The user can define any number of tests, each with an independent test pressure.

The design software interface features a palette of BOP and CM valve components, zoom feature and a drawing area with a snap-to-grid feature.
A custom test validation algorithm being integrated into BLUEPRINT will also alert the user to trapped pressure. Several operators currently create images of their test plans using general office software packages which do not have a method to test the validity of plans.īLUEPRINT will be able to check the validity of tests including telling the user if all valves that need to be tested have been tested and ensuring all valves being tested have a valid bleed-path. Once the software is installed, the user is able to design test plans from their own computer while ensuring the validity of their plans using the software suite. “Whether used as a stand-alone testing design tool or as part of the complete digital pressure testing software suite, BLUEPRINT is another resource to ensure oil and gas companies have the right tools to ensure success and safety,” said Eric Livesay, CEO of Hecate. OTC GREENLIGHT allows users to perform the tests, and LEAFLET handles reporting on the tests with the addition of BLUEPRINT as the third component, planning for the tests is now covered, too.īLUEPRINT works seamlessly with other tools in the OTC GREENLIGHT suite of software to provide a complete digital pressure testing suite that can be used to conduct, analyze and document a wide variety of pressure tests, including BOP’s. Pressure testing involves three main phases: Although there are a few players in this market offering test plan tools, BLUEPRINT is capturing attention due to its ease-of-use for clients and its effectiveness in creating testing plans. “We’ve found that several of our clients struggle to create their testing plans using Microsoft Excel, Paint, Visio or other general office software tools that aren’t specifically designed for creating test plans for BOP’s and CM’s,” said Mike Bethea, CEO of Offshore Technical Compliance.īLUEPRINT is a palette-driven drawing program that is specifically designed for testing BOP and CM components. have jointly created BLUEPRINT, a software tool for designing test plans for BOP and CM valves for the oil and gas industry. Based on more than a decade of experience in pressure testing and inspection services, Offshore Technical Compliance and Hecate Software, Inc.
