It can cause premature failure of the equipment, for example piping and pipeline. Mitigation by adding sand removal facility is limited by space, available load, and handling at satellite wellhead platform. It also introduced additional pressure drop which limit the production that already in low pressure. One of the measures to mitigate sand erosion issue for the offshore pipeline and riser is by flow assurance, to reduce the flow velocity so that the sand velocity will be less than the erosional velocity. This mitigation comes with drawback where reducing velocity will require bigger size pipeline, higher cost, and introduce higher liquid dropout along the pipeline which will create severe slugging issue in the pipeline. Next mitigation can be done by increasing bend radius along the pipeline, to reduce impact angle of the sand to the internal surface of the pipeline. Last mitigation will be increasing resistance of the material to the sand erosion. Combination of those methodology is required to achieve the most optimum solution to mitigate sand erosion. This paper present sand erosion mitigation on one of the existing pipeline replacement projects in PETRONAS by application of unbonded flexible pipe. Modeling of the of the erosion due to sand particle solution in the pipeline was done using computational fluid dynamic finite element analysis simulation. Experimental test with samples positioned at various orientation of the riser bend location were also investigated. Concerning the exceptional balance between results efficiency and simulation time, a grid sensitivity test has also been included. Various parameters were used to verify the sensitivity of the simulation including materials properties for various fluid composition data obtained from production forecast and fluid velocity as modeled in the pipeline steady state hydraulic analysis and transient flow assurance analysis. As result, the thickness of internal carcass is found sufficient to withstand the erosion threat generated by sand particles for the entire design life of the pipeline. The results obtained from finite element analysis and erosion experimental test were then correlated, and the comparison were illustrated in graph of velocity against erosion rate for each of sand concentration. The result of the modeling and experimental testing may improve prediction model of the sand erosion in the offshore pipeline especially for flexible pipeline and riser application.","PeriodicalId":11011,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 24, 2022","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83007045","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 high volume of wells enables sufficient production output, but their costs must be well managed for overall field economics. An important cost component comes from the perforating operation that involves several runs of guns on electric wireline, and on each run consists of several guns that are activated sequentially using switches. This process of perforating multiple zones in a well, if not managed, will lead to extended operational time or worse, leading to serious problems like off-depth perforation. Additionally, the temperature of the wells averaging at 370 degF poses an additional challenge to the operations.\u0000 The efficiency of operation is paramount in achieving better well economics. Hence, several operational and technology optimizations were performed over the years to achieve several incremental in efficiency. Incremental improvement is always valuable in such a high-volume operation involving thousands of perforating runs annually. However, the gain is even more pronounced when a step change in efficiency is achieved, and this has been observed in the new gun docking system engineered for the high-volume market in Thailand. It enables quicker connection of multiple guns on the surface with better safety and reliability.\u0000 This paper discusses the background of the high-volume perforating in Thailand and the need for efficiency, which led to the development of this new gun docking system tailored for this market. This docking system technology is presented together with the statistics of its deployment in over 300 perforating runs to date and compared to the statistics of the previous system. The efficiency achieved comes from its quicker connection and arming system, combined with its better safety and reliability that lead to a lower misfire rate.\u0000 The success of its deployment and more importantly, its step change in efficiency may pave ways for more marginal fields to be developed globally. Additionally, as thousands of perforating runs are performed globally, its efficiency will also play a vital role in shortening operational times and contribute to lower global carbon emission.","PeriodicalId":11011,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 24, 2022","volume":"97 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85775901","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}

Situational Assessment consists of 13 integrated subsurface and surface elements to evaluate a field capability to manage sand production. These 13 elements include sand management philosophy and organisation setup, sand prediction, sand control design, sand sampling and monitoring as well as surface sand handling and disposal. Findings from the assessment are used to gauge the field's readiness and ability to manage sand operation and develop gaps closure plan to achieve the optimum holistic sand management. The Sand Erosional and Transportation (SET) tool, an in-house developed tool, is used to evaluate sand erosion and deposition risk in the production system. The tool is used extensively to generate a safe operating envelope for sand producing well during open-up and continuous production. This has allowed the company to shift from limiting production up to a specific sand concentration to erosion risk-based approach, which in turn creates production optimization opportunities. Regular and continuous upskilling sessions ensure the frontline operations are updated and abreast with best practices in sand management. In addition, the ISM team reviews and leverages on latest technology, actively organises pilot test at a selected site supported with digital enhancement to assist in sand management activities. The application of a Holistic Sand Management methodology is seen to reduce erosion related Loss of Primary Containment (LOPC), sustain production, and minimise unplanned deferment.

Interpretation of recent logs from a nearby producing well indicated that there was significant water threat at two of the sands which would lead to water influx from the beginning of production if the well was to be completed as a single zone OHGP.\u0000 The well was then redesigned to be completed as a Cased Hole Gravel Pack (CHGP) in order to have mechanical isolation from the water zones with an inner string and internal isolation packers to allow feasibility of zonal isolation to shut off the water producing zone in the future. This feature however resulted in higher well cost as compared to the approved design.\u0000 Due to recent hostile low oil price, a more cost-effective sand control design was evaluated to reduce the well cost while maintaining similar performances as a CHGP design in terms of the capability to delay water breakthrough. Design feasibility study was performed on multizone OHGP with open hole mechanical packer and an inner string design to evaluate its performance and magnitude of cost reduction relative to a CHGP design.\u0000 Skin analysis was performed for both OHGP and CHGP completion designs to evaluate any additional pressure loss for each sand. Prior to compartment optimization, an OHGP completion without packer placement was simulated in a dynamic simulation to generate the production profile as a base case. This was followed by a compartment optimization that was performed with OH mechanical packer placement at various standoff distances from the Gas-Water Contact (GWC) such as 5ft, 10ft, 15ft, 20ft and 30ft respectively.\u0000 Subsequently, similar analysis was then performed on the CHGP completion design with a higher skin value estimated for the CHGP completion to reflect a higher degree of damage resulting from the cementing and perforation operations. Several production sensitivities were simulated by varying the perforation length and standoff from the GWC to replicate the same scenario of the open hole mechanical packer placement in the OHGP design analysis. Finally, analysis on the effectiveness of the base case (OHGP with no packer) against the cases of OHGP with optimum packer placement and CHGP with optimum perforation depth were compared and ranked over cumulative gas production, cumulative water production, operational complexity, and risk as well as total well cost.\u0000 Based on the dynamic modelling, the base case (OHGP without packer) showed water breakthrough occurring right at the start of production as expected. Once breakthrough occured, water production would rapidly dominate production. On the other hand, packer placement sensitivity analysis for the OHGP design showed that the optimum depth for packer placement was 20ft or 30ft above the GWC depth where it provided highest gas cumulative and low","PeriodicalId":11011,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 24, 2022","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86263904","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}

Offshore execution activities were heavily congested with multiple works fronts from Drilling, Mooring, Hook-up Commissioning alongside existing production and maintenance operations of the Malikai facility requiring prioritization via simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) activities.\u0000 The paper highlights the challenges of conventional radiography for inspection activities post pipework welding, which is usually scheduled within windows of low activities i.e. in the night with lower risk of personnel exposure to possible radiation. Since drilling operations runs 24 hours continuously, it renders almost impossible for conventional radiography inspection activities to take place as required.\u0000 This paper also describes the benefits with the introduction of SAR technology, the radiation exclusion zone can be set to less than 5 meters, thus allowing the topsides facilities pipework welding to take place concurrent with drilling and operation activities, achieving project success factors of optimized manning requirement and earlier than plan First Oil Date (FOD).\u0000 Advanced NDT technologies in the market like small area radiography and phased-array ultrasound were evaluated. Considering the piping diameter/wall thickness & material being Stainless Steel/Duplex SS (coarse grain welds – requires more extensive PAUT qualification), the final decision was to use SAR.

The running of control lines and umbilicals have historically used hanging sheaves to route the lines from the spoolers to well center and require increased number of personnel in the red zone during operations. These complexities introduce many risks and potential incidents that operators aim to eliminate.\u0000 Typical procedures for running completions require man-riding operations to hang sheaves in the derrick. Once the control lines or umbilicals are routed through these sheaves, they become overhead loaded objects and subsequently increase the risk of incident to personnel working on the rig floor. Other operational steps include the manual manipulation of lines to clamp the lines/umbilical to the tubular. This traditional clamping procedure not only requires an increased number of personnel in the red zone, but it also introduces inefficiencies to the operation. Through planning and the use of specialized remote manipulation technologies, operators can remove the need for overhead control line/umbilical sheaves and the manual handling of lines in the red zone.\u0000 Although risks do not always result in incidents, organizations still strive to eliminate risks throughout their operations. By using remote manipulation technologies that eliminate control line/umbilical hanging sheaves, the operators benefit from the following:\u0000 – Eliminating working at height for sheave installation – Eliminating overhead loaded components and increasing safety of personnel working on the rig floor – Decreasing the number of personnel required in the red zone and reducing manual handling – Increasing the efficiency of the operation\u0000 By using systems like these, operators have been able to increase average running speeds, improving from 8.8 to 5.9 minutes per joint, as well as eliminate potentially fatal incidents that have occurred during the completions running process.","PeriodicalId":11011,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 24, 2022","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86303432","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 establishment of the Task Force was driven by the need to standardize, expand the NUF concept to all type of facilities and ensure industry wide acceptance of NUF standardization. To meet these objectives, the Task Force has produced a white paper to outline the design principles, anticipated challenges and enablers to allow for the implementation of a standard NUF design.\u0000 NUF will enable oil and gas facilities to be remotely operated in a safe and reliable manner with no crew visitation for determined periods of time. However, this requires a change in the approach to designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining the facility. The NUF Task Force focused on cost compression, unattended duration and sustainability through reduced carbon emissions as key objectives in NUF design optimization. The proposed NUF design will reduce carbon emissions through high reliability, low emission equipment selection and reduction of marine vessels utilization. Technology advancement will allow for lean design, remote control and analysis to efficiently and effectively plan maintenance and optimize operations. Brownfield quick wins will provide avenue for technology maturity, drive for higher reliability and improving overall asset performance. These help in shifting the mindset of personnel involved. Change management is required for governance & procedural changes whilst human retooling will be required for the new skillsets.\u0000 The main value drivers that support NUF implementation include but, are not limited to, the anticipated reduction in HSE risk exposure to personnel, a substantial reduction in CAPEX and OPEX, and lower greenhouse gases, with reliability better than or equal to attended facilities.

Pertamina Hulu Mahakam (PHM) and located in deltaic and offshore environment in East Kalimantan, Indonesia. Until today, the field has produced oil and gas for more than 50 years and categorized as \"brown field\" due to its declining production and marginal reserve potential. This condition has led to numerous effort to boost efficiency in well delivery from drilling perspective such that the reserve could be produced more economically.\u0000 One of the effort that has been done to create a well to be more economical is by increasing the Rate of Penetration (ROP). An increase in ROP would directly impact on well duration that could be finished faster in such that it would also impact on much lower well cost. There are several key factors that influence ROP, yet the most crucial part is coming from drilling bit design that is used to drill the formation. Incompatibility between bit design with formation and directional drive type would often result in slow drilling progress and thus would make a well less profitable. To support this idea, the operator has launched a campaign called MAXIDRILL with aim to have a persistent excellent drilling performance from ROP perspective. Selective approach to different bit designs and bit suppliers has brought the operator to conduct the first trial in Indonesia utilizing a one inch PDC cutter drill bit.\u0000 Besides the effort to increase well economics by increasing ROP using various bit designs through MAXIDRILL Campaign, PHM also tries to implement new set of well architecture dedicated specifically for developing the shallow hydrocarbon zone in Mahakam in general, and in Tunu Field in particular. With this new type of architecture, it allows drilling with 9-1/2″ hole to be done straight from 20″ Conductor Pipe down to well final target depth in single phase, where next 3-1/2″ production tubing will be run and cemented in place. The new design of architecture is called \"One Phase Well\". This novel innovation was initiated in 2019, where to date, the operator has drilled more than 30 wells without any incident.\u0000 With the learning curve that has turned into industrialization steps. More and more shorter well duration is born with these two initiatives, MAXIDRILL and One Phase Well. Ultimately, with the spirit of these two initiatives for bringing down well duration in gain for much better well economics has successfully set a two record breaking performance in Mahakam: 1) Being the fastest On Bottom ROP and 2) Being the fastest well ever delivered in Mahakam and Indonesia which is under two days.","PeriodicalId":11011,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Thu, March 24, 2022","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82471230","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}
