Hydrotest Services in Abqaiq
Modifications at Abqaiq are tested at high pressure before crude flows again. We run the tests and record the results.
High-pressure hydrotests in Abqaiq
Pipeline manifolds, pump stations and processing systems at Abqaiq operate at high pressure, so tie-ins and repairs must be proven before return to service. Hydrotest services in Abqaiq provide high-pressure pumps, calibrated instruments and controlled pressurising.
After sign-off the system is depressurised, drained and, where the service needs it, dried. Our bolting crew removes the blinds and reinstates the permanent joints.
Most hydrotesting jobs in Abqaiq are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Abqaiq and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main hydrotest services in KSA page.
