When OJS mobilizes our experienced technicians, application equipment and protective coating materials and deploy them to client sites, we provide the following application services:

Why Choose OJS Services?

Reduced Operator Risks--Higher Quality Application

With most of the future subsea projects expected to transport product from reservoirs located deeper sub-surface and within ultra-deep water locations, the consequence of failure of the corrosion protection or thermal insulation is growing as the intervention costs increase. Investment in quality protective coatings can bring high returns and benefits to the operator of subsea facilities during the life of field. Pipeline field joints are the "achilles heel" of subsea systems and they present the most likely area of failure due to corrosion or loss of thermal insulation bringing flow assurance problems.

The integrity of subsea corrosion and thermal insulation systems is growing in importance as subsea system requirements include containment of higher temperature oil and gas, higher hydrostatic pressure, longer tie-back distances, longer production shutdown durations and longer SCR's with fatigue loadings.

OJS Premiere Design and Quality

OJS designs it own equipment and chemical formulations to ensure the protective coating material properties and applications are within the operators and manufacturers specifications.

Input from operators and design engineering companies provides guidance for our R&D team to address the future needs within our industry.

Prior to mobilizing for an offshore project, OJS demonstrates to the operators and installation contractors that our systems fully comply with the project specifications during Procedure Qualification Trials (PQT) at OJS Houston, USA or OJS Batam, Indonesia facilities. In addition, we perform Pre Production Trials (PPT) at the installation contractors site, prior to production start-up.

Improve Production for Installation Contractors

Our contractual clients, the installation contractors, require safe, fast and reliable protective coating systems that comply with operator specifications and allow our clients to deliver high performance with welding and NDT services.

Safest Applications

OJS designs, builds and commissions our application equipment to ensure safe conditions on site for all personnel. Our engineers focus on equipment automation reducing operator intervention and reducing safety risks. For example:

• Sea Sleeve which replaces sheet metal molds and banding used for HDPF infill at the field joints on concrete weight coated pipelines eliminates the risks of cuts and eye injuries common with the sheet metal molds. As Sea Sleeve is a polyethylene based product it will not snag with fishing nets were sheet metal molds has proven to be problematic. Similarly with ROV umbilicals and divers in shallow waters.
• Fully enclosed blast recovery systems provided on our grit blasting equipment provides a very clean and safe environment for OJS and all other personnel on site compared to the open blasting systems.  
• FBE powder recovery system removes over 90% of the FBE powder in the atmosphere surrounding the equipment during the FBE powder application. See OJS video on the home page of this application offshore.
• Mercury free Densiflex 6100 Solid polyurethane complies with recent USA legislation regarding mercury content for facilities being installed offshore.

Speed

When it comes to fast production of protective coating applications offshore, OJS holds two offshore world records:

• 9.8 Km per day on a HDPF field joints infill on pipeline field joints on a North Sea project.
• 9.2 Km per day applying FBE on pipeline field joints on a Gulf of Mexico project.

On the HDPF project OJS used its patented Sea Sleeve mold and in-house HDPF formulation.
On the FBE project, OJS designed and assembled the high speed semi-automatic equipment.
OJS and our client agrees the optimum field joint coating layout to minimize cycle time and ensure compliance with specifications.

Reliablity

OJS has provides 100% equipment back-up to ensure the highest reliability or uptime on projects. This can be demonstrated by the high level of repeat business OJS enjoys and the statistics on OJS projects such as the Langeled project were 99.5% uptime was achieved onboard two of the fastest vessels in the world over a two year period.

 A key factor in providing high reliability is OJS trained technicians who perform the coating operations, planned maintenance, inventory control of materials and spares and rapid repairs to maximize up-time.
