Rig Inspections (Ex Survey)
Rig Inspections (Ex Survey)
The safety, dependability, and compliance of drilling rigs and related equipment operating in hazardous (explosive) atmospheres depend heavily on rig inspections, particularly Ex Surveys. “Ex” stands for explosion-protected equipment made to operate in environments that frequently contain flammable gases, vapors, or dust, conditions that are frequently found in oil and gas settings.
To assist clients in fulfilling hazardous area classification requirements and guaranteeing complete adherence to IEC standards (IEC 60079 series), ATEX directives, and pertinent Saudi regulations, TUV SA provides specialized Ex Survey services. Certified inspectors (CompEx/IECEx CoPC) who possess extensive knowledge of rig systems, safety procedures, and international compliance standards perform our inspections.

Benefits
1. Improvement of Safety:
By ensuring that all equipment used in explosive atmospheres is appropriately certified and maintained, TUV SAG greatly lowers the possibility of ignition sources and enhances site safety in general.
2. Mitigation of Risk:
Through our inspections, clients can take preventive action before failures occur by identifying potential ignition hazards, installation non-compliances, and degradation that could jeopardize explosion protection.
3. Regulatory Compliance:
Ex Surveys with TUV SAG help clients avoid regulatory fines, shutdowns, or unsuccessful audits by guaranteeing complete compliance with relevant laws and international standards.
4. The continuity of operations:
Our inspections assist in preserving continuous rig operations and minimizing expensive downtime brought on by Ex-rated component failures by proactively addressing equipment risks and non-conformities.
5. Assistance with Audit and Certification:
In order to support internal audits, client approvals, and third-party verification for certification purposes, TUV SAG offers comprehensive inspection reports, findings, and corrective action plans.
6. Management of Asset Integrity:
Our services help clients manage the lifecycle of Ex equipment and keep thorough inspection records in compliance with IEC 60079-17, which is a crucial component of long-term integrity programs.
