Hydrotest in Khafji
Khafji sits at the far north of the Saudi Gulf coast near the Kuwaiti border, with onshore and offshore oil fields, processing and export facilities, and pipelines linking them. Offshore and coastal assets, longer travel distances from the main Eastern Province cities, and marine conditions all shape how work here is planned.
Pipelines and facility piping at Khafji are hydrotested after construction and repair, with test water planned carefully at coastal and remote locations. We bring test pumps, recorders and blinds for the full scope and reinstate joints with controlled torque after testing.
Our hydrotest services in Khafji are planned with your operations and safety teams and carried out under your permit-to-work.
Most systems we test have just been modified, often with new sections installed after pipe cold cutting, and once the test is passed we can dry them by nitrogen purging before commissioning.
