    The document discusses the construction of jackets for oil and gas platforms. It begins by defining a jacket as the steel substructure that supports offshore installations, and describes typical jacket arrangements. It then outlines the processes involved in developing, implementing, documenting and maintaining a quality management system for jacket construction projects. These include developing plans like the Project Quality Plan and Quality Control Plan, as well as procedures, forms and documentation to ensure quality standards are met during the fabrication and assembly of jackets.

    Jacket Construction of Oil & Gas Platform

    Project Quality Management System on Jacket Construction of Oil and


    Gas Platform
    Here, Author would like to share about why, what and how to establish, implement,
    document, and maintain the Project Quality Management System on Construction
    Work of Jackets, as part of Wellhead Platform EPCI Project Contract for Onshore /
    Offshore Oil and Gas Field Development.
    WHAT IS JACKET OF OIL AND GAS PLATFORM ?
    There are several types of oil and gas platforms and drilling rigs in offshore fields.
    (see Picture-1, there are: 1, 2) conventional fixed platforms; 3) compliant tower; 4,
    5) vertically moored tension leg and mini-tension leg platform; 6) Spar ; 7,8) Semisubmersibles ; 9) Floating production, storage, and offloading facility (FPSO); 10)
    sub-sea completion and tie-back to host facility)

    NOAA Fisheries)
    Fixed platforms are built on concrete or steel legs, or both, anchored directly onto
    the seabed, supporting a deck with space for drilling rigs, production facilities and
    crew quarters. Fixed platforms are economically feasible for installation in water
    depths up to about 520 m (1,710 ft). Such platforms are, by virtue of their
    immobility, designed for very long term use (for instance the Hibernia platform).
    Various types of structure are used, steel jacket, concrete caisson, floating steel and
    even floating concrete.
    Steel jackets are vertical sections made of tubular steel members, and are usually
    piled into the seabed.
    A jacket is a steel substructure for an offshore installation. It is a complex
    construction, and designing one takes several months of engineering, 3D modelling,
    computations, design and method work.
    Typical Arrangement of Jacket Structure:

    Legs and braces

    Jacket frame

    Mudmat

    Anode

    Piles

    Applicable Codes/ Standards:


    STRUCTURAL

    API RP-2A, 2B, 5B, AISC etc

    AWS D1.1

    CATHODIC PROTECTION

    Applicable NACE, API, ASTM standards

    Processes and Phases in Oil and Gas Fields Development EPCI Projects :
    Processes and phases are two different aspects of project. A project may be divided
    into interdependent processes and into phases.
    Project phases divide the project life cycle into manageable sections, sch as
    conception, development. Realization and termination.
    Project processes (or Project Works) are those processes that are necessary for
    managing the project as well as those that are necessary to realize the projects
    product.
    Jacket Construction is a project processes/work of an oil and gas field development
    phase project.
    Why ?
    Question

    : Why it is necessary to manage project processes within a quality

    management system?
    Answer

    : In order to achieve project objectives.

    How to develop Project Management System for Jacket Construction ?


    ISO9001:2008 International Standard promotes the adoption of a process approach
    when developing, implementing and improving the effectiveness of a quality
    management system, to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting customer
    requirements.

    In addition, the methodology known as Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) can be applied

    to all processes.
    The project quality management system should be aligned, as far as is possible,
    with the quality management system of the originating organization (perennial
    quality management system).
    For an organization to function effectively in executing Construction Works, it has to
    determine and manage numerous linked activities by establish, implement,
    document and maintain the Project Quality Management System, such as:

    Project Manual / Project Quality Plan (PQP)

    Onshore Construction Quality Control Plan (QCP)

    Inspection and Test Plan (ITP)

    Fabrication Procedures

    Control Forms for Project

    Quality Records

    Project Quality Plan (PQP)


    Document setting out the specific quality practices, resources and sequence of
    activities relevant to a particular Product, Project or CONTRACT.
    Quality Control Plan (QCP)
    An Onshore Construction Quality Control Plan (QCP) document setting out the
    specific quality practices, resources and sequence of activities relevant to Onshore
    Fabrication/Construction activities of a particular Project or CONTRACT.
    PQP / QCP is mainly for ensuring and monitoring that the fabrication is carried out
    as per contract specifications.
    QCP outlines the Quality System for Construction/Fabrication, which will be followed
    by Contractor for the fabrication and load out of wellhead platforms infrastucture
    comprising of

    Jackets,

    Decks (Topsides),

    Jacket Weighing
    One of the most important process on jacket fabrication is Jacket Weighing. The
    weighing will be conducted at the structure final assembly location before the loadout when all components are being installed in proper position.
    The objective of the weighing is to determine:

    actual total weight of the structure

    determine its plan location of the centre of gravity

    Typical Project Documentation consists of:

    Fabrication Procedure for the project

    Shop drawings

    Document Register

    Project Schedule

    QA/QC Procedures + Certificates (Personnel & Equipment as applicable)

    HSE Procedures

    WPS/PQR/WQT documents

    Inspection & Test Plans for different disciplines

    Inspection & Test Records (ITRs)

    Material and Welding Traceability Records

    Final Documentation refer to CONTRACT Specifications / Requirements.
