This manner of design, however, is limited by practical difficulties which arise in the areas of manufacturing, handling/lifting, and uniformity of through-thickness material properties. Designs of more efficient size and weight may be developed by relaxing assumed design factors and hydrotest pressures, but this requires more rigorous analysis, validation, and QA measures.\u0000 In particular, designers must address the fatigue susceptibility of HPHT equipment which, even in purely static conditions, may fail under cycles of shut-in pressure alone. These failures typically originate from stress risers such as cross-bores, seat pockets, or transitions in bore diameter, which exhibit complex stress states under the action of internal pressure. A fracture mechanics (FM) based analysis of such features has presented a longstanding challenge to designers and analysts as general solutions for their KI and σref are not presently available.\u0000 It is therefore the objective of this paper to provide a useful methodology for conducting FM-based analysis of arbitrary geometry using the KI and σref solutions provided in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. The method is presented in the form of a case study which describes the FM-based fatigue analysis of a seat pocket radius within a valve body. Here, the mode I behavior of a hypothetical surface-breaking, semi-elliptical flaw located at the seat pocket radius is evaluated by means of 3D finite element analysis.\u0000 This method generally comprises two parts. The first involves the development of a 3D finite element model similar to what would be used in a conventional durability analysis. From this model, stresses are extracted along an anticipated fracture plane and used in conjunction with a weight function method to derive KI and σref from solutions provided in API 579-1/ASME FFS-1. These solutions are then used to compute the number of cycles to unstable fracture.\u0000 The second part involves the direct incorporation of cracks into the finite element model. The approach benefits from a submodeling technique which reduces computational expense and allows the method to be used on complex structures. The numerical model is used in conjunction with conventional linear-elastic fracture mechanics assumptions to derive KI solutions for the geometry of interest. These KI results are used to confirm the conservatism of the code-based solutions and, thereby, the conservatism of the previous FM analysis.\u0000 The method described in this paper allows designers to rapidly develop and execute FM-based fatigue analyses of arbitrary geometric features in timeframes similar to those associated with traditional S-N analysis.","PeriodicalId":10968,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, May 08, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75178424","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 proper selection and sizing of the upstream gas treating and liquefaction system is critical during Front End Engineering Design (FEED) to ensure that the system footprint, weight and center-of-gravity is appropriately estimated as this effects the sizing, design and performance of the floating hull.\u0000 This paper will demonstrate how the process design can be optimized over a range of feed compositions or conditions if some flexibility is built into the liquefaction heat exchange during design. This preserves flexibility as a key advantage of the technology. The intent is to reduce process inefficiencies and promote competitiveness with other technologies. Note that there are many different nitrogen expander technology configurations available in the market. The configuration used here is generic and used to demonstrate the optimization concept.\u0000 With 10 independent variables and coupling between the variables, this optimization is difficult to perform using simple manual methods. Therefore we will employ a coupled simulation-optimization method.\u0000 This paper also provides insight to the application of coupled simulation-optimization to problems, as illustrated by the specific application to a dual titrogen expander technology. Although this method is applicable to the initial design of liquefaction processes, the focus here is on off-design optimization of the facility later in the design cycle and in operation.\u0000 This optimization methodology is shown to provide benefits beyond the initial process design, extending into the operation of the facility.

It consists of a floating tubular sub-structure connected with tendons to a counterweight providing pendulum-restoring forces. The whole floating system is anchored with six low-tension mooring lines. Model tests were carried out in wave basin test facilities at Ecole Centrale de Nantes to provide insight into hydrodynamic behavior of the system under operational and extreme wave conditions. Two installation depths were studied: intermediate and deeper water depth configurations with 75 and 150 meters water depth respectively. Two wind turbine capacities were tested: 8MW and 12MW. Responses of the system were investigated under different irregular wave conditions: operational condition with significant wave height Hs = 4 m and two extreme wave conditions with significant wave heights Hs=8m and 14 m. Sensitivity tests were also performed for various wave periods Tp (Tp = 8, 12 and 16 seconds). Results of these tests demonstrate that the floater is extremely stable with very low pitch motions as well as low vertical & horizontal accelerations both in operational and extreme wave conditions. Detailed results are presented in this paper. This stable dynamic behavior is obtained because natural periods of the floater are far away from wave spectrum peak and it thus leads to low dynamic loads in the mooring lines. This beneficial seakeeping feature and the possibility of accommodating even larger wind turbines with minor modifications on the floater design make the proposed FOWT a relevant concept for the upcoming offshore floating wind market.","PeriodicalId":10968,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, May 08, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75157321","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}

Per the code of federal regulations, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) regulates oil and gas exploration, development, and production operations on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Unlike historical OCS projects with pressures less than 15,000 psi and temperatures less than 350°F where subsea production equipment is governed by codes and standards referenced in 30 CFR 250.804(b), equipment required for well completion or well control in HPHT environments in most instances exceeds the ratings prescribed in these established codes and standards. Industry's initial attempt to address all wellbore issues and challenges associated with HPHT from sand face to pipeline in a holistic manner was through API TR PER15K, 1st Ed. which was released in March 2013. API PER15K was never intended to serve as a guideline for HPHT design verification and validation, thus additional direction was needed.\u0000 To address the need for extension of industry codes and standards to ratings needed for HPHT equipment, the 1st Edition of API 17TR8 was released in February 2015 and represented Industry's initial guideline for HPHT subsea equipment development. Through use of the guideline, key lessons learned, and technical gaps were identified and incorporated into the document, which is now reflected in the 2nd Edition released in March 2018.\u0000 As industry-led equipment development programs have progressed to a mature stage, Chevron has identified two topics in API 17TR8 which serve as the fundamental drivers for defining equipment operational limitations: Extreme/Survival ratings for equipment designed according to Elastic-Plastic (E-P) design methods as prescribed in ASME Section VIII Div. 2 & Div. 3,Equipment serviceability criteria.\u0000 The current guidance in 17TR8 is quite clear as it relates to defining equipment capacity via FEA but puts the onus on the Offshore Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Operator to define how serviceability can impact operational limits.\u0000 Industry has presented work to validate the normal, extreme, and survival load factors for E-P analysis (Ref. Dril-Quip OTC-27605-MS), but most of this work has been performed on non-complex, single body geometries. Similarly, the industry is wrestling with a consistent view of how to address serviceability. This paper discusses the following: 1.) Recommended design codes in API 17TR8 and an Operator's perspective on application of these codes; 2.)

This is done using two fiber optics sensing systems, a Distributed Acoustic Sensing \"DAS\" system and a Fiber Bragg Grating \"FBG\" system. A laboratory setup is used to conduct these tests and the setup is structured to simulate an offshore environment. The laboratory setup consists of a water reservoir that flows water through PVC pipes into a tank, fibers are attached to the pipes, and a flow meter is used to measure the flow rates. From the conducted flow experiments, a relationship between flow rates, DAS amplitudes, and FBG wavelength shifts is built.\u0000 This paper presents the response of fiber optic sensing systems to flow experiments that were conducted with various flow rates, and simulated leak tests with and without flow. The results are used to establish a relationship between the fiber optic response and flow variation, to develop a method of measuring flow rates via the fiber optic systems. Such that any pipes equipped with fiber optics could be used to measure approximate flow rates.\u0000 This study finds a strong correlation between the fiber optic sensing systems measurements and measured flow rates. In the FBG system, flow was found to have two influences on the FBG measurement; an increase in flow shows an increase in the FBG sensor wavelength, also, the turbulence of flow was found to be proportional to the amount of fluctuations in the FBG measurements. Such that wavelength shifts of up to 120 picometers are visible for an average flow rate of 27±0.1 Gal/min. With the DAS system, the amplitude response shows a stronger relationship to the turbulence of flow rather than the average flow rate. Such that the highest amplitude response during a flow test would always correspond to the flow valve being half open (which was found to be the most turbulent flow).\u0000 In conclusion, this study indicates that fiber optic sensing systems can be used on pipelines and well casing to monitor and measure flow. Additionally, it demonstrates that taping the sensors on the pipe is enough to capture the signal produced by fluid flow in a pipe. The relationship provided between the FBG measurements and flow rates can be used to compute approximated flow rates when using an FBG sensing system to monitor flow.","PeriodicalId":10968,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, May 08, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86943026","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 Residual Curvature Method (RCM) presents as an alternative technical option for such cases. The technique comprises understraightening in intermittent sections of the ‘as-laid’ pipeline which form ‘expansion loops’ and provide a proven, reliable and cost-effective buckling mitigation. The method was successfully implemented in Statoil’s Skuld project in 2012 and subsequently a few other projects worldwide which are all single pipeline systems. However, the RC method was not used as a buckling mitigation method for a pipe in pipe system to date to the knowledge of the authors.\u0000 Residual curvature method could be proven superior for HPHT Pipe-in-Pipe Systems to other lateral buckling methods (thanks to controlled well-developed buckles at pre-determined locations) under some favourable design conditions.

The PIP system is considered to be laid by a reel-lay method, which is amenable to inducing the residual curvature at the pre-determined RC locations during pipelay process.\u0000 The study includes the special considerations required in deploying the method on an undulating seabed taking into account unplanned buckles or spans and the necessary adjustment to be made to pre-determined buckle sites. The study includes the effects of inner pipe snaking (with residual curvature) within a near straight outer pipe due to the reeling process and its impact on the lateral buckling behaviour.

A case study is presented, highlighting the key differences between systems, and includes comparisons between data obtained during engineering development and field deployment phases\u0000 During the development phase rigorous testing was conducted in line with API RP 19B sections 2, 3.14, and 5 to characterize the perforating systems' performance. These tests were executed to assess charge performance, system pressure rating at downhole conditions, and debris characteristics at surface conditions. Following the development testing, the systems were fielded with wellbore pressure being captured on downhole gauges to assess the perforating event response comparing to pre-deployment models. Additionally, wellbore debris recovered post-perforating was evaluated on surface.\u0000 The first system was to support an HP application that requires high flow area in heavy wall casing. This was the platform for other less traditional systems to expand upon. Utilizing high shot density and big hole (BH) charges, this system was tested to provide a system rating of up to 30 ksi at 425°F while retaining fishability in heavy wall casing. For this system, wellbore effects from perforating, such as dynamic underbalance and recovered debris, are qualitatively aligned with existing perforators.\u0000 The second system was optimized to control dynamic transient loading on the perforating string and minimize debris in HP environments. This meant the system was required to fit into a strategy of lowering dynamic structural loads on the workstring created during perforating. The system was designed to affect the pressure interactions among the gun internals, wellbore, and the formation, and control the amount of formation material inflow and debris produced by perforating. This perforating system was developed, qualified, and successfully fielded in multiple wells without any operational issues.\u0000 The third system provides increased formation penetration depth without sacrificing shot density. By using deep penetrating (DP) charges, this system is can provide penetration past drilling damage or mitigate higher formation strengths encountered at greater depths in some HP US GoM reservoirs, thus providing operators improved connectivity to the formation.\u0000 Evaluating perforating system performance, not only with lab testing but with field-gathered data, is crucial to closing the development loop for HP applications where testing is not practical due to both scale and replication of wellbore conditions. In deployment, the well conditions for the systems were analogous, highlighting the differences in data, thus providing a more complete background for operators to assess the suitability of these systems in HP applications and evaluate their perforating method to maximize production.","PeriodicalId":10968,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, May 08, 2019","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80846177","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}
