1 TEST SUMMARY
WARNING :
This procedure applies only to on-shore leak test. The equipped Wellheads
will be installed off-shore after the drilling operations, consequently the
present leak test will be performed from the blind flanges installed upstream
the choke valves and, not from the equipped Wellheads.
This procedure is written for DPG.
AIR LEAK TEST
The aim of air leak test at 2.5barg pressure is to minimize hazards that could
result from leaks.
1.1 DESCRIPTION
The sub-system will be air leak tested at the following pressure level :
2.5 barg ; partial closed drain system
Oil free air is to be supplied from an external source at around 7 barg
1.2 TEMPORARY INSTALLATION
Suitable hose connections shall be provided at several points of the
system.
SAFETY PRECAUTION
During hook up activity signs to warn of air pressure testing must be posted,
and portable horns must be used before starting the test.
2 PLANNING AND MANPOWER
2.1 PLANNING TASK
2.2 MANPOWER ESTIMATE
The manpower requirement are as follows :
PER SHIFT :
- 1 SUPERVISOR
- 4 PIPE FITTERS

2.3 TEST DURATION ESTIMATE
The overall operation duration is scheduled to be three (3) days.
Once the sub-system is pressurized at about 2.5 barg with air, the leak last
one day

5.1 START UP STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE
1) Leak test the whole system between the production flowlines,
production manifold, test manifold and pig launcher and receiver for
all closed drains.
(see colored P & ID’s).
2) Connect air hoses at different points of the system (at least 3).
(see marks on colored P & ID’s).
3) Install 0-10 barg pressure gauges on suitable vents of the system
(at least 5 ).
4) Close all the gate and ball valves to put the whole system balanced.
(see colored P & ID’s).

6) When the maximum air pressure is achieved close air make up.
7) Proceed to a general inspection of flanges and carry out an initial
acoustics checking.

8) Observe the pressure fall on the different pressure gauge and record
the pressure losses.
9) If the pressure losses are within the 0.05 barg/hr criterion the test is
considered as successful.
10) Without the criterion range of 0.05 barg/hr the methodology of
masking tape is to be applied and each flange, valves glands checked
with soapy water until final success.
