The Challenge: Hose replacement planning and Survey ​

 

The time on Oil and Gas exploration support vessels is short. When there is a downtime for maintenance, time has to be well managed and delay costs are high. ​

 

Petrolatum tape, galvanic corrosion, Galling, among other terms, are not products or problems that we normally see in the industry, but they are very common in O&G. ​

 

During a stop for class renewal, it was necessary to do a crane hose change-out, but the question was: how much time do we need for this maintenance? And in a 15-day window, how much will it be possible to execute? ​

 

After the aboard Survey, we were able to create metrics and a plan for the execution of the work, which was carried out with an experienced external hose exchange team. Focused on exchanging hard-to-reach hoses, and with well-managed resources, the team executed the exchange of the planned hoses on time. ​

 

In addition to exchanging hoses, other Surveys were carried out on the same vessel, always looking for more practical solutions for maintenance stops.
