Riser Pull-In Winch Survey, Service and Recommission On-board the Snorre B Platform

We recently won a contract to survey, service and recommission the Riser Pull-in Winch onboard the Snorre B Platform.

We deployed a Technical Specialist to survey the winch, and Hydraulic and Electrical Technicians to troubleshoot and operate the winch for further inspection work. Our Hydraulic and Mechanical Technicians then stripped the main drive components off the winch for servicing, which was completed offshore.

Our Engineering Team designed and planned a bespoke spooling system that integrates in the offshore setup. We also provided offshore technicians and operators to rebuild the winch and  the spooling equipment rented from us.

Currently, our ACE Hire Personnel division have 12 operators in 2/4 shift rotation operating the riser pull in system on the rig.

The Snorre development is in the Tampen area of the Norwegian North Sea and has been producing oil and gas since 1992. It encompasses two platforms: A and B. Oil from platform B is piped for 45km to Statfjord where it is stored and then exported.
