Oil Field Equipment Fabrication Nigeria:
Upstream Solutions & Maintenance
The Challenge: Equipment Built for Nigerian Oil Fields
Nigerian oil field operations can damage standard equipment within months. Sour gas environments corrode standard steel, while temperature fluctuations stress components beyond their design limits. High humidity speeds up failure rates, and remote locations make repairs both expensive and time-consuming.
International suppliers only add to these challenges. Their equipment, designed for different climates, often breaks down in Nigerian conditions. Replacement parts can take months to arrive from overseas, and their technical support operates from distant locations with little understanding of local operational demands.
Chuzeke's Oil Field Equipment Solutions
Custom Pressure Vessels for Upstream Operations
Sour Gas Processing Equipment
We offer specialized steel selection that resists hydrogen sulfide corrosion. Our materials are Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP)-compliant to ensure long-term performance, and our custom designs handle the specific pressure ratings and gas compositions found in Nigerian fields. Our pressure ratings range from 150 PSI to 600 PSI working pressure. We utilize materials such as carbon steel with corrosion-resistant linings, duplex stainless steel for extreme service conditions, and specialized alloys for high-temperature applications.
Separation Equipment
We provide three-phase separators that handle oil, gas, and water separation. We optimize our custom internals to ensure efficient separation for your specific crude oil characteristics. Our compact designs fit existing platform constraints while maximizing processing capacity.
Storage and Processing Tanks
We also offer atmospheric and low-pressure storage tanks for crude oil, produced water, and chemicals. Our floating roof designs are made to minimize emissions, and we can include heating coils to maintain fluid temperatures in challenging weather conditions.
Maintenance Platform Solutions
Equipment Access Platforms
Our multi-level platforms provide safe access for maintenance operations. The structural designs are built to handle both equipment and live maintenance loads, and we use slip-resistant surfaces to ensure worker safety in all weather conditions.
Crane and Lifting Systems
We provide jib cranes and monorails that handle heavy component removal and installation. Our capacity ratings range from 1 ton to 25 tons, depending on the application, and our weather-resistant designs ensure reliable operation.
Pipe Support Systems
We provide custom pipe supports that handle thermal expansion while maintaining alignment. Our vibration dampening reduces fatigue failures, and we use corrosion-resistant materials to extend the service life in harsh environments.
Emergency Repair and Modification Services
24/7 Emergency Response
Oil field equipment failures can disrupt production. Our emergency response team mobilizes within hours to deliver vital repairs. Our mobile welding and fabrication capabilities bring solutions directly to field locations.
Hot Tapping and Line Stopping
We perform repairs and modifications without halting production. Our hot tapping services add connections to active pipelines, while line stopping allows maintenance without losing system pressure.
Equipment Modifications
We can modify existing equipment for process changes, including capacity boosts, operational improvements, and safety upgrades. Our field modifications reduce downtime while enhancing performance.
NUPRC Compliance and Safety Standards
All of our equipment complies with the safety standards of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission(NUPRC). For pressure vessels, our designs follow ASME standards with any necessary NUPRC adjustments. We also ensure that our materials meet NACE corrosion resistance standards for sour service applications. We incorporate safety systems such as pressure relief, emergency shutdowns, and fire protection. We also provide comprehensive documentation packages to support NUPRC inspections and operational permits.
Specialized Materials for Oil Field Service
Carbon Steel with Protective Coatings
We offer cost-effective solutions for standard applications using carbon steel. Our internal linings resist corrosion from produced fluids, while our external coatings protect against atmospheric corrosion in coastal environments.
Stainless Steel Grades
We use various grades of stainless steel, including 316L for moderate corrosive service, duplex grades for high-strength and high-corrosion applications, and super austenitic grades for extreme sour service conditions.
Specialty Alloys
We also utilize specialty alloys like Inconel and Hastelloy for extreme temperature and corrosion conditions, as well as Monel for seawater service applications. We provide custom alloy selection based on your specific service conditions.
Maintenance Programs for Maximum Uptime
Preventive Maintenance Services
Scheduled Inspections
Our regular inspection programs identify potential issues before failures can occur. We conduct thickness testing to monitor corrosion rates and structural inspections to verify integrity under operational stresses.
Component Replacement
We offer a planned replacement program for wear components to minimize unscheduled downtime. Our services include gasket and seal replacements as well as instrumentation calibration and replacement.
Performance Optimization
We provide operational assessments to identify potential efficiency improvements. We can also make process modifications to increase throughput and perform energy optimization to reduce your operational costs.
Emergency Maintenance Response
Critical oil field equipment failures receive an immediate response. Our mobile repair teams deploy to field locations to perform temporary repairs that maintain production while we implement a permanent solution.
Our parts inventory management ensures that all critical components remain available. We also offer emergency fabrication capabilities to manufacture replacement parts when standard items are unavailable.
Integration with Engineering Services
Oil field equipment fabrication integrates with our comprehensive engineering services, including process design, regulatory compliance, and project management. Our custom steel fabrication capabilities also support all structural modifications and platform construction.
