OFFSHORE ENGINE REPAIR

Oil and gas rigs in the North Sea are some of the toughest work environments an engineer will ever encounter: intensive round-the-clock assignments working on engines which are often hard to access and always at the mercy of the elements.

On top of this are the commercial pressures to get the job done with as little downtime as possible for our customers.

Prior Power Solutions has a six-strong engineering team backed up by five technical support engineers and 20 onshore service engineers.

The team carries out scheduled maintenance and in-situ overhauls on rigs which go back to the 1970s and 80s.

Engines are often in places that are incredibly difficult to access, sometimes tight to the rig structure itself. A typical engine overhaul can involve a team of up to four engineers – two on days, two on nights – working 12-hour days, seven days a week and lasting between one and six weeks depending on model, accessibility and site permit availability.

Often, the engineers encounter situations where an engine package has been adapted it to suit required specification i.e. modified air intakes or additional pipework which are not supported by the OEM. Identifying these for replacement is a challenge eagerly taken up by our experienced parts team.

Whilst the remoteness of offshore rigs presents challenges in terms of getting engineers and equipment on site, as well as working with the weather, our Offshore Co-ordinator is highly experienced at pulling everything together to get the job done for our customer with minimal downtime.
