| Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) and time efficiency are the top concerns during back deck operations in offshore seismic industry. Back deck jobs such as streamer cable deployment/recovery operations and reel to reel cable transfer in preparation of a new job configuration require a close monitoring of each Streamer Cable Reel. The compact design of streamer reel locations on the vessel requires the operator to be extra vigilance when driving particular Streamer Cable Reels because they are located in the middle of the back deck in the blind spot. The operator needs to move back and forth on the deck to monitor these reels. In order to safely use the reel, additional time or another operator is needed to closely monitor these Streamer Cable Reels which contributes extra risk exposure such as slip or trip hazard and not efficient use of people. Slips, trips or falls is one of the highest injuries in offshore industry. This paper suggests implementation of Streamer Cable Reel Intelligent System, the result will be a safer back deck work environment, increase time efficiency and prevention in equipment damage. Implementation of this system as complementary of current spooling device technology will result direct in savings for the company. Data collection and comparisons for technology options has been taken prior deciding the type of technology used in this system. This system aims to reduce the blind spots in order to decrease unnecessary exposure time on the back deck, to improve the back deck work efficiency and to prevent any equipment damage with relatively cheap and widely available technology. |
