    During a recent Nippling Down and repositioning of the 21 1 / 4 BOP the BOP Winch Line parted allowing the top of the BOP to fall towards the broken line direction. The other overhead crane cable was unaffected and a safety sling was fitted to this unit as an extra precaution while it was taking all the weight. There was however damage to flexible control hose from the HCR to the choke manifold requiring the hose to be replaced.

    Safety Alert

    From the International Association of Drilling Contractors

    ALERT 05 –

    BOP OVERHEAD CRANE WIRE LINE
    FAILURE
    WHAT
    HAPPENED:
    During a recent Nippling Down and repositioning of the 21 ¼ BOP from the wellhead to the stump the BOP
    Winch Line (the overhead crane) parted allowing the top of the BOP to fall towards the broken line direction.
    Fortunately the BOP had not been lifted high and the bottom of the BOP lodged in the ground preventing it
    from flipping over. The other overhead crane cable was unaffected and a safety sling was fitted to this unit as
    an extra precaution while it was taking all the weight. There was no injury to personnel. There was however
    damage to flexible control hose from the HCR to the choke manifold requiring the hose to be replaced.

    WHAT CAUSED Investigation Findings


    IT:
    Wire line was used was as per the original specifications.
    A lifting equipment inspection was conducted by a third party lifting equipment inspection company. The
    inspector claims that after the inspection he told the Rig Manager that this line was damaged and
    needed to be changed out. The Rig Manager claims he was not made aware of a damage line.
    o The two copies of the report for the above inspection were provided however critical information
    within the reports were different:
    The paper version said “The inspection of the above equipment was found to be in satisfactory
    condition”.
    The electronic version said “The Wire Rope was found damaged (need to be replaced before
    commencing any lifting operation”.
    There was no evidence of any Pre Job Meeting held prior to commencing the Nippling Down operation.
    There was no recorded evidence that periodic or pre job inspection including Monthly PMS routines had
    been completed on the failed line
    The failed line was in poor condition and should have been identified as a hazard between the inspection
    date and the incident date.

    CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: To address this incident, this company issued the


    following:
    The third party inspection company is to check all inspection reports for all other rigs for accuracy and
    relevance.

    inspection is complete by the Rig Manager acknowledging the inspection carried out and any
    discrepancies and/or recommend actions to be taken as a result of the inspection.
    Rig Superintendent, Rig Managers to reinforce the importance of Pre Tour/Pre Job meeting and the
    need to maintain a record of these meeting conducted.
    Add inspection criteria to Rig Manager Weekly Inspection for wire lines on Overhead BOP Cranes.
    Enforce Monthly Planned Maintenance routines for Overhead BOP cranes.
    Adopt a 12 month “Out of Service” date when wire lines for BOP Overhead Cranes are change out
    regardless of its condition at the time.
