Rig Maintenance
Over the years it has became obvious that clients in the drilling industry not only demand value for money from the contractors, but require proof of continuous good rig machinery performance with minimum downtime due to mechanical or electrical failures.
This preventative maintenance
scheme has been developed by maintenance and drilling engineers, people
who have had a lot of planning and hands on experience over many years
in the industry. It has been designed to adapt to almost any drilling
rig in a generic fashion, but leaves plenty of scope for customizing
to individual drilling units. By using this system drilling contractors
will not only benefit from an operational point of view, it can be
seen as historical proof that the contractor is determined to provide
the client with the utmost in service and reliability. The program is
based on Microsoft Excel. The program comes in the form of two separate
modules:
PM Schedule, this module is for the head quarters office to devise and maintain the Preventative Maintenance Schedule. This module also gives the user access to all the pre formatted PM Maintenance Forms.
Rig Maintenance Forms. This module is for the Rig based maintenance personnel giving full guide lines on all equipment checks and testing.
In each module Maintenance Forms, (in all 64 forms some in part 1 and
2) can be printed and faxed or emailed to the head quarters office. In
addition all forms have the option to be exported to a rig maintenance
file or custom data base.The individual forms within the PM package are,
self explanatory, once completed either by PC or hard copy, they can
be maintained by head office, maintenance personnel or any other interested
party. Equipment transferred from one rig to another is recorded.In this
respect a remarks section is provided on all forms.
Over time it will be proved that the percentage of downtime due to mechanical/electrical
failure will be offset against time taken to pursue preventive maintenance. This
is what the DSW maintenance system will prove to all concerned.
The hours recorded
for machinery maintenance will provide the user with a method for determining
future PM scheduling for any piece of equipment.
