Systems and Qualification Testing 2H conducts qualification testing of components and fabrication methods typically as part of our activity as a riser integration specialist. We have helped to define, plan and perform successful qualification testing on a variety of components including taper stress joints, buoyancy modules, mechanical connections, welded connections and the associated inspection systems, tensioning systems, monitoring systems and managed pressure drilling riser components. Our experience extends from high strength metallic materials to non-metallic materials used in seals, coatings and monitoring. Our qualification testing capability is focused around two key areas of expertise: that of industry codes and standards such as API, ISO, ASTM, DNV, ABS and NACE, etc, and our knowledge of testing equipment such as valves, fittings, HPU’s, as well as data acquisition systems and methods of data interpretation. This combination of skills enables the development and implementation of detailed testing protocols that have assisted our clients to succeed in their testing programs for both evolution of existing technology and the development of novel technology, Key Services Outline qualification testing requirements Development of qualification testing plan and procedures (to ABS/DNV process for new technology) Test fixture design and fabrication Identification of testing facilities Identification and sourcing of testing instrumentation and monitoring Review of third party testing procedures Qualification test costing and scheduling Witness/oversight of third party testing Project Experience Total – Moho Nord TLP TTRs threaded and coupled connector make and break qualification testing Chevron – Big Foot SCR weld qualification and test planning Chevron – Tahiti SCR strain gauge qualification test planning Weatherford – Noble Bully II drilling riser crossover adaptor qualification testing BP – Horn Mountain TTR threaded & coupled connector and mid-joint weld fatigue qualification testing TRF JIP – Threaded & coupled connector fatigue performance testing Chevron – Tahiti SCR and flowline fatigue performance in a sour environment Chevron – Tahiti NDT sizing accuracy qualification program STRIDE JIP – VIV suppression system performance tests STRIDE JIP – Fatigue performance testing of reeled pipe DeepStar – Drilling riser damping testing Chevron 20M – Weld qualification of line pipe Share this page Share on FacebookShare on LinkedinShare on Twitter Services Deepwater Production Systems Riser Concept Engineering Steel Lazy Wave & Catenary Risers Top Tensioned Risers Hybrid Risers Flexible Risers, Flowlines & Umbilicals Composite Risers Subsea Flowlines & Jumpers Subsea Umbilicals System Verification & CVA Integrity, Life Extension & Monitoring Riser Integrity & Life Extension Subsea Wellhead System & Life Extension Machine Learning for Riser Engineering Riser System Digital Twin Riser Monitoring System Engineering Riser Inspection, Maintenance & Repair Subsea Incident Engineering Fracture Mechanics and ECA Offshore Renewables & Alternative Resources Fixed Offshore Wind Floating Offshore Wind Moorings & Anchors HV Cable Engineering Deep Sea Mining Drilling, Completion & Workover Drilling Risers Drilling Riser Management Subsea Completion & Workover Risers Subsea Wellheads & Conductors Offshore Platform Conductors Platform Well Integrity & Life Extension Well Engineering Well Plug & Abandonment Minimum Facility Platforms Conductor Supported Wellhead Platforms & CoSMOS Monopile Wellhead Platforms Exploration to Early Production Systems Structural Engineering Services Installation Engineering Decommissioning Engineering Riser Delivery Management Component Detailed Design Mechanical Connectors Systems & Qualification Testing Related TECHNICAL PAPER Deepwater Production TTR Design See all Technical Papers TECHNICAL PAPER The Need for Standardising Deepwater Riser Systems?
