Crew Bus

Crew buses are vehicles that are used to transport personnel, typically oil and gas industry workers, to and from offshore platforms, drilling sites or other remote locations. They are designed to be both durable and comfortable, with a range of features that make them well-suited for use in the oil and gas industry.

The typical crew bus has several key components, including: • The chassis: The chassis is the frame of the bus that supports the body and other components. It is typically made of steel and is designed to be strong and durable. • The body: The body of the bus is typically made of aluminum or other lightweight materials and is designed to provide a comfortable and safe environment for the passengers. • The seats: The seats are typically made of comfortable and durable materials such as leather or vinyl. They are designed to provide a comfortable ride for the passengers. • The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system: The HVAC system is designed to provide a comfortable temperature and air quality for the passengers. • The lighting system: The lighting system is designed to provide adequate lighting for the passengers. • The entertainment system: Some crew buses have an entertainment system that includes a TV, DVD player, or other features to provide entertainment for the passengers during the ride.

The engineering specifications for crew buses are: • Chassis: typically from single-axle to six-axle • Engine: typically from 150 to 400 horsepower (HP) • Gross vehicle weight: typically from 26,000 to 80,000 pounds • Passenger capacity: typically from 30 to 60 passengers • Standard: OSHA, ASTM, API

Crew buses are designed to be both durable and comfortable, with a range of features that make them well-suited for use in the oil and gas industry.

Light Intervention Vessel (LIV) A light intervention vessel (LIV) is a type of ship that is specifically designed to support light subsea operations such as well intervention, maintenance and repair, and construction activities. It typically has a large deck area for cargo and equipment, a moonpool, and a dynamic positioning system that allows the vessel to maintain its position in relation to a subsea structure. It is also equipped with a subsea crane and/or ROV (Remotely operated vehicle) launch and recovery systems. The accommodation quarters for crew and passengers are also available.
Slickline BOP (Blowout Preventer) A slickline BOP (Blowout Preventer) is a specialized type of BOP that is specifically designed for use with slickline operations. Slickline is a thin, un-insulated wire that is used to perform a variety of well intervention tasks such as setting and retrieving plugs, measuring depth, and running tools. A slickline BOP typically has the same functions as a coiled tubing BOP, which is designed to seal and control the well in the event of an emergency, but is designed to be used with slickline instead of coiled tubing.
The hard hat is a symbol of hard work The “hard boiled hat” was invented by Edward Bullard in 1919. A hardhat is a type of protective headgear that is worn by workers in the oil and gas industry to protect their head from falling objects, electrical hazards and other potential hazards that may occur on a drilling site. Hardhats are typically made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or other durable materials that can withstand impact and penetration. They are designed to provide a high level of protection to the head and face while allowing the worker to see and hear clearly. The typical hardhat used in oil drilling has several key components, including: • The shell: The shell is the outermost layer of the hardhat and is typically made of HDPE or other durable materials that can withstand impact and penetration. • The suspension system: The suspension system is the internal support system of the hardhat that holds it securely on the head and provides a comfortable fit. It is typically made of a combination of straps, webbing, and other materials that can be adjusted to fit the head snugly. • The headband: The headband is the internal band that sits on the forehead, helping to distribute the weight of the hardhat evenly around the head. • The ear muffs: Many hardhats have the option of adding earmuffs or earplugs to protect the worker from excessive noise. • The face shield: Some hardhats have the option of adding a face shield to protect the worker from flying debris and other hazards.
