Sakhalin, Russia

Contracted by McDermott, OMS provided pipe measurement and fit-up services at the ExxonMobil/Neftegas-operated Sakhalin Arkutun-Dagi oil and gas field project in Russia, one of the largest integrated oil and gas fields in the world. This project had many challenges - the high pressure line in a seismically-sensitive region required stringent fit-up standards and the work had to be completed in a short time-frame before the ocean froze over. McDermott brought OMS in to manage fit-up for the remaining pipe following a ‘beach pull’ operation. Optimal pipe sequencing and rotation was achieved and production delays caused by mismatched pipe avoided.

Project experience includes:

• Pipe end measurement - 1,999 joints of 20” line pipe

• Data capture and analysis

• SmartFit™ - pipe fit-up services included random selection random rotation, random selection best rotation and best sequence best rotation
