DESCRIPTION
ACTION
Kick off meeting.
Familiarisation general look around the rig, and loose equipment.
Poorboy Degasser (Dreco Ref 95-1512)
Visual inspection and documentation review.
Ultrasonic (UT) checks to be made and to be reviewed and verified against original GSP

thicknesses.
3c Original DNV report NV69908 /7 ESN dated 5th July 1994 was sited.
3d Vent line was confirmed as being as high as possible Runs up mast to the top.
3e

(W.P. = Atmospheric).
No MPI was carried out on the vessel welds, nozzles, and attachments However GSP

4a

GSP agreed to do this 100%.

(Vessel is about to be shot-blasted).
Mast Strengthening.
Various strengthening plates have been fitted, some welds were noted to have excessive GSP
weaving the weld procedure qualification record (WPQR) with mechanical tests

etc to be provided for review.

4b Approved drawings re the modifications are required for verification.
GSP
4c Welder qualification certificates were reviewed and found in order.
4d The NDE company was on site to do MPI on the new welds several areas considered
4e

most critical were identified for the 20% MPI.

Electro-magnet MPI equipment was in use and found to be calibrated.

No NDE

operator qualifications were seen. These to be forwarded to GSP along with the MPI GSP
4f

report and a marked up drawing showing the location of areas tested.

Material certificates for the mast strengthening modifications were reviewed as follows
10mm, 15mm and 20mm plates all verified as 355 grade with Charpy impact tests at

-20oC.
4g The top section of the mast is undergoing shot-blasting, GSP advised that the welds on
this section had already been inspected by Dan Geauca and deemed acceptable. The GSP
requirement for MDE was discussed and it was agreed that the pin / joint locations
would be MPId.

Air Receivers (3 off).

Original certification was verified.
Ultrasonic (UT) checks to be made, and reviewed and verified against original GSP
thicknesses. (GSP advised that the thickness checks have already been carried out so all

5c

thats needed is a review of these).

The 750 litre vessel has an attachment on its shell (Perhaps a burst disc) which GSP
needs investigation.

5d

The PSVs on the 3 vessels were last calibrated in 2003. These all need to be removed
and re-calibrated.

(According to the records, these were previously set at 150psi,

5e

thereby limiting the max W.P to a little less than 150psi).

Pressure test reports for all three vessels, which are stated to have been carried out GSP

5f

in 2000 were not seen in the documentation.

The gauge on the 750 litre vessel was last calibrated in 2002, this needs re-checked.
The fitting from the gauge to the vessel is corroded and also needs checked and GSP

5g

perhaps replaced.
Two of the vessels have inspection / manways these to open up for internal check. GSP
Ultrasonic thickness checks - A spot check on the piping needs to be provided for GSP

review.
Manifold.
The manifold lying loose outside the office block - valves have plates indicating
manufacture to API 6A 19th edition PSL 2. However, as per API PSL 2 the test
duration on the seat/gate tests is 3+3+3mins on each side of the gate at maximum GSP
working pressure, the test reports do not indicate that the valves have been tested
to this requirement. There appears to be no DNV involvement in the manufacture
of these valves. Full valve documentation pack (MRB) is required for review along

with an Independent Design Review Report. GSP to investigate.

Hazardous Area Electrical Equipment.
According to labels on the Ex equipment, these boxes were last checked January GSP
2006. All of the boxes need to be checked by a competent electrical authority.
An electricl Ex schedule to be provided covering all Ex equipment on the Rig.

Koomey Bottles.
New accumulator bottles are on site documentation for these needs to be GSP
reviewed.
