cialty, have been designed for use in the Gulf of Mexico, Trinidad, South America, China, Brazil, Qatar
and West African locations.
Our Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering Department has designed power generation con-
trol and distribution systems for large offshore platforms and onshore plants, sizes ranging up to 10
MW, as well as instrument specifications, design, and programming for pneumatic and electronic con-
trols, MMI systems, flow computers, PLC, and DCS systems.

Recertification of salvaged Jacket and Deck from South Timbalier Block 265 for reuse. Jacket was extended from 196 ft. to 220 ft. water depth. Deck legs were extended to raise deck above wave zone and Cellar Deck extension was added for additional equipment. Updated existing Mechanical Flowsheets, Equipment Layouts, Safety De-vice Location Drawings and Area Classification Drawings per field walk down of equipment. Made modifications to the Mechanical Flowsheets, SAFE Charts, Equipment Layouts, Safety Device Location Drawings and Area Classification Drawings for the addition of Glycol Dehydration, Gas Pipeline Launcher and Sewage Treatment Unit as well as for various equipment removals and modifications.

• 760 - FT. WATER DEPTH
Structural analysis of 6-leg drilling/ production platform in 760 ft. water depth to support Nabors Rig 201 (2000 hp). The jacket has 16 skirt piles and 30 well slots. Deck Extensions to accommodate drill rig, quarters, and associated equipment. Complete walk down of all process and utility skids and pip-ing. Revised and issued “As-Built” P&ID’s and Safety Flows. Conducted complete 14C review of existing safety system and SAFE Charts. Created “As-Builts” of Layouts, Safety Device Drawings and Area Class. Created model of platform relief and atmospheric piping and con-ducted relief system analysis, including atmospheric vent, backpressure calculations of relief piping and component capacities. Blowdown analysis and calculation of “worst case” emergency rate for the sizing and installation of new flare tip. Evaluated relief components for adequate relief capacities and discharge piping for adequate size. Pulled dimensions and created isometric drawings for process and utility piping additions to multiple areas of the platform and new well flowlines. Conducted electrical load study for platform equipment. Installed new backup generator and associated wiring.
Structural modification to add a solar turbine centrifugal compressor with ancillaries, gas coolers and MCC building. This required main and cellar deck extensions that were fabricated in sections to facilitate offshore installation. TEC upgraded the existing central platform facility to bring in more low pressure gas wells. A complete facility debottlenecking study was done to determine pinch points which were addressed for increased rates. Added a Solar Taurus 70 turbine compressor with supporting equipment to handle four different gas rate scenarios. Gas rates ranged from 141 MMSCFD to 60 MMSCFD at 1225 psig. All support piping, deck exten-sion and electrical was done by TEC.
