Flange Facing in Abqaiq

Flange Facing Services in Abqaiq

Abqaiq is home to one of the world's largest crude oil processing and stabilization facilities, surrounded by gas-oil separation plants, pipelines and pumping stations. It is an inland desert location, so crews deal with extreme summer heat and blowing sand, and work is planned around facilities that are critical to national crude supply and cannot be taken out of service lightly.

Sand and heat in Abqaiq damage exposed flange faces whenever joints are opened, and sour or wet crude service can pit faces over time. We machine damaged faces on site at processing plants, GOSPs and pumping stations, protecting the machined surface from sand until the joint is closed.

Our flange facing services in Abqaiq use the same calibrated equipment, procedures and reporting we use on sites across the Kingdom.

Flange facing goes hand in hand with bolt torquing: once the face is machined and the new gasket fitted, our crew tightens the joint, and the system can then be proven by hydrotesting.

FAQ

Flange facing services in Abqaiq: FAQ

How do you protect machined flange faces from sand in Abqaiq?

Faces are covered and sealed immediately after machining and stay protected until the gasket is fitted, so blowing sand does not scratch the new finish.

How do you manage summer heat on Abqaiq sites?

We schedule heavy work for cooler hours where the site allows, rotate crews, provide shade and water, and protect machines and instruments from sand and heat so work continues safely through the summer.

Can you machine flanges without removing the pipe?

Yes. Our machines mount inside the bore or around the outside of the flange and work in place, which avoids cutting, re-welding and heat treatment.
