2. TOTAL “COMMISSIONING” ACTIVITY
Success in handing over a completely commissioned facility (such as a Drilling Rig
or FPSO) to the operator, whether a new build or modification, is contingent upon
the completion of numerous phases of the project, from the front end design and
engineering through fabrication and final commissioning.
Before final hook-up and installation of an FPSO can be accomplished, three
interrelated phases are undertaken :-
Mechanical Completion
Pre- Commissioning
and Commissioning
Planning for them is critical to the schedule adherence, cost containment,
successful installation and ultimate handoff for operation of the facility.

7. MECHANICAL COMPLETION DEFINITION
To be mechanically complete, the construction activities on a specific portion of the
project, such as the topsides, have been completed and accepted by the appropriate
parties. In most instances, it is an integral part of the transition from construction
into the pre-commissioning phase, but Mechanical Completion has specific
attributes that lend themselves to being separately planned and conducted.
Mechanical Completion, as the final phase of construction is, mostly undertaken by
area or by discipline and is performed by construction-type personnel with
participation from specialized equipment suppliers, the engineering firm, and
other contractors as needed.
It involves fabrication, assembly and non-functional testing to confirm the integrity
of the construction and installation.
To verify that a facility is mechanically completed, inspection or an oversight team
must ensure that the final construction is in accordance with the project drawings,
specifications, industry standards as well as all regulatory requirements from the
authorities having jurisdiction.
8. WHAT MECHANICAL COMPLETION (MC) ENTAILS (Example FPSO)
The MC phase addresses structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation
and automation as well as topsides interfaces with export pipelines and subsea
flow lines.
Each of these areas needs to be thoroughly confirmed as complete, tested to the
applicable codes and turned over with documentation to the Pre-
Commission/Commissioning team as mechanically complete.
During this phase of the work, depending on the regulatory agencies involved and
the area of installation,the authority having jurisdiction (USCS, BOEMER, UK DECC,
NPD, ABS, DNV, etc.), will be involved in many aspects of the testing and approvals to
allow the project to proceed further.
9. STRUCTURAL, MECHANICAL AND PIPING
Mechanical Completion of the structural, mechanical and piping portion of the
project includes, but is not limited to :-
Verification that the piping systems, mechanical equipment and their supporting
structure are installed, non-destructively examined, hydrostatically tested and
flushed clean. Equipment and piping which required stress analysis and the
resulting line stops, piping spring hangers, anchors, guides, etc, should be verified
that installation is in accordance with the design data. Rotating equipment,
including specialized larger pumps, compressors, generators and engine driven
equipment, are handled differently.

11. ELECTRICAL
Verification of the electrical installation / construction is more complicated, as much
of it is field routed for best fit. In addition to normal inspection of each of the cables
and wiring, all terminations should be validated for the quality and accuracy of the
installation.
Some areas of inspection during this phase include, but are not limited to, cable and
tray support, tray fill, grounding, integrity, stress cone installation for medium and
high voltage cable, terminations, continuity and megger testing, as well as checking
the bend radius of the final installation and tie down.

12. INSTRUMENTATION
Mechanical Completion for instrumentation systems includes validation of the
instruments, valves and valve operators compared to the original design data to assure
that process flow conditions will be met. As with the electrical MC, all wiring will need
to be verified, inspected for continuity and insulation as well as loop checks for
confirmation to the automation system. Both hydraulic and pneumatic tubing will be
cleaned, flushed and pressure tested to assure that there are no leaks and that
cleanliness meets required quality for the system it controls.
INSTRUMENTS / TELECOMS
Calibration and testing of instruments prior to installation

Area completion • Preservation
14. HANDOVER
Ideally, with good planning, inspection and engineering interface, the project’s
construction phase will conclude with a successful mechanical completion.
Upon conclusion of Mechanical Completion activities, a certificate should be
issued stating that the relevant inspections and tests have been carried out
according to the contract.
All of the support documentation and redline drawings and documents should be
attached. The certificate will be accompanied by the punch list if the sail dates
don’t allow completion of all MC activities prior to moving to the next location.
17. PRE-COMMISSIONING (PC)
Effective Pre-Commissioning planning and initiation of PC activities provide a
necessary bridge between earlier project execution phases, including
Mechanical Completion, and the final commissioning and start-up of the facility.
PC can be an essential mark between the transition from a discipline-based
approach to one that verifies the functionality of systems, regardless of their
location on the facility.
The planning required for an efficient Pre-Commissioning (PC) of an offshore
facility is typically started during the early stages of detail design and
commences immediately after Mechanical Completion (MC) has been achieved,
which itself follows the engineering design and construction phases.
18. PRE-COMMISSIONING IS SYSTEMS DRIVEN
Whereas Mechanical Completion includes the non-functional testing of equipment
to confirm the integrity of its fabrication and installation to the intended design,
Pre-Commissioning verifies the mechanical completion, the functionality of the
system as well as calibration of the instrumentation to the facilities controls and
control systems.
While MC is completed by AREA or DISCIPLINE, the Pre-Commissioning phase will
be turned over to specialists who can address confirmation by SYSTEM, ensuring
that it is complete and ready for final Commissioning and start-up.
19. This phase can best commence efficiently after all of the components are in place
so that systems, rather than individual pieces, can be verified. The PC contractor
also engages the design engineering firm, vendors, manufacturers and operating
personnel for support and their expertise.
During the Pre-Commissioning effort, there can be many activities completed
during the onshore phase and then moved offshore for completion of the system
check-out.
Where practical :-
Piping should be power flushed and dried;
Communication systems tested to the fullest extent possible;
Instrument and electrical loops will be verified;
Instruments will undergo initial and final calibration;
Pumps can be operated where possible;
Motors verified for proper rotation and can be run and tested;
Rotating equipment can receive initial (cold) alignments.
20. ORGANISATION AND PLANNING ARE KEY
The selection of a Pre-Commissioning team is one of the most important
milestones that will need to be addressed. The team will be responsible for
planning and supplying the critical support and leadership during this project
phase.
The leadership as well as team members should, therefore, be experienced with
the planning, tasks, schedule and project drivers regarding start-up, as well as its
complexities.
21. Reference data provided by engineering and the other delivery teams will
need to be organized by the PC contractor according to the identified systems
and should reside in a location accessible to all who will be utilizing it.
Data includes, but is not limited to, PFDs, P&IDs, mechanical, electrical motor
and ISA data sheets, instrument and electrical loop drawings, wiring plans
and elevations for skids and modules, as well as the manufacturer’s final data
manuals for purchased equipment.
A potential shortcoming is in not obtaining the interface data from outside of
the topsides delivery team, e.g. subsea, export pipeline, communications, hull
fabricators equipment.
The key will be to provide a conscious effort to close these gaps early within
the project so as not to impact the planned start-up date.
22. The PC work normally is broken down into discreet, manageable systems. The
systems are separated according to the logical process flow, rather than by a
package vendor.
For example, a heat media system might include a fired unit, heat recovery unit,
storage unit and pumps, along with interconnect piping, instrumentation, controls
and electrical, all of which have likely been supplied by different vendors and reside
on separate skids. This systems breakdown is the logical process to verify
construction, confirm the integrity of the design, and prepare the system for
handover to operations as the phase goes forward.
The organization also allows for the commissioning of sub-systems within a system,
without having to initiate work on the entire system. This avoids having to work
around a finish to start on a system scenario, thus pushing the overall startup
schedule past the desired outcome.
The PC of utility systems is typically the first to be addressed and completed. This
allows life support for the offshore personnel in addition to minimizing the need for
additional components to PC the process systems later.
26. COMMISSIONING
Commissioning take place when Mechanical Completion / Pre-Commissioning is
completed for a system or part of a system.
Commissioning can be divided into three main activities:
Commissioning preparation
Commissioning execution
Commissioning documentation and handover to operation
Establishment of a commissioning network and definition of commissioning
packages early in a Project in order to establish fabrication/installation priorities
and milestones.
Definition of commissioning of part systems is essential in order to achieve an
early commissioning completion.
27. TYPICAL COMMISSIONING PREPARATION ACTIVITIES
The preparatory work shall consist of activities such as:
Development of commissioning organisation
Development of system breakdown (part system)
Commissioning packages definition
Commissioning schedules
Commissioning budget including spare parts for commissioning
Commissioning preparation check records
28. COMMISSIONING DOCUMENTS AND HANDOVER TO OPERATIONS
Handover of systems from Executor to project/operation shall be according to a
formal procedure which as a minimum should consist of:
Completion acceptance certificate (signed by both parties)
Commissioning P&ID showing the extent of the completed system
Authority certificates (if any)
Operational procedures and handbooks

33. LOAD TEST FOR GAS TURBINE
MANUFACTURER
After securing the order to
supply three gas turbines for a new
gas production platform, a major
turbine manufacturer contacted
Aggreko for a load test solution. Each
turbinerated at27MWwith a voltage
of 11kV 60Hz and a power factor of
0.9.LOAD BANK RENTAL
Load bank rental solution gives the customer the ability to supply load from 0 to 100%
in order to check various turbine parameters such as vibration, temperatures, fuel
consumption and performance of ventilation.
LOAD TESTING
Aggreko’s turnkey package gave the customer confidence that their equipment would
function properly. In addition, the load bank test possibly prevented an expensive
turbine failure after its installation of the gas platform at the seabed. Aggreko’s
solution alleviated our customer’s concern over equipment efficiency allowing them
to concentrate on other aspects of their project.

38. Drilling rig construction presents huge project management challenges,
particularly for a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU).
These projects involve a multitude of advanced technologies and critical
interfaces among complex systems. The history of drilling rig construction
is littered with delayed deliveries, cost overruns and mishaps that
undermine return on investment.
Sound project management is crucial to avoiding the pitfalls and adhering
to your safety, quality, schedule and budget goals.
Over the last ten years, Lloyd’s Register has been involved in the project
management and commissioning of approximately 150 new-build and major
upgrade drilling rig projects. We have accumulated a wealth of experience
and information, all captured in a knowledge database, which we can adapt
to any site or project that may arise.
39. STAVANGER, Norway - A joint report issued by Moduspec and the Athens Group at
ONS 2010 provides new insights on the causes and consequences of non-productive
time (NPT) on offshore oil and gas assets.
The report, “The State of NPT on High-Specification Offshore Assets,” found that
more attention to the commissioning stage and more resources allocated to training
are the primary opportunities to reduce NPT.
Other key findings included the following:
• NPT impact:
a. Sailing delays (departing yard) cost between $12.2 million and $73.6 million
for every rig delayed last (based on average day rate of $400,000;
a. operating (“go live”) date delays cost survey operators between $48.4 million
and $2.4 billion;
40. NPT causes:
a. yards lack the experienced personnel to fulfill responsibilities under the turnkey
model (the report cited the five major offshore yards, which went unnamed). Some
79% do not believe the yards did a better job of commissioning topsides in 2009 than
in 2008; 21% think they got worse. Taking back control of commissioning was the
number one priority of drilling contractors and operators;
b. crews lack the right skill sets/had inadequate training; and
c. difficulties in recruiting, training and retaining qualified personnel to perform
topsides risk-management, risk mitigation and problem-solving.
“Through this report, the industry has clearly identified the causes and costs of
non-productive time for their high-specification offshore assets,” said Richard
Sadler, CEO of Lloyd’s Register. “Drilling in deep water is clearly a challenge. It is
likely to become even more challenging as new shipyards enter the offshore
construction market – diluting the skills of the workforce – as the technology
becomes ever more complex and as we venture into increasingly hostile environs
to recover the remaining energy reserves.”
