Objectives
• Client wanted to reduce HSE risk duringflare boom deployment operations
• To help client increase rig operationalefficiency by not having to tie crane up forlengthy periods of time to sling booms
Expro Excellence
• Expro worked with the client to develop aconcept for dedicated winching units tosafely deploy booms from vertical storageposition to horizontal operational position
• Two 90 foot vertical racking booms andkingposts (port and starboard) weresupplied, along with 3-Head Sea EmeraldBurners
• With a boom of 90 feet, and subsequentweights/forces, a base plate was designedto sweep through 90 degrees and supportthe weight of the boom
• Front end engineering was performed toverify the strength of the design under allloads and environmental conditionsaccording to American Bureau of Shipping(ABS) Classification of Drilling Systems(CDS) rules, performed using STAAD.Prosoftware – design and manufacture wascertified by ABS in accordance with theCDS standard
• The boom was supplied in a 30 footlengths to facilitate easy transportation andwas assembled in Singapore at the KeppelFels shipyard
• Testing of the boom and winching systemwas undertaken using water bags
• The booms were installed onto the rigwithin one year from initial order
Value to client
• Working direct with Expro was more costeffective and collaborate workingdelivered a customised solution to theirrequirements
• Crane operations are avoided – expresswinching means it take 2-3 minutes tomobilise the booms up and down intoposition
