Project Overview

This project involved a comprehensive underwater inspection of the export hose system connected to FPSO Tamara Tokoni at the Oyo Oil Field. The goal was to assess the integrity, functionality, and safety compliance of the hose system to prevent leaks, structural failures, and environmental hazards.

Technology Used

ROV Inspection – Remote monitoring for hard-to-reach areas.

Ultrasonic Thickness Testing (UTT) – Measuring wall thickness for wear detection.

Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) – Checking for cracks and fatigue.

High-Resolution Cameras & Sonar – Capturing visual data for analysis.

Project Status

Completed

Project Scope

Visual and NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) inspection of the hose structure.

ROV-assisted surveys to detect anomalies in hard-to-reach areas.

Thickness measurement and integrity assessment.

Cleaning and removal of marine growth where necessary.

Reporting and recommendations for maintenance or replacement.

Project Objectives

Ensure the operational safety and reliability of the export hose.

Detect and assess any structural weaknesses, marine growth, or potential failure points.

Verify compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Challenges & Solutions

Strong Currents: Utilized high-precision ROVs for stability.

Biofouling & Sediment Build-up: Applied specialized cleaning techniques.

Access Constraints: Deployed divers for close-up inspections where ROVs had limitations.

Impact & Outcome

Verified the integrity of the export hose, ensuring safe crude transfer.

Identified areas for preventive maintenance, reducing downtime risks.

Enhanced compliance with safety regulations and industry best practices.
