A Checklist for Pre-Commissioning of Offshore Facilities

ffective Pre-Commissioning planning and initiation of PC activities provide a necessary bridge between earlier project execution phases, including Mechanical Completion, and the final commissioning and startup of the facility. PC can be an essential mark between the transition from a discipline-based approach to one that verifies the functionality of systems, regardless of their location on the facility. The planning required for an efficient Pre-Commissioning (PC) of an offshore facility is typically started during the early stages of detail design and commences immediately after Mechanical Completion (MC) has been achieved, which itself follows the engineering design and construction phases. Prior to initiating the PC actual work stage, the supervisor of the MC phase creates a formal document transferring the complete dossier of all activity of the system for handover to the Pre-Commissioning team, along with a register or punchlist that indicates any remaining MC work that still needs to be completed or closed out.

Pre-Commissioning is Systems Driven

Whereas Mechanical Completion includes the non-functional testing of equipment to confirm the integrity of its fabrication and installation to the intended design, Pre-Commissioning verifies the mechanical completion, the functionality of the system as well as calibration of the instrumentation to the facilities controls and control systems. While MC is completed by area or discipline, the Pre-Commissioning phase will be turned over to specialists who can address confirmation by system, ensuring that it is complete and ready for final Commissioning and startup. This phase can best commence efficiently after all of the components are in place so that systems, rather than individual pieces, can be verified. The PC contractor also engages the design engineering firm, vendors, manufacturers and operating personnel for support and their expertise. During the Pre-Commissioning effort, there can be many activities completed during the onshore phase and then moved offshore for completion of the system check-out. Where

Pre-commissioning addresses readiness by system rather than by individual pieces of equipment.

practical, piping should be power flushed and dried; communication systems tested to the fullest extent possible; instrument and electrical loops will be verified; instruments will undergo initial and final calibration; pumps can be operated where possible; motors verified for proper rotation and can be run and tested (burned in); and rotating equipment can receive initial (cold) alignments. The Pre-Commissioning phase is vital to schedule adherence of the project and a necessity in helping to minimize cost overruns. Ideally, PC activities should be planned as part of the construction and earlier project execution strategy so there can be a smooth transition from structural, mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and controls fabrication to systems checks where scheduled work is maximized. This time in the project is when potential flaws of construction, uncompleted tasks and system inadequacies can come to light and be addressed early enough to minimize schedule delays. Without a thorough Pre-Commissioning effort, potentially time-consuming and expensive modifications can go undone onshore, only to be addressed in a much more difficult offshore environment.

Organization and Planning Are Key

The selection of a Pre-Commissioning team is one of the most important milestones that will need to be addressed. The team will be responsible for planning and supplying the critical support and leadership during this project phase. The leadership as well as team members should, therefore, be experienced with the planning, tasks, schedule and project drivers regarding startup, as well as its complexities. After the project has determined the Scope of Work, the overall project schedule and startup drivers, an organization chart needs to be established, defining the overall hierarchy of how the PC team fits within the overall project management team. Additionally, a roles and responsibilities matrix required for the upcoming activities should be established. There will need to be separate designators in organizational charts created indicating location for the onshore and offshore PC work due to potential differences in contractual arrangements, transportation, personnel housing, parts availability and numerous other issues. Only after the scope of

The pre-commissioning team is vital to maintaining project schedule

work and organizational plan is in place can the initial schedule be prepared, establishing the critical milestones for handing off systems to the commissioning and operations teams. These milestones are often how the PC team and their progress will be measured. The responsibility matrix is important to complement the organization definitions. The level of the matrices vary from broad to detailed, but its main use is to identify not only the scope of work and supply, but also the responsibility and Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPs) which may occur. For the purpose of this discussion, getting to the matrix level of PC and MC interface, along with the other SIMOPs is wise early enough to best identify any potential holes during the different phases of work. As discussed previously, identifying the location of the PC work plays an important role in the responsibility of certain activities and interfaces. For example, due to contractual limitations as well as schedule drivers, the onshore MC work will take priority and the facility where the work is being performed would be the driver. Whereas offshore the MC work may still be the priority, however the driver would be the Operator. The matrix, therefore, can identify not only the task but the responsibility of the work, whereas the details of the work are identified within the PC procedures and tracking database. In the initial planning of the PC stage, a critical path should be evaluated to establish the procedures that will be optimal to success. Although the best laid plans always have their obstacles, a plan must be established as a starting point. A detailed list of required activities would be created by the PC team and coupled with the data developed earlier in the project by engineering and managed through an electronic project information management system. The PC contractor is responsible for maintaining the data base, tracking progress critical for adhering to schedule and determining the status of the various activities. Reference data provided by engineering and the other delivery teams will need to be organized by the PC contractor according to the identified systems and should reside in a location accessible to all who will be utilizing it. Data includes, but is not limited to, PFDs, P&IDs, mechanical, electrical motor and ISA data sheets,

instrument and electrical loop drawings, wiring plans and elevations for skids and modules, as well as the manufacturers final data manuals for purchased equipment. A potential shortcoming is in not obtaining the interface data from outside of the topsides delivery team, e.g. subsea, export pipeline, communications, hull fabricators equipment. The key will be to provide a conscious effort to close these gaps early within the project so as not to impact the planned startup date.

Successful PC work relies on detailed planning and defined responsibilities

The PC work normally is broken down into discreet, manageable systems. The systems are separated according to the logical process flow, rather than by a package vendor. For example, a heat media system might include a fired unit, heat recovery unit, storage unit and pumps, along with interconnect piping, instrumentation, controls and electrical, all of which have likely been supplied by different vendors and reside on separate skids. This systems breakdown is the logical process to verify construction, confirm the integrity of the design, and prepare the system for handover to operations as the phase goes forward. The organization also allows for the commissioning of sub-systems within a system, without having to initiate work on the entire system. This avoids having to work around a finish to start on a system scenario, thus pushing the overall startup schedule past the desired outcome. The PC of utility systems is typically the first to be addressed and completed. This allows life support for the offshore personnel in addition to minimizing the need for additional components to PC the process systems later.

10

It is essential that good record keeping and a detailed preventative maintenance plan be initiated and carried out through handover to operations during the PC phase. A job or activity card system is an output of the existing database system, resulting as an archive to the work performed as an as built record. Task sheets record the subsystems and systems which have been completely pre-commissioned and ready for handover to be integrated into the facilities operating systems. In the overall PC work plan and prior to initiating the PC work, a meeting schedule should be established so that overall planning and progress can be regularly discussed and understood by all parties. Each of the participants should have a schedule that can be owned by them, reviewed intermittently by the team and adjusted accordingly, so that progress coincides among all team members. The critical path should be reviewed at a minimum weekly and recovery plans generated or updated as necessary.

schedules and manpower requirements. These would include topsides Hookup and Commissioning (HUC), subsea flowline installation and testing contractors, and the export pipeline installation and testing contractors, as well as 3rd party vendors, communications personnel and Operations. During the offshore phase, depending upon timing and the hull type, a habitability inspection will be conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard or similar regulatory body. The work plan shall include in the overall schedule identifying work onshore, work offshore, work to achieve quarters habitation, Temporary Certificate of Inspection (TCOI), Final Certificate of Inspection (COI), and Handover to Operations. A variety of systems must be carefully planned for and put in place in order for approval of these various milestones. For TCOI these may include sufficient living quarters; temporary power generation; fire fighting, fire detection and suppression equipment; emergency evacuation equipment; potable water and sewage treatment provisions; and communications equipment. Planning for and precisely scheduling manpower is critical. If sufficient facilities are not available on the platform, floatels or other means for housing personnel might be required at a significant extra cost. The critical nature of the work being performed offshore compared with the other activities along with the schedule must be evaluated in depth to determine the cost/schedule benefit and work plan for utilizing a flotel. This also means weather limitations and transfer of personnel risks must be evaluated. Similarly, working space and delivery areas must be closely planned to accommodate the simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) being conducted during the pre-commissioning and subsequent commissioning operations.

Conclusion
In order for the PC segment to be successful, a good and detailed Pre-Commissioning/Commissioning plan should be developed, as early in the project as possible and good interface between all groups must be established. An experienced team, equipped with the necessary tools, data base, organizational structure, defined responsibilities and procedures, can assure that the Pre-Commissioning segment is efficient and can keep costs and schedule in-line with expectations.

Deck space and personnel management are a critical part of offshore PC activities

POB Management
An important consideration in Pre-Commissioning is planning for the required number of personnel needed to undertake the offshore PC activities, the transportation requirements for the crews and their supplies, and the allocated personnel on board (POB) space to accommodate them. While working during the onshore phase space is somewhat unlimited with the exception of interfaces with Construction, offshore work presents a whole different set of challenges. Offshore, the PC team will have to work closely with all of the different work scopes onboard to understand each others

Settling the Score on Sports Injuries

Physical activity is funand healthy. If youre not careful, though, there can be pay time for your playtime. AS everyone knows, being physically fit can slow down the aging process. And what better way could there be to get fit than to play? Any sport will do, from baseball to basketball, from soccer to swimming, from tennis to tap dancing which technically isnt a sport, but the alliteration is irresistible. Millions of sports-enthusiasts have moved from being mere spectators to being active participants, with numerous benefits. The fact is, regular playing of some sportvirtually any sport, unless its being played on a computercan enhance your muscle and joint function, keep your bones strong, and decrease your risk of heart attack and stroke. For many, though, the quest to be physically fit comes with a heavy price tag. Consider the following statistics, which specify the number of injuries treated each year in hospitals, doctors offices, clinics, ambulatory surgery centers, and emergency rooms: Tennis: 78,000 injuries Gymnastics: 86,000 injuries Swimming: 150,000 injuries Volleyball: 187,000 injuries Soccer: 477,500 injuries Baseball: 500,000 injuries Basketball: 1,600,000 injuries Simple addition of the above stats puts the tally at over two million injuries per yeara phenomenal figure, when you consider that were just trying to have a little fun. Some sports injuries are sustained due to accidents involving impact, while others can be attributed to improper use of equipment. And if youre out of shape to begin with, abruptly diving into vigorous exercise can even make you more vulnerable to strains and sprains.

Whatever the cause, sports related injuries put a damper on what should be a healthy activity. So how can you prevent injury while indulging in your favorite game? Following are some suggestions. Dont skip warm-up. Research confirms that cold muscles are more prone to injury. So take time for warm up and stretching exercises. What constitutes a worthwhile warm-up? Try jumping jacks, stationary cycling, or running in place for several minutes. Then slowly and gently stretch, holding each position for about 30 seconds. Do it daily. Its better to be a daily do-er than a weekend warrior. Dont worryyou dont have to be a fanatic to follow this guideline. Just 30 minutes a day will do. The important thing is to be consistent. According to experts, you do yourself a disservice if youre inert all week and then rush to the basketball court on the weekend. The fact is, those who plunge into sudden vigorous activity are more susceptible to injury, andquite ironicallythey usually dont increase their fitness level at all!

If the idea of 30 minutes per day still sounds overwhelming, try breaking it up into three 10-minute periods. And moderate physical exercise including daily routines you might take for grantedcan be included. So dont overlook gardening, walking the dog, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Get trained! Insufficient training is often at the root of a sports injury. So the value of expert help cannot be overemphasized. Local park districts and athletic clubs offer lessons at various levels of play for many sports, and these can be a worthwhile investment. So consider taking lessons. Proper form and instruction will reduce your risk of developing an overuse injury, including tendinitis or stress fracture. Dress for success. Wear a helmet when advisable, such as when playing baseball and football. For tennis, try wearing two pairs of socks or socks with extra padding. Look at your shoes, too. Are they the proper type for the sport youre playing? Do they provide adequate support?

Dont use shoes that are designed for one sport while playing another. A shoe with a medial arch support or a heel cup can also be helpful. When the treads on your shoes start to look worn (or the shoes are no longer as supportive as they once were), its time to replace them. Invest in equipment. For instance, if gymnastics is your thing, you may need a different piece of equipment for each event. Hand grips, wrist and ankle belts, and knee braces are just some of the items youll need. Dont balk at the expense. A little investment in equipment now can save a bundle in treatment later. Level the playing field. Take a good look at the ground youll be running on. Are their holes on the ball field? Cracks on the tennis court? Sharp objects (such as glass) in the sand? Be first-aid savvy. It helps for you to have knowledge of how to treat incidental injuries. Facial cuts, bruises, and minor strains and sprains can be treated with a little first-aid know-how. And be prepared for more serious

18

injuries by knowing in advance what youll do if it becomes necessary to obtain medical help. Use the 10-percent rule. As you become enthused about a sport, youll likely want to play it more. Thats good. But experts caution that when changing your activity level, you should increase it in increments of no more than 10 percent per week. For example, if you normally walk two miles a day and now you want to increase your fitness level, dont try to double your distance in a day. You can use the 10-percent with weight training, swimming, tennis, and any other sport. Listen to your body. As you get older, youll find that youre not as flexible as you once were, or that you cant tolerate the same types of activities that you did years ago. While no one is happy about getting older, you will be able to prevent injury by modifying your activity to accommodate your bodys needs. Pain is usually a sign that you need to slow down or change your routine. Develop a balanced fitness program. A good fitness program incorporates cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flexibility. In addition to providing a total body workout, a balanced program will keep you from getting bored and lessen your chances of injury. WHAT ABOUT KIDS? Dr. James Andrews, a well-known orthopedic surgeon, says that hes seeing four times as many sports related injuries among youths than he did five years ago. And he says that

more kids have injuries that are serious enough to require surgery. What accounts for the upsurge? For one thing, more children are getting involved in organized sports. Another factor: Youths are somewhat nave when it comes to the dangers, and hence theyre more prone to take risks. But theres another problem. More youth today are specializing in one sport at an early age and training year round, writes Elizabeth Quinn at the web site sportsmedicine.about.com. Gone are the days of switching to a new sport each season. How can parents protect their children? First, they should make sure that their kids are using the

proper equipment, including helmets, kneepads, and goggles. Second, make sure there is adequate supervision. A qualified adult preferably one who is trained in first aid and in CPRshould be present. Third, never forget that youths need warm-ups, too. They also need plenty of fluids, so train them to keep a water bottle nearby. Finally, young athletes need to vary their training. All pros have an offseason where they change up their training routine and rest more, writes Elizabeth Quinn. They still specialize in one sport, but they adjust their seasonal training to allow complete recovery. No one can go 100% in a sport year-round without risking injury or reduced performance.

Different Era, Similar Challenges

The engineering and construction of crude oil pipelines have been successfully undertaken for more than a century, commencing when producers realized that there were more economical means to get the crude from the wellhead to the refinery or storage terminal other than by horse drawn wagons. The earliest stages of pipeline engineers had to address materials specifications of the pipe, geography of the route, logistics of equipment mobilization and demobilization, infrastructure development and understanding of line pressures. To some degree, engineers also had to consider relations with the communities along the route, cooperation with all project stakeholders, preservation of the environment, security of the equipment and personnel, and safety of the pipeliners. The world has long been energy driven, relying on production from known sources of crude oil in areas that have been drilled extensively. Increasing global demand and a per barrel price of $70 or above, however, have augmented the search for crude and increased the economic incentives to get it to markets. Developing

nations are not only trying to increase their own production, but are becoming net exporters to other developing countries as well as the traditional global importers, including the United States. Easily accessible resources have already been exploited, often leaving newly discovered or identified, but previously not viable, reserves to be produced in remote regions with little or no infrastructure and few local technological resources. In todays world of pipelining, while the technologies, materials and expertise are far more sophisticated than they were in the early years, many of the same challenges remain and require at least the same level of ingenuity.

Understanding Specifications and Tolerances

In the United States, crude oil pipeline specifications are enforced under regulation 49 CFR 195 by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), an agency of the Department of Transportation (DOT). The standard specifies the maximum allowable operating pressures (MAOP) of the pipeline based on its diameter, pipe wall thickness, and the strength of the steel. At one time, steel pipe mills produced a limited

30

Pipe specifications can be tailored to close tolerances that require an increased emphasis on Quality Assurance at the pipe mill.

variety of standard pipeline wall thicknesses, such as 0.375 and 0.500, from which engineers would select based on the calculated pipe thickness and diameter, offering a sufficient safety factor, to accommodate hoop stress, the internal force on the pipe generated by the fluid and external loads placed on the pipeline. Today, mills around the globe have the ability to customize the wall thickness to more closely align with the calculated hoop stress and operating pressures, including safety factors. Tailored thicknesses of 0.600 or 0.425, for example, are possible to manufacture within tolerances. Since pipe costs are a large economic consideration on any project, the possible wall thickness reduction of 0.100 on a 24-inch, 200-mile pipeline can be a significant cost savings to the operating company. While safety standards are being met, the emphasis on pipe mill quality assurance and tolerance control in their production are paramount. It is often prudent that the engineering company or third-party specialists conduct mill inspections, including ladle samples to ascertain that the specified steel chemistry is correct for the project requirements.

Many oil producing regions are remote, presenting infrastructure challenges for pipeline engineers.

the countrys inland regions, across mountains and rugged terrain to coast ports. The oil-producing region is isolated with little existing infrastructure. While there are some roads and existing rights-of-way, engineers are challenged to determine how necessary equipment can be mobilized and transported to the work site to construct pipelines and facilities. Decisions regarding access for pipe joints, steel plate, tanks, pumps and construction equipment delivery have to be considered. The extent of modularization needed to construct remote pumping stations to boost output, and storage facilities to store crude in several locations throughout the country must also be taken into account. Much of the crude is considered highly viscous, requiring additional storage and capabilities for adding diluents. Tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) and global positioning systems (GPS) can be employed to assist in the fastest and best route determination. Logistics experts can assist engineers in this effort. Alternatives for demobilization also need to be analyzed, with cost estimates completed as thoroughly as possible during the detailed design

Assessing Constructability
Mustang personnel have engineered and managed pipeline and facilities projects in numerous remote regions of the world, from the frozen arctic to desert heat and seemingly impenetrable jungles. Understanding the existing infrastructure of the region is imperative even before front end engineering is undertaken. A current project in Latin America is an example. Mustang is assisting a national oil company client in a program to upgrade facilities and double product flow from fields in

31

phase. As in any remote region, personnel and facilities security are also necessities for engineers to factor into the design.

Sustaining the Environment

Ingenuity is often required for engineering urban pipelines or those traversing environmentally sensitive terrain. Workpad constraints can limit the ability to maneuver pipe and equipment, necessitating the creation of temporary work areas. During a Houston (Texas) Ship Channel deepening project, 96 existing pipelines had to either be removed or relocated. To relocate almost 60 lines under the one mile-wide channel, a A borrow ditch facilitated HDD activities in an environmentally-sensitive wetlands. suitable work area for the horizontal directional drilling Mustang accommodated up to 5,000 feet of pipe in a borrow (HDD) rig and support equipment was created by using spoil from ditch converted from a canal near the HDD exit. The entire string the channel dredging and a 45-foot circumferential Geotube. The could then be hydrostatically tested in place and pulled back 10.5 acre artificial island protruded into the water adjacent to the dredged channel and was later converted to a wildlife habitat and through the HDD hole without the need for pipe rollers or a large work area. In certain instances, where environmental considerations bird sanctuary. are not foremost, the ditches themselves can readily be constructed as a less expensive alternative to HDD.

Advocating for the Client

Understanding the clients requirements and translating them into cost savings is a prime function of an engineering firm. Planning early and thoroughly, presenting cost effective alternatives, and providing innovative solutions lead to project success. This success begins with good communications among all stakeholders and assuming the position of being good stewards of the clients resources. Maintaining good relations with landowners along the proposed route is another important facet of protecting the clients interests plus facilitating a successful project outcome. In most project decisions, there are tradeoffs between costs and timing. With the global demand and attractive market price for crude oil, it is important that decisions take into consideration the payback of on-time or early project completion. This might require considerations

Rights-of-way can be in congested regions, requiring ingenuity to create suitable work areas.

A northeastern U.S. project required the construction of a raised wooden platform to accommodate an HDD rig needed to run a new natural gas pipeline under six rail lines. With operating space confined to a right-of-way less than 15 feet wide and with a major highway and airport on one side, engineers designed a platform to straddle a tidal ditch adjacent to a pristine wetland and migratory bird sanctuary. Engineers had to consider the location of the rig site as well as the containment of any drilling fluids used in the HDD procedure. The unique logistics required permits from six local, state and federal regulatory agencies. Push ditches can be engineered to accommodate long pipe strings that have to traverse beneath sensitive wetlands or environmentally protected area. The water-filled ditch or channel, adjacent to the HDD exit, can be used to float the pipe away from the HDD site after being welded and inspected. On a U.S. Gulf Coast project,

Good landowner relations can help produce a successful project.

of alternatives during project execution that might add incremental project costs, but significant time savings and earlier payback.

Conclusion
The role of pipeline engineers continues to change with greater project complexity, higher pressures and increased flow rates. Despite the assistance from technological tools, support software and systems and dedicated specialists, engineers have to be adept at a broad range of skills- assessing materials, understanding specifications and pertinent regulations, facilitating logistics,

resolving constructability issues, preserving the environment, and communicating with all project participants and stakeholders. These skills become more pronounced with experience on a variety of different projects, each presenting a unique set of challenges that must be solved to assure project success.
