Thus, the MOSC could enhance their safety profile while saving the substantial sums they were currently spending on maintenance. One Gasmaster realised that if the MOSC replaced their existing detectors with a unit with Crowcon’s latest MPS™ flammable sensor, the client would not require calibration for up to 5 years, and would benefit from the fact that MPS™ flammable sensors are resistant to poisoning effects. Thus the gas detectors were generally maintained when the rental cabins were returned to the company for overhaul. Consequently, the maintenance and calibration of the gas detectors was costly, potentially dangerous and difficult. Since the accommodation units are usually sited offshore, they operate in harsh and hazardous conditions (combustible gases, hydrogen sulphide and volatile organic compounds are ever-present risks) and are inaccessible. Each cabin contains a Crowcon gas detector, to detect flammable gases and alert the central control room as soon as these are found. One of the services the MOSC offers is the construction and supply of accommodation cabins for offshore rigs and platforms. Crowcon’s distributor realised that this presented an opportunity for the MOSC to save costs while adhering to very strict offshore safely compliance requirements. The firm has a long established relationship with Crowcon’s Malaysian distributor One Gasmaster, and had been using Flamgard gas detectors for some time with calibration support from One Gasmaster, when the time came to replace the Flamgard sensor.
This case features a Malaysian offshore supply company (MOSC) that provides a comprehensive range of upstream oil and gas services including well pumping, coiled tubing units and the rental and supply of offshore accommodation cabins.
