may
involve the use of Gel plugs and other protection measure as discussed and agreed with
the client.

10. P IP ELINE INTELLIGENT AND CALLIP ER P IGGING

For certain pipelines intelligent pigging may be specified for the pipeline. This can take the form
of:

i) Caliper pigging which measures the internal bore of the pipeline and detects deformities
along the length of the pipelines providing information on the exact linear location and
orientation of the deformity.
ii) MFL pigging which measure the wall thickness of the pipeline with corresponding linear
and orientation data.

PRE QUALIFICATION Offshore Construction Specialists Pte Ltd. Page 11 of 47


OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS

PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT

This pigging is sometimes specified for new pipelines to establish a baseline from against which
subsequent measurements can be compared. For existing pipelines it is used to assess
damage that may have been sustained and /or the extent of corrosion in the pipe wall.

The intelligent pigs are fitted with batteries which have a finite life and this must be considered
when loading the pigs to ensure the length of the operation from loading to receipt will not exceed
the battery life. This can be a critical consideration when subsea pigging is contemplated.
Intelligent pigs are normally run from platform to platform or platform to shore (or reverse).

Intelligent pigs contain very sensitive instrumentation that is easily damaged so it is important
that all debris is removed from the pipeline. To this end cleaning and gauging pigs are normally
run through the pipeline to ensure the line is clear before the intelligent pig is run.

Constant pig run speed is also critical to the collection of reliable data from intelligent pigging
operations. Surging of the pig should be avoided. To this end constant back pressure needs to
be maintained. For pig propulsion a non compressible medium such as seawater is strongly
preferred as it is far easier to maintain constant back pressure and speed. Propulsion by Air or
Nitrogen should be avoided. Inclusion of the intelligent pig with the pipeline dewatering train
should be avoided if possible as surging of the pigs is hard to control. These issues need to be
discussed in the project planning phase.

OCS does not own intelligent pigs but has agreements with reputable subcontract companies
who provide the specific intelligent pigs and qualified technicians to support the overall pipeline
pre-commissioning operation.

11. P IP ELINE HYDROTES TING

Pipeline hydrotesting is normally carried out after the completion of flooding, cleaning and
gauging activities. Hydrotesting confirms the strength and leak integrity of the pipeline.

The purpose of the pipeline hydrotest is to ensure that the pipeline, as well as all flanged
connections and appurtenances meet or exceed the design specifications. This is done by
introducing a pressure typically 125% of the design operating pressure of the pipeline. The
pressure is introduced by pumping additional water into the pipeline system, and
maintaining the pressure for a minimum of 24 hours, without additional pumping or
unaccountable losses.

When the pigging run has been accepted by the Client, the pig launcher and receiver
assemblies are removed and blind flanges installed. A pumping spread, comprising a high-
pressure pump, chemical injection pump and a flowmeter will be set-up adjacent to the end of
the pipeline. Additional instrumentation for monitoring the test will also be set-up in a sheltered
location nearby. This will normally comprise a dead weight tester, pressure recorders and
gauges, subsea temperature monitors, temperature recorders, etc.

The pressure in the pipeline is raised gradually when all the entrapped air in the pipeline is
purged. Frequent volume and pressure monitoring is done for the first 30% of the pressure
increase to observe for signs of air entrapment. If this is not exceeded, then pumping will
continue, otherwise the pressure will be bled off and further purging done to remove the
entrapped air.

PRE QUALIFICATION Offshore Construction Specialists Pte Ltd. Page 12 of 47


OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS

PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT

Stabilization hold points are normally observed at 75% of test pressure, and thence at
100%. The test period will begin when the pressure in the pipeline stabilizes over a
reasonable length of time. When the test is deemed to begin, new charts will be placed in all
the recording instruments. Any pressure loss will need to be correlated to temperature
fluctuations. When the Client is satisfied that the test is acceptable, after holding for a
period of 24 hours or more, then the pressure can be bled off gradually.

Care must be taken when preparing the hydrotest to ensure that all the pipeline
components are rated to or above the test pressure. This may be a problem when hydrotest
limits extend to process pipe work on topside decks or refinery equipment onshore.

Some of the key points to consider when running the hydrotesting operation are:

• Allow for thermal stabilization before commencement of hydrotest.


• Confirm any valves in the system are not closed.
• Ensure the Pipeline is topped-up with treated seawater from the pressurization end to
vent off residual air within the pipeline.
• Air venting provision is provided in temporary manifold system at one or both ends of a
pipeline.
• Only once system is topped-up and air venting has been completed, pressurization will
commenced.
• All the instruments such as Dead Weight Tester, pressure recorder, temperature
recorder and pressure gauges are connected to manifold which is installed on test blind.
• The the rate of pressurization at various stages of hydrotest, and stabilization hold points,
shall be followed as per client specifications and approved procedures.

12. P IP ELINE BULK DEWATERING

Bulk dewatering involves the running of pigs equipped with sealing discs with compressed
air to remove the majority of the water in the pipeline. Further runs with polyurethane foam
pigs will then continue to swab and remove free water from the pipeline. This process also
further cleans the internal walls of the pipeline. Strict criteria may exist governing the internal
cleanliness of the pipeline that may require the running of many such swabbing pigs.

Dewatering shall not commence until the acceptance criteria for the hydrotest have been met and
approved by the client.

Typically a pipeline will be gauged and dewatered with a pig train consisting of 3 bi-directional
dewatering pigs.The pigs will be launched and propelled at an approximate speed of between
0.5m/s to 1.5m/s by dry air until the pigs are received at the receiver.

Ideally a pig indicator is installed on the receivers, to give confirmation that pigs have arrived. If
they are not, the indication of pigs arrival will be an increase in back pressure as the pigs reach
the receiver, and decrease in back pressure when all the pig has arrived. A second check is the
confirmation of volume of air injected into the pipeline.

PRE QUALIFICATION Offshore Construction Specialists Pte Ltd. Page 13 of 47


OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS

PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT

In the event that it is unsure if the pig is has arrived in the receiver, an additional 10% of fill
volume shall be injected. Once the pig train is received the pipeline will be depressurised to
ambient, and the pig train will be recovered one by one from the receiver. On acceptance of the
pigs condition, all the logs, chart and gauging plates shall to be signed by the parties.

The final stage of dewatering of the pipeline typically utilises a pig train consisting of 2-3 Long
Run Heavy Duty (LRHD) final dewatering and swabbing pigs. As an example, a final dewatering
pig train configuration may consist of the following:

• 1 x LRHD bare foam pig


• 100liner meter of dry air at 3barg
• 1 x LRHD bare foam pig
• 100liner meter of dry air at 3barg
• 1 x LRHD bare foam pig
• One line volume at 3barg

13. P IP ELINE AIR DRYING

The concept of air drying of a pipeline is based around the principle that a continuous supply of
heated air from an air compressor, provides heat energy which is absorbed by residual water in
the pipeline, which speeds evaporation. The water vapor is transported by the flowing air out of
the pig receiver at the other end of the pipeline.

A hygrometer setup at the receiver will indicate completion of the drying process when the outlet
air dew point reduces significantly from its starting value. During the pipeline drying process, the
air will be close to saturation at the prevalent ambient temperature. When the pipeline is dry, the
dew point will reduce towards that of the feed air from the compressor.

In the field, typically pipelines shall be air dried using the same air drier spread used during
swabbing operation. The air drying operation commences with 1 line volume after the last foam
swabbing pig is removed from receiver. Air is blown continuously until the client specified dew
point is reached at the receiver end.

14. P IP ELINE VACUUM DRYING

Vacuum drying is a method where the pipeline is completely sealed and then a single port is
connected to high power vacuum system, which extracts air from the pipeline. Over a period of
time, the humidity level in the outlet will reduce rapidly as a stable vacuum level is formed. There
will be a period where the dewpoint level stabilizes as residual liquid water is evaporated and
extracted. When all the water has been removed, the dewpoint will drop again and this signals
the end of the vacuum purge process. The hygrometer mounted in the vacuum inlet will give
determination of the end point.

There are basically 5 steps to the vacuum drying process:

1) Pipeline isolation; pull down to Saturation Vapour Pressure (SVP)


2) Boil off
3) Pull down to Partial Vapour Pressure (PVP)

PRE QUALIFICATION Offshore Construction Specialists Pte Ltd. Page 14 of 47


OFFSHORE CONSTRUCTION SPECIALISTS

PIPELINE PRE-COMMISSIONING
PRE-QUALIFICATION DOCUMENT

4) Soak Test
5) Stabilisation

As advance preparation for the pipeline drying operation, temporary piping and fittings shall be
fabricated for connecting the pipeline end to the Vacuum Equipment.

Prior to commencing the vacuum drying operations on the pipeline section, it is necessary to
ensure that all temporary pipe work and all the flange joints are vacuum tight (no leaks under
vacuum).

The typical sequence of steps followed during vacuum drying process follows:
• The pipeline section valve will be closed and the system pressure from the vacuum
pumps to the main pipeline valve will be pulled down
• When the pipeline section target pressure has been reached the vacuum pumps will be
shut down, the system will be allowed to stabilise. Upon completion of stabilisation the
pressure will be monitored and logged at 10 minute intervals for a period of 1 hour. If
there is no considerable leak in the temporary piping connections the in leak check is
accepted if not the connections has to be rechecked properly and corrected to be leak
proof.
• Upon completion of the temporary piping system in leak checks, the main pipeline section
valve shall be opened. The vacuum pumps shall be brought on line (slowly) and the
vacuum drying of the pipeline section shall commence.
• The pressure in the pipeline section shall be reduced to the Saturation Vapour Pressure
(SVP), which upon achieving this pressure the water in the pipeline section will start to
boil off.
• When all free water in the pipeline section has boiled off, the pressure will start to fall at
an accelerated rate, during which stage the absorbed water in the pipe wall will be pulled
out.
• The pipeline section pressure will then be pulled down to the Partial Vapour Pressure
corresponding to the client specified dew point ( e.g. 4.015 mbar for ‐5°C Dew point).
• Once the pipeline has been drawn down to the required pressure, the “soak test” shall
commence. The vacuum plant will be isolated from the pipeline by closing all isolation
valves in the system, and the pressure will now be monitored for a duration as specified
by the client. .
• During pipeline isolation, a stabilisation period should be allowed, for both pressure and
dew point to reach a state of equilibrium. The pressure and dew point would be monitored
over a sufficiently long period, dependent on the pipeline’s length and the environmental
conditions, so that if any remaining water evolves, an increase in pressure, and to a
lesser extent dew point would occur.
• The soak test will only be deemed acceptable if over the 12 hour period, the pressure
measured remains on, or less than 4.015 mbar, taking into consideration any in‐leaks
calculated during the pipeline in‐leak test.
Upon acceptance of the dryness of the pipeline section the remote location will be
isolated and the pipeline pressure reduced to PVP pressure (4.015 mbar or ‐5o C Dew
point). Upon completion of vacuum drying the pipeline will be isolated and left under
vacuum ready for nitrogen packing.

15. NITROGEN P ACKING

As part of the preparation for the Nitrogen Packing process, once the equipment has been
set‐up, it shall be function tested in order to ensure that no damage has occurred during
transportation to site. All temporary hoses, pipe work, fittings and valves shall be tested to the
maximum operating pressure of the units.

The Nitrogen is brought to site as a liquid, contained in a cryogenic tank. During pumping
operations the liquid is pumped through a vaporizer unit where it converts to a gas, and then
through the temporary discharge line into the pipeline. Pumping rates and pressures are variable
to suit the operation required. Nitrogen Gas shall be injected into the pipeline to break the
vacuum and line shall be pressurised to 2 Barg.

Nitrogen with the following typical characteristics will be pumped in to the pipeline:

• Dew point ‐50 deg c


• Oxygen max 2%
• Co2 max 5%

Vacuum Hoses shall be disconnected and suitably rated blind flanges shall be installed.
Delivery hoses from the vaporiser shall be connected to the 2" connection available on the blind
flange installed at the end of Pipeline.

The typical sequence of a Nitrogen Packing Operation is as follows:

1) Open valve on the nitrogen tank allowing liquid nitrogen into the nitrogen vaporizer,
maintain the liquid nitrogen tank pressure between 3 to 5 Bar.
2) Commence flow of liquid nitrogen from the storage tank through the nitrogen vaporiser.
As the liquid turns to gas in the vaporizer commence flow to the pipeline.
3) Nitrogen injection will begin slowly and build to an expected pumping rate of approx. 1000
Cu. Mtrs/Hr.
4) Continue to flow nitrogen gas into the pipeline, change liquid tank as and when
necessary.
5) Purging will continue until pressure in the pipeline reaches to 2barg. Upon receiving
confirmation the required pressure has been achieved, the pumping shall be ceased.
6) Pressure will be monitored and recoded by pressure chart recorder. On completion of
nitrogen purging, readings shall be taken for every 2hrs interval of Pipeline pressure and
temperature up to 24hrs.

18.12 HEATED REGENERATIVE DES ICCANT AIR DRYER & AIR COOLED AFTER
COOLER

Regenerative compressed air dryer use desiccant to absorb water vapour from the compressed
airstream. In the twin tower design, one tower dries the air from the After-cooler while the
dessicant in the other tower is being regenerated to provide continuous operation. A heater is
added to heat the purge air. It not only benefits the regeneration effect but also decreases
regeneration purge loss.

Desiccant: activated alumina + molecular sieve


Purge air: <3 ~ 6%
Working pressure: 24 barg
Inlet oil content: < 0.1 mg/m3
Pressure dew point: - 40oC to - 50oC
Inlet temperature: - 0oC to 45oC
Capacity: 150 Nm3/min
Heater: 50 kW
Dimension: 2.9 x 2.2 x 3.5m
Weight: 5.9 mT
Lifting skid are mounted.

Air Cooled After Cooler is auxiliary


equipment of air compressor, after
which the high temperature and high
pressure air is cooled. Most of the
vapour is condensated and discharged
out of compressor in order to meet the
working conditions of downstream
drying equipment. The medium of
cooling is air.
Capacity: 150 Nm3/min
Power requirement: 2.5 kW
Dimension: 2.9 x 2.2 x 3.5m
Weight: 5.9 mT
