Cakerawala Flare Tip Exchange 2024

Описание: Carigali Hess contracted the flare tip specialists of Conbit to perform a major overhaul of the flare system at the Central Processing Platform at the Cakerawala field.

The scope comprised the replacement of the complete flare tip access platform, the permeate flare tip, two HP flare tips, two headers of the HP flare tips and a manifold.

Conbit uses a modular lifting system to perform lifts that regular cranes cannot reach. In this case of flare tip replacements, the lifting system is erected on top of the flare tip access platform. The flare tip access platform needed to be replaced, and so Conbit's engineers had to find a different solution. A unique base frame was designed to connect to the side of the flare tower.

The lifting system is operated by winches, which remain at deck level. Items that were replaced were lifted directly to and from a supply vessel.

A record of six winches were mobilized: two high speed main lift winches, two luffing winches and two service winches. The winches were powered by generators and powerpacks, ensuring this was a standalone operation.
