Life Extension & Fitness for Service
What risk based inspection is used for depends on what the intent is. When RBI is applied to operating design life, it can be used for life extension of equipment of an entire facility or a single vessel.
Life extension is a comprehensive review of a facility or vessel to determine if improvements are required, and what is needed to extend the operational life. When done at the facility level, multiple aspects from structural and electrical, to materials and rotating equipment, as well as other aspects are evaluated. Criteria can be set for potential different or similar reservoir fluids and operations, or other needs as required. Risk assessments are coupled with cost estimate to assist with the project decision whether to go forward or not with the life extension or only part of it.
Fitness-For-Service Assessment
Fitness for service is designed to evaluate a facility or vessel for use in its current state. Process changes can lead to unexpected corrosion or operating limits being exceeded. When this happens, vessels need to be evaluated to confirm that they are still fit for service. By looking at the materials of construction, operating history, current conditions/fluids, then evaluating risk/consequence/probability, Viking can help evaluate if vessels can be used safely.
Chemical Injection Optimization & Troubleshooting
Viking’s Chemical Systems team determines what issues may cause an existing chemical system to not perform to the operators’ desired specifications and will deliver a course of action designed to mitigate these issues to ensure best performance.
Viking will support the rework of the system and keep track of the performance whether it be a complete redesign and rebuild or simple modifications to the existing system.

Water Injection Optimization & Troubleshooting
Injection program optimization encompasses multiple disciplines including reliability and maintenance, asset integrity management, production chemistry, operations and reservoir engineering.
Viking’s multidisciplinary approach to solving engineering and operational challenges readily lends itself to such cross-disciplinary collaborative efforts and often provides the core of initiatives to lower costs, increase up-time and increase incremental production due to water injection operations.
