Underwater Technology Foundation welcomes you to the 20th UTC UTC started out in Bergen in 1980. For the first 30 years the conference was a biannually event, becoming an annual event from 2010. This year we are proudly hosting and celebrating the 20th subsea technology conference in Bergen.

The conference has evolved to become an important event for the international subsea industry, attracting managers and technologists from all parts of the world. As we can see in UTFs archive, the focus on subsea technology has since the start been the core of UTC. Many of the solutions presented in 1980, which at the time were considered to be technologically far-fetched, have become a reality and are currently utilised by the subsea sector. This only highlights the importance of conferences like UTC. The conference papers, from the infancy of subsea production on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and through the nineties, gives an interesting and valuable insight to the industry’s accomplishments. As a celebration of the 20th UTC, we will publish the papers presented at UTC from 1982 – 1996 digitally.

Our industry is facing a continuously more complex market, and the need for collaboration and standardisation is more relevant than ever. Join us in discussing the solutions for the future at UTC 2014; “Subsea- facing new realities. Market and technology complexity,

inspiring industry collaboration”.

The Underwater Technology Foundation (UTF) is a noncommercial entity, and the organiser of UTC. The foundation’s goal is to promote increased knowledge of the subsea sector, and thus funds research and training at university level.

Welcome to Bergen and the 20th Underwater Technology Conference!

On behalf of UTF Jarle Daae Chairman of the Board, UTF

Greetings from the Program Committee It is again time for the subsea community to meet, socialize and challenge one another. UTC would like to be a vehicle to broaden the applicability and enhance the competitiveness of subsea technology.

This year’s theme ‘Subsea –facing new realities’ is meant to give us the sense of urgency required to get us in mode for change. Following on this the subtheme ‘Market and technology complexity, inspiring industry collaboration’, we believe points toward a crucial enabler.

Collaboration in the right setting and mix with competition will position us to achieve our goals.

Our technical program is designed to share important developments and learnings within the different phases of technological and subsea field lifespan from qualification to lifetime extension. Equally important as sharing is getting together to agree on specifications and standards.

In this context, I would like to focus the attention on the ongoing JIP’s for Forgings, Umbilical Termination Size Reductions (UMSIRE) and Documentation. Making an analogy with the car industry – which costumer would require his own material properties in the engine block, her own design on the petrol-tanking interface and narrate the script of the owner’s manual?

One such initiative that has succeeded is the Subsea Electrical Power Standardization JIP that has issued the SEPS SP-1001 ‘Power

connectors, penetrators and jumper assemblies with rated voltage from 3kV to 30 kV’ as a joint IEC/IEEE standard.

Great work - and a key to effective and efficient design and execution of subsea processing facilities, aka subsea factories. As an industry we need to succeed on the other ongoing initiatives – and initiate new ones - to stay competitive. This is a challenge to all of us.

We hope you will find this year’s UTC program inspiring and invite you all to take part in forming the next steps within the subsea industry.

WELCOME TO BERGEN Region of excellence Bergen, and Hordaland county as a whole, is a very significant energy region

We notice that the oil companies work closely with exploration and research enterprises and, not least, with supplier companies.

This cooperation has resulted in technological innovations and advancements in relation to business, production, maintenance and modifications and, not least, in the marine technology field.

This development has not only generated success and positive regional and national growth; it has also placed Norway on the international petroleum map to a large extent.

Bergen, the city between the seven mountains, was founded by Olav Kyrre in 1070. Bergen, which has about 260,000 residents, is Norway’s second largest city.

Bergen occupies a favourable position as a communication node, and its nickname, the Fjord Capital, indicates its significance as the gateway to the fjord districts.

Bergen’s university, colleges and various sporting and cultural institutions contribute

to its image as the educational and cultural heart of Western Norway. A number of attractions and events make the city a popular tourist destination. We invite all of our guests to take advantage of what the city has to offer in order to make their stay in Bergen inspirational and unforgettable.

As mayor, I am pleased to wish UTC 2014 good luck with the event, and to express my gratitude that Bergen will host so many dedicated UTC delegates for the 20th time.

The City of Bergen invites the conference delegates to a Reception in the Exhibition.

For more information, see page 25.

A region whose contributors have played a crucial role in the development of the history of the Norwegian oil and gas industry from the start. They will continue to build on this strong foundation with new developments and services for the industry both nationally and internationally.

TRUDE DREVLAND MAYOR OF BERGEN

Welcome to Bergen!

WELCOME TO BERGEN, THE GATEWAY TO THE FJORDS, AND THE SUBSEA CAPITAL OF THE WORLD Bergen is not only a beautiful city and a gateway to some of the most impressive natural wonders of the world, the great fjords. It is also one of the major subsea cities in the world. A huge proportion of the world’s some 4500 subsea wells are operated by specialists based in Bergen. The region is at the forefront in areas such as operation, maintenance and modification as well as supply of innovative and technical advanced products.

Strong contributor Statoil is one of the companies with a strong presence in this region. The company has clear targets for its underwater operations, and expects to realise its vision of subsea factories within 2020. Without strong contributions from companies in the Bergen region, such a bold vision would not be attainable.

Moving boundaries For Norway the sector is of fundamental strategic significance. It represents one of the few industry clusters of global and world-leading standard. The industry will be one of the sectors propelling, not only Norway, but also rest of the world, into the future.

Technological boundaries are being moved, and the new, innovative solutions can be used in a wide range of other sectors and areas. It comes without saying that the technological development in this sector is crucial.

WE ARE HOSTING THE OLDEST SUBSEA CONFERENCE IN THE WORLD 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 – and is steadily rising. 22 different nations was represented in 2013.

The conference attracts between 800 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, challenges are discussed and UTF is the host and organiser.

The foundation promotes knowledge UTF is, however, far more than just the Underwater Technology Conference – although focus on this event is high. The overall objective of the foundation is to promote increased knowledge of the subsea sector in the Bergen region. This is something the foundation will achieve through conferences such as UTC, which features an exhibition open to everyone interested in learning more about subsea. In addition, the foundation will hold exhibitions and meetings, and will contribute to research and training at university level. As an example, the University of Bergen was granted NOK 100 000 in 2013, in order to increase the places available to subsea students.

Grant To fulfil the latter, the foundation offers a grant available to applicants in need of financial support for a subsea related research or training project.

The foundation would like to see more applicants for the grant, and encourages anyone with a relevant project to apply.

Welcome to the factory floor Subsea production and processing systems

You are looking at the ‘subsea factory’ – oil and gas production facilities located directly on the seabed. It’s an ingenious response to today’s challenges of declining reservoir pressures and longer step-outs, and the next frontier in offshore engineering.

Operating 24/7, it’s a factory that runs continually throughout the life of the field, making long-term reliability and maintainability a critical part of every subsea component.

Today Aker Solutions offers the right subsea technology portfolio, multidisciplinary knowledge and large-scale project experience required to build, run and maintain a

production system on the seafloor. We are making the subsea factory vision a welcome reality.

As a proud sponsor of the Underwater Technology Conference 2014, Aker Solutions will be showcasing their technologies throughout the event at stand 4. We look forward to seeing you there.

STANDARDISATION ESSENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE OF THE SUBSEA INDUSTRY Complexity and cost levels in the subsea industry have exploded, and non-uniform standards set by operators are negative contributors. Increased consolidation is thus paramount for a more competitive industry.

- For an industry to maintain its competitive strength, one of the most important measures is standardisation of requirements and complexity in terms of deliveries, says President for Region Norway at Aker Solutions, Per Harald Kongelf.

Statoil has agreed to take part in a “Pit Stop” initiative.

- This ensures more effective and less time-consuming delivery of subsea valve trees - from over a year to 17 weeks, he says.

He also points out that as a supplier, the company is obliged to meet the operator’s requirements and specifications.

- Strengthening our collaboration with our competitors and subcontractors is not much We believe in further growth in the subsea help if the customers do not agree. Hence, industry, also in a long-term perspective. consensus among the oil companies in

Per Harald Kongelf, Aker Solutions terms of standards and their implementation is of utmost importance to sharpen our competitive edge with improved predictability and increased quality at every level, says Kongelf.

Reduced use of resources The topic for this year’s Underwater Technology Conference is “Subsea – facing new realities”. But what is the real outlook for the industry? In the media, there are reports of escalating costs and cuts. Indications so far in 2014 show a fall in contracts awarded compared to 2013, but Aker Solutions is still optimistic about the future.

- We believe in further growth in the subsea industry, also in a long-term perspective. Subsea seems to be a niche developing over time, but we have to ensure good and stable progress to remain in a strong position and to safeguard the excellent expertise acquired. Standardisation is paramount for controlled growth as this involves reduced use of engineer resources per delivery and more long-term planning and horizon, say Kongelf.

He admits that the costs of subsea solutions have reached a relatively high level.

- We will of course adapt to developments in the market, and will find the right solutions together with our customers through open dialogue and good collaboration, he says.

Strategic dialogue Kongelf emphasises that good strategic dialogue with customers is an important factor, and refers to their fabrication facilities at Ågotnes where Per Harald Kongelf, Aker Solutions

- UTC REPRESENTS QUALITIES WITH WHICH WE IDENTIFY The Underwater Technology Conference is an event of high professional standing and with strong emphasis on technology in the subsea segment. This is why Oceaneering has committed to act as main sponsor for the third year running.

operator and manufacturer of ROVs, Oceaneering offers a wide range of other products and solutions used in the oil and gas industry globally.

- We also supply a series of high-technology products and solutions developed for the topside segment. Drawing on our company’s expertise and experience, we are often able to seek out synergies and provide total solutions that are better and more effective than the ones currently in use, says Straume.

- We are a company in which technology is at the core of everything we do. The qualities represented by the Underwater Technology Conference in terms of focus on professional expertise and technology are something we are keen to associate with. This is one of the main reasons we have decided to act as sponsor for the third year running, says The qualities represented by the Underwater Technology Business Support Manager for Conference in terms of focus on professional expertise and Asset Integrity at Oceaneering, Morten Straume. technology are something we are keen to associate with.

New contacts However, the UTC sponsorship is far more than an opportunity for Oceaneering to identify with the qualities of the conference.

It is also about maximising

Morten Straume, Oceaneering business potential.

Five business areas - I am convinced that the UTC Oceaneering is one of the world’s leading engineering companies. With is of benefit in terms of business growth, and being present is part of our its headquarters based in Houston, the company employs 12 000 people across 25 countries. Its business operations cover five different areas: Asset strategy, says Straume. We are a global player, and a positive aspect of the conference is the increasing number of international participants. Last year, Integrity, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV), Subsea Products, Subsea Projects and Advanced Technologies. In addition to being the world’s largest over 20 countries and every single continent were represented.

MODERATOR`S COMMENTS - A program reflecting the complexity in the market The Underwater Technology Conference is highly technologyfocused, and compared to its predecessors this year’s event is certainly no exception.

- In my opinion, the program for Underwater Technology Conference this year is an excellent reflection of the complexity we currently experience in the market. The quality is high and the diversity superb, says Simon Davies, Project Manager for Technology Management at Statoil and moderator for the Underwater Technology Conference 2014.

Positive development Over the past few years, he has enjoyed first-hand experience of the conference both as a member of the program committee and as a participant.

- Personally, I see the conference as a key source of new knowledge drawn from the many presentations as well as conversations with colleagues. UTC brings the sector together, and opportunities and challenges are discussed in an informal setting, says Davies.

In his opinion, the conference has moved in a very positive direction over last four to five years.

- Presentations have reached a higher level in terms of quality and diversity.

Furthermore, the conference has become increasingly international. Delegates arrive from all over the world. To be able to offer a global arena of this calibre is highly advantageous for Norway, says Davies.

Performing two tasks at once The topic for this year’s conference is “Subsea – facing new realities. Market and technology complexity, inspiring industry collaboration”. According to Davies, the sector now faces the challenge of performing two tasks simultaneously.

- We have to achieve increased standardisation and a reduction in costs, and at the

same time ensure sustained innovation. This is important for a robust subsea industry, also for the future, says Davies.

A key issue to be discussed at this year’s conference is how to reduce costs without detracting from technological development.

- One cost-reducing measure is of course cheaper, simplified solutions, but innovation may also contribute to a more effective approach. It is not all about technical transformations; it is also about interaction and collaboration. Innovation relating to more effective work processes is one of the areas from which I believe the sector may benefit the most, says Davies.

DAY 1 – PARALLELL SESSIONS Field Development Concepts - Production and Processing 18 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Innovation in Riser Technology Edward Nakajima, Subsea Pipeline Construction and Installation Technical Team Leader, Chevron Energy Technology Company The Hinge Over Riser Assembly (HORA) is a CHEVRON patented concept that uses innovation to decrease project cost and reduce installation time in FSHR systems. HORA significantly reduces the offshore installation risks by reducing the installation schedule and thus mitigating the exposure to the weather. Additionally, it enables installation of the pipeline/riser system using a single common vessel rather than multiple specialized large heavy vessels, increases the installation schedule flexibility as it can be pre- and post- host installed, and permits full SIT/FAT of system prior to going offshore. The innovation is the elimination of the subsea-based jumper and that it enables installation of the in-line pipeline structure with the riser attached on a newly developed hinge system in one offshore campaign. The hinge adds new functionalities to the riser system from pre-installation to severe weather and arctic conditions.

FSHRs are technically very attractive and are to become an increasingly important solution to future growth portfolio. In some scenarios such as ultra-deepwater they can be enablers given the feasibility issues offered by other alternative riser systems.

As an enhancement to the conventional FSHR, the HORA enables a significant reduction to project CAPEX and SCHEDULE, increased reliability, and operating flexibility. The HORA concept could potentially result in riser installation cost savings of approximately 30-40%, schedule reduction of 40-60%, and a more reliable riser system with additional flexibility to deal with contingency scenarios. Reducing the subsea footprint makes HORA ideal in both brown field and green field developments.

18 June, 14:30 - 15:00, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt SPRINGS: Subsea Seawater Treatment - Preparation of Deep Offshore Tests Stephane Anres, R&D Project Manager, Saipem SPRINGS TM (Subsea PRocess and INjection Gear for Seawater) is a subsea technology for the treatment of seawater prior to injection into the wells. The qualification activities are well advanced and a first industrial application is being lined up for 2017.

The prime capability required of such a system is to remove sulfates from the seawater injection stream before they reach the reservoir, where severe scaling is likely to result if they mix with its often-high concentrations of barium or calcium.

In 2007, Total, Saipem and Veolia Water / VWS Westgarth joined forces to come up with robust solutions featuring the use of membranes to treat seawater on the deep offshore sea bed.

This paper provides information on the progress of the SPRINGS TM development to date with a special focus on the tests to be performed offshore in 2014 which aim to measure the rate of fouling and the performance of the membranes under in situ subsea conditions. The tests will use a Subsea Test Unit (STU), a small scale subsea module which is suspended by an umbilical from the production unit. The test program has been defined in order to maximize the value of the test results within the available 6-month time window.

The paper invites operators to envisage alternative strategies for water injection when developing remote satellite fields and to consider the membrane solution.

18 June, 15:00 - 15:30, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Subsea Processing and Field Optimization Tajudeen Omotayo Moshood, Principal Engineer, Statoil With the advent of moving processing facilities from topside to subsea, Statoil has made major technological advances in placing conventional processing equipment on the seabed. As of today, Statoil has successfully deployed subsea pumps and

30

subsea separators (Troll Pilot and Tordis). Statoil is also in the process of deploying the world’s first subsea compressors (at both the Åsgard- and Gullfaks field).

While there has been a gradual increase in the complexity of the subsea processing systems we have also advanced our analytical and modelling approach to subsea processing concept evaluation and selection. In our recent concept evaluation we have used an integrated modelling approach, in which subsea processing options are directly linked to reservoir models, flow lines and surface facilities. This enables us to see value added in terms of increased reservoir productivity, but also overview of entire system behaviour from reservoir to the topside, throughout the expected field life.

In this paper, we shall present a case study of both a green- and a brownfield development concept evaluation with subsea wet gas compression systems. Our integrated modelling approach demonstrates that subsea processing presents significant potential for cost savings by moving some of the traditional topside fluid processing to the seabed. Furthermore it increases the production rate in low-energy reservoirs. In addition, the model gave us an overview of compressor power demand and flow assurance challenges throughout the expected life of the field.

18 June, 16:00 - 16:30, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Subsea Water Injection – Membrane Treatment David Pinchin, Chief Technical Officer, Seabox Subsea production and processing systems, such as subsea water injection will play a significant part in maximising oil recover from new and existing fields in the future. New technologies that can improve traditional methods of production whilst offering increased oil recovery are eagerly sought by the industry.

The injection of low salinity water into reservoirs has been shown to significantly increase the recovery factor of the oil in place in a reservoir. In addition, the removal of sulphate ions from injected seawater can prevent scaling and reduce reservoir souring.

Both salinity and sulphate reduction processes require the use of reverse osmosis membranes that require high quality feed water for reliable performance, particularly in a subsea environment.

The Seawater Injection Intake and Treatment (SWIT) system has shown to be an excellent pre-treatment for microfiltration and low sulphate/low salinity membrane processes. A Joint Industry Project was therefore established to examine the best complete treatment train that would achieve reliable and effective water injection equipment on the seabed.

Trails ran at NIVA, Drøbak for 9 months investigating several treatment train combinations of SWIT, pre-filtration and reverse osmosis/nanofiltration membrane processes with water drawn from a depth of 65m from Oslofjord. The results have given clear indications of the optimum equipment selection that will enable a robust, reliable and maintenance free subsea membrane treatment plant.

The findings of this JIP pave the way to inject ‘tailor made’ water quality into reservoirs – thus enabling significant IOR improvements and economic development of marginal fields.

18 June, 16:30 - 17:00, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Utility Vessel: A Possible Solution for Long Tie-back Developments Ignazio Macaluso, Upstream System Engineer, ENI The ever-growing world’s energy needs and the depletion of traditional gas fields push more and more towards developments of deep water gas reservoirs.

One of the key enabler to develop these fields is the transmission of sufficient amounts of electrical power to the site. This is facing two main technical challenges. First, the development of the subsea processing has increased the subsea power requirement up to dozens of megawatts. Then, distances from wells to facilities are also increasing due to longer tie-backs.

Up to now, the power is produced by floating production vessels, platforms or onshore plants, and transported through subsea cables extending from the power generation unit to the subsea station. Considering the new development scenarios, this scheme reaches the limits of power transmission. It is therefore interesting to investigate alternate solutions where the power is generated locally with a dedicated facility, differing from the classical power generation and transportation scheme.

A study has been performed to investigate the relevancy and the feasibility of the integration of a floater dedicated to power generation and utilities management within a large deepwater gas field development. In order to evaluate the relevancy of the Utility Vessel solution, this concept has been compared with the case of electrical power transmission from shore to the field.

The results of this study allow assessing several Utility Vessel configurations, in order to meet the requirements of different development scenarios.

18 June, 17:00 - 17:30, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Managing Risks in a Deepwater Marginal Field Development Mads Hjelmeland, Subsea Projects Manager, Deepwater Developments, Murphy Oil Remote and marginal fields generally require the use of cost-effective solutions with regards to contract philosophy, system approach, technology selection and installation.

The Siakap North-Petai field is located approximately 125 km from the Northwest coast of Labuan Island, offshore Sabah, South China Sea, in approximately 1400 m water depth, some 10 km off Kikeh field. The Kikeh field has been in production since 2007, producing both through an FPSO as well as a SPAR platform.

One of the main challenges of the Siakap North-Petai development was to safely and effectively deploy a subsea production system comprising 13 deepwater wells (8 producers and 5 water injectors), including subsea umbilicals, risers and the first dual pipe-in-pipe flowline system in South East Asia, to produce the 11 km elongated Siakap North- Petai field. Several additional technical challenges had to be tackled; the elongated field structure, shallow hazards, seabed sloping and soil behaviour, as well as a combination of sands.

This paper will provide an overview of the Siakap North-Petai Development Project; the background and drivers of the development, including the challenges related to a subsea tieback to a brownfield host. The main focus will be on key parameters on how the project could be executed on a fast-track basis, to secure deliverables to the Operator, Partners & Concessionaire, in spite of technical challenges, as well as commercial & resource constraints in the global industry.

Technological Innovations 18 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 2 @ Spissen A new approach to Pipeline Inspection using Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV’s) Amin Nasr, Subsea Intervention Specialist, Total AUV’s have advantages and disadvantages over more traditional towed systems and Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) systems, in terms of capability with regard to pipeline inspections.

This necessitates a change in philosophy to take full advantage of AUV attributes and this change will require improvement in sensors, autonomy software and data processing and management. In order to meet this new level of requirement some technology gaps need to be addressed, particularly in the areas of AUV navigation, real time 3D mapping and feature recognition, and data communications with intelligent sensors. Therefore TOTAL/Chevron have developed a joint specification.

These specifications would cover periodic inspection of pipelines typically done by ROV. These specifications would provide a basis to discuss a business case for introducing AUV pipeline inspection to each of our different business units in order to fully comply with existing regulatory standards and current industry best practices.

The following high level requirements for pipeline inspection were indentified: 1) Subsea Navigation 2) Visual Inspection 3) Sonar inspection 4) Damage Assessment 5) Debris Identification 6) Pipeline Features 7) Pipetracking 8) Buried Pipeline Detection 9) Freespan Detection and Measurement 10) Seabed Conditions 11) Buckling Survey 12) Detection of Pipeline Movement 13) Corrosion Survey 14) Reporting and Deliverables.

Technology challenges Subsea Navigation: One of the main advantages of using AUVs is the possibility of operating without a surface navigation support vessel. The key requirement for pipeline inspection is the requirement to follow the pipeline with high accuracy to enable close sensor proximity to the pipeline. This is considerably more difficult to achieve with an AUV and in order to perform this task two differing technologies are to be used: 1) Pipeline Recognition using Camera Images & Sonar Data 2) Subsea Features Referenced Positioning.

Visual Inspection: Transferring all visual inspection data to digital format will give the opportunity to apply different processing algorithms to identify anomalies / defects which will save time during the post processing verification.

Frespan Detection: Introduce laser scanners as high accurate / fast means for subsea mapping data acquisition.

Corrosion Survey: CP measurements have been identified as technology gap facing AUV’s and their ability to carry out a full pipeline inspection survey list of tasks. However both TOTAL and Chevron having internal research and development efforts

33

to overcome this obstacle and both companies expect to have passive solutions for CP survey suitable for AUV deployment operational by early 2015.

Leak detection: Leak detection will be an increasing requirement during pipeline inspection, and new techniques will be used to determine smaller amounts of loss. Today we can detect gas bubbles visually and by sonar. Small liquid to liquid leaks can also be found with these techniques, however more research is required in sonar and contact sensors to further refine the scale of detectibility of smaller liquid to liquid leaks.

Conclusions: Chevron and TOTAL have succeeded in promoting a new approach to pipeline inspection using AUV’s, without comprise of the overall needs for integrity management. This new approach is not without challenges, however the sensors and technology exists to overcome these challenges and this will lead to changes in pipeline inspection standards and regulation.

The introduction of pipeline inspection using AUV’s will be the beginning of a full range of IMR sensor development suitable for AUV deployment. These new tools will contribute positively to the development of AUVs, leading to wider scopes of work and further acceptance in the industry. Ultimately, with the deployment of field resident AUV systems, we will see increasing frequency of inspection of our subsea assets, leading to earlier detection of problems. This will lead to a reduction in downtime for field maintenance, and of course better stewardship of our environment.

18 June, 14:30 - 15:00, Track 2 @ Spissen A Breakthrough in Subsea Multiphase Sampling – Sampling from the Flowline and the Wellhead for the First Time Eivind Gransaether, CEO, Mirmorax With the cost of purchasing one subsea multiphase meter up to $400,000 and with such meters central to operators’ field development strategies, it’s vital that they are calibrated effectively based on fractional data on oil, gas, water, salinity and PVT. Yet, many of today’s subsea sampling technologies are unable to generate accurate PVT and other reservoir data.

This presentation argues that subsea sampling can only be truly effective if: i) samples are maintained at their original pressures; ii) sampling takes place regularly; iii) sampling takes place close to the wellhead; and iv) sampling is carried out without production interruption and subsea intervention.

Based on this criteria, the presentation will examine recent subsea sampling developments and, in particular, the development of a subsea multiphase sampling system based around a permanently installed subsea system module.

The module, positioned near the subsea choke, provides online, on-demand fractions of oil, gas, water, salinity and density without intervention. The online fractional data generated also provides vital information to the operator when quality checking samples before they are extracted and transported to the surface.

The presentation will reference September 2013 results from the Christian Michelsen Research flow loop facility where the sampling system delivered excellent Water Liquid Ratio results with an absolute error of less than 1% within a 90% confidence interval.

The paper will conclude that a breakthrough is taking place in subsea sampling enabling accurate subsea measurements to be taken directly from the flowline and close to the wellhead under measurable and controlled conditions.

18 June, 15:00 - 15:30, Track 2 @ Spissen Design and Performance Testing of an Integrated, Subsea Compact Separation System for Deep-water Applications Michael Olson, Sr. Research Engineer, ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company (EMURC) recently completed a technology development and qualification program which included performance testing of an integrated subsea compact separation system for ultra-deep-water applications.

Subsea processing is not a new concept; however, recent economics have led to far more applications ranging from simple single-phase or multi-phase boosting or subsea separation and boosting to future gas compression projects. Certain technologies, such as compact separation, are considered enabling technologies for subsea processing, especially in ultradeep-water applications.

Due to high internal and external pressures, unconventional separator designs must be employed in ultra-deep-water applications. In order to position itself for future ultra-deep-water applications, ExxonMobil has developed a subsea compact separation system design using internal and vendor-supplied technologies. Performance tests on this integrated system, which included all of the components, were recently completed at realistic operating conditions. High-level results from these tests will be discussed.

The cost of developing and applying a subsea separation system is significant; and therefore, it can be uneconomical if the system is unable to provide a sufficient increase in production rates, or if reliability issues - such as sand management - cannot be mitigated. By understanding, with confidence, the full capacity of the separation system, technical risks can be minimized, and a project could become more attractive. As such, the test results from this technology development and qualification program may be of interest to other operating companies considering similar technologies or future subsea separation projects.

18 June, 16:00 - 16:30, Track 2 @ Spissen Power to the Subsea Factory Steinar Midttveit, Leading Advisor, Subsea Electrical Technology, Statoil The presentation will focus on two main areas; 1) Statoil’s strategy within subsea electrical power and 2) Standardization within subsea electrical technology.

Statoil has recently finalized work with a technology plan for subsea electrical technology, and the main results from this will be presented. Statoil’s ambitions within subsea processing will require a considerable effort within electrical power supply systems.

Long distance power transmission and subsea distribution to an increasing number of various electrical loads will require

34

technology qualification that is both cost and time consuming.

Status on the development efforts and main results from the strategy work will be presented, including high level priorities. The second part of the presentation will focus on SEPS – Subsea Electrical Power Standardization – an initiative that was initiated

by Statoil in 2010. SEPS is now a Joint Industry Project where seven operators participate (Chevron, ExxonMobil, Petrobras, Shell, Statoil, Total, Woodside).

Status for work performed so far and future plans will be presented.

18 June, 16:30 - 17:00, Track 2 @ Spissen Development and Qualificaion of a Compact Subsea Oil/Water Separation System Lachlan McKenzie, Specialist Engineer, Process, FMC Technologies This presentation includes the results of a JIP led by FMC Technologies with the participation of ConocoPhillips, Petronas, and Total, and the support of the Norwegian Research Council. The project has developed and tested two alternative compact subsea oil/water separation stations capable of simultaneously achieving injection quality water and transport quality oil, over a broad range of water cut, and that are suitable for use in ultra-deep waters.

Subsea oil/water separation technology is becoming an accepted field development option. However, the current oil/water separation systems are not capable of simultaneously achieving both a clean water phase and a clean oil phase. Typical requirements for produced water re-injection and long distance oil transport are <100 ppm OiW and < 2% WiO for water and oil, respectively. Systems featuring compact inline units for separation and polishing, combined with small gravity-based separators to handle oil and water rejects have been developed. Extensive testing and characterization of the components in each of the systems was carried out, followed by testing of the complete separation systems.

Promising results were achieved, confirming the feasibility of each of the systems to meet the target of achieving clean oil and water phases from a subsea separation station. The Technology Readiness Level of the systems has been increased and further qualification work stimulated.

The presentation consists of a description of the systems tested and the results of the component and system tests.

18 June, 17:00 - 17:30, Track 2 @ Spissen High-Performance Wet-Mate Connectors Tomasz Ciamulski, R&D electronics, WiSub WiSub shares lessons learned from implementing step-change technology in the conservative subsea market, from the vantage of the halfway mark in a three-year R&D program to take their 100Mbps pinless wet-mate connector technology into Gbps speeds.

WiSub has distributed the risk of realizing this innovation by collaborating with six industrial partners and three academic partners in a project funded through a grant from the Research Council of Norway, under the Petromaks2 program.

Like the tendons in our bodies that connect bone to muscle, connectors are used everywhere, yet the current subsea connector paradigm has not changed significantly, decades since the industry first started connecting equipment under the waves. To eliminate the problems associated with pin-to-pin connectors, WiSub has eliminated the pins.

WiSub’s subsea connection innovation is based on contactless transmission of data using microwave technology. Microwaves attenuate quickly in seawater, however they propagate far enough to be practical in the context of subsea wet-mate connectors, operating on very high-speed signals (+Gbit range) providing advantages that have until now been unachievable in pinless data transfer. This technology integrates well with contactless inductive power transfers without compromising the speed of the data stream.

WiSub is advancing further and faster than otherwise possible through collaboration with a diverse cross-discipline constellation of R&D partners, and financial support from NCE Subsea, Innovation Norway and the Research Council of Norway.

Longer, deeper, colder Through innovative thinking and collaboration with partners and suppliers, we aim to increase recovery from existing fields and develop the elements required for a subsea factory by 2020 to realise business opportunities. For 40 years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve developed pioneering technology that allows us to work safely and successfully further from shore, at even greater depths and in even harsher environments. As new energy reserves are discovered in the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most inaccessible regions, we dare to go longer, deeper, colder.

Execution and Operation Experiences 18 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Experience and Lessons Learned with Flexible Risers Dag McGeorge, Service Responsible Technology Qualification, DNV GL Flexible riser is an important technology that has enabled the development of many offshore and subsea fields on the NCS. A large portion of the total production from the NCS is flowing through these types of risers. Recently there have been a number of failures of such risers that have resulted in costly production stops and required numerous riser replacements. Even though these risers have been used for many years we are still identifying new failure mechanisms that are not fully addressed.

This presentation will cover experience and lessons learned with respect to various failure modes of the riser carcass. It will cover new knowledge and analysis methods with respect to collapse, tearing, fatigue and erosion of the carcass. The experience is compiled from JIP, publically available information and project experience and the goal is to enable the industry to better manage the integrity of this important technology.

18 June, 14:30 - 15:00, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Remote Operated Platform Stabilizing – Varg A Kenneth O. Rosén, Project Manager, IK Norway Varg A is a monotower well head platform located in the North Sea. The platform is supported into the ground by 4 piles connected to 4 pile sleeves connected to the steel structure / monotower. The piles and the pile sleeves are firmly connected by structural grout in the gap between the piles and the sleeve. The grout was injected into the gap after the platform was piled during the installation phase.

During an inspection the winter 2013, movements in one of the sleeve and pile connection was revealed. A circumferential crack over the entire height of the connection was found, allowing for vertical movements of the sleeve thereby reducing the structural integrity of the platform. A repair project was initiated immediately for establishing of two solutions: Temporary jacking / supporting the pile-sleeve connection and permanent repair of the broken connection.

The repair project was executed during the spring and summer 2013, and the platform was permanently re-stabilized by a successful operation during later summer. A completely remote system for jacking the platform back in position and then mechanically permanent securing the pile / sleeve connection by use of special equipment was designed, manufactured, tested and qualified before the operation was performed offshore.

This paper presents the technical challenges related to the design and the operation of large structural and mechanical equipment applied for remote stabilising of a piled platform. The solution involved remotely hydraulic jacking of a structural member followed by a mechanical permanent securing on to the internal pile.

18 June, 15:00 - 15:30, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Installation Vessels Assurance “Positive Impact on Project Readiness and Constructability” Edward Nakajima, Subsea Pipeline Construction and Installation Technical Team Leader, Chevron Energy Technology Company In order to improve project execution efficiency while mitigating subsea installation risk, Chevron has had to adapt and continue to implement improved processes and programs. A recent study has identified that subsea installation campaigns represent the most significant risk to completing a successful project. Finding ways to mitigate risk and exposure, Chevron’s ETC Pipelines took the initiative to establish an installation vessel assurance program. This presentation’s intent is to raise awareness of the inherit risks during the installation phase by sharing lessons learned and demonstrating the positive impact on project readiness and constructability the program can bring.

Furthermore to describe the process of gathering information, pre-qualifying, auditing, and verifying the performance of installation vessels used in projects worldwide. As part of the program, ETC Pipelines have developed specific guideline and specification to help bring a consistent vessel assurance process across all of Chevron. The guideline and specification are continually maintained and improved as more considerations are derived from the industry and Chevron lessons learned. The program is increasing Chevrons organizational capability and is helping to improve Chevron’s performance metrics on project execution. All eyes are on this industry and we as Chevron continue to try and find ways to improve our performance through robust Operational Excellence processes.

Effective and Efficient Installation and Intervention 18 June, 16:00 - 16:30, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Ultra Deepwater, Sour Service, High Fatigue & Arctic Environments – Pushing the Envelope of Completion/Workover Riser Technology Øystein Wærstad, Senior Engineer, Workover Systems, Aker Solutions Description: It is no secret that ultra deepwater, sour service, high fatigue and arctic application are a challenge for todays completion and workover riser technology. In order to enable field development, completion and intervention in these new frontiers, the industry needs new technology. This paper evaluates the suitability of existing completion/workover riser technology for addressing these major technical challenges. The performance benefits of the new technology breakthroughs are then quantified for each challenge and evaluated in an attempt to identify them as enabling technology for solving these market challenges.

Application: A detailed analysis is applied to quantify the parameters that define the challenge for existing technology from a global perspective. By directly comparing the capabilities of the current generation of technology to the performance needed in the new frontier areas we can quantify the limitations of existing technology. The results can be applied both by operators in riser selection processes and by riser manufacturers in the pursuit of new technology to solve the challenges.

Conclusions: Results of the evaluation are based on field experience combined with testing and numerical analysis.

Performance benefits are based on a quantitative analysis of the challenge and qualitative analysis of the new technology capabilities. The paper identifies that while technology exists for use in areas where only one of the challenges exists, many frontier regions are combining the challenges, compounding the complexity.

18 June, 16:30 - 17:00, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Limiting Criteria During Overboarding Operations Tore Jacobsen, Lead Engineer, Subsea 7 The subsea industry is growing, and the tendency of going deeper and developing more remote areas does not seem to end. Further development in the oil- and gas industry requires more advanced subsea equipment and efficient methods for installation of subsea structures. This also requires detailed planning of marine operations with emphasis on equipment design, and safe installation methods.

Subsea structures are traditionally transported to the relevant site on the deck of a crane vessel or a barge, depending on their size and shape. In both cases the structure has to be lifted off from deck and lowered through the splash zone. Crossing of the splash zone has been considered as the limiting factor for overboarding subsea structures, but extensive installation assessments and measurements from offshore operations may conclude differently. It is seen that deck handling often is the driving limitation with respect to subsea structure installation and retrieval, and several installation aids have been developed in the recent years to overcome this issue.

18 June, 17:00 - 17:30, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Verifications of Workover BOP Systems Kristin Nergaard Berg, Senior Engineer, DNV GL and Inger Helene Grant, Principal Engineer-Well Control System, Statoil Verifications of Statoil-owned workover BOP systems were performed, prioritizing safety functions and establishment of barriers.

PSA Norway require that safety functions are designed to IEC 61508 and OLF-070. Statoil require these functions to meet SIL 2.

SIL 2 performance means accepting failure of a function in 1 of 100 demands. SIL 2 further addresses system architecture and dangerous, undetected failures. SIL 2 in operation requires proof testing at delivery and at defined intervals throughout the lifetime. The systems subject to verification are supplied by different vendors. Observations were made related to design, operation and maintenance. It was observed that system design has shortcomings in documenting sufficient independence between safety functions and process control operations, both on hardware level and on software level. Potential single points of failures were observed, with limited analysis of consequences. Design solutions may allow the system to fail in a state where ESD functions cannot be activated through the shut-down panels.

An increasing degree of software control, rather than direct hydraulic control, is instrumented. It is found that software engineering documents are lacking, as well as test scenarios to verify redundancy and immunity to single failures.

Elements within safety functions are sometimes excluded from SIT. Redundancy, dependencies and immunity to failures are not always tested properly. EQD offshore proof test is often not completed.

In spite of observed gaps, it is an overall impression that the industry has improved within SIL design. However, there are still shortcomings in maintaining SIL level over lifetime.

Standardization and Enhanced Industry Practices 18 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 4 @ Troldtog Certification of Subsea Materials and Components – Standardization of the Industry’s Approach to Quality Control and Assurance Processes Bjørn Søgård, Subsea Development Leader, DNV GL With the industry looking at more remote development prospects or the development of more marginal discoveries, the focus on more efficient and cost effective development processes, without sacrificing quality or safety, becomes ever more dominant.

While the quality control processes today in large are customized on project specific basis, DNV GL is of the opinion that the industry would benefit greatly from standardizing the quality control activities; - This will enable a far more simplified and efficient deployment of quality control plans for the individual projects.

- Predictability will enable manufacturers to be familiar with the requirements and specifications at hand.

- This in turn will reduce exposure to quality issues - This will secure quality throughout a globalized supply chain by the use of uniformly established routines for inspection and surveillance services - This will enable strategic stocking of long lead items, even when manufacturing take place in new regions. Short lead time is considered an important enabler for development of marginal fields.

- This will cater for predictable interfaces between vendor and buyer throughout the whole supply chain While the subsea industry is still maturing, the shipping industry has already long traditions with distributed and globalized supply chains as well as standardizes QA regimes. As these two industries in large are sharing the same supply chains, the logics in looking to the maritime industry may seem attractive. This paper will aim at pointing this out, as well as providing a suggestion on how to do this.

18 June, 14:30 - 15:00, Track 4 @ Troldtog Standardization – an Enabler for Future Growth Ingvar Grøtberg, Manager Field Development, FMC Technologies The growth in the subsea industry is expected to continue in the years to come. The industry will have to prepare for the growth and continue to provide solutions to the customers on time and in accordance with requirements. However there are challenges that can impact the future of subsea developments on the NCS and Barents Sea. Access to subsea competence is limited and looking forward, one must expect challenges with regards to recruitment of the necessary skilled personnel to handle the industry growth. The cost level is seen as a challenge when it comes to develop the more marginal developments and complex developments on deeper water, with longer step out, arctic conditions and challenging reservoirs. FMC have seen that the only way we can continue our success and meet the growth requirement is by developing standard solutions satisfying the needs of our customers.

The standard solutions shall satisfy the requirements with regards to HSE and QA and provide functionality and flexibility that suits most fields and operators. Standardized solutions does reduce the need for project specific engineering and it opens for reuse of proven solutions, streamlined project execution, stocking of long lead items since the design will be common amongst projects and clients and hence enable fast track developments and reduced cost.

The approach for standardization will be discussed. At what level will the standardization take place, how can a standard solution adapt to project specific functional requirements and what will be the benefits of the standardization?

18 June, 15:00 - 15:30, Track 4 @ Troldtog Pit Stop – the Future of Refurbishment?

Kristoffer Bakke, Lead Engineer, Aker Solutions As part of increased oil recovery on mature fields, there is a large increase in well re-completions. This leads to a higher demand for subsea valve tree refurbishment and also associated functionality upgrades required to achieve IOR. The standard way of performing refurbishment and upgrade projects entails; gap analysis, site receive test, disassembly, inspection, documentation review, purchase of replacement components and refurbishment of other components, assembly and testing.

Aker Solutions has built up experience in performing refurbishment and upgrade projects according to this standard model and identified various risk issues impacting cost and schedule. Typical challenges include; updated requirements, unexpected findings during inspection and documentation review, long lead times for replacement components, bespoke project scope. This paper will present some examples of the actual challenges faced during standard refurbishment and upgrade projects of subsea valve trees at Aker Solutions, before describing a “Pit Stop” programme that Aker Solutions has developed that greatly reduces technical and commercial risks in refurbishment projects.

The paper will also present some cost reduction measures that can be implemented throughout the project lifecycle. Could lessons learned from Pit Stop programme be expanded and implemented into other areas of the industry?

Technological Innovations 18 June, 16:00 - 16:30, Track 4 @ Troldtog Integration of Real-time Environmental Technologies for Improved Decision Support Inge Dragsund, CTO, Biota Guard The three companies Octio, Marine Ecosystem Technologies (Metas) and Biota Guard are looking to include, combine and optimize their respective real-time technologies for subsea environmental monitoring. An integrated solution will comprise monitoring of the reservoir, overburden and water column, and couples environmental monitoring tightly with day-to-day operations and IOR/EOR initiatives.

Stakeholders in the O&G industry rely on representative data to comply with regulations and optimize operations. However, the multiplicity of environmental and operational data types, data formats and data flows, present a serious challenge for accurate and timely decision support. Maximizing the value of data is hence at the core of the project – both for leak detection, long-term environmental monitoring and improved environmental management.

While Octio delivers the subsea infrastructure - “Ethernet on the seabed” - and provides permanent / semi-permanent monitoring of the reservoir, Biota Guard and Metas will be plugged in as complementary technologies. Metas’ technology is primarily based on acoustic detection with camera verification, while Biota Guard combines biosensors with conventional sensors. Besides the benefits from deploying the technologies individually, the companies will address the challenge as follows: • Integration of data from one system to another to allow for better follow up and supplementary analysis from complementary technologies • Faster data analysis and improved basis for decision making • Lower total installation costs • Lower operational / surveillance costs and simplified user interface • Potential improvements over time through removal of duplicating functions and simplified infrastructure.

The partners will be targeting industry support during 1H2014 for a pilot deployment.

18 June, 16:30 - 17:00, Track 4 @ Troldtog Statoil-ABB Joint Industrial Program – Next generation Subsea Power system from ABB Tor-Eivind Moen, VP Sales Subsea, ABB ABB has entered a 5 year 100MUSD Joint Industrial Program with Statoil and two other oil & gas companies for the development of next generation subsea power system. The deliverables from the program are a pressure compensated MVdistribution unit; two pressure compensated variable speed drive for large pumps and compressors.

The presentation discusses the ABB experience in the subsea domain and the vision, mobilization and early results of the subsea power JIP program.

18 June, 17:00 - 17:30, Track 4 @ Troldtog Siemens Subsea Power Grid – an Integrated Power Solution for Subsea Processing Bjørn Rasch, Head of Subsea Power, Siemens Subsea Systems To enable large scale subsea processing with several consumers like pumps and compressors at large water depths and for long step outs, Siemens offers an integrated subsea power solution to power the consumers in a reliable and cost efficient way. In the Siemens development program the prototypes are presently coming together, and the next challenge is to make the system operate and prepare for real field life in combination with the processing system. In order to achieve the highest availability of power distribution subsea, it is important to deliver an integrated power system with high grade of flexibility to be integrated into the field’s subsea processing system.

The power system must have standardized and configurable interfaces to have an optimal fit with the processing system. The integrity of the power system is governed by a dedicated power control and monitoring system which enables transparent and standardized communication to all the power modules.

The Siemens Subsea Power Grid solution offers an infrastructure with standardized interfaces both on the topside / onshore power generation and to the subsea consumers – both for the power line and for the automation line. This ensures flexible arrangements with the overall process system without challenging the integrity of the power distribution.

This Siemens presentation will focus on how a subsea power distribution system can be integrated in any pumping- or compression systems without sacrificing the integrity of modules in the subsea power grid solution.

DAY 2 – PARALLELL SESSIONS Field Development Concepts - Production and Processing 19 June, 10:45 - 11:15, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt The SpoolSep: an Innovative Solution for Subsea Water/Hydrocarbon Separation in Deep/Ultradeep waters and High Internal Pressures Sadia Shaiek, R&D Project Manager, Saipem Susbea produced water separation Subsea Processing provides effective solutions to tackle many of the challenges of offshore developments (deeper waters, long tie-backs, difficult reservoirs,..) and to face the challenges of mature fields, producing more water than oil with decreased reservoir pressures.

By removing most of produced water at the mud line, a subsea liquid/liquid separation station is particularly interesting to debottleneck existing topsides facilities, while dramatically reducing water treatment surface equipment. Moreover, the low separation pressure at the seafloor allows to increase oil recovery.

The SpoolSep, developed by SAIPEM, is an innovative subsea gravity separator particularly suited for deep and ultra-deep water and/or high pressure services. The separation is performed in several parallel horizontal pipes- similar in principle to subsea spools- which provide long residence time resulting in efficient gravity separation and allowing easier downstream water treatment.

The sand, which could settle during separation, is flushed when required, sequentially inside each spool with the whole production flow. Compared to conventional pressure vessels, the Spoolsep is composed mainly of pipes, allowing standard manufacturing, standard installation procedures and easy maintenance.

An extensive test campaign has been performed in 2013 on a multiphase flow loop operating with air, water, synthetic oils and sand at ambient conditions in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the SpoolSep design and its operability.

The first part of the tests was performed with a reduced scale separator model with 4 parallel pipes made of Plexiglas (200mm ID, 18m length each).This phase focused on the validation of fluid distribution inside the spools, on the level control philosophy and on the separation performances for several flow conditions (changing flowrates, WC, GVF, shear, water residence time, spool inclination).

The second part aimed at qualifying the sand deposition inside a single spool and the effectiveness of sand removal by flushing under various operating conditions: sand volume and size, flowrates, flow pattern, viscosity, sand bed type (water or oil wetted), inclination.

The main results of the test campaign will be presented.

19 June, 11:15 - 11:45, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Dynamic Simulation for Subsea Processing System with All Electric Controls Jagadeesh Unnam, Senior Process Engineer, OneSubsea Stable control of compact separation system during slugging flow Evaluation of subsea gas-liquid separation system operated during transient flow by novel all-electric controls is presented using dynamic process simulation. Water depth of 2000m and step out of 10km is considered for medium heavy oil at 26.9API and maximum design flow of 80,000BPD. For deep water systems, pressure drop across pipelines and risers limits flow and ultimate hydrocarbon recovery. Slugging complicates the design and operation of topside separation equipment.

The subsea separation system includes wellhead desander, compact gas liquid separator, and pumps. An all electric control system enables compact separation design by providing fast and reliable valve action. Dynamic HYSYS model incorporates separation equipment and all control units along with pipelines and risers. System lags and delays were implemented to enable realistic performance evaluation. Lags and delays include process instrumentation measurements, valve actuation, communication lags and pump speed response. Advanced control schemes were implemented in order to achieve stable operation without high/low level shutdowns. Step and ramp increments to inlet flow were analyzed to determine system capabilities in handling perturbations. Slug patterns were established in statistical forms using pipeline simulation models and operational database. This assessment provided comprehensive screening for a practical control system and confirmation of separator design in handling transient flow.

Dynamic simulation architecture, case studies for various transient profiles, separator performance and control parameters are presented. Subsea separation system is demonstrated to operate using closed control loops with fast-acting all electric controls that allow compact vessel design and functions reliably in a slugging flow regime.

19 June, 11:45 - 12:15, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt The Future of Subsea Compression – from the Initial Brainstorming to a Major Technology Initiati Hans Kristian Sundt, Product Manager Subsea Processing, GE Oil & Gas Collaboration and communication across disciplines ensures a holistic approach that accelerates technology innovation and how this has been applied to developing the next generation subsea wet gas compression.

The Oil & Gas industry is constantly evolving and Subsea Compression is only in its infancy. Looking in the past one can see that the rate of technology uptake in our industry is quite slow. Although the Oil & Gas industry is highly complex and technology driven it can take twenty to thirty years before a technology is generally adopted. This was the case for subsea production when the first subsea trees were installed in the 60’s. Any major investment in technology development under these conditions requires a holistic approach and a sound business case.

To meet the challenges of the future we need to accelerate innovation in our industry. Innovation at this scale requires broad collaboration which in turn requires extensive communication. In the last ten years our ability to collaborate and communicate in

41

teams geographically distributed has changed dramatically through technology development itself.

The paper will follow the process of developing the next generation subsea wet gas compression system from the initial brainstorming to a major collaborative technology initiative. We will see the importance of collaborating to achieve a holistic approach. Combining economic and engineering models we created an advanced prediction of the macroeconomics for subsea compression, mapping the critical design criteria and key drivers. Broad participation of all disciplines in the analysis enabled a common understanding for the subsea challenges, creating the foundation for a major technology initiative. An overview of the system and technology being developed will be presented.

Execution and Operation Experiences 19 June, 13:30 - 14:00, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Subsea RAM Analysis - Providing Decision Support for Design and Operation John Magne Øyra, Safety Engineer, Safetec Reliaiblity, Availability, Maintainability analysis together with HSE Analysis gives a broader decision support for design and operation, including a view which safety studies alone do not cover When designing a subsea production system, there are several aspects to take into account. Costs, both investment (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX), are important to make the project profitable. Equipment reliability is important to minimize production losses and increase revenue. HSE aspect influences design due to specific regulations (e.g. double barrier philosophy).

Typically, these various aspects are conflicting, which necessitates finding a proper balance.

There are typically many different analyses in the design phase, aiming to provide decision support. Most of these analyses cover the HSE aspect through HAZID, HAZOP, QRA etc. RAM (Reliaiblity, Availability, Maintainability) analyses give decision support with respect to production availability. RAM analyses include all equipment which may influence the production, not only safety critical. The results may or may not conflict with the optimal design and operation in terms of safety, but either way a broader basis for decision making is provided. RAM analyses cover the complete system, not only certain parts, providing an overall picture, and including dependencies and interactions within the system.

RAM analyses quantify the effect of different design solutions, the effect of different sparing and maintenance solutions, consequences of failures in terms of production and various other relevant parameters. It provides a view which safety studies do not cover, and along with those it gives a good basis for optimizing system design.

The presentation will show you how RAM analysis can provide decision support for design and operation, based on specific studies for subsea fields.

19 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 1 @ Peer Gynt Subsea 7 Hyperbaric Welding Operations Håvard Skuland Pedersen, Project Engineering Manager, Subsea 7 Hyperbaric welding as consept, and the challenges related to mobilising three manual hyperbaric welding spreads onto three different vessels - at the same time.

During summer of 2013, Subsea 7 successfully performed a total of four hyperbaric welds in the North Sea, with three different diving support vessels, during the same shut down – simultaneous.

The complex nature of performing dry manual habitat welding in such a hostile environment has been done numerous times before – but has it ever been done with three systems operational at the same time on three different dive vessels, by the same company before?

The presentation of the Hyperbaric Welding Operations will show how the devil in the details and collaboration across borders, companies, and disciplines are key factors to be able to perform such operation safe and efficient with the expected quality.

The presentation will also give a good overview of what Hyperbaric Welding is, what it takes to succeed, the challenges in the preparation, planning and execution, and will sum it up with a video from the operations with top side and subsea footage.

Technological Innovations 19 June, 10:45 - 11:15, Track 2 @ Spissen All Electric, is there a Future?

Jan van den Akker, Product Manager Controls, OneSubsea Better understanding of the advantages of all electric controls Since more than 10 years all electric control is being used in various subsea applications, albeit being it in a limited volume. This presentation will discuss the various concepts available, and addresses the perceived benefits of this technology, but will also look at reasons of why there is reluctance in usage.

With Subsea Processing systems becoming more and more accepted by the industry, all electric technology could be a key enabler for further enhancement of these applications. For instance a key requirement for complex systems is that control valves be operated in a continuous operation mode, either manually or in a closed loop (PID). Also controlling valves faster becomes increasingly important. It is perceived that all this asks for electric control characteristics.

The majority of applications so far have used hydraulic actuators, although there are systems currently in build which will use electric actuation control. The presentation will also provide a vision of the control technology for the future, drawing from proven Electro-Hydraulic and electric control systems of today and considering current technology developments.

Using OneSubsea’s first all electric control system, operating in the Dutch sector of the North Sea, as an example. Valuable feedback is available and lessons learnt are being implemented for future generations of all electric technology as well as for implementation into a field extension for the original 1st off installation.

19 June, 1115 - 1145, Track 2 @ Spissen Long Step-out Power Supply System Truls Normann, First Chief Engineer, Aker Solutions and Tor-Eivind Moen, VP Sales Subsea, ABB Long step-out power supply, high power, enabling technology for increased recovery In order to recover more oil & gas in an increasing number of subsea field prospects in deep waters and with long stepout, subsea power transmission technology is one of the key enabling factors. In many cases subsea power equipment will constitute a substantial part of the total subsea equipment cost.

Using VSD long step-out systems for supplying subsea loads, such as pumps (up to 50-80Hz) and compressors (up to 200Hz), are reaching its limits. VSD long step-out systems have been delivered to projects such as Tyrihans Raw Sea Water Injection project and is under delivery to the Åsgard Subsea Gas Compression Project.

ABB and Aker Solutions have further refined such systems for even longer reach. Analyses show that this offers a cost efficient solution with high availability for much longer step-outs distances and higher power levels than known in the industry today.

Based on today’s available technology, this concept offers a robust solution for powering subsea loads over ultra-long distances.

The presentation will demonstrate the theory behind such ultra-long VSD step-out systems and power umbilical design. The system can also be used for powering ESPs and subsea control systems. Potential cost benefits will also be illustrated. A comparison will be made with other subsea high voltage system solutions (e.g. low frequency transmission).

19 June, 11:45 - 12:15, Track 2 @ Spissen A Minimum Autonomous Floating Facility for Subsea Processing Equipment Support David Bone, CEO, Ocean Resource This paper will provide a brief outline of a low cost fully autonomous technology to improve the viability and reliability and to reduce the through-life costs of developing long subsea step-outs using seabed separation or other processing equipment.

The paper focuses on the use of a high-stability autonomous floating surface facility allied to subsea facilities such as separation, compression, pressure boosting, seabed storage etc. for long step-outs in any water depth. The minimised concept is based on a proven taut-moored buoy providing the lowest capex and opex easily-accessible location for power generation, field control, chemical injection and other production service activities adjacent to any seabed facility. The technology is an enabling technology permitting the use of sophisticated seabed processing whilst minimising project risk, on-going maintenance costs and overall system availability. The concept has been studied for application in 2200 metres.

The paper provides a technical description of the system including general design parameters and their rationale. Technical challenges are discussed together with their solutions. Through-life costs are also discussed together with operating criteria and philosophy. A specific example is outlined to demonstrate how the technology is used. This comprises a power buoy configured for a water depth of 150 metres in the UKCS. This will typically deliver continuous power of around 4 to 6 Mw to power subsea ESP’s or other seabed equipment. Finally there is a brief discussion of alternative power generation technologies using produced fluid.

This paper demonstrates that the technology is game-changing releasing assets that have been hitherto considered uneconomic. Using innovative technology such as this dramatically increases the recoverable reserves of mature areas worldwide and permits the economic recovery of even small remote reserves in any offshore location.

19 June, 13:30 - 14:00, Track 2 @ Spissen Novel Compact Subsea Separation Equipment to Improve Potential Field Production Performance Mika Tienhaara, CEO, Advanced Separation Company According to available public information, there are several fields evaluated by operators to use subsea processing including separation technology, to maximize production, reduce total cost (CAPEX and OPEX) and risks. Key benefits for using subsea separation as an enabling factor rather than relying on multiphase boosting and transportation to topsides/shore will be listed.

As part of ExxonMobil’s subsea separation system qualification, several ASCOM technologies have been qualified for heavy and light crude oils in both a modelfluid flowloop as well as a high pressure multiphase flowloop to simulate realistic conditions.

This paper will elaborate on testing conditions for the various ASCOM technologies qualified. Descriptions and applications of the various technologies (for gas/liquid, liquid/liquid and gas/liquid/solids separation) will be described. The qualification programme run for the novel generation compact equipment is done to enable potential field implementations for deepwater (beyond 1500 m water depth), arctic, remote areas; for both gas fields as well as oil fields.

ASCOM is developing a simplified deepwater subsea separator under a joint industry project with several oil companies. The patented concept under development is based on a spherical shape vessel undergoing testing at the ProlabNL flowloop during 2014. The use of a spherical separator will result in less equipment and a simplified solution compared to a compact (inline) separation solution and it’s complex control system. The paper will give some highlights from the actual development status and achievements to date.

To summarize, the paper will give an insight to - the latest generation of qualified compact separation equipment - key drivers for subsea separation - further development of deepwater separation solutions jointly with oil companies

19 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 2 @ Spissen Towards Autonomy in Underwater Operations Ingrid Schjølberg, Project Director, Centre for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems, Norwegian University of Science and Technology New sustainable technology for deep water completion and operations is required to enable us to exploit resources from the ocean space. Moreover, new and smarter systems for maintenance and repair of equipment located in such areas are needed.

Autonomous systems and operations provides the means to solve challenges related to monitoring and surveillance of the coast and oceans, offshore renewable-energy production, greener and safer maritime transport, larger sea food production and exploitation of hydrocarbons and minerals in deep water and Arctic regions. Marine and maritime research is one of six strategic research areas at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). NTNU has established Applied Underwater Robotics Laboratory (AUR-Lab) (2011), and currently hosts the national Centre of Excellence Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems (AMOS) (2013).

The centre and lab activities will provide cutting-edge interdisciplinary research to make high levels of autonomy a reality unmanned vehicles and marine operations. NTNUs research vessel Gunnerus, three ROVs and one AUVs (Remus) as well as underwater manipulators enable multidisciplinary research and development. Research on new methods and technology for underwater mapping, monitoring and intervention is addressed by a team of consisting of among others of experts from underwater technology, marine control systems, robotics, autonomy, marine biology, chemistry geology and marine archeology.

Monthly cruises in the Trondheim fjord area and annually around the seas of Svalbard enable field-testing and verification of new sensors, control strategies and autonomy in various scenarios such as ocean mapping, environmental monitoring and underwater manipulation. Examples from various operations and combined operations with AUVs and ROV s will be given.

Brownfield Rejuvenation and Lifetime Extension 19 June, 10:45 -11:15, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Trolls never die – Adding value by Life Extension Børge Brubæk, Project Leader, Statoil Opportunities in future operation by utilising existing systems beyond planned service life The Troll field is one of the world’s largest subsea developments with 122 subsea wells tied back to 2 semisubmersible production units – Troll B and Troll C. Oil and gas are brought to shore through dedicated pipelines.

In the last decades the focus on Increased Oil Recovery (IOR) has, supported by new discoveries close to existing facilities, been a major driver for operating fields beyond original service life. This has implied needs for establishing processes for how to ensure safe and economical operation of fields beyond anticipated service/design life. The change in operation may require new infrastructure to be combined with the existing to provide an optimal business case.

This presentation will focus on the technical aspects of a life extension process of subsea facilities; constituted by technical condition, re-assessment and mitigating actions. Experiences from historical processes will be addressed, development of frame conditions such as authority requirements and industry guidelines will be touched upon and experiences from running processes for the ongoing life time evaluation of Troll subsea facilities will be shared. Life extension may constitute a platform for technology developments by supporting safe and cost efficient technology for mitigating actions and some thoughts on this aspect will be communicated.

A system approach has been identified as a requirement to ensure that all parts of the value chain are considered in the life extension assessment. The system entering the future will need to adapt to the requirements by HSE, uptime and production to build a sound business case.

19 June, 11:15 - 11:45, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang V-LIFE: a New Technology for the Rejuvenation of Subsea Umbilicals with Insulation Resistance Failures Neil Douglas, Managing Director, Viper Subsea Understanding of a new technology that can be used to ‘repair’ failing insulation resistance in subsea umbilicals and potentially avoid lost production.

Degradation of insulation resistance in subsea cables and umbilicals is an industry problem on a global basis. Failures resulting from the degradation of the electrical conductor insulation material, coupled with water ingress can, and often does, lead to lost production. To date, the only solution to this problem is to replace the subsea umbilical. The associated costs of this type of failure is significant in terms of lost production and umbilical replacement costs. On ageing fields insulation resistance failures can result in early field decommissioning if the cost benefit analysis of umbilical replacement proves the financial investment to be prohibitive. Viper Subsea has developed a technology that can reverse the effects of degraded insulation resistance.

The technique, validated by a University, has now been utilised in the North Sea, demonstrating successful rejuvenation of failing umbilicals. The technique can be applied to a number of different umbilical electrical failure modes and can be used to improve electrical operating margins, extend the usable life of an umbilical, or be used to recover a failed umbilical and maintain production.

This paper describes the fundamental failure modes of umbilical insulation and presents the rejuvenating technology and the benefits that have been seen with the aid of field data from a number of North Sea installations.

19 June, 11:45 - 12:15, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Fast, Economical and Flexible Design Tool for Subsea Gas Compression Design, Verification Tine Bauck Irmann-Jacobsen, Senior Specialist Engineer, FMC Technologies Integrated subsea systems and resulting optimizaton, retrofit to boost recovery and enhance capacity.

The introduction of subsea gas compression systems in a network of wells and flowlines has increased the complexity and number of design elements, each with their individual affects on total production system. In the quest to identify the overall optimal field solution and equipment selection and sizing, there will be an advantage to address the complete production system including the compressor as one model. All design elements that affect the upstream or downstream conditions should be

44

included to identify their influence with respect to: • Capacities • Pressure, temperature and velocities against Flow Assurance issues like: hydrate formation, wax deposition, flow regimes, erosion, corrosion and vibrations.

• Bottlenecks In order to define a model that provides the most realistic system response, it is crucial that realistic independent boundary conditions are used. In practice this often suggests that reservoir conditions and arrival conditions at receiving facility are used as boundary conditions.

An operability design process including an engineering simulator that includes the full production system from reservoir to receiving facilities has been developed. This provides a powerful process to screen design alternatives to identify the optimal field solution in a cost efficient way.

Student Presentations 19 June, 13:30 - 14:00, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Fatigue Performance Evaluation Approach of a Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) Arvind Keprate, Master Student in Marine and Subsea Technology, University of Stavanger The objective of this paper is to present fatigue performance evaluation approach of a Steel Catenary Riser (SCR) which is subjected to fatigue due to floater motions and Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV). Paper also proposes set of comprehensive strategies.

Methodology: Floater Motion Fatigue Damage: The procedure starts with fragmenting the wave scatter diagram into various blocks and performing non- linear time domain analysis in Orcaflex for each representative sea state per block. The analysis gives the stress range acting on the riser which is used in conjunction with S-N curve and rain flow counting algorithm to estimate the fatigue damage. After this accumulated fatigue damage is calculated by using Miner’s rule and finally a reduction factor of 0.1 as per Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) regulations is applied to estimate the fatigue life of SCR. VIV Fatigue Damage: The fatigue response of SCR due to VIV is estimated by using a time domain method with vortex tracking model in Orcaflex. The simulation gives the curvature variation distribution along the riser which in turn is used to calculate stress variation in the SCR. Thereafter same approach as stated above is used to predict the fatigue life.

Conclusion:Results indicate that fatigue due to floater motions at Touch Down Point (TDP) is the most critical limit state which governs the global configuration of SCR. Moreover, the riser soil interaction is the most crucial parameter for fatigue response at TDP.

19 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 3 @ Klokkeklang Subsea Facilities Installation for the Offshore Field Development in the Arctic Regions Evgeny Pribytkov, Ph.D Student, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas One of the important parts of the work was devoted to the requirements to integrated template structures (ITS) conceived in relevant NORSOK, ISO and DNV standards. The main elements of integrated template structures are considered in the article, their specific characteristics and components. Arctic metocean conditions that can affect installation and the operational conditions are analyzed. ITS installation for the Barents Sea environment is considered in the article. There were reviewed and analyzed several scenarios with different number of structures (2, 3, 4 and 6) and well-slots.

A program for installation cost estimates was built that enabled us to find the optimal scenario for the ITS design with regards to installation procedures. Various operations affecting the cost of subsea infrastructure were analyzed and studied from different perspectives. Risk analysis regarding the threats and consequences is also performed; risk assessment matrices and mitigation actions are established.

As a result, installation requirements for integrated template structure for the subsea field development in the arctic/subarctic regions were established.

Technological Innovations 19 June, 10:45 - 11:15, Track 4 @ Troldtog Simulation Driven Design Process of High Speed and High Power Liquid Filled Subsea Motors Jonas Bredberg, Group Manager, Subsea Pump Systems, Aker Solutions Aker Solutions process for developing a high speed, high power subsea motor In this presentation simulation driven design process for development of a new high speed (6000 rpm) and high power (6 MW) induction motor at Aker Solutions is outlined. Liquid filled motors, which are a key component for successful deep-water subsea boosting, are significantly different from conventional topside motors. The liquid in the motor is the main source of losses and can cause thermal challenges if not designed properly. Another important design aspect is that the high frictional losses give unconventional design trade-offs between electromagnetic performance and overall motor efficiency.

The design process used to develop the motor incorporates multi-disciplinary simulations within the fields: • Electromagnetic simulations for analysing the electromagnetic design • CFD simulations for analysing the cooling of the motor • Structural FEA for analysing thermal deflections, stresses and thermal transients • Rotor dynamic simulations for analysing rotor dynamic stability All the analyses are coupled and the final design is based on input from all fields. For an efficient design process all the aspects have to be analysed in the appropriate sequence.

19 June, 11:15 - 11:45, Track 4 @ Troldtog The SKP – a novel NDT Technology to Assist Field Inspection and Recertification of Subsea Installations Eugen Florin Turcu, Forsker I, Christian Michelsen Research Subsea installations are particularly affected by undetected early-stage corrosion and hydrogen embrittelment resulting from ongoing corrosion and cathodic protection. With increasing technological complexity and material diversity, exemplified by subsea processing plants, such degradations would occur more often and could rapidly lead, depending on environmental conditions, to significant material-, and eventually to system- failures.

Current non-destructive corrosion inspection and monitoring overlooks early-stage corrosion (i.e. before any wall-loss is measurable) and neglects hydrogen charging. However, steel and automotive industries resort to standard Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) for routine corrosion and residual hydrogen detection on steel components. The contactless measurement of the corrosion potential of any coated metal is accomplished via a vibrating capacitive probe placed at a certain distance over the object of interest. Via nulling of the sinusoidal displacement current the corrosion potential underneath a coating can be readily obtained.

Recent developments make the SKP applicable for subsea equipment. SKP’s main strengths in subsea applications are: 1] ability to sense corrosion through protective coatings, 2] unmatched capacity to detect ultra-low (sub-ppm) amounts of hydrogen in metals. Consequently, hydrogen embrittelment risk could be evaluated: i] before deployment on field (residual H2), ii] during regular inspections / recertification of subsea equipment, or iii] during service. Considering that sub-ppm hydrogen-levels can result in metal embrittelment, the practical importance of these detection possibilities are obvious.

The presentation will describe SKP’s operating principle and will exemplify with recent test results. Additionally, strategies for the implementation of the method on complex subsea installations are discussed.

19 June, 11:45 - 12:15, Track 4 @ Troldtog Innovative Electrical Penetrator Designs for High Pressure / High Temperature Subsea Applications.

Hanne Marthe Sommerfeldt, R&D Manager, Benestad Careful material selection combined with a robust design is the key to reliable electrical penetrator Subsea production on ever increasing water depths and the introduction of high voltage subsea booster pumps and compressors involve a demand for reliable technology for both signal and high voltage electrical penetrators. The shut in pressure is at some instances as high as 15kpsi. In this presentation a technical case will be used; Aker Solutions were screening the market for a penetrator that could resist a 15kpsi shut in pressure combined with a high ambient temperature for their subsea pump development, they found only one supplier, Benestad.

Benestad has for more than 20 years provided penetrators to the subsea market based on glass-ceramic-to-titanium-sealing (GTTSTM). In this white paper the key project challenges will be highlighted and Benestad’s technical solution to these.

Benestad combines thermal, electrical and mechanical design with advanced material technology that results in a very reliable and compact penetrator. Benestad GTTS technology will be described as well as the patented penetrator heat dissapation design that was qualified in this project. The glass-ceramic pressure barrier has the advantage that is an inorganic material and will not deteriorate over time. Combined with a body made from titanium it is an ideal solution for HP/HT applications. To overcome the temperature challenges, an innovative heat sink design was designed and qualified.

Regulations and Business Models 19 June, 13:30 - 14:00, Track 4 @ Troldtog Subsea Regulations in Norway - Performance Based Requirements, an Opportunity for the Industry Trond Sundby, Principal Engineer, Petroleum Safety Authority The Petroleum Safety Authority are an independent government regulator with responsibility for safety, emergency preparedness and the working environment in the Norwegian petroleum industry. In the Norwegian petroleum industry there are more than 300 subsea installations and 700-800 subsea wells.

Norway’s regulations for petroleum operations offshore and on land are risk-based, and give great emphasis to principles for reducing health, safety and environmental (HSE) risk. They have developed over a 40 year period from detailed prescriptive regulations in the beginning to the regulatiosn today that are largely formulated as performance-based (functional) requirements.

They specify requirements for the various aspects, characteristics or qualities which a product, process or service must possess. These requirements express the performance or result which the product, process or service is to yield – in other words, the performance the government wishes to achieve through them.

In this paper we will look at the development of the regulations with examples from the development of the subsea regulations and how we follow up the industry today. We will highlight areas where we think the industry has a potential for improvements and present the opportunities tha lie within the current regulations

19 June, 14:00 - 14:30, Track 4 @ Troldtog Time for Business Innovation in the Subsea domain Martin Sørensen, Director Subsea, Reinertsen The international Oil Companies developing subsea fields are concerned about an increasing cost base, leaving them and the entire Subsea Industry uncomfortably exposed to an eventual oil price drop. The subsea branch, particular in Norway, have been leading technology innovation, development & realization. Less focus have been put on business innovation - how to

47

structure the subsea business for efficiency and sound competition.

The Subsea branch today operate based upon a “closed” business model, where four international players “own” the value chain from a to z. We see an industry with company individual product-to-system interfaces. A large number of Oil Companies invest heavily in developing individual requirements, specifications and standards.

The presentation will address these main topics as follows; 1. Standard requirements & spec`s - the key to unlock a significant improvement potential in cost base, lead time, execution and technical risk. Today`s model severely impact the product providers ability to set up an efficient supply chain and fabrication line.

2. Standard interfaces - enabler for a more cost efficient Subsea Industry, relevant for traditional subsea production systems as well as realization of the “Subsea Factory“ combining a wide variety of advanced functions.

3. More cost efficient business models – how to open the value chain for improved competition, driving for more specialized and efficient roles in the value chain. Examples of success from other industries, how the Subsea industry could change this and the potential upsides will be presented.

A New Approach to Subsea Pipeline Repairs

That new technologies are available as an alternative to welding and mechanical connectors in subsea pipeline repairs, bringing greater flexibility, simplicity and cost savings.

Traditionally, the subsea pipeline repair market has been characterised by high subsea intervention costs and complex, expensive solutions.

Specialist diver training is often required along with diver and support vessel costs and extensive pipe preparation. Underwater welding also comes with its own cost and safety considerations.

This presentation will look at a new ‘cold-work’ alternative to traditional methods in subsea pipeline repairs where a flange is slid onto the pipe and a re-usable hydraulic tool used to activate it. The result is greater flexibility and simplicity and increased cost savings in subsea pipeline repairs.

The presentation will examine the key design criteria for the new technology including ease of installation and activation; the ability to be used on multiple pipe ranges and in EPRS (Emergency Pipeline Repair Systems) contingency situations; and increased simplicity with no moving parts, grips or other components.

The presentation will look at how the technology can be deployed on subsea applications such as pipe lay, decommissioning, pipe work and new spool tie-ins, and how it has been developed by Quickflange in partnership with the Norwegian Research Council, the University of Agder (where Quickflange is supporting a PhD project for utilisation of the technology in bigger pipes and higher pressures); and the National Hyperbaric Centre. The results of testing with a leading operator will also be introduced.

The presentation will conclude that ‘diver-less’ and remote operations also remain a real future possibility for subsea repairs and pipeline connections with the technology particularly applicable for deep water operations.

GRP Protection Cover Design with Stricter Design Requirements from Operators

GRP protection cover design There are several design considerations that dictate the protection fashion of subsea structures and pipelines. Traditionally, subsea structures have been protected by relatively heavy, costly steel and/or concrete covers which are susceptible to corrosion and abrasion. These are also very impractical to recover after design life. Whereas in the case of subsea pipelines and spools rock dump, concrete mattresses and several other forms of mechanical protection have been preferred. All these ‘lock’ the pipeline, resulting in risk of global and local buckling problems as well as considerable reaction loads at the tie-in connectors at the ends which is a challenge in almost every subsea construction project. Therefore protection covers made up of Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) have been developed and are taken in use. Subsea 7 have successfully designed, fabricated and installed hundreds of protection covers over the last decade.

Typical design criteria for GRP protection covers are the installation loads connected to lifting, fishing gear load, structural integrity against dropped object loadings and on-bottom stability for both temporary and permanent in place conditions. All of the design requirements are satisfied by means of detailed analyses and series of the model tests in line with the industry standards and codes.

Lately there is increasing demand from operator companies for deviating from the above-mentioned design criteria to the stricter side together with the increased design life time which brings along challenges, uncertainties as well as instilled confidence with respect to both design and fabrication process of GRP protection covers.

This paper focuses on the recent improvements done to deal with these challenges. The improvements summarized in the study span from the choosing of manufacturing process and material selection to achieve wanted material properties and in-depth assessment of failure criteria, which can often occur at microstructural level, for better understanding of complex composite material behaviour, to application of new model tests in order to see the agreement between test results and finite element analyses results.

These improvements are attempts to take the GRP protection cover design to the next level so that GRP as a material still remains as a credible and cost effective option ready for project application

Subsea Processing: Oil/Water Quality control

Monitoring and Controlling your subsea separation process gives better performance This paper discusses briefly some of the most vital performance control loops for a subsea oil/water separation processes, a subsea raw seawater chlorination/injection plant, and a subsea compression plant. Monitoring issues for a subsea separation plant: - The water quality needs to be monitored (so that there is not too much oil and sand in it). - Sand may accumulate in the separator vessel, and ultimately fill it up

48

so that it no longer operates properly. The sand deposition needs to be monitored, and the sand flushed out when necessary.

Monitoring issues for a subsea compression plant: - Liquid carryover from scrubber to compressor needs to be monitored - Solids build-up in scrubber need to be monitored. Monitoring issues for a subsea seawater chlorination/injection plant: - Solids content in injection water - Live bacteria content in injection water Monitoring issues for a subsea raw seawater injection plant: - Solids content in injection water - Bacteria content in injection water The 6 main control loops discussed in this paper are thus: - Separation Oil quality sensing and control - Separation Water quality sensing and control - Sand deposition sensing and control - Liquid carry-over sensing and control - Solids content monitoring and control in injection water - Bacterial content monitoring and control in injection water Sensing and mitigating options are discussed.

DVCM – Deep water Vertical Cluster Manifold

Technical approach taken and challenges overcome to arrive at a structured manifold concept that covers a wide range of field conditions and customer requirements The Vetco Gray DVCM is GE’s first structured manifold concept. It is part of GE’s new portfolio of structured, modular manifold solutions that includes cluster and template applications, production, injection and WAG applications, vertical and horizontal connections, and a range of foundation systems to suit different soil conditions and seabed properties.

The DVCM is designed for deep water applications where vertical jumper and flowline connections up to 12” pipe are specified. The concept can easily be adopted to fit a wide range of field conditions and customer specifications. This includes as different flowline sizes, flexible or rigid spools, goosenecks, various design pressures and temperatures, gas lift applications, dual or single control pods etc.

Our structured system approach is based on a high level of pre-engineering, allowing for early concept definition, procurement and fabrication.

Modular designs allow pre-provisioning of standard equipment such as valves, connectors, control modules, MQC plates, lifting equipment, foundation equipment and piping modules. The predefined approach will allow for early design freeze and procurement of long lead items and reduced overall delivery time.

The DVCM is based on a single suction pile for soft clay soil. This type of manifold design is widely used in West of Africa oilfield projects for a range of customers. The design is also well suited for oilfield developments in Gulf of Mexico, South East Asia and Brazil. The design limitations have been defined by comprehensive market surveys and covers up to 90% of the potential applications.

Subsea Applications of Jet Pump Systems, Options and Benefits

If it has proven to assist production on the surface, there will be opportunities for its subsea application too Recent decades have seen major advances in the use of subsea production systems. These have been applied mainly to deep water and satellite fields which are a long distance away from existing production facilities. Cost savings and the need to maximise recovery from such fields have been the main driver behind adoption of subsea production and boosting systems.

The main requirements for all subsea equipment and production systems are their reliability - requiring minimum maintenance, ease of operation and adequate robustness to cope with changes to the operating conditions during the life of the field. Other factors include ease of installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance .

Transportation of produced fluids in many subsea production systems demands a boosting system to - it is this requirement which has led to the development of separators, multiphase pumps, compressors and other equipment that can be deployed in harsh, subsea environments.

To date there has been limited subsea use of Surface Jet Pumps, (otherwise known as eductors or ejectors). However in being passive devices, with no moving components they are amongst the safest, simplest and most reliable options, making them ideal for subsea applications.

This paper describes the principles of jet pump operation and illustrates their use in subsea applications to date, before detailing potential situations where subsea use would be highly beneficial. Whilst most of the solutions discussed are new in a subsea context, similar solutions have been adopted and used successfully in onshore and offshore applications.

Subsea HPU for Long Step-Out Developments

Understand how and where a subsea field development can benefit from using a Subsea Hydraulic Power Unit, either as a brown field repair unit or as integrated units on a green field.

For deep waters and longs step-outs the hydraulic control system will be less effective due to long umbilical lines. For that purpose Siemens Subsea and Statoil have jointly taken on the development of a Subsea Hydraulic Power Unit (SHPU). The objective is to replace current hydraulic power transmission supply with a more efficient electrical power transmission combined with local subsea energy storage. It will have important benefits: - Save umbilical cost in long step-outs including deep waters - Remove hydraulic friction losses in the umbilical - Reduce topside size & weight (remove topside HPU) - Reduction in fluid volumes and discharge to the environment The SHPU will take auxiliary electrical power from existing infrastructure at the well site, and then supply hydraulic power required for operation of the well system. Operated in this way, a well system can achieve faster hydraulic response, less energy usage, and reduced umbilical cost.

The SHPU does not require changes in ESD strategy or well interfaces.

The SHPU has local energy storage to manage power consumption. This makes it suitable as a repair unit on brown fields with constraints on electrical power; for example for existing field with: - Lack of fluid lines in umbilical - A need for tie back of new satellites to an existing installation - Leakages in existing umbilical lines - Blocked umbilical line The talk will present the status of the SHPU project, its main components, and finally present an animation of its intended use.
