To begin a construction project for borehole activities, you'll need to follow a systematic approach: 1. **Site Assessment:** Evaluate potential locations for drilling based on geological surveys, water table depth, and accessibility. 2. **Permitting:** Obtain necessary permits and permissions from local authorities and landowners. 3. **Design:** Develop a detailed design plan that includes the depth, diameter, and casing materials for the borehole. 4. **Equipment Procurement:** Acquire drilling equipment, casing materials, pumps, and any other necessary tools. 5. **Mobilization:** Transport equipment and personnel to the site. 6. **Drilling:** Execute the drilling process according to the design specifications, ensuring safety protocols are followed. 7. **Installation:** Insert casing and screen, and install pumping equipment. 8. **Testing:** Conduct tests to assess water quality, flow rate, and overall performance of the borehole. 9. **Commissioning:** Once the borehole meets specifications, commission it for use. 10. **Monitoring and Maintenance:** Implement a monitoring plan to ensure ongoing performance and conduct regular maintenance as needed. Each step requires careful planning and execution to ensure the success of the borehole project.

✅Oil Storage Tank Construction Oil storage tanks are essential components of the petroleum industry, providing a crucial link in the supply chain from production to distribution. Understanding the intricacies of oil storage tank construction is paramount for ensuring safety, compliance, and efficiency in the oil and gas sector. ✅ Design Considerations Before embarking on oil storage tank construction, several key design considerations must be addressed. This includes determining the tank’s size, shape, and capacity based on factors such as storage volume requirements, site constraints, and environmental considerations. Additionally, factors such as corrosion resistance, seismic design, and accessibility for maintenance must be carefully evaluated during the design phase. ✅Construction Methods. Oil storage tank construction involves several phases, including site preparation, foundation installation, tank erection, and final inspection. Site preparation involves clearing and leveling the area, followed by excavation for the tank foundation. The foundation is typically constructed from reinforced concrete to provide stability and support for the tank structure. Tank erection involves assembling the tank components on site, including the shell, roof, and fittings, followed by welding and sealing to ensure structural integrity. Oil storage tank construction is a complex and highly regulated process that requires careful planning, expertise, and adherence to industry standards. By understanding the design considerations, materials, construction methods, and regulatory requirements involved, oil and gas companies should ensure the safe and efficient construction of oil storage tanks.  With proper planning and execution, oil storage tanks will play a vital role in supporting the reliable and secure storage of petroleum products for years to come. #oil #refinery #storage #tanks #welding #pressure #temperature #API #NACE #desing #engineering #material #standard #learning #training #construction #engineering #petroleum #erection

Excavation, drilling or related jobs, always is a big challenge due to underground facilities. One the reasons that we taking permit and technical organizations/ people like Civil, Mechanical, Elec., Piping and etc. shall sign the permit it is because of preventing such accidents. I remember an excavation without permit in one of our largest Oil Refinery Development project, which resulted to cut the high voltage power lines resulted to shut down of some important units. We have been very lucky to just cut the wire without any human accidents. #excavation #undergroundsafety #backfilling #permit #accidentprevention

Subsea Laying barges Lay-barge construction is by far the most frequently used technique for marine pipeline construction. It remains the method of choice for most pipelines. Lay barge construction is versatile, flexible, and self-contained. Though it may be expensive to mobilize a lay barge to a remote location, once the barge is in place, it can start work and operate as efficiently as anywhere else, with minimal support from the shore. The lay-barge method has little competition for installing large-diameter single lines (though not bundles); and for smaller-diameter lines, it competes aggressively with the reel and tow techniques. Regarding S-Lay, The construction is based on a moored or dynamically positioned barge, on which the pipeline is built on a ramp. Lengths of pipe are lined up at the upper end of the ramp and pass through a series of welding stations as the barge moves forward. A separate welding line on the barge sometimes welds the pipe lengths together in twos (“double jointing”) before they join the main line. Tensioners apply a tension force to the pipe near the stern end of the ramp. The pipe leaves the barge at the stern, and its configuration immediately beyond the stern is a convex-upward curved section, called the overbend, within which it is supported on rollers by a stinger structure. The stinger is a substantial structure, often nearly 100 m long, generally constructed as a single open framework rigidly fixed to the barge, but it sometimes has one or more buoyant segments hinged to each other and to the barge. The pipe loses contact with the stinger at the lift-off point just above the end. It continues downward through the water as a long suspended span, a concave-upward curve called the sagbend. It reaches the seabed tangentially at the touchdown point. #subsea #offshore #oilandgas

Major pipework replacement for FPSO Turret Bearing Control System   Segment: Offshore GS-Hydro, the global leader in non-welded pipework solutions. The project, the first to fully utilize GS-Hydro’s piping replacement solution, included all the existing pipework and system components on the Turret Bearing Control System. GS-Hydro’s innovative replacement solution while TBCS system was ‘live’ Through the utilization of the innovative replacement piping solution, GS-Hydro were able to offer a complete, one stop package of services ranging from the initial site-survey through to the final system commissioning. Having the capability to offer a full project management, design and modelling package, material procurement, spool fabrication and supply, system destruct and installation plus full flushing and pressure testing services, GS Hydro were able to offer a complete package of in-house services to develop and complete the project. However, what made the project unique was that the TBCS, one of the vessel’s most important and safety critical systems, was kept ‘live’ and fully operational throughout the offshore period of the project. Through the utilization of GS-Hydro’s non-welded technology and ‘cold-work’ capability the pipework could be replaced with the system fully functioning and with virtually no interruption to production or the vessel’s operational capability. Furthermore, by approaching the project using an integrated approach, GS-Hydro were able to develop, propose and implement solutions which met with both on-and offshore technical requirements. This allowed the development of work packs that facilitated a smooth and cohesive approach that realized the potential choke points within the project prior to formulating solutions. Cost savings through GS-Hydro’s solution. An integrated and detailed planning process allowed the development of a complete stainless steel system rather than a mixed carbon/stainless system as originally fitted. This decision resulted in a significant cost saving and enhances the future life and reliability of the pipework during ongoing operational use. All three of GS-Hydro’s non-welded technology, the GS-90⁰ Flaring, the GS-37⁰ Flaring and the GS-Retain Ring, as well as additional non-hot work processes were utilized to complete the project during the offshore phase. Whilst around 85% of the required spools were bent and fabricated onshore, GS-Hydro has the capability to supply a fully equipped workshop to site. This allows spool tie-ins to be fabricated onsite thereby minimizing both time and offshore costs. In total there were some 500 spools manufactured and fitted to the TBCS as well as the replacement of all valves and other ancillary system components performed with the traditional shut-down periods thus reducing the pressure on the platform or vessel accommodation resources.
