AHMS has been developed for FPSOs in the Monitas Joint Industry Project as a fully automated system, which explains and advises on the fatigue lifetime consumption of the hull of FPSOs. The explanations and advice offered are based on a comparison between the design and the actual predicted lifetime consumption by replacing the design parameters including environmental and operational conditions with the measured data. The system differentiates between the contributions of environmental and operational conditions as well as hydro-mechanic and structural responses. The AHMS system comprises hardware and software for smart data gathering and processing. AHMS hardware includes strain- type sensors on deck and inside the Water Ballast Tanks (WBTs) and/or void spaces and interfaces with external systems including the Computer Loading Instrument (CLI), Gyro and metocean system. AHMS has generally been installed onboard newly built floaters including the Usan FPSO (Nigeria), Clov FPSO (Angola), Ichthys FPSO (Australia) and Moho Nord FPU (Congo). Being in operation since 2005, the Bonga FPSO has lived 14 of its 20-year design life. Given the constraints inherent in her design, deployment of the AHMS for the FPSO's hull fatigue life monitoring therefore presented unique installation challenges to overcome as would be expected for ageing brownfield assets. To add to this challenge, the installation was carried out during production and so required strict adherence to the stringent safety requirements of Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPs) on a live plant. This paper describes in detail, the AHMS hardware, the complexity and challenges of their installation for the Bonga FPSO and highlights lessons learned for typical brownfiled retrofit of this nature.\u0000 OCTOPUS MONITAS, the software of the AHMS system for the smart data processing, calculates onboard fatigue lifetime consumption of the hull and explains the differences against design predictions.

After the hydrostatic pressure test, the industry norm is to dewater and dry the flowlines. However, the system architecture (one flexible flowline per well) requires subsea maneuvers around the subsea trees, which brings about significant risk of damaging the trees.\u0000 Several alternatives (shown below) were proposed:Base Case – The original plan was to remove the tree choke insert, then insert the newly developed temporary subsea pig receiver into the choke body. Nitrogen (N2) and gel pigs are used to push water from the topsides to the subsea tree. The specification is to reduce the flowline water content to 5% or less.Alternative 1 – Involved not using the gel pigs and only using N2 gas to push the water out from the topside to the subsea tree. This alternative would not require a temporary pig receiver, which reduces the chance of damaging the choke insert profile.Alternative 2 – Involves dewatering the flowline using the umbilical tubes (methanol lines). This has an advantage in that there is no need to pull the subsea tree choke insert, which reduces the risk of damaging the trees.Alternative 3 – Do nothing and leave the seawater in the flowlines. The production stream would be used to push the water into the production system during first gas production (well offloading).\u0000 The study concluded that all three alternatives were technically feasible. For Alternative 3, an additional assessment was conducted to determine the impact of seawater on the flexible pipe when exposed for an extended time. Ultimately, the decision was made to not dewater the flowlines. The corresponding well offloading (flow back) procedure and a contingency plan were then developed.\u0000 The Juniper development had first gas in September 2017. The first well offloading with integrated de-watering went as planned. The decision of not-dewatering the flowlines was proven to be a good decision by reducing risks, costs and simplifying the schedule during the commissioning period.","PeriodicalId":10948,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, May 07, 2019","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85180380","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it was not possible to abandon the well conventionally. This complex abandonment scenario demanded for a rig to drill an intervention well (IW1) and set up the safety barriers. The IW1 well was successfully drilled, intercepting the production well (PW1) at 3,056-m (TD) through a 1.10-m long slotted window. The whole operation was monitored via PDG from the PW1, making possible to identify the exact moment that the interception occurred and safely displacing the cementing fluids, while avoiding the risk of fracturing exposed formations. Numerical simulations and real time monitoring of the injection pressure demonstrated the success of the operation with excellent adherence between the plan and the execution phases.\u0000 Due to the restrictions imposed by the characteristics of the PW1 reservoir, production tubing and its accessories, such as, slotted liner, ESP, NRV and DHSV, it was necessary to evaluate plugging materials that could be displaced through those restrictions without reaching the fracture limit of formation at the IW1 casing shoe. Ultrafine cement, pure resin and combinations of both were selected for their ability to pass through restrictions and resist to contamination by fluids present in the well, while also developing compressive strength to provide zonal isolation. Optimized plugging formulations were evaluated by passing them through artificial porous media, which simulated the PW1 well restrictions.\u0000 After 87 operational days, the PW1 well was successfully abandoned. A 79-m long cement plug was set in the annulus A and inside the tubing.

Flow Assurance can be expressed as the coupling of multiphase flow and fluid phase behavior. There are only three questions to be answered for a pantheon of problems that can impede flow over the life of the development. The three questions are 1) will there be a flow assurance risk?; 2) how often will the issue require treatment?; and 3) can the risk be effectively managed by thermal, mechanical, and chemical means?\u0000 The limitations of the strategies are becoming increasingly apparent as the requirements for system performance continue to become more demanding with changing and challenging offshore environment in the current dynamic market. Subsea technologies continue to be asked to facilitate recovering oil and gas while lowering cost while improving safety and operating efficiency to meet current industry challenges. Hence, there is a greater need to understand the flow assurance strategies to reduce overall field development costs and risk, and improve operability and reliability.\u0000 Key flow assurance strategies adopted in various deepwater projects were considered for this study with an aim to summarize common strategies that arise and exceptions that could provide new strategies going forward.","PeriodicalId":10948,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Tue, May 07, 2019","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86068900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The field is 112 miles (180 km) off Norway’s coast, with the platform drawing first oil in December 2016. In January 2019 — after operating identical offshore and onshore platform control rooms — the company started conducting remote condition monitoring of platform machinery exclusively from its control room onshore in Trondheim, Norway, 620 miles (1,000 km) away. With the remote equipment condition monitoring done onshore, the operator is better able to optimize maintenance work and schedules. At the same time, it has contributed to a big reduction in the number of offshore personnel otherwise required, reducing operating costs and personnel risks substantially. In May 2018, Siemens entered into a long-term partnership with the operator to continue developing digital solutions in a closed-loop lifecycle approach, utilizing the digital twin concept from pre-FEED and FEED stages through construction, commissioning, and operations, with operations expected to continue for a minimum of 20-years.

Deadlegs often pose hydrate control challenges to gas and oil production systems as the fluid inside is close to stagnant and therefore can be rapidly cooled by the environment without proper insulation or heat tracing. Water vapor can condense in the deadleg, resulting in a potential hydrate risk. Over time the deadleg may be blocked completely by hydrates. The hydrate challenges, if not properly managed, can cause severe consequences in terms of safety and cost for oil/gas productions. A systematic study has been performed to better understand the process and mechanism of hydrate deposition in deadlegs. To study hydrate deposition in deadlegs experimentally, laboratory scale deadleg systems were designed and built to consider pipe sizes of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-in. inner diameter and approximately 50 in. long. The pipes were gas-filled and saturated with water from a reservoir at the bottom of the pipe. The experimental work focused on measuring hydrate deposition, and in some cases, plugging, for different water reservoir temperatures (30 to 80 °C), pipe wall temperatures (-10 to 15 °C), and duration (1 to 84 days).

Different subsea measurements from startup and normal production phases were obtained and combined to extract valuable information regarding water production and to monitor hydrate inhibitor dosage in real time.\u0000 Conventional hydrate inhibition system overdesign and overdosage would have had a significant impact on the technical and financial viability of the Zohr development, considering that no monoethylene glycol (MEG) regeneration capability was available at startup due to the fast-track nature of the project. Therefore, it was critical to limit the use of MEG, selected as hydrate inhibitor, in order to manage the available storage capacity.\u0000 A data interpretation model was developed for the subsea water analysis sensor based on flow loop testing and analytical methods, allowing for real-time measurement of the MEG dosage for each well. Flow assurance modeling was performed to validate subsea measurements, and to explore model limitations and enhancements.\u0000 Field data comparisons provided unprecedented insight into unexpected reservoir behavior several weeks faster than measuring fluids arriving onshore, considering the 220-km tieback distance. Indeed, the produced fluids at startup contained water at an order of magnitude more than initially expected, which would normally have resulted in underinhibition and a possible hydrate blockage risk. The subsea measurement system allows for MEG dosage to be monitored and injection flow rates to be adjusted in real time, from the first day of production, to respond to the fluids produced subsea. With only two wells initially producing in a 26-in, 220-km-long flowline, up to 5 weeks were required until produced water was received onshore for sampling.
