Our Cardno PetroPro Suite includes applications such as QA Reporter, which is used to document, access, and manage quality inspection information. The suite of applications also includes inventory management solutions.

Improved EfficiencyQA Reporter (QAR) is the most mature inspection reporting system in oil and gas, with more than 10 million inspected items, components, and assemblies. The software tracks your quality assurance operations—and the results. With this valuable information, you can focus QA attention where it’s needed most.

QAR is both an inspection reporting system and a quality management tool. Put simply, QAR automates the process of documenting field inspections. QAR leads the industry in quality reporting and quality data analysis. The system is customizable to meet your quality assurance, quality control, and equipment management needs.

The entire Cardno PetroPro Suite, including QAR, is web-accessible, so your company can start benefiting immediately without costly hardware, administration, or software installation.

Reports and AnalysisInspectors and other QA personnel use the QAR system to record quality data. The guided input format provides consistent, comparable data that lends itself to automated reporting and analysis.

Collected information also facilitates vendor performance analysis and other auditing processes. With QAR, it is easy to compile all the inspection reports by project or track inspections for the year.

Other key performance indicators, such as supplier rejection rate, failures by well, and components by rejection rate, can be graphed instantly—helping managers make key business decisions.

QAR data is also completely searchable. You can search by vendor, manufacturer, type, and many other details.

Secure Access to All DataLike all Cardno PetroPro Suite components, the QAR software-as-a-service (SaaS)

application is managed from a secure central location. This Web-based application lets you review, audit, and retrieve current and historical data.

Project-based inventory management services from Cardno PPI ensure that you know what you have, where it is, and whether it’s ready for use. With our system, make loss obsolete.

How It Works: RFID Tags and Web PortalCardno PPI inventory specialists apply RFID/bar code tags, remove them before equipment goes downhole, and reapply them again as needed. These specialists check in and check out equipment as it is stored, moved, and used in your project. Example equipment includes upper and lower completion components, bottomhole assemblies, connectivity items, and accessories. The equipment tags are the key to detailed information about each item. In the easy-to-use, web-accessible database, you can store even more details, including pictures, drawings, makeup specifications, inspection criteria, and more.

Data is securely hosted in an SAS II certified data center. You can search the database by different criteria. As needed, you can export data to Excel™ for offline analysis as well. At all times, you can access the database to find where items are: geographic location, warehouse location, and any other location details.

Inventory DatabaseThe database offers secure, role-based access to your equipment information. Guided data entry and automated workflows ensure unified data and timely completion. The system imposes revision management for tracking and audit purposes.

Inventory management from Cardno PPI QAM allows custom implementations, including the ability to schedule re-inspection, arrange maintenance, plan equipment rotation, and propose obsolescence and replacement dates.

Our technicians help ensure equipment makes up as it should, there’s no lost project time, and personnel and equipment risk is reduced.

Cardno PPI Quality & Asset Management offers comprehensive oilfield equipment verification and inspection services.

Supermajor with Global OperationsCardno PPI has an ongoing contract for a very large Australian LNG development project. We are supporting engineering and procurement, construction, and subsea requirements. Global surveillance activities involving long, short, and call-off type assignments include engagements in Australia; Europe; North America; Southeast Asia; and the Far East, including China and South Korea. Activities are coordinated from our Perth premises by in-house coordination personnel and administrative staff.

Large Independent with Global OperationsOn a client’s global deepwater project, equipment problems were causing shutdowns on the drilling rigs because of incorrect or unacceptable equipment being delivered.

Our team designed and implemented a quality management and inspection system to monitor rig drilling and completion equipment before it reached the rig. The QA inspection information was delivered using our proprietary QA Reporter system.

Within a few months, the client was able to identify where the shortcomings originated, replace unsatisfactory equipment, and ensure only properly working equipment—meeting specifications—was delivered to the rigs. This QA solution resulted in a vast reduction in downtime that had previously cost more than USD 200 million in lost revenue.

Very Large Independent with Global OperationsWe provide auditing of vendors for a very large independent with global operations to support the company’s continuous improvement process. Cardno PPI tracks accepted and rejected material and helps provide an accounting of trouble spots—not only to the client, but to the vendor. Inspectors and coordinators help pinpoint trouble spots in the vendor’s process so the vendor can improve. Data trending is reported quarterly or as requested.

Very Large Independent with Global Operations

Cardno PPI has provided a ‘departmental’ level solution to our client’s drilling and completion departments. The solution included providing personnel such as a quality manager, experienced quality assurance engineers, coordinators, and a global network of third party inspectors and auditors.

Inspections are managed by coordinators in locations such as the US, Trinidad, Pakistan, Singapore, Japan and Perth. The spread of inspection locations makes the service truly global in nature.

Cardno PPI personnel have years of experience in metallurgy, connections, and relevant specifications.
