However, since many shallow water locations can experience harsh conditions and may require moorings for station-keeping performance, it is beneficial to enable a DP rig to quickly disconnect from its mooring system and avoid hazardous conditions without support vessel assistance. Providing this capability, acoustically releasable subsea mooring connectors allow a rig's mooring lines to be released remotely and almost immediately. Additionally, the ability to disconnect without Anchor Handler Vessel (AHV) assistance for mooring operations and rig transit support offers reduced risk and cost savings.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 A brief review of existing quick-disconnect mooring devices will be presented. It will highlight how the technology has evolved and is being used, particularly in recent years. Successes, problems, and lessons learned from past InterMoor and SRP product development will be summarized and focused attention will be given to a significant number of more recent improvements to increase the product's reliability, availability, serviceability, and robustness. Improvements to ensure reliable long-term battery life and power supply, enhance on-vessel accessibility and user-friendliness for rig personnel, and employ advanced acoustic signal transmission, reception, and device status analytics will be discussed. External modifications to reinforce its robustness during deployment and internal electromechanical changes to facilitate its serviceability will also be described.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 A substantially lighter and smaller acoustically releasable mooring connector was developed two years ago, tested thereafter, recently deployed on several offshore mooring campaigns, and has now been upgraded to incorporate high-fidelity electronics with the ability to release under tension loads as high as 900 tonnes. As such, this second-generation device's reliability, accessibility, and serviceability are significantly enhanced. Results from offshore deployments from recent MODU and barge mooring operations will be summarized. This technology provides a safer way to quickly disconnect mooring lines and offers cost efficiency by allowing faster rig moves from one location to the next with reduced risk.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The paper will cover the work, challenges, trials, and tribulations required to bring a new product to market with cutting edge capabilities.

A total of 26 wells have been drilled in the field, of which 11 are presently on production. Oil production peaked at 8,900 stock-tank barrels per day shortly after field start-up and has been on the decline. More than 40 years since production start-up, the Beta Field remains a relatively immature, distinctly underdeveloped asset. Only about 59 million stock tank barrel (STB), or 8% of its estimated stock-tank oil initially in place of 740 million STB, had been produced by the end of 2017. Two horizontal wells were planned in the field to provide additional drainage points and increase field production. However, a production forecast of the planned wells showed potential early water breakthrough and high water cut because of unfavorable mobility ratios of a slightly viscous oil and proximity to oil/water contact (OWC). To mitigate the production challenges and improve the reservoir sweep, autonomous inflow control devices (AICDs) were selected to be installed on the sandface completion.\u0000 These wells were drilled and completed during the COVID-19 pandemic, bringing additional challenges in equipment availability and logistics with potential to derail the successful completion of these wells within the required timeline. An innovative retrofit screen design, leveraging detailed engineering design and remote collaboration, enabled the conversion of ICD sand control screens to cyclonic AICD screens.\u0000 AICD nozzle placement was optimized using a reservoir-centric workflow that integrates the full reservoir model with the sandface completion. Real-time interpretation of the data enabled computation of porosity-permeability and saturation estimates from logging-while-drilling (LWD) logs, which was then used in updating the reservoir model in near-real time. Using a segmented well modeling approach and a refined flow distribution from heel to toe, AICD nozzle placement was optimized in real time utilizing LWD measurements from open hole along the horizontal drain, aiding the design and configuration of the AICDs.\u0000 The Beta-7 and Beta-8 wells were successfully drilled, completed, and put on production. The horizontal drains were landed within 5 to 10 feet of the top of the reservoir, maintaining at least 20-ft distance from the OWC. The forecasted simulation showed possible water influx from the toe of the horizontal as opposed to the heel because of existing water leg and high permeability at the toe. This was supported by high water-cut production from that zone in the nearby wells. This insight from the full-field simulation model enabled an informed decision on the AICD design.","PeriodicalId":11184,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 18, 2021","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88160125","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}

By design, slack cargo tanks are almost always present in FPSOs due to continuous loading and offloading operations; however, the presence of slack cargo impacts the seakeeping stability abilities of FPSOs. There are limited published experimental data on coupled sloshing with seakeeping of stationary vessels, and existing studies on this have focused on single row cargo tanks which is seldom the case in FPSOs. The aim of this paper is to study roll motion coupled with sloshing in partially-filled pair of two-row tanks of a stationary FPSO model exposed to regular beam waves. The model tests was performed in the Davidson Laboratory towing tank at Stevens Institute of Technology. The FPSO model response in roll was measured, and the time histories of sloshing oscillation were measured on the starboard and port side of one of the stern cargo tanks. The results show that varying internal cargo sloshing leads to unpredictable motion response of floating vessels that should be accounted for in the design and offloading operations of FPSO.","PeriodicalId":11184,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 18, 2021","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85258213","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}

VIT strings are used in deepwater wells for flow assurance or to mitigate annular pressure buildup. VIT use requires accurate knowledge of its insulating performance. Although VIT performance can be estimated from analytical tools, such as finite element analysis (FEA), an experimental approach provides a more direct measurement and can be used to validate analytical tools. We have developed a new experimental method to address this need.\u0000 In this method, one or two VIT joints are placed in an ice-water bath. A precisely measured flow of heated air flows inside the VIT. The temperature change of the flowing air is measured between the inlet and outlet of the VIT test specimen. The insulating performance of the VIT is then calculated from this temperature difference using heat exchanger theory with effectiveness-number of transfer units (&#ξ03B5;-NTU) approach. A proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller is used to control the air temperature at the VIT inlet by regulating power to the heater.\u0000 This paper illustrates the data reduction method and uncertainty analysis using sample test data. The method allows for rapid measurement of VIT performance at many different temperatures, with the air flow rate being used to optimize the test sensitivity and to reduce experimental uncertainty. As currently designed, the apparatus is able to test single- and double-joint VITs with effective body conductivities between 0.002-0.1 W/m/°C (0.001-0.06 Btu/hr/ft/°F) and temperatures up to 400°C (750°F); however, the design allows the apparatus to be modified easily for higher or lower conductivities.\u0000 Although designed for VIT, this method may be applied to other types of tubulars. Currently, there is no widely accepted standard method for experimental testing of VIT performance, and it is hoped that this new method may evolve to an industry standard.","PeriodicalId":11184,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 18, 2021","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89137986","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}

However, shallow water operations themselves pose a certain unique set of challenges that need to be addressed with customized and innovative solutions. While shallow water poses certain benefits and conveniences to the operations, like ease of retrieval and better access to wells, there are significant challenges in terms of operational down time caused by limited operability and poor drilling riser and subsea hardware fatigue performance.\u0000 Shallow water operations do not have the advantage of deep water drilling where the motions and loads imparted to the subsea blowout preventer (BOP) are relatively decoupled and damped out by hydrodynamic damping from the significant length of the water column. Thus, the vessel motions and wave hydrodynamic loads imparted on the riser are transferred to the wellhead and subsea hardware. In this paper the fatigue challenges encountered for drilling wells in 530 ft water depth from a sixth generation moored semi-submersible rig are explored. The fatigue loading is critical for the subsea tree connector which is characterized by a high stress amplification factor (SAF). Multiple riser space-out solutions were evaluated including fairings, helically-grooved buoyancy, joints with rope, and modifications to the telescopic joint each of which will be presented in the paper along with combination of different damping parameters to optimize the fatigue performance.\u0000 The paper will present the subsea tree connector fatigue performance for different riser space-out options and make recommendations for future operations with similar conditions. Other challenges encountered in fatigue evaluation will be discussed.

This paper addresses the hydrate management strategy in one of the subsea developments in the Gulf of Mexico (GOM). The effects of salinity, water cut, and amount of methanol on hydrate formation and plugging risk were studied in this paper. The experimental results and modeling in advanced thermodynamics software showed that an increase in the concentration of methanol and salts in the autoclave cell leads to a shift of the equilibrium curves, reducing subcooling and hydrate volume fraction while increasing induction time. The results also show that for some under-inhibited systems, the volume fraction of the hydrate slurry is low enough to allow for safe transportation of fluids during various operational conditions.","PeriodicalId":11184,"journal":{"name":"Day 3 Wed, August 18, 2021","volume":"56 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74218807","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}

A number of smaller pilot projects exist in the floating offshore wind area consisting of single prototype floating towers to demonstrate a design concept, but these are providing power back to shore.

Electrification of floating host facilities eliminates or reduces the requirement for local power generation via turbine generators at the host facility, decreasing operational expenditure and total emissions from the facility.
