Rig 25 W.O
Diesel Engine as ignition Source
Current profile:
Rig 25 has two main working Diesel Engine, one is on-Process and other is backup.
Regular path of the fuel Diesel is moving from the main Tank throw high pressure
hoses to intermediate tank connected to a motor which supply both Generators
with fuel.
Safety Issues Addressed:
1- No Emergency Buttons for the Generators.
In case of fire we will be leaved ahead of one limited option of manually
turning off the Electricity switch of these Generators which, as known, will
not cut out any element of fire process (heat, air and Fuel).
N.B: I have discussed this issue
with our mechanic who added
that every generator is equipped
with sensors for heat, fuel
supply..etc., which in any
abnormal conditions should send
signals to cut off fuel supply and
shut off the machine, this
subsequently should prevent
other relevant Engine issues such
as over-speed by controlling LEL
and UEL and surface overheating.

2- No Spark Arrestor Found
This may be not a critical issue for the generators as they normally
located 18 – 20 m away from the wellhead, but this should be considered
for the carrier engine and the pump engine.
Recommendations: we should provide spark Arrestors for these engines
A.S.A.P to prevent Ignitions hazards of H2S Working Environment.
Kindly review this report and advice if any further Safety precautions
required.
