A midstream company operating a high pressure gas pipeline required assessment services in order to maintain regulatory compliance. The said pipeline asset was considered unpiggable for ILI technology. In order to comply with regulatory guidelines for an MAOP verification, the company demanded a hydrostatic pressure test assessment.

An established operator in the Gulf of Mexico, through their preferred contractor, requested BlueFin to perform the dewatering of the flowlines for their two new tiebacks to an existing deepwater facility.

BlueFin Model A manifold systems are designed for high pressure, multiple line flushing and pressure testing.

Planning and project management across a single source provide bundled solutions that deliver cost effective and schedule sensitive services for three separate Central Gathering Facilities (CGF’s) on an expedited timeline for first oil.

Provided complete hydrate blockage remediation support from initial onshore Engineering Assessment to execution planning and eventual successful field execution using nitrogen.

A Gulf of Mexico (GoM) operator in the process of decommissioning one of its fields requested the engineering assessment of a blockage existing in their flowline-riser. The reservoir fluid characteristics and the field’s operational history were extensively reviewed. The review indicated hydrates to be the likely cause of the blockage.

Custom solvent products and flow assurance engineering provide total approach to plugged GoM pipeline.

LiquiGel® pig maps internal pipeline geography and provides target area for remediation pill with no shut-in required.

A West Africa field operator witnessed an abnormal increase in pressure topsides when the flowline circulation pump was used to pump dead oil into the production line. No increase in subsea pressure was observed. Operational history prior to blockage hinted at the possibility of the presence of one or both wax and hydrate blockages in the production line. Depressurization options were limited by the blocked gas lift line.
