SWIVEL REFURBISHMENT

De Pretto Industrie is a leading provider of repair and maintenance services in the energy industry. In particular, with its Special Projects business unit, De Pretto Industrie carries out repair and maintenance services on fluid swivels for offshore and subsea applications in the oil and gas market. The assistance that De Pretto Industrie can provide in servicing existing fluid swivels goes from offshore interventions to complete refurbishments carried out in our internal workshop.

Fluid swivels are a critical asset for the offshore oil & gas industry, which has to continuously face the challenges posed by the marine environment. In particular, swivels allow the fluid transfers from fixed to floating infrastructures in open waters offshore, and therefore, they permit tankers and FPSO to weathervane without interrupting the fluid transfer. The aggressive nature of the transferred fluids combined with the harsh marine environment where they operate make often necessary the periodic maintenance of such fluid swivels, the complete refurbishment at the end of their working life, or in the worst cases, the emergency repair due to unforeseen failures.

De Pretto Industrie, with its Special Projects business unit and the ability to perform design and calculations on specific fluid containment devices, can count on an extensive knowledge of fluid swivels, for which it has become a leading provider in the offshore industry. In addition, the integration with the in-house fabrication and testing resources makes De Pretto Industrie benefit from more than a century of experience in the manufacturing and testing of complex equipment for the energy industry. The combination of extensive knowledge of the product and the internal workshop gives De Pretto Industrie a responsive and flexible structure, able to meet even the most challenging quality requirements and time schedules typical of the oil and gas market.
