The situation
An ageing North Sea manifold cluster, installed well over a decade earlier, was entering a life-extension and integrity campaign. Much of the original identification had fouled over or corroded away. Inspection teams were spending time correlating position and drawings to confirm which valve and jumper they were looking at, and the operator wanted that ambiguity removed before the campaign ramped up.
The approach
- An identification scheme aligned to the asset register and P&IDs, so a marker maps cleanly to the record.
- Aquasign anti-fouling markers, engraved for legibility on an ROV feed.
- Retrofit fixings so the assets could be re-marked in place, by ROV, without recovery.
The outcome
With legible identification restored across the cluster, the inspection campaign could target the right component first time. Because the markers keep shedding growth, the identification is expected to remain readable through the integrity phase and into eventual decommissioning, when the same clarity supports survey and debris-clearance work.
Re-marking in place turned an ageing, hard-to-read cluster back into an asset the inspection team could navigate at a glance.
