It was a busy end to 2019 for ROMAR Senior Electrical Technician Ross Mathieson. Ross has been busy commissioning ROMAR Packer Management Systems and upgrades in the US Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, Australia and Norway. Our Packer Management System (PMS) constantly monitors the slip-joint on semi-submersible rigs and drill ships and automatically activates the back-up packer, should the primary packer fail. Thus avoiding fluid spills to the ocean and protecting the marine environment. We look forward to 2020 with our new technology PMS systems. These are capable of simultaneously monitoring 3x packers and have the added the capability to monitor packer wear in real time, determine seal life remaining and thus predict the point of failure. This gives operators the ability to accurately schedule preventative maintenance. Previous processes have been dependent upon waiting for failure to occur before reacting.
