PRODUCT OVERVIEW TURNKEY ASSEMBLES VIPER SUBSEA SPECIALISES IN THE PROVISION OF OPTIMISED TECHNICAL AND COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE SUPPLY OF SUBSEA CONTROLS DISTRIBUTION EQUIPMENT. Key Benefits: A single purchase order can cover a complete distribution system Systems benefit from embedding Viper proprietary technology, including V-IR and V-LOCK Experienced project team, focused on distribution equipment, ensures best practice and lessons learned are applied to all projects V-LOCK THE V-LOCK IS A MARKET LEADING HYDRAULIC STABPLATE WITH WIDE MAKE-UP TOLERANCES TO FACILITATE EASY AND QUICK INSTALLATION BY ROV. Key Benefits: Reduced ROV intervention times due to compact size, lightweight design and outstanding make-up misalignment capability. Reliable and robust secondary release system not reliant on any form of shearing mechanism reduces risk of accidental damage due to over-torquing. Features to mitigate against calcareous and coral cementation. Zero Float Fixed Plate Couplings increase integrity and reduce UTA size
V-LIM THE V-LIM MONITORS THE INSULATION RESISTANCE, CAPACITANCE AND ELECTRICAL INTEGRITY OF SUBSEA ELECTRICAL UMBILICALS AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS Key Benefits: Continuous monitoring provides real-time trending When combined with Viper Subsea s LIMBO analysis time to failure predictions can be made Interface modules allow for easy replacement of legacy equipment Determine fault locations when combined with the use of the V-SLIM and V-NET systems Compatible with V-LIFE technology Continuous integral data logging V-SLIM THE V-SLIM IS A SUBSEA ELECTRONICS NODE THAT MEASURES A RANGE OF ELECTRICAL INTEGRITY DATA AND TRANSMITS IT BACK TO THE SURFACE. Key Benefits: Provides high reliability integrity monitoring for brown-field and green-field systems Facilitates planned maintenance Mitigates repair costs and unplanned production loss
ASSET INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT Viper Subsea provides a comprehensive service managing existing installed subsea control systems on behalf of the operator. In particular, the electrical integrity of umbilicals, cables, connectors, and distribution equipment has proven to be a real cause of concern with subsea controls equipment. Viper Subsea has extensive practical experience, theoretical knowledge and analysis tools to be able to predict and mitigate against failures in subsea control systems, as well as implement long-term condition monitoring programmes.
ASSET INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES V-IR THE V-IR LOCATES SUBSEA ELECTRICAL FAULTS AND FACILITATES PLANNED MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS THEREBY IMPROVING OPERATING EFFICIENCY Key Benefits: Provides high reliability integrity monitoring for brownfield and greenfield systems Facilitates planned maintenance Mitigates repair costs and unplanned production loss V-LIM V-NET V-SLIM
V-LIFE THE V-LIFE REVERSES THE EFFECTS OF WATER INGRESS TO ELECTRICAL CABLES DEFERRING OR ELIMINATING THEIR REPLACEMENT Key Benefits: Reverses the effects of water ingress into electrical cables and equipment Extends the life of failing umbilicals: Buys time while a new umbilical is procured Used instead of installing a new umbilical Postpones field abandonment Increases technical margins to allow additional wells to be added Rejuvenates other subsea distribution equipment and components SAIMS RISK BASED CONTROL SYSTEM INTEGRITY MANAGEMENT TO MAXIMISE YOUR OPERATING EFFICIENCY. The Management includes:- Reacting to system failures Advising our client Finding and implementing solutions Compiling annual Condition Assessments Managing support from the OEM Recording changes to the system Our methodology is risk based for driving integrity management actions (planned maintenance, spares holding, subsea inspections, health care monitoring, obsolescence management).
CONSULTANCY With extensive experience in subsea systems, controls and umbilicals, we can offer engineering support and consultancy throughout the project lifecycle, including: Carrying out feasibility and FEED studies Complete subsea distribution system design, including hydraulic, optical, and electrical analyses Preparing technical documents including specifications, test and commissioning procedures Procurement support including preparation of tender documents, evaluation of tenders, vendor audits Detail equipment design (electrical, mechanical, optical, hydraulic) Third party test witnessing Safety critical systems consultancy, in particular subsea HIPPS
