Offshore Blast
Curtains

The Project

JBS were contacted by a large international O&G company to design a solution which would enable personnel to continue working on drilling operations during pressure testing of rig manifolds.

The Challenge

High pressure rig manifolds need to be pressure tested every 14 to 21 days to verify the well control barrier is in order. When conducting these operations, the rig floor is required to be cleared of personnel causing operational delays until testing is complete.

The Solution

JBS installed certified non-flammable blast and frag safety curtains to protect personnel from any potential manifold failure.
The crew were able to continue working during pressure testing therefore improving performance and reducing crew exposure.
The solution helped to identify a potential cost saving of over $4.8M in just 18 months.
Lloyds Register approval and certification of the complete blast containment system has been completed – refer Exxon Mobil & Aker Solutions Canada, Hebron and Hibernia offshore production platforms.
