The collapse of RIG 110....Here we go!

[16 cycles]

Generally, shallow hazard assessment has to be done within 8yrs of drilling and screened for shallow gas, sinkholes, faults etc.

Load bearing structures must have geotechnical surveys done for proposed depth of penetration of legs and risk of punch through.

Drill loads on cantilever should not exceed the hook loads specified by rig builder.

Weight of rig would land it under particular vessel classifications together with flag of vessel and country of operation as well as Client to dictate frequency and type of audits for safe operation.

A lot of people have to put their house in order.

[pugboy]

what kind of rig is it?
is it old rig that still producing and some small operator took it over ?
or is it a new drilling rig

[Cantmis]

Production and drilling are 2 different things

That 110 was hailed in press a few yrs ago doing work for DeNovo

The owner of the company Charlie Brash couldn't care less, he has other businesses including a firearms and security company and his kids are into the chocolate industry. Plus he is into lease out farm out operations on land. He could pay for damages and shut down this offshore rig section completely

Correct .They have also been responsible for all Of the drilling done in trinmar /heritage for quite some time now. Looks like Heritage petroleum’s 2025 drilling campaign is not looking too promising anymore .Quite a shame as it would
Have been a much needed boost for the production output that has been dwindling as off recently in their offshore acreage .That entire cluster that the derrick now lays on is comprised of a number of new wells recently drilled I believe . Looks like those are gonna be down for quite sometime. Demobilization of the rig from that location in that condition is probably going to be a huge headache . Heavy lift barge kinda deal most likely as it looks like the legs are kinked which will prevent jacking .

Looks like another commission of inquiry coming...

Why is the news still reporting that one person is unaccounted for??

I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU RE-READ THIS VERY VERY SLOWLY.

Better yet, start from the top of page 1 and come all the way down.

Then you will understand.

The Offshore Welfare facilties (Toilets, Showers, lockers, etc) are very delapidated and unsafe to use on ALL Heritage Offshore Platforms and offshore Locations. Offshore workers have to literally piss off the Platforms into the open sea, to empty their bladders.

.... The showers are also delapidated, and offshore workers are unable to take any Showers (and there's no Privacy with the delapidated Showers)

What do you expect when the unions have sold off to PNM.

Then again where is heath and safety coming from the government.

Where is the government to protect citizens

Little kants on here such as Wing & Joe said I turned this into a political chead. What I pointing out is how lackadaisical the Government is where heath and safety is concerned with citizens.

The world is watching Trinidad as a jackarse country for Oil rigs and Jack up rigs safety where workers are concerned

showers? If people knew the condition of the actual platforms ,clusters and wells offshore in the Heritage soldado fields they would be flabbergasted . Vessel landings to access the platforms and wells deteriorating to the point that many are unusable , actual wells falling into the sea , fire pumps on a number of platforms non functional , major compressors on platforms breaking down all over , Oil spills are kept hush hush . Safety is touted as being priority #1 but there’s absolutely nothing safe about the work environment down there and heritage is quick to pull themselves out of every and any incident that occurs. Petty Politics and bureaucracy play a major part in all of this . Heritage has millions upon millions to spend on infrastructure upgrades and maintenance and if they don’t get their act together you can bet your bottom dollar we”ll be hearing about some major incidents in the near future . But don’t worry I’m sure we”ll hear them beating their chests about the hundreds of millions in profits end of quarter . Just another day in paradise I guess

Does the unions do anything? I know there would be the odd representative or two that would actually speak out, but these days the unions as a whole only singing and protes... ah mean liming on a saturday

I was out on platform 14 servicing a pump recently.

One well had broken out of the casing and was moving with the waves back and forth.

Operators had actually tie strap it onto the next wellhead to restrict movement.

Like plain old regular tie strap.

And they didn't even have the big one's. They joined medium length tie straps together to go around it.

Glad everyone is safe….. in record time this thread went political. Next year will be fun **rolls eyes**

There is a clear trend of work done by govt or contractors for govt having incidents, and even fatal ones.
From the Caroni Bailey bridge truck man getting squeeze to the divers to the multiple blow outs in niquan gtl to the fire death of of the contractor in niquan gtl just before the shut down.

Saftey on govt associated places is very low.

[onroad]

Maintenance records and inspections have to be carried out

Also, if the banks funding this, they have their own people that recheck the integrity of the installation to protect their bankroll.

Again try and learn how industry works

Again I ask, you know that the PNM is to blame because inspections are not up to date? And since you know, why didn't you flag this non conformance? Or are you glad to see this so you can bray.

Every industrial industry in TT has to be certified to operate according to the time frame.

If the government is giving out certifications on faulty inspections and records, then the government's meaning PNM is to blame for.

Answer the question, you know that the inspection was not done or out of date? You know this and did nothing?

The government meaning the PNM have a lapse of inspections every since from the Caroni days.

I can tell you that from records you can detect structural faults on a time frame. This tells you that inspections were not up to date and the government was not applying pressure or upholding it

So you have access to the inspection records, saw non conformances and did nothing?

It a certificate that each industrial plant receives from government to operate.

You did not even know about it nor others

Up to now you cannot answer the question. Coward.

Have access the the pot holes, ministers, mp, councilor corporation, RDLG minister, and still can't get them fixed.

I pointed this out very early in this chead

Wing & Joe said I was turning it to a political issue.

The fact is the government meaning the PNM is responsible to see that measures are put in place and upheld by the government for the citizens.

Hopefully they can mandate extra resources due to SoE to search

[widdyphuck]

Was this guy ever found?

[sMASH]

The last article was saying they allocated more resources. That was a 2 or three days ago.


Unless he trapped in the canteen section , we hadda check he as a loss by now.. Even the temps will be too low to survive for that long continuously .

Was he the derryck operator? I can't see how everyone would be evacuated and not him, unless that was his post. The derryck is what collapsed not so? If he was still strapped in when it went, to me that's where he'd be, and only ROV's should go to verify, although at this late stage, what will be left?

[16 cycles]

Might have missed any reports on cause ..structural collapse or seafloor punch through?

Environmental fall out?

Any official responses?

[matr1x]

It tragic and a sign of Trinidad as a whole

[Val]

No reports were publicised, but I was told by someone who worked several years on that rig that a likely scenario is that lack of inspections (especially post shock events like "drill jarring" to free up stuck drill conductors) would've allowed stress fractures to go unchecked on the load bearing members on the derryck. Jarring was apparently common on Rig 110.

I do not know the facility, so I can't validate the above.

This is why I said the government is to blame. They failed on factory inspections and certifications.

A lapse government

Them rumors is prolly why info is sparse.
Another fallout from 1990...

[Val]

Even if that scenario were true, I can't see the government being the persons to blame (at least primarily).
The onus is on the asset owners, operators and even the staff on-board to insist to see due diligence performed. Every other barrier is secondary.
