WELCOME TO UTC 2018 THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION WELCOMES YOU TO THE 24TH UTC The first UTC (Underwater Technology Conference) was staged in Bergen in 1980 and ever since, the conference has attracted managers and technologists from the Subsea industry to meet at this internationally recognized event. The conference has evolved to become an important meeting place among world leading companies within underwater technology, where new technologies are being presented, experiences being shared and challenges discussed.

The theme for this year’s conference is “Subsea – Unlocking the Potential”, a theme which will be the core of the panel debate on the first day of the conference, featuring technology officials from major industry players. As a preconference article highlights at www.utc.no, a new focus is now also on how the subsea industry can turn to digitalization and data analytics to bring new efficiencies to the business. The day two panel debate will focus on these topics, with industry recognized speakers. And in line with the proud heritage of the conference, there will be two days of high quality keynote speeches and conference papers being presented, highlighting the key topics of the conference.

The industry is facing intentions to increase capital and innovation spending in 2018, while maintaining tight control over costs to support leaner and smarter projects and operations. Hence, cost pressures are driving greater collaboration and standardization.

The Market Insight Seminar, introduced successfully two years ago, will elaborate on the outlook and the growth potential for the industry on Day 0 of the conference. The Market Insight seminar is followed by the Icebreaker event giving excellent networking opportunities, as will the conference exhibition area, being a focal space for the conference delegates and open to other visitors throughout the conference.

The Underwater Technology Foundation (UTF) is a noncommercial entity, and is the organizer of UTC jointly with GCE Subsea. The foundation’s mission is to increase the level of competence within underwater technology and related disciplines, achieved through disseminating and developing knowledge by arranging conferences, trade shows and meetings, and by contributing to research and education. Please have a look at the separate section about UTF in the program.

UTF and GCE Subsea would like to extend great appreciation to all committee members, moderators, presenters and panelists for their contributions to the quality of the conference.

We are pleased to welcome you to Bergen and to the 24th Underwater Technology Conference.

On behalf of UTF Hans-Erik Berge Chair of the UTF Board

UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION SINCE 1980, BERGEN HAS SERVED AS THE HOST CITY FOR THE WORLD’S OLDEST SUBSEA CONFERENCE, AND THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE EVENT IS THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION (UTF).

The Underwater Technology Foundation is a non-commercial entity established in 1980 when several large oil-related companies joined forces to arrange the first Underwater Technology Conference in Bergen. At that time, the subsea industry was in its infancy, and the foundation was the first in the world to put on a conference with sole focus on this sector.

UTC – AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING ARENA Ever since the first UTC, the conference has been a regular event in Bergen. For the first 30 years, it was held biennially, but from 2010 onwards, it became an annual event. In addition to the large Norwegian oil and gas operators and suppliers, the proportion of international representatives is high. The conference attracts between 600 and 1000 participants annually. Hence, this June event in Bergen is an international meeting point for the world’s leading subsea technology companies. New technology is presented and challenges are discussed. UTF hosts and organizes the conference together with GCE Subsea.

THE FOUNDATION PROMOTES KNOWLEDGE UTF is, however, far more than just the Underwater Technology Conference – although focus on this event is high. The foundation’s mission is to increase the level of competence within underwater technology and related disciplines, achieved through disseminating and developing knowledge by arranging conferences, trade shows and meetings, and by contributing to research and education. The foundation will achieve this through events like the UTC, which features an exhibition open to everyone interested in learning more about underwater technology. In addition, the foundation will hold exhibitions and meetings, and will contribute to research and training at university level.

GRANT To fulfil the latter, the foundation offers a grant available to applicants in need of financial support for a research or training project related to underwater technology. The foundation would like to see more applicants for the grant, and encourages anyone with a relevant project to apply.

EXPANSION OF THE FOUNDATION The Underwater Technology Foundation (UTF) has further expanded in 2018, and is pleased to welcome Aker BP as a new member. UTF now consists of the following members: Equinor, Aker BP, Aker Solutions, One Subsea, Technip FMC, Subsea 7, DNV GL, CMR, NUI, GCE Subsea, Sparebanken Vest and City of Bergen.

WITH RISING OPTIMISM IN THE INDUSTRY AS ACTIVITY LEVELS HAVE INCREASED, THERE’S ALSO A RISING CONCERN – THAT ALL THE HARD WORK DONE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS WILL UNRAVEL. To put it in the words of our opening keynote speaker, Aker BP CEO Karl Johnny Hersvik, there’s a risk, as we continue to benefit from oil prices at around US$70 per barrel, that we develop “goldfish memories.”

A lot has been achieved in the past few years. Since 2013, following one of the toughest periods the subsea industry has faced, a 50% cost reduction was achieved in project costs. “Collectively, we have been on a strict diet and in general gotten in better shape with respect to making smarter decisions with better business outcomes,” says conference co-moderator Wendy Lam, who is also Head of Market Development—Subsea Power & Processing at Baker Hughes, a GE company (BHGE).

“The gains delivered at $40 per barrel have changed the way we operate, with the supply chain rallying around TOTEX-light (total expenditure) solutions that meet or exceed the performance capabilities of the past, complemented by commercial innovation, new business models and collaborative approaches,” she adds.

“At the start of the downturn, the focus was maybe on squeezing the margins and there was some finger pointing at who was driving the cost,” says co-moderator Kristin Nergaard Berg, who is also Group Leader Subsea Technology, DNV GL. “Now we see more

collaboration to achieve efficiencies and get the cost level down.

There have been projects where suppliers and operators have worked together to reach cost targets and they have been a success.

Standard solutions are being used and oil majors are focusing more on reducing their in-house specifications.”

Aker BP, for example, has formed and continues to form various alliances with vendors, from drilling and wells to maintenance and modification and asset integrity. “And I see that model being used more and more in other improvement work we are doing,” says Hersvik. “We were convinced that it was an appealing model in 2016 (when Hersvik spoke about this model at the UTC 2016 ice-breaker), and we are convinced with the results we are seeing, particularly in the subsea domain.”

“The challenge now is to make the changes that have been made sustainable,” says Program Committee Chairman Jon Arve Sværen, especially as activity starts to increase. In early May, Oslo-based consultancy Rystad said that some 100 new offshore projects would be sanctioned this year, globally, compared with 60 last year and just 40 in 2016.

“The industry has been through a tough period and we have gone through an extreme cost cutting exercise. But, how do we make sure we maintain this as the market comes back? How do we maintain the discipline, both on the operator side and supply side, to make sure we are not just seeing another peak and another drop?”

One check on any potential cost inflation may be onshore shale production. In March, analyst Wood Mackenzie said deepwater projects were now cost competitive with Lower 48 shale breakevens. But, cost inflation in deepwater, which has the highest costs in subsea development terms, could damage its competitiveness.

There are also further opportunities for cost reduction, suggests Hersvik, by being more productive, says Hersvik, pointing to the field development process, decision gates, etc., which he says is burdensome and has yet to significantly change.

Digitalisation and data analytics could help the industry be more efficient and productive – as well as reducing HSE exposure. “This topic is on everyone’s lips,” says Sværen. “But what does it mean to the subsea industry? Are we behind? Are we in front? What can we do to improve, to be more competitive?”

Hersvik thinks we are behind. “I’m a bit amazed we have not been able to move further in data gathering subsea,” he says. Why? “Vendors have simply not been asked by the customers for it,” he says. “This is a quite traditional industry. We go out by boat, drop an ROV in the water (to perform inspection and monitoring, etc.).”

The picture is changing, however. “Fuelled by the combination of cheaper, faster storage and near limitless computing power on the cloud, we see a focus on more ‘data intensive’ machine learning methods like neural network or even deep learning,” says Magnus Muri Boberg, Director in the Customer Success team at analytics firm Cognite, and a speaker in the UTC day two panel debate.

“Many oil and gas companies are investing and testing these new opportunities. With high-quality data finally readily available to be shared, a new relationship between original equipment manufacturers and clients will emerge.”

However, while the subsea industry may be behind in this space, that means we have a lot of run room to improve and that’s what

we’re here to discuss. But as well as digitalization, business and contracting models, and macro-economic challenges, we’re here to focus on subsea technology and there will be a lot to talk about.

Indeed, the industry has used the downturn to work towards maturing technologies such as all-electric subsea systems and subsea power distribution, as well as advanced subsea processing, says Berg. “In Aker BP, we are particularly excited about technology development that can mean we can get rid of the hydraulics system, whether it is electric heated pipe in pipe or electric actuators in Xmas trees,” says Hersvik. “Multiphase pumps are also interesting.”

Still, we cannot afford to be complacent. There is a challenge to grow confidence in some areas of subsea processing, says Berg, and it means building confidence and aligning the right applications with the right business cases. “There are more than 100 pumps installed: that should be technology that’s possible to select for a project,” she says, “if it’s considered the best option. But subsea processing solutions also need to compete with other options. To take the next step in subsea processing the right fields and business cases need to be there to implement.”

DAY 1 - PARALLEL SESSIONS

13 JUNE

FIELD DEVELOPMENTS / SYSTEMS SOLUTIONS June 13th, 14:30-15:00, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Johan Castberg - the cost reduction journey

Benedicte Nordang, EQUINOR The Johan Castberg project delivered the plan for development and operation on December 5th, 2017 and is now in the execution phase. This presentation will give highlights from the development that resulted in the remarkable turnaround from a concept with a break-even of more than 80 USD/bbl to below 35 USD/bbl. A key concept has been design-to-cost where solutions have been ranked in steps from a minimum solution to a maximum solution.

Each increment is required to add value to the project at a low break-even. Close collaboration between Petec, Drilling&Wells and Subsea has reduced the required number of wells, templates and total pipeline and cable lengths. Tough KPIs on the subsea cost of each well (Perfect project) has been broken down to cost of the components. The vendors have been challenged with these targets and they have in turn been allowed to challenge all requirements, showing the potential savings. The feasible savings have been identified in close cooperation between contractors and Equinor. New methods and technologies have been utilized. A rigorous method for risk-based flowline protection has been applied to minimize the required rock-installation. New technology, DC/FO, has enabled a robust and simplified umbilical system while providing a significant capacity for future expansion and enabling future technologies. In addition, several new technology elements such as new wellhead design, 7” VXT, hybrid UTH and more have been applied.

June 13th, 15:00-15:30, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Askeladd and Troll Phase 3 – high rate subsea production system with 7” VXT

Anna Arteeva, EQUINOR Equinor has increased the effort to maximize the recovery from oil and gas fields. The development of gas fields and long tie-backs is gaining higher priority. Lean development poses technical challenges within flow assurance and system design. A large production pressure envelope and high production rates require optimimalisation of the system design related to the pressure drop, production velocities, fluid content, sand erosion, vibrations and acoustic fatigue. Risks such as formation water break-through and hydrate management raise additional requirements for the subsea equipment for the long tieback projects. Those issues are addressed in the common studies between Equinor projects Troll phase 3 (gas off-take to Troll A) and Askeladd (gas export to Hammefest LNG via Snøhvit, world’s longest tie-back) performed in cooperation with Aker Solutions, TFMC and OneSubsea. A high rate 7” subsea production system (SPS) has been developed based on an updated Vertical Xmas Tree (VXT) where the wing section and piping is increased from 5’’ to 7’’ and a Choke Bridge Module (CBM) is implemented. The CBM also includes functionality for fluid control, water monitoring and erosion monitoring. This paper will address how the new SPS design enables 10% production recovery increase, delayed investments for the next phases, lower CO2 intensity at the processing facilities, reduced production velocities and increased robustness with regards to vibration and erosion potential in the subsea equipment.

June 13th, 15:30-16:00, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Smart solutions ensuring safe and cost-efficient project execution of Maria

Kay Irmscher, WINTERSHALL The Maria development project was executed in an economically challenging time and the operator Wintershall had to turn every stone to make the development a success. The project was delivered almost a year ahead of schedule and significantly below budget. The presentation will explore some of the work that was undertaken to “undercut” the usual cost in development, construction and installation. Some examples are; the use of a dual derrick rig despite a heavy BOP, which was made possible due to smart fatigue reduction solutions; and a remote controlled well-commissioning from onshore saving time, cost and the environment. The above and several additional efforts, combined with outstanding collaboration with the suppliers, contributed to making the Maria development project a success.

June 13th, 16:30-17:00, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Value mapping – from design to end of field life, maximising assets

Stian Sande, SUBSEA 7 The alliance between AkerBP, Aker Solutions and Subsea 7 is based on a few simple but fundamental principles. Some of these are early engagement, openness and information sharing, working together in integrated teams and sharing of commercial upsides and downsides. In practical terms this means that a joint project team is established already at DG1 and works together to maximize the value of the project through the Select, Improve and Execution phases and all parties benefit from finding and developing the overall most cost effective solutions. This close collaboration allows for maximizing the value of a field development considering the initial development cost, operation and decommissioning. By combining the competence and experience of operator, SURF and SPS suppliers early in the project phase, before key decisions are made, the impact of alternative solutions on both CAPEX and OPEX can be better assessed. The intent of continuity through pre-FEED, FEED and into execution also allows the suppliers to present their overall best solutions without reservations and without a concern that technology and intellectual property will be disclosed to others. Last but not least, a combined team allows for much better optimization and reduced interface risk between SPS and SURF scopes. Certain techniques can be used to map the value stakeholders and specific elements can add to a field development from design to end of life and give valuable insight into opportunities for creating value.

June 13th, 17:00-17:30, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Snorre Expansion Project - facilitating large IOR volumes

Sverre Espedal-Selvåg, EQUINOR The Snorre Expansion Project delivered the plan for development and operation on December 21st, 2017 and is now in the execution phase with all contracts awarded. This presentation will give highlights from the concept development extending the lifetime of the Snorre Field to 2040 and possibly beyond. The following will be addressed: • The journey from Platform Solution to Subsea Concept • Benefits of Subsea concept unlocking large Snorre IOR volumes • Cooperation between Operation, Subsurface, Facilities and Drilling & Well

June 13th, 17:30-18:00, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Condition monitoring of subsea production control systems

Phil Eckford, AKER SOLUTIONS Subsea Production Control System (SPCS) in-service faults, failures, deterioration and degradation can impact the normal operation of Safety, environmental and Production Critical Elements. The potential financial, Health, Safety and Environmental consequences of failure of these critical elements can be significant. This paper presents a proactive monitoring and measurement solution based on real time data to verify against defined performance and operating envelopes using a digital platform. This enables effective visualization of anomalies, diagnosis, prognosis and overall cost efficient, safe and sustainable management of the subsea production control system. An intelligent SPCS integrity management digitalization system that focusses on unlocking the value from the existing data rather adding any extra sensors to the legacy fields will be presented. Through a combination of domain subsystem knowledge and advanced data analytics applied to controls data; the ability to predict certain types of faults is becoming a reality. The outcome of this approach leads to: improved production availability • through on-going analysis of system performance with effective trouble shooting leading to faster turnaround reduction in unplanned events • through understanding of the precursors leading to the key anomalies and how they impact the system. Condition based approach to the management of subsea operations • through taking an informed approach to subsea operational planning based on current system status spares holding optimization • through understanding the key risks via anomaly management multi customer knowledge sharing for improved service • through learning from other customer systems with similar products and performance issues

SURF, SPS AND MARINE OPERATIONS June 13th, 14:30-15:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang First use of new technology enables development of field in Norwegian Sea

Arne Skeie, SUBSEA 7 The Ærfugl field is a gas condensate field located in the Norwegian Sea to the West of Skarv and Idun fields. Heat input into the flow line system will be required during both plateau and off-plateau production periods. The enabling technology Electrically Heat Traced Flowline (EHTF) will be utilized to enable system start-up and shut down, and to maintain the production fluids outside of the hydrate envelope during steady state operation. The Ærfugl EHTF consists of a 10” flowline inside a 16” carrier pipe (Pipe In Pipe). The large annulus between the 10” and the 16” allows for good insulation, and combined with reduced annulus pressure, a U-value of less than 0.5 W/m²/K is achieved. Such a low U-value allows for a quite passive system, requiring limited power from the heating system. The Ærfugl EHTF system is based on a topside transformer which transforms 11 KV to 1.1 KV. The power cables go directly from the bus bar to the In-Line Power Inlet Structure (ILPIS) on the Electrically Heat Traced Flowline (EHTF) via a continuous dynamic and static power umbilical. There is as such not any sophisticated components subsea to transform or split the current. All components that may need maintenance and repair are located topside.

June 13th, 15:00-15:30, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Installation of the world’s first subsea Thermoplastic Composite Flowline for Hydrocarbon Service

Jan van der Graaf, AIRBORNE OIL AND GAS Thermoplastic Composite Pipes (TCP) are successfully applied in Subsea conditions in the past few years. Firstly, for Water injection and MEG injection applications. The next step is the use of TCP for Hydrocarbon flowlines and risers. This presentation will discuss the installation of the world’s first subsea Thermoplastic Composite Flowline for hydrocarbon service that provides a solution for today’s challenges in two vital ways: Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) ensures the lowest total installed cost and ensures the lowest operational cost as it does not corrode. The installation took place at the end of 2017 off the coast of Sarawak, Malysia in 50 m of Waterdepth. The TCP flowline is connected to a TCP riser retrofitted to an existing Wellhead Jacket. The installation required the simultaneous handling of the riser and flowline part. The installation was successfully executed in December 2017. The flowline is currently producing oil through this 6” ID riser and flowline system.

June 13th, 15:30-16:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Installation of the world’s first floating wind park

Yngve Børstad, TECHNIPFMC The Hywind technology was conceived in 2001 and by 2009 the concept had matured enough to install the world’s first floating wind turbine. In 2017 the Hywind concept was deployed at a large scale for the first time in the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park. The park is the world’s first floating wind park and powers over 20 000 UK homes. Floating wind power is still in its early stages, but has great potential in most areas of the world. Turbine size and technology is rapidly developing and it is likely that we will see much larger floating wind parks in the future. In the Hywind Scotland project TechnipFMC was responsible for transport of tower and substructure, inshore operations related to assembly in Norway, vertical towing of the completed turbines to Scotland, installation of the anchoring system as well as the hook up of the turbines to the mooring lines in the field. The presentation outlines the main technical challenges faced in the planning of TechnipFMC’s operations at Hywind Scotland, as well as an overview of the experience gained during project execution.

June 13th, 16:30-17:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Subsea Power Distribution - Tool kit for subsea processing

Knut Rongve, ABB ABB has since 2013 been running a Joint Industry project together with Equinor, Chevron and Total to develop technologies for subsea power transmission, distribution and conversion at greater distances, in deeper waters and in harsher environments. The project is targeting a 3000-hour shallow-water system test in 2019, including the qualification of pressure tolerant medium voltage switchgear, medium voltage drives, as well as supporting controls and auxiliary supplies. The target environment is water depths up to 3000 meters, transmission distances up to 600 km, and power levels up to 100 MW. This presentation will show the latest progress and achievements on the technology developments for high/medium voltage subsea power distribution main building blocks. The successful test of the subsea VSD performed in November 2018 is an important milestone in the project and the subsea VSD operated continuously for approx. 6 weeks under water. The subsea VSD operated in back-to-back configuration directly with the grid. The focus of for the completed test was on thermal performance of the subsea VSD. The test demonstrated the successful and reliable operation of the drive during different load conditions. Main topics for the presentation will be: • Introduction to Subsea Power Distribution Technology • Presenting main power building blocks for Subsea Power Distribution • Latest status and achievements from the Subsea Power JIP • Presenting findings and lessons learned from shallow water testing

June 13th, 17:00-17:30, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Siemens Subsea Power Grid – now ready to unlock the potential of more subsea processing

Bjørn Rasch, SIEMENS Siemens has over the last years worked dedicatedly to develop and qualify a subsea power distribution system. The goal has been to create and qualify a complete and deployable power distribution system including all required subsea connection solutions as well as an overall power control & communication system to realize full subsea digitalization with high performance standardized interfaces. This system is now ready for the final phase of qualification where the performance parameters of the system are verified in a subsea environment. All system units will be qualified for operation at 3000 m water depth. The qualification has been performed in close collaboration with 4 major operators in order to ensure compliance with the future requirements.

This presentation will focus on the complete journey from idea through component qualification, material compatibility and pressure testing to system verification and final full load testing in intended environment. The Subsea Power Grid is now a unique tool for unlocking the potential of more subsea processing in order to increase recovery and boost production in a sustainable and environmentaly friendly way.

June 13th, 17:30-18:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Cost and value engineered power system with a High Voltage subsea electrical induction motor – A simplification of the subsea power distribution system

Kay Kristiansen, ONESUBSEA The power drive system of a subsea boosting application consists of a Variable Speed Drive supplying power to the subsea booster pump through an umbilical. Transformers may be used to elevate the transmission voltage for longer step outs (typically >15km). The induction motor for OneSubsea Processing applications have for more than 20 years had a voltage rating at max 6.6kV based on standard motor classing. It was designed for continuous operation with a single earth fault in compliance with IEC voltage class 6/10(12) kV (IEC 60502). As a result of our comprehensive and successful track record, operation with earth fault has been removed as a firm requirement for some applications, allowing the rated operating voltage to be increased.

Elevating the rated motor voltage and hence the transmission voltage, enables subsea boosting applications with longer step out, eliminating the need for step-up/-down transformers. In 2016 OneSubsea launched and successfully executed a fast track development- and qualification program including design activities, analyses, test and manufacturing of a prototype 10.5kV High Voltage Motor unit. The qualification of an induction motor with increased voltage rating was since then been the enabler for the award of two major boosting system projects. The possibility of a simplified layout can now contribute to a significant reduction in installation cost, complexity and risk associated with the deployment of systems with subsea transformers. However, a holistic system approach needs to be considered to determine the best cost and value engineered solution.

ASSET MANAGEMENT/INCREASED RECOVERY/LIFE-OF-FIELD SOLUTIONS June 13th, 14:30-15:00, Track 3 @Troldtog New concept for long distance subsea tie-back

Karl Jørgen Kristiansen, EQUINOR One conventional development of green field off-shore oil is by using local fixed platforms or floaters/FPSOs, oil processing and off-shore loading. These are costly and complex facilities to be installed and manned by expensive logistics with inherent safety challenges. In very remote areas, and/or hostile climatic/weather environments, local surface processing may not be considered acceptable on a range of parameters. In more developed, mature areas, subsea tie-back solutions to existing processing facilities are usually applied. The maximum tie-back distance to existing infra-structure is often limited by conventional concepts struggling with range limitation, and expensive complex solutions for pipeline heating, to provide acceptable flow assurance. The Thermoil™ concept aims to provide for full subsea development, of oil dominated fields, and facilitate long distance tie-back to a central processing facility or to an onshore oil terminal. It consists of ultra-long insulated pipe-in-pipe flow segments with subsea pumping and heating facilities which can expand into a flexible infrastructure serving multiple fields simultaneously or in sequence.

June 13th, 15:00-15:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Deep Water Boosting Design in an Operational Perspective

Gandi Rahmawan Setyadi, TECHNIPFMC Deep water oil developments often require the use of an artificial lift. Subsea boosting technologies provides robust performance, and the installed base of subsea boosting pumps is steadily increasing. The need for better understanding of how more cost-efficient systems can be designed and operated has led to the development of improved operational design methodologies that also can be transferred to online advisory systems. By investigating the interaction of parameters in the full system and identify which key parameters to monitor it is possible to make a less conservative design, hence both investment and operational costs are reduced. Use of an online flow advisory system including all physical parameters relevant for the subsea boosting station will enable further optimization of the production and equipment utilization during life-of field. Specific examples will be presented. By designing the system with temperature monitoring, requirements for insulation and preservation can be reduced. By designing the system to operate at best efficiency, requirement for power and performance can be reduced. Hence, significant cost savings are obtained, while robustness and safety remain.

June 13th, 15:30-16:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Multiphase Flow Splitting in Åsgard SCMS

Henrik Alfredsson, AKER SOLUTIONS Åsgard Subsea Compression was successfully brought on stream in September 2015 boosting the gas pressure from the Midgard and Mikkel fields. Going forward, the Åsgard Subsea Compression Phase 2 project will further increase the pressure ratio for the station extending the life of the field. A possibility to increase the pressure ratio has been identified by means of introducing wet gas compression which is achieved by purposely injecting liquid upstream of each compressor. Since early 2017 the flow from the four import lines are co-mingled in the upstream manifold and unevenly split towards each train.

This increases compression efficiency but causes a challenge as liquid distribution across the two trains can’t be controlled. The situation is made more complex as the liquid content is expected to change with reducing pressure and new wells coming on stream. For this purpose a co-operation between Equinor and Aker Solutions was initiated with the goal of determining how a multiphase flow split can be predictively modelled in the subsea framework.

This paper covers the work performed and how it translates into life extension on Åsgard. Measurements from operations will be compared to built CFD models showing how fidelity simulations today can be used to predict the complex mechanisms behind a three phase uneven flow split. The same modelling techniques are then used to predict the multiphase flow split for lower operating pressures, enabling life extension without risk of running trains dry.

24

June 13th, 16:30-17:00, Track 3 @Troldtog The Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority’s perspective on the HSE status and challenges for the subsea industry.

Geir Løland, PETROLIUM SAFETY The Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA Norway) HSE regulations applies to the petroleum activities in Norway, including subsea production systems. Incidents including acute spills must be reported to PSA, and we have thus a comprehensive overview of incidents, accidents and other challenges the subsea industry experience. Furthermore, our supervision activities contribute to the continuous improvement of the safety of the petroleum activities and is an important source for assessing the safety status. We will in our presentation show statistics for incidents related to subsea production systems.

Furthermore, the challenges the subsea industry has today and will meet in the future will be addressed from PSA’s perspective. By working together, the combined knowledge of suppliers, operators and authorities, can be utilized to improve the safety level and achieve reduced costs. Openness and sharing of previous experience are key success factors, and the objective of PSA’s presentation is to share our experience and knowledge with you.

June 13th, 17:00-17:30, Track 3 @Troldtog A revised DNV-GL, RP-E101 “Recertification of well control equipment” reflecting new business models within subsea maintenance

Torbjørn Espeland, DNV GL DNV-GL has been involved in verification of maintenance activities on critical subsea well equipment for many years. In 2017 a new revision of our Recommended Practice DNV-GL-RP-E101 was issued, based on continuous interaction with market partners that supported a revision of this service document. The purpose of the revision was to harmonize different RP's addressing the same topic and make the document applicable globally, but most importantly to reflect the changes in the market. DNV GL see that the drop-in oil price has led to new business models within subsea maintenance with significantly lower volume and cost levels. We also see that the non-OEM side of the market has grown. The balancing act is now to keep a quality control level that secures technical integrity, and at the same time demonstrate an acceptable service cost. The revised DNV-GL-RP-E101 underlines the benefits of a risk-based or condition-based approach in terms of scoping only the critical components and processes for verification. With the revised document DNV GL, as an independent party, has taken the market changes into account and facilitated for the new business models, in order for all players to succeed with the goal of having safe and operational well control equipment.

June 13th, 17:30-18:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Eelume - Flexible underwater vehicles for inspection and intervention Pål Liljebäck, EELUME AS Since its establishment in 2015, Eelume has been developing a new type of underwater vehicle in close collaboration with Equinor and Kongsberg Maritime. The vehicle, which emerged from more than 10 years of research on snake robotics at NTNU and SINTEF in Trondheim, has a long and flexible body made up of joints and thrusters. The vehicle concept combines capabilities of small ROVs (access at restricted locations due to a slender and flexible body), torpedo-shaped AUVs (transit over long distances with straight body shape), and work-class ROVs (vehicle body is in itself a robotic arm). This paper gives an overview of recent development and testing of Eelume vehicles during 2017. The development has targeted three essential vehicle capabilities: 1) 500 m depth rating, 2) operation of a class 4 torque tool, and 3) subsea residence. These vehicle capabilities were demonstrated in Trondheimsfjorden in November 2017. The paper also presents developments of the vehicle planned for 2018, which involve a subsea pilot at Åsgard towards the end of the year. The pilot installation will consist of a subsea garage containing a tethered Eelume vehicle. The duration of the pilot will be about 1 month, during which the inspection and valve operation capability of the vehicle will be qualified. The plans for 2018 also involve steps towards a completely wireless vehicle in 2019. Onboard battery power, an inductive charging interface, and a wireless communication link are essential components in this development.

DAY 2 - PARALLEL SESSIONS FIELD DEVELOPMENTS / SYSTEMS SOLUTIONS June 14th, 09:30-10:00, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Subsea Water Treatment – A Unique Water Treatment Solution

Torbjørn Hegdal, NOV Treating seawater at the seabed allows for a very effective disinfection and removal of particles, solving the traditional maintenance intensive topside solutions. Moving water treatment from topside to the seabed reduces weight and space requirements topside and simplifies the process significantly since weight and space are no longer an issue. At the seabed, Seabox™ is a system without any moving parts and filters, and is significantly simpler than the traditional topside systems. Treated seawater has many applications. Platform topside process systems require large volume of waters for cooling and traditional topside water systems are rather maintenance intensive. Treated seawater for water injection into the reservoir is another high-volume application. The Seabox™ is a unique system that ensures proper disinfection of water and removal of particles for different applications. Water quality for water injection into the reservoir may require further treatment of the water, like removing all suspended solids, removing sulphate or producing low salinity water. Part of the quality specifications are for protecting the reservoir and facilities, other parts are for changing conditions in the reservoir to increase production and oil recovery. No chemicals are added in the water treatment at seabed, the required chemicals for the disinfection are produced in the Seabox™. The subsea solution is more energy efficient, resulting in less cost and reduced CO2 footprint. Maintenance is limited to an intervention every fourth year. The focus of this presentation is the subsea water treatment and value proposition related to water intake.

June 14th, 10:00-10:30, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Mapping Subsea All-Electric

Kristin Moe Elgsaas, BHGE Subsea electrification has gotten much attention over the last few years. Several companies – suppliers and operators alike – have publicly shared results from studies showing expected cost reduction and operational benefits. All-Electric solutions open for rethinking many current assumptions and design practices. Removing or reducing hydraulic lines and associated equipment impacts hardware from topsides to downhole, and all phases of project execution. During system definition, there is an almost endless combination of technologies and concepts with unique sets of benefits – or lack thereof.

This is coupled with the desire to qualify structured and standard solutions that are applicable for the majority of fields and acceptable to the majority of operators. Hence, adopting a process that allows efficient screening and down-selection of options that realize the most system level benefits while ensuring safe operation – yet is both structured and flexible – is a complex, but critically important activity at the start of any development process to ensure qualification of the right solutions. One BHGE outcome of this process is the implementation of transmission system modularity which allows the combination of standard, modular core technologies and system level flexibility to meet different tie-back distances and field layouts. The result is an Envelope Map. This presentation will present a methodology for optimizing system level benefits including identifying the right balance between existing and novel technologies for All-Electric, describe the process for developing the BHGE Envelope Map, and finally give a view of current and future envelope needs and potential solutions.

June 14th, 10:30-11:00, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Fast-Track Integrated Field Development: Optimizing and Accelerating Economic Project Returns

Thomas Lindvig, ONESUBSEA Developing today’s subsea fields continues to grow in complexity. Most prospects are smaller yet located in deeper waters, with deeper well targets, located farther from shore, and in colder regions. As a result, sanctioning projects in the current oil price environment is challenging and adopting efficient field development plan (FDP) processes is essential to making projects viable. A fast-track FDP platform has been developed and used with great success on numerous projects worldwide. The platform integrates layout development and equipment selection with fully integrated pore to process simulation, establishes an excellent collaboration platform for the development team, and fully enables close collaboration between teams that traditionally do not work closely together. Subsea production system (SPS) and subsea umbilical, riser and flowline (SURF) specialists can now work closely together with reservoir, production and drilling engineers, ensuring the development of optimal solutions early in the FDP process while enabling the teams to overcome challenges that have previously been imposed by the segregation of the different technical disciplines. The key feature of this process is rapid, accurate scenario generation—that is, much shorter time from initial layout development to life-of-field production profiles that maximize overall economic performance for the project. The experience gathered to date clearly demonstrates that a fully integrated approach to field development is crucial for implementing the optimal development concept that maximizes returns on investment.

ASSET MANAGEMENT/INCREASED RECOVERY/LIFE-OF-FIELD SOLUTIONS June 14th, 14:00-14:30, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Equinor Strategy for Underwater Intervention Drone (UID™)

Marianne Bryhni Asla, EQUINOR The Equinor Underwater Intervention Drone (UID™) strategy describes the future use of remotely operated, semi-autonomous and autonomous underwater vehicles for subsea operations. The impact for Equinor will be higher production efficiency (PE), lower operational expenditure (OPEX), lower HSE risk and lower carbon footprint for new and existing oil and gas producing fields with subsea facilities and installations. The underwater intervention drone technology will be an enabler for more cost efficient field development for marginal fields and fields located in challenging conditions. A UID™ is a new collective term used for all types of underwater vehicles performing tasks under sea surface related to the oil and gas industry. The industry has many specific abbreviations for this type of vehicle e.g.; WROV, ROV, RROV, EROV, AUV, AIV, etc. UID™ is in this context a common name for all these abbreviations. The future UID™ is believed to be merging of the traditional ROVs and AUVs towards a vehicle manoeuvring in all directions and with hover capabilities in the sea column with remote control and/or autonomous programming. The future UID™ will be powered by an integrated battery and/or power source, that can be charged from a subsea docking station or by tether or umbilical to a structure that enables power and communication back to shore/control room/Operator. Typically, the UID™ can be operated from offshore (platform/vessel/rig) or onshore and can be submerged over longer periods (>one year). The paper will present a description of the UID™ concept and strategic approach to the industry.

June 14th, 14:30-15:00, Track 1 @Peer Gynt The Transformation of Underwater Vehicles; key to reducing IRM costs

Wayne Sherry, SUBSEA 7 Subsea Inspection Repair and Maintenance (IRM) services have traditionally been vessel-based, relying on Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) or Diver operations. The industry challenge to reduce costs is driving the development of new working practices, leveraging the latest in communications, system electrification and autonomous technologies to enhance underwater vehicle capability. The initial focus on qualification of ROVs operated from shorebased control rooms and high speed survey vehicles is now being followed by investigations into seabed resident hybrid vehicles. The targeted benefits are Cost reduction, enabling Digitalization and condition-based monitoring, reduced Environmental impact (eg. low carbon footprint), reduced HSE Risk and increased production efficiency. This paper comments on the current status of development and presents an overview of the equipment and technologies (both existing and to be developed) required to be in place to deliver the service benefits targeted.

June 14th, 15:00-15:30, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Freedom vehicle - The subsea transformer!

Arve Iversen, OCEANEERING The subsea industry is looking for more cost-effective methods of executing ROV-related activities. Today there are vehicles in the market supporting both remote- and autonomous operations, but clients are pushing for more intervention related capabilities to meet their needs. In addition to environmental friendly solutions, they want flexibility, autonomy, and more efficient operating methods. To meet these demands Oceaneering has embarked on a major ROV/AUV development project; “Freedom”.

The Freedom concept comes as a natural progression from the successful development of Oceaneering’s onshore Mission Support Center for remote operations, in combination with the “E-ROV” pilot project performed together with Equinor in 2017 at the Troll field. An aggressive 2-year “Freedom” development schedule is now in progress.

The Freedom vehicle is a completely new designed multi role subsea vehicle, merging the capabilities we today associate with ROV, AUV and drones all consolidated into one package. The modular design solution makes it possible to tailor the Freedom vehicle for a multitude of missions; Observation, inspection, survey and light intervention, to mention some. The vehicle can operate in an autonomous mode, or be fully real-time controlled with through water communication or a tether.

These features make the Freedom vehicle exceptionally well suited as the resident ROV the subsea industry is seeking now. Also, supported by advanced docking stations where the vehicle can download missions, charge batteries, swap tooling, upload video and sensor data, makes it a powerful subsea janitor.

DIGITALIZATION, POWER, CONTROLS AND UMBILICALS - SUBTOPIC June 14th, 09:30-10:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Condition monitoring and real-time digital twins for the Oil&Gas industry

Stefan Schlömilch, SAP/FEDEM TECHNOLOGY Fedem Technology, a well-established supplier of advanced analysis services to the O&G industry, was acquired by SAP in 2016. Together, SAP/Fedem are digitalizing engineering know-how. The presentation will show how the IoT technology stack can be combined with real-time structural analysis (FEA) software and machine learning to enable the next generation of condition monitoring. Live projects from the area of wind power, infrastructure and manufacturing will be showcased. Detailed descriptions and demos of how the technology can be applied in the Oil&Gas industry will be outlined.

The condition monitoring solution is relevant for any structures exposed to dynamic loads and rotating machinery. The highlighted projects will include examples of rigid static structures, flexible static structures and rotating machinery. The advantages to the end user include: Deeper knowledge of the structure, maintenance and inspection optimization, fatigue life documentation, early warning of failures, improved basis for life time extension, and potential upgrading of capacity. The technology will in combination with other Industry 4.0 applications enable the creation of new business models and technical solutions, which until now have been impossible such as unmanned and autonomous operations and advanced designs.

June 14th, 09:30-10:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang A Digital Solution for Subsea Production Management

Carsten Russenes, ONESUBSEA As oil and gas operators invest in digital transformation, there is an increased expectation of supplier digital solutions that extend across the value chain and integrate with the digital philosophy of the operators. Advanced technology (sensors, controls, equipment, modelling engines, analytics and software) must connect to intelligent, automated and autonomous real-time systems to provide actionable information for the operator. Key challenges operators are facing are preventing production down time and at the same time maintaining the integrity, metrology and operability of the subsea production equipment, to reach their production targets. FRIENDTM Integrated Production Management Solution is a state-of-the-art OneSubsea solution that connects subsea equipment, sensors and actuators, via a Master Control System (MCS), to a secure hosted data environment. It is important to consistently interpret what is happening, why it is happening, what is likely to happen next and how to control it. The combination of advanced analytics, multiphase flow simulations and production assurance models make it possible to derive actionable information for operational support. Major achievements after using the system for more than a decade include increased up-time (availability), improved run hours for rotating equipment, and increased performance and accuracy of multiphase flow measurements. Having access to real-time data has also made it possible to practice a consistent, proactive and integrated working methodology between the operator and supplier that safeguards best operational practices. This presentation will describe the overall solution and main components as well as how it provides value in daily operations for various categories of users.

June 14th, 09:30-10:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Not all pipelines are made the same

Lewis Kemp, WOODSIDE ENERGY ‘Subsea pipeline design, construction and operational management has a long history, much of it associated with empirical formulae, analogue data and even ‘rule of thumb’. Specialist disciplines have been formed to capitalize on the computing power of day and enable detailed assessments of fatigue, bucking, stability and corrosion to be undertaken. Over the years there have been many incremental improvements in the design, construction and operation of subsea pipelines but where will we see the step change that the industry has been searching for? Can a digital twin approach to Subsea pipelines provide this step change? ‘Not all pipelines are made the same’ attempts to articulate the aspiration and, describe the journey that Woodside is currently undertaking to significantly change the way it builds and operates its subsea pipeline systems.’

June 14th, 14:30-15:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Functional Safety in All-Electric Subsea Control Systems

Carsten Mahler, ONESUBSEA and Markus Glaser, AALEN UNIVERSITY Objectives/Scope: This paper discusses a novel all-electric control system architecture that uses batteries instead of mechanical springs to provide the required energy for failsafe valve actuation. To evaluate the reliability of the safety instrumented system, the functional safety principles are explored.

•Methods, Procedures, Process: The paper covers the analysis of functional safety principles when implemented in an all-electric control system. The paper considers the principles of probability of failure on demand (PFD), diagnostic coverage, hardware fault tolerance, component type, and functional safety management as well as the system’s capabilities in regards to these principles.

•Results, Observations, Conclusions: Functional safety and the related safety integrity level (SIL) are based on PFD, systematic capability, and functional safety management. The all-electric control system systematic capability is directly related to the redundancy concept, which can be used for safety, availability, or both. Because of its built-in diagnostics, the system offers an enormous degree of diagnostic coverage. Based on the component failure rates, the PFD can be calculated. The functional safety management requires dedicated activities throughout the development process. This is ensured by independent review personal. Depending on the desired SIL (e.g., SIL3), an independent review of the development ensures the compliance with the functional safety standard.

• Novel/Additive Information: The paper provides a detailed study of the functional safety principles of, their impact on, and a capability analysis of the all-electric control system.

June 14th, 15:00-15:30, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Subsea Digitalization – next generation of a control system for subsea processing and power distribution

Karstein Berge Kristiansen, SIEMENS Demands for deterministic behaviour, low latency, and high bandwidth would be the main requirements for the next generation of a subsea control systems. This paper presents a topology and a principal solution for a subsea control system fulfilling functional requirements for subsea processing and control of subsea power distribution networks. This paper aims to describe a setup for a control system for subsea usage based on open and available industrial communication and interface standards used in regular topside automation industry. No interfaces or communication methods are vendor specific. The next generation control system connects topside interfaces to the seabed, removing existing boundaries which will drive towards a system simplification and a communication infrastructure that allows connecting controls devices from different vendors. Removing the present boundary between topside and subsea control systems gives the opportunity to use the same digitalization portfolio for both topside and subsea installed parts/ components. Diagnostic tools based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) are already available in regular topside automation portfolio from several different vendors and would be available for monitoring and diagnostic on subsea installed equipment in the proposed solution. Physical locations (subsea or topside) of data inputs/objects are irrelevant regarding functionality for the setup in the proposed solution. Introducing open industry standards in subsea control systems makes the proposed setup independent of company specific standards and interfaces, thus removing requirements for one vendor only setup.

Subsea part of proposed setup could be interfaced to any topside control system utilizing standard communication protocols.

SURF, SPS AND MARINE OPERATIONS June 14th, 09:30-10:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Automated Pigging Operations

Marius Bjørn, NOV Operators are constantly looking for new solutions to improve the economics of new oil or gas fields. Specifically, Operators could see benefits in the development of subsea solutions for long distance tie-backs to existing platforms or on-shore facilities. Pigging is an important part of tie-back pipeline maintenance and inspection, and NOV proposes a new method for simplifying subsea pigging operations by reducing operation cost and improving safety operation (remove MSV intervention). In order to simplify pipeline systems, NOV, Total and Shell are developing the Subsea Automatic Pig Launcher (SAPL), a pigging system that can be permanently installed on the seabed. The SAPL draws on established topside pigging technology and promises a flexible and robust technology that allows for a range of pigging operations including intelligent pigging. It eliminates the need for a second flowline just to enable pigging and wax/slug handling and reduces the number of days required for vessel mobilization, consequently improving also the safety (less lifting operation). On the operational side, it minimizes the use of an ROV-equipped vessel and encourages the frequent pigging that can help avoid blockages and production shutdowns. The main idea is that you can sit onshore, or on a platform, and push a button to launch a pig and you perform the reloading once a year! NOV engineers will explain the technology and experience archived during the qualification testing performed on the west coast of Norway Q1 2018.

June 14th, 10:00-10:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Delivering effective well recompletion through team work

Niel Addison, AKERBP Well failures in May and July 2017 resulted in removal of two Xmas Trees from operation and significant lost production. Recompletion was sanctioned, with a stretch target of production reinstatement within an opportunistic 61-day rig window in Q4 2017. Due to ambitious schedule targets rig intake, equipment preparation, procedure development and risk assessment were all placed on the critical path. Due to available equipment configuration bore depressurisation cycles required direction of fluids to the asset, increasing rig and asset simultaneous operations. A one team approach was used, with proactive engagement including asset, drilling, subsea and multiple suppliers. Process modelling of the planned operations provided an accurate execution framework for work to be performed within. Story board presentation of the key steps allowed optimization of the activity sequence, and clear basis for risk assessment. Changes to plan during execution were controlled through rigorous use of procedure updates, management of change and risk assessment.

The operation also utilised an ROV piloted from shore to optimise offshore headcount. The workover was safely completed in December 2017, re-instating production from one of the wells and allowing onshore hardware investigation to be undertaken. The failed equipment was available for testing within a week of its recovery. Production was restarted within 5 months of failure. Around 100 lessons were captured during the work, to be used as basis for further well recompletion in 2018. This presentation will describe and explain how this success was achieved.

June 14th, 10:30-11:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Low Cost Pipelines: unlocking the affordability of Long Subsea Tie-Backs

Hosi Sabavala, WOODSIDE ENERGY As subsea tie back lengths increase, the cost of a pipeline systems becomes a significant portion of the capital expenditure for a long subsea tie backs. Our Long Subsea tie back technology program has predominately focused its attention on subsea electrification, flow assurance, subsea processing and boosting technologies. However, as step out distance to existing facilities increases, the pipeline infrastructure dominates the affordability of the Long Subsea Tiebacks (LSTB). This begs the question – How do we move the dial to reset pipeline cost norms to enable commercialisation of remote and marginal field opportunity in the current economic climate? We believe to achieve a truly transformational result we must address every element of the pipeline activity set both individually and in an integrated system manner. This presentation describes a number of step change and disruptive cost reduction opportunities across the whole pipeline supply chain (engineering, procurement, Installation).

June 14th, 14:00-14:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Remote Operated Subsea Lifting Operations

Asmund Saetre, AXTECH Operating equipment on offshore vessels from a remote location has been a well-debated topic for many years. For long, this was just a wild idea, but the later year’s focus on digitalization and the introduction of a stable high-speed 4G mobile network in the North Sea suddenly brought it within range. The introduction of this technology and its opportunities made AXTech start an R&D project to develop different concepts for Remote Support and Operation.

To test the concepts, AXTech set up a remote-control room connected to one of our Module Handling Systems, enabling us to perform tests in a real life environment. The scope was not only to verify technology, but also to get hands-on experience on operating advanced lifting equipment from a distance as well as providing offshore operators audio and video support from onshore expert operators. We paid special interest in the user experience, thus audio and video became important topics, considering both traditional CCTV as well and use of modern technologies such as Augmented Reality and Body Cameras.

We made some unexpected experiences but all in all the tests were successful and we believe that the tests are some of the first steps on the way to fully remote operations. We would like to present the findings we have made so far and share some of our experiences around Remote Operation and Support, Body Cameras and Augmented Reality in Subsea Lifting Operations.

June 14th, 14:30-15:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Creating efficient manufacturing requirements for subsea equipment

Gustav Heiberg, DNV GL The ability to produce oil and gas in the most cost-effective way will be an important going forward. To support this DNV GL have driven several standardization initiatives related to manufacturing and subsea equipment. One key initiative is a joint industry effort to prepare requirements for parts manufactured by additive manufacturing. We have found that additive manufacturing can open vast opportunities for customized parts and new supply chain setups. An important prerequisite is clear requirements for parts ensuring quality in the most cost-effective way possible. For mature manufacturing processes like welding and forging DNV GL we have found that harmonized requirements can generate significant value. DNV GL have facilitated and industry wide undertaking to create harmonized requirements. For welding of subsea equipment significant progress has been made in the last 12 months.

The DNV GL recommended practices for subsea forgings DNVGL-RP-0034 and DNVGL-RP-B202 has gained wide recognition and is being adopted throughout the industry. DNV GL have made valuable learnings from involvement in the implementation phase.

June 14th, 15:00-15:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Reactive Flex-Joint – a qualified and field proven solution for Wellhead fatigue challenges

Knut Olav Sønåsen, TECHNIPFMC Awareness of lower available Wellhead fatigue life increases as the industry gains more knowledge through analysis and tests. Loads on Wellhead are affected by vessel movements transferred through Marine Riser and Blow Out Preventer. These loads cause cyclical bending moments and Wellhead fatigue degradation. TechnipFMC has developed and qualified a unique technology to decrease cyclical bending moments for significant reduction of Wellhead fatigue damage. The presentation covers how TechnipFMC together with a main customer developed and qualified the Reactive Flex-Joint technology. The presentation contains results from the first subsea operation performed during an ongoing rig campaign.

DAY 2 STUDENTS SESSIONS June 14th, 08:30-09:00, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Subsea Battery Safety and Reliability Analysis and Results

Julian Popp, Aalen University Objectives: Cost reduction, deep water, HSE and the reduction of carbon footprint promote the change from hydraulic actuators towards electric actuators in multiple applications in the offshore oil and gas production. The usage of subsea batteries reduces the cost for high power umbilicals and power distribution. Typical applications include: valve actuators, pumps, manipulator and measurement applications. Each of them with different requirements for power, energy and lifetime. All of them require extremely high safety and reliability. The evaluation covers a detailed analysis from cell level to battery level including the results from an FMECA and testing results.

Methods: The safety, reliability and performance of battery is analyzed theoretically and verified in tests. Thereby, a subsea battery architecture is developed to satisfy the safety and reliability requirements for the different applications.

Results: Different cell types are evaluated according to the subsea requirements. The cell test includes: tested external and internal shortcut, thermal runaway, cycling and aging. The developed battery architecture includes the charging, protection and condition monitoring functionalities. Different battery architectures (central and decentral) are analyzed towards the safety and reliability capability. A Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) evaluates the product lifecycle towards external influences to detect possible handling failures or misuse of the battery. A Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) discovers high risk failures. Mitigating actions enhance the battery architecture and the testing program, this leads to a safe and reliable subsea battery.

June 14th, 09:00-09:30, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Analysis of Sand Particle Erosion in Gas Pipeline Bends

Yeisson C. Diaz, University of Aberdeen Sand production along with reservoir fluids is a very common issue that can cause major flow assurance problems for the Oil and Gas industry. To mention a few, this can cause an increment in the pressure drop, blockages and erosion of pipelines. The Erosion is caused by the continuous impact of sand particles against the pipe wall surface that can finally result in several failures and degrade of the pipe integrity, following catastrophic environmental and financial consequences. Some parts of the pipeline, mainly in where an abrupt change of flow direction is located, this phenomenon can take place.

The areas particularly vulnerable to erosion are commonly the pipe elbows, tees, among others. This project makes use of Computational Fluid Dynamics to analyse the behaviour of the erosion processes in a pipeline bend. The effects of sand particle size, quantity and gas flow rates are considered in the erosion process of a pipe elbow to provide a better understanding of this phenomenon. Final recommendations and possible mitigation of the problem are discussed, providing some guidelines for better, safe and optimal production operations.
