Client: Major Oil and Gas company          
Industry: Oil & Gas
Asset: Offshore production platform
Location: Qatar
Year: 2024

Challenge

The client required flare lines to be replaced on one of their offshore production platforms due to corrosion. As the replacement had to be completed during a short shutdown period, meticulous planning was essential to ensure that the work was carried out safely and efficiently.

Solution

Axess Dubai and Axess KSA cooperated to execute the project. First, a customised lifting plan suitable for tower operations was developed. Once the client approved the lifting plan and other technical documentation, the equipment was immediately prepared in Saudi Arabia and Dubai. All equipment underwent inspection in Qatar before being mobilised offshore. Simultaneously, personnel were mobilised offshore on short notice, after completing several client-specific training sessions.

Results

The project was completed within a tight timeline, with zero incidents and positive feedback from the client. This brought the total number of completed flare replacement projects in Qatar to seven.

“I am proud that we were able to provide safe and timely support to the client, meeting their expectations, and completing the project within the defined shutdown period. This accomplishment highlights our engineering expertise in developing complex lifting plans and executing them flawlessly,” Ravi Mishra, Regional Director – Middle East at Axess Group said.
