Rig inspections, also known as rig audits, are conducted on drilling assets for both drilling contractors and drilling operators to assess the condition of an asset. Inspections are conducted to industry standards, such as API, as well as to specific client requirements. Rig-commissioning services involve ensuring that rig machinery and equipment are functioning properly and are in accordance with the clients requirements. Lloyds British Egypt’s highly experienced and multi-skilled personnel provide high-quality rig inspections and rig-commissioning services in the oil and gas industry. Our efficient approach enables us to reduce the number of personnel required to complete an inspection program resulting in real cost savings. Prior to each project, tailored work- scopes are prepared in accordance with the clients requirements and the type of asset being inspected (land rig, jack-up, semi-sub, drillship, etc.). This focused work-scope helps to reduce the amount of time required onsite.
Lloyds British Egypt’s clients can be confident that all our rig inspections and commissioning services are undertaken professionally and in accordance with the relevant standards, because all inspection personnel have prior supervisory-level experience on drilling assets as well as mechanical and electrical backgrounds. The high level of experience and expertise in our team enables the rapid and accurate identification of non-conforming issues and suitable corrective action to be proposed. Rig inspection, auditing and commissioning reports are available for viewing at any time via our dedicated online reporting portal. The detailed reports include categorized observations and recommendations (critical, major and minor) that help clients to prioritise corrective measures required. The rig-inspection reports also detail the rigs operational status or readiness, depending on the nature of the inspection.
