Rig Inspections - Pre Drill, Condition and Acceptance ,BOP and Subsea inspection
Rig Inspections will be conducted using the OCS Group Acceptance Guidelines Program, which includes testing of all equipment and systems to verify their condition and performance.
OCS has developed an inspection program that deals with only “Operation and Safety-Critical” items. This includes but is not limited to;
- Intrusive inspections of the internal parts of specific equipment including critical measurements and clearance to ensure equipment is running within recommended tolerances.
- Function testing, pressure testing, load testing and insulation resistance checks for all critical equipment on the drilling unit, as required.
- Verification that the proper safety devices are installed correctly, testing that these correctly function and are correctly calibrated to prevent equipment damage and accidents.
- Verification that the rig equipment complies with API standards, the equipment manufacturer’s specifications and recommendations and good engineering practices.
- Verification that the rig is in compliance with the contractual requirements as provided by the client.

rig Inspections and asset integrity check
rre drill inspection
OCS Group offers an asset validation or selection service called Pre-tender rig inspections. This service eliminates the time required to validate tendered rigs for the adequacy of one off and extended drilling campaigns.
Condition and Acceptance
Rig condition & acceptance surveys are defined as comprehensive assessments by way of a detailed evaluation of equipment and systems. This inspection will cover an in-depth survey of the state of maintenance of the rig. It includes an inspection of all safety critical elements of the installation and all equipment that could be anticipated to cause operational downtime when a mechanical failure of that equipment occurs.
Rig Selection
This is a service for the operating company required by the drilling contractors if the contractor wants to be considered for the tendering exercise. This benefits the operator in a number of ways;
- No costs to the operator
- Reduces the number of approved assets involved in the tenders
- Ensures that the qualified assets are in an appropriate condition for the operation
- Reduces time for tender evaluation
- Improves the capability of the rigs tendered
asset integrity check
For Asset Integrity Audits, OCS can use its priority software (which we have outlined in general detail only), or normal traditional checklist process. Both methods have similar audit questions – for systems and equipment which can also be customized for a client requirement, however, the software has many advantages.
