Specific Tests Conducted during Pipeline Pre-Commissioning

Hydrostatic Testing:

Rigorous hydrostatic tests are performed to evaluate the integrity and strength of subsea pipelines, ensuring they withstand operating pressures without leaks or deformations.

Leak Testing:

Highly sensitive leak detection tests are executed to pinpoint and rectify any potential leaks within the pipeline or umbilical systems, ensuring operational reliability.

Drying and Dewatering:

Specialized drying and dewatering techniques are employed to remove moisture and prevent corrosion within the pipeline systems, optimizing performance and longevity.

Flooding, Cleaning and Gauging:

Thorough cleaning and gauging processes are conducted to eliminate debris, scale, or obstructions, ensuring unimpeded flow and optimal functionality.

Chemical Treatment:

Application of corrosion inhibitors and protective coatings to mitigate corrosion risks and enhance the longevity of subsea pipeline

Pressure Testing:

Stringent pressure tests are conducted to validate the structural integrity and performance of the pipelines under operational conditions.

Specific Tests Conducted during Umbilical Pre-Commissioning

CR (Continuity Resistance) Test:

Conducted to verify the continuity and resistance of conductors within the umbilical, ensuring seamless connectivity and functionality.

IR (Insulation Resistance) Test:

Measures the insulation resistance between conductors and the umbilical structure to ascertain the insulation integrity, minimizing the risk of electrical faults.

TDR (Time Domain Reflectometry):

Utilized to locate and assess impedance variations or faults along the length of the umbilical, aiding in pinpointing potential issues for rectification.

OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometry):

Specifically employed for fiber optics within umbilicals, assessing optical fiber continuity and identifying any breaks or signal loss.

HIPOT (High Potential) Test:

Validates the insulation integrity by applying high voltage to the umbilical to assess its ability to withstand high potentials without breakdown.

Attenuation Test:

Measures signal loss or attenuation in the transmission of electrical or optical signals through the umbilical, ensuring signal quality and integrity.
