BJ Services Company has completed a major contract to provide precommissioning services for Technip on the MA-D6 oilfield development offshore India. The oilfield is located in the Krishna Godavari Basin in the Bay of Bengal South East offshore Kakinada.

BJ Services was awarded a contract by Technip in January 2008 to supply a range of precommissioning services. The scope of the project required the company to plan and manage several different phases, including initial engineering and project management services designed to complete the work within a tight timeframe. Hydraulic and electrical testing of both dynamic and infield umbilicals was carried out during pre-installation, installation, overboarding and post-installation phases of the operation. BJ’s pipeline precommissioning specialists carried out cleaning, flooding and pressure testing of the 8-in. production infield flowlines. In addition, the 6-in. gas injection riser was cleaned, flooded, pressure-tested and treated with mono ethylene glycol (MEG). The fast-track operation was carried out efficiently and completed on schedule.
