TubeLock®
During a recently completed UBD / MPD Drilling and Comple-tion Campaign in 2013 to 2016 car-ried out in the Danish North Sea. HESS decided to use the Tube-Lock® ‘Tubing Racking System’ offered by Global Gravity to be the system of choice for use through the entire completion Campaign.
Project data:• Transport and logistic hand-
ling 4½” S13Cr% 110 tubing • More than 3 years off use
without an incident • Global Gravity Supervisor
involved on and offshore • +20 shipments over the
years
Challenges:• Minimum deck space due to
fluid treatment system• Risk of damage to the tu-
bing’s
• Mounting centralizer onshore • Measuring and tally onshore• Space optimizing and mini-
mum tubular handling Improvements:• Improved QHSE throughout
the loading / transportation, • Improved equipment prote-
ction – for chrome materials especially,
• Improved QA on compiling / checking running tallies ahead of time,
• Minimal footprint required on the rig,
• Ability to pick pipe from the racks using knuckle-boom crane to TFM
• Running tally prepared in advance
• Easy to man handle, easy to use

OUR GOALSzero accidentssafe and smart tubular handlingcost reduction on handlingIncrease efficiency in drilling operations
HSEQ and CertificationsThe TubeLock® System has been through very harsh tests to demonstrate the strength and document the certified hand-ling.
Design approvalTubeLock® has an approved Design approval from DNV ac-cording to Lifting Appliance sec. 2.22
HSEQ and certification are cornerstones in the offshore indu-stry and a constant focus in our operation. Our HSEQ and certifications are the sum of the knowledge and experience we learn from these testings.
The system was nominated for a safety prize at the ”Task Force Zero” conference in Esbjerg in March 2012.
