A client sent us a leaking gate valve with a through-wall crack that had developed after years in service.

The investigation showed the valve had failed by fatigue. The crack had been growing for some time before finally penetrating through the valve wall and creating a leak.

A GoM upstream operator experienced problematic pressure differentials. Over a period of time this resulted in heavy paraffin deposition and ultimately caused several pigs to become stuck in the 6” flowline. Upon an evaluation of available remediation methods, an extended reach mechanical solution was selected to remove the lodged pigs and properly remediate the paraffin deposition.

A client was removing the existing vessel to replace with a smaller and more efficient vessel. BlueFin was called to make four (4) cold cuts at different locations on the vessel for ease of removal. The vessel was located beneath an overhead deck, and about eighty (80) feet away from the handrail, which didn’t allow for crane access.
