Lifting Gear Survey
Safe and successful lifting operations depend, in large
part, on the continued safety of the lifting equipment and
accessories that are used. Failures in this kind of
equipment can result in significant or even fatal injuries.
Health and safety law therefore places a number of
specific obligations on those providing, controlling and
using lifting equipment to properly manage these risks.

䇾Tubetrack䇿 Innovative Reporting
Solutions
• Tubetrack is used for tracking the history of tubular and which can help client
to monitor the condition of its tubular at any point of time.
• Tubetrack is an online web based system which can be accessed from
anywhere and does not need installation on the client's computer.
• Traditional form of giving reports doesn䇻t allow the client to have a look at
previous inspection records instantly and it becomes difficult for him to track
on the deterioration of the tubular happening over a period of time..
• The heart of Tubetrack lies in the different type of reports that it is able to
generate. The client at any point of time can find out how many tubular are
currently due for inspection or he can even check how many tubular are
getting due for inspection in a particular month. This way he can plan and
schedule his inspection program.
• Tubetrack also has query based reports wherein one can key in the criteria's
and based on that criteria's list of tubular matching the criteria's are displayed.
This can be really helpful in planning for purchases of new tubular and also
for the Rig managers to check on which all pipes he can use and which all are
on borderline of rejection which he can keep separate and use it if necessary.

26
 Tubetrack
A Comprehensive Online Reporting
System
History
“Tubetrack” was conceived as an alternate reporting format to
help the Industry keep track of its tubular in a much efficient
manner, the Industry with its challenges on day to day basis had
to have information instant which saves COST for all involved.

Tubular reports, a vital input to a successful drilling campaign

had its difficulties with conventional reporting which resulted in
number of sheets, where keeping track of your vital asset was
rather impossible and cumbersome.

Tubetrack resolves issues considerably offering a Client a

relatively Paper free environment and better tracking of its
tubular – a fact truly appreciated by Industry Majors.

28
Tubetrack features…

• Web based reporting system for Drill pipe / Drill collar / HWDP / Lifting Gear
and Drops Survey

• Accessible anytime anywhere through web browser

• Rig personnel can download signed reports and help in managing paperwork

• Gives client access to complete history of inspection of each tubular inspected.

• Inspections can be planned advance as it gives details of tubular getting due

for inspection

• Exhaustive query based reporting to find out pipes matching certain criteria
– this can help inventory planning i.e. purchase of new tubular

RIG INSPECTION

44
Rig Inspection
• Rig inspection is a critical component in drilling a well and it is an integral part
of preparation to spud a well

• Interruptions in drilling operations due to improper or malfunctioning

equipment is a cause of expensive NPT which is avoidable

• Proper and appropriate rig inspections before acceptance of the rig, before
the well is spud and follow up surveys during operations are critical to reduce
downtime, increase reliability and safety and allow adequate environmental
management and further to reduce NPT time related costs

• TubeStar, already in inspection business for more than 2 decades for

tubulars, handling equipment, DROPS etc integrated the Rig Inspection to the
existing capabilities in Q4, 2012 through a team of highly experienced drilling
personnel and inspectors

45
Rig Inspection
• Tubestar gained the rig inspection experience through a tie-up with Fact-O-
Rig for the last 5 years

• Tubestar had developed a complete rig inspection package with systems,

policies, procedures, inspection models such that a comprehensive
inspection solution can be provided to the industry in a most effective
manner

• Tubestar rig inspectors are highly qualified drilling and maintenance

personnel with lot of direct hands on experience in running and managing
rigs and inspection of the rigs from construction to upgrade to operational
management

• Tubestar has a comprehensive rig inspection model to suit the requirements

of both Operators to hire a rig or Rig Owners to upgrade/new
construction/purchase/selling the rigs

46
Rig Inspection
• TubeStar Rig Inspection has the following range of inspection services:

– Conditional survey (full conditional survey that provides accurate insight of the equipment
status and condition and working systems)

– Fit for Purpose Acceptance Survey (depending upon the Client’s objective, a fit for purpose
survey confirms the functionality of the rig, systems, polices and procedures)

– Upgrade and New Construction (to be part of the Clients to ensure that the rig upgrade or
new construction complies with all safety and operations standards)

– Compliance and Functionality Survey (to evaluate the compliance of the rig equipment,
procedures and policies to the international acceptable standards and to conform the
functionality of the equipment according to the standards and design)

– Value Evaluation and Selection Survey (to evaluate and value a rig for the purpose of either
selling or purchasing as well as for banks/financial institutes to grant project loans and also to
rank the rigs to create options to choose or select)
Note:
As part of rig inspection, Tubestar also can combine the DROPS survey

47
Rig Inspection
• Process Check and Integrity Assessment
Through our partners..
– This is one of the most critical aspect for drilling and delivering a reliable well

– This survey is developed by one of the most experienced industry person (especially after the
Macondo incident in GOM) that provides a complete survey on the process (in addition to all
the surveys on equipment) along with a complete integrity assessment of the Rig’s Well
Control and High Pressure Systems.

– The survey is based on an Unique Model called “Well Reliability” and is provided only by
Tubestar currently

– The model understands the gaps existing between the condition of the equipment,
appropriateness and conformance of the equipment, integration of the equipment to process
and procedures, competence of personnel to implement the systems and assess the overall
integrity of the Well Control and High Pressure Systems

Note:
If required, a separate presentation can be made on the above by the Expert who developed this
model
