Applus+ in Indonesia completed a land drilling rig inspection at a geothermal site in East Java

The inspection was intensive and conducted with minimal disruption to the land drilling unit operation during idle periods between contracts. Applus+ provided qualified personnel, equipment necessary for the inspection, and a load-out list with the proposed land drilling rig details for this project.

The whole condition survey program comprehensively inspects various aspects of the drilling rig. The survey covered multiple areas, including drilling equipment, mud system, BOP and well control equipment, electrical equipment, power plant, safety equipment, maintenance system, and spare parts. Each section is tailored to the rig type and involves a thorough inspection and review of all relevant components and systems.

The crew on site also helped open the critical equipment to verify that it was kept in a safe and reliable working condition. The inspection analysed the drilling unit's equipment condition per API standards and manufacturers' recommendations. We also evaluated the Preventive Maintenance System's efficiency and checked for proper installation and functioning of safety devices to prevent accidents and equipment failures. 

Rig inspection ensures that the rig operates safely and reliably under industry standards and regulations and identifies any potential issues that may need to be addressed. By conducting a full review of maintenance programs and spare parts availability, inspection helps assure that the rig is maintained according to the client's requirements and is always ready for operation. Early detection of problems with equipment or systems or discrepancies prevents project delays and avoids start-up problems, resulting in cost savings.
