Offshore Mooring System - SPM Offshore mooring systems are generally classified to SPM (Single Point Mooring) or MSM (Multi Spread Mooring). The main purpose of using them is to transfer hydrocarbons between onshore or offshore hosts and the moored tanker. SPMs are considered more economical than MSM, but they require a large anchorage area to avoid interference with other assets and vessels. Regarding SPM, it's connected to vessel to let her to weathervane into the dominant weather conditions that she will be able to align herself with wind, waves and current. SPM is basically utilised in areas where a dedicated hosts for loading and unloading hydrocarbons isn't available. It locates away from onshore and is being connected by subsea pipelines. It works as a link between onshore plants and the tankers for loading and offloading hydrocarbons. SPM systems have some types and each one has its own properties and the transferred fluid through: 1. Buoy Mooring System ( CALM - Spar - CALRAM - SALM - ELSBM) 2. Turret Mooring System (Internal and External) 3. Tower Mooring System. Buoy body of SPM is floated over sea surface has a rotating part which connects to vessel, while this part allows vessel to be stable at its location around the buoy. Vessel is moored to the buoy by a thick rope shacked to an integrated hook on the buoy deck.

Exciting advancements in Single Point Mooring (SPM) technology for hydrocarbon transfer between offshore storage units and tankers! The SafePilot Offshore SPM feature enhances operations with alarm and speed zones, closing distances, and heading off the buoy. Plus, it offers hawser tension monitoring and emergency release functions for top-notch safety and efficiency. Embracing these innovations leads to safer, more streamlined offshore operations. #OffshoreTech #MaritimeSafety #SPM https://lnkd.in/dWZAwiDi

⚓ Streamlining Offshore Operations: The Role of Karmfork and Stern Roller on AHTS Vessels 🚢 Anchor Handling Tug Supply (AHTS) vessels are the backbone of offshore oil and gas operations, and karmfork and stern roller are two critical tools that make these vessels efficient and reliable. 🛠 What They Do: 🔹 Karmfork: A hydraulically operated device that secures and guides anchor chains with precision, ensuring smooth and safe handling during deployment or retrieval. 🔹 Stern Roller: A robust cylindrical roller at the vessel's stern that supports and guides heavy equipment, reducing friction and protecting the deck during operations. 🌊 Why They Matter: Enhance safety by controlling high-tension chains and wires. Optimize efficiency in complex offshore anchor handling and mooring tasks. Minimize wear and tear on both equipment and vessel decks. Together, these components ensure AHTS vessels deliver top performance in demanding offshore environments. 📢 Offshore professionals, how have innovations in anchor handling equipment impacted your projects?

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement AIR Published 10 Dec. Cantium & Enterprise Offshore Drilling. Drilling 101...Fail. Travelling block struck the crown saver assembly. Human Performance Error – DR1 and FH1 were not paying attention to the task of POOH with drill pipe to check the COM and rack back the stand. Management system – Inadequate hazard analysis of the traveling block contacting the crown block. Equipment failure - The barrel of the COM was not set properly. This allowed the drill line to move past the COM resulting in the the traveling block striking the crown block. #iadc #iwcf #offshoreoilandgas #jackup #drillingcontractor

#A_subsurface_safety_valve (SSSV) is a downhole safety device installed in a well that can be closed in emergencies. An emergency may arise on or around a well from equipment failure, human error, collision with an offshore facility by a third-party vessel, fire, leaks, or sabotage. The main reason for using a downhole subsurface safety valve is to protect the site and off-site personnel, surface facilities (especially on offshore rig installations), the environment, and the reservoir. This reason has even more significant implications for wells drilled and completed in geologically or politically unstable areas and potential war zones. It also provides general protection against any ‘what if’ scenari A secondary use of an SSSV is that it may be considered a barrier in well plugging to allow conducting remedial well operations to the Christmas tree or removing the tree for rig operations (Types of drilling rigs), provided it has been satisfactorily leak tested.

Thoughts are with the families of the nine workers injured yesterday in the blaze that struck Pemex platform, located in the southern Gulf of Mexico, where most of Pemex oil output originates (Campeche, MX). Five of the nine were Pemex employees while the rest were contractors from local service providers. Tho, all our attention is turned to Pemex today, this is an invitation to check the Asset Management program (including risks, incident management, post incident investigation etc of every one of our plants… 🤐 Do you have any asset in your plant that can cause 9 people to be severely injured? 🤕- how are you managing these? 🤐 All I can say is: We can do better 😖…. 🤐 #accident #safetyaccident #explosion #platafroma #oilandgas #platformblast #oilplatform #infinitygrowth Materials.Business #assetintegrity #assetmanagement #accidentcontrol Lina Hernandez

Maintenance and inspection are critical to the long-term condition of tubular assets. When assets return from demanding offshore operations, Ramco Pipe Care cleans, inspects, and guarantees each pipe is fully functional and safe before returning any inventory for future deployments. Taking the time to inspect an asset's condition helps guarantee its condition and longevity while preparing it for the next call-off. #OCTG #Drilling #TubularCleaning
