These ongoing challenges and uncertainties with the fluctuating oil prices and increasing regulatory and safety requirements, have prompted oil and gas companies to explore ways to improve efficiency and productivity through standardization. Many of the offshore projects were analyzed before the launch of Unified Bulk Joint Industry Project (UBJIP) which has evolved in various phases. The main objective of the paper is to discuss the standard specification of Electrical and Instrument(E&I) components, Piping and Structure material. It is essential to state a defined significant purpose and benefit of the standardization work and assure that the actual efforts contribute to the overall savings.\u0000 This paper focuses on the common specification in compliance with a cross-industry specification and includes details of the planning and execution of on-going standardization program. When standardizing, there are several considerations. The selection of bulk material is based on high-volume value and quality aspects which have significant impact when prioritizing among the components. The methodology adopted to develop the standard specifications of bulk items (for Electrical & Instrumentation, Piping and Structure) is identified by performing the gap analysis among local regulations, industry standards and major offshore project specifications. The developed standard specifications are based on evaluation and verification with prototype risk and business case studies.\u0000 The findings of this paper cover the new standardization specification for cable glands, cable terminations and penetrations, pipe supports, flange management systems and outfitting. In some cases, the lack of international standards and codes in some areas was identified where the gaps were filled with the new UBJIP standard specifications. The significance and benefit criteria for standardization focuses on cost, weight, construction efficiency, compatibility, safety requirements and operational maintenance.\u0000 The novel aspects of this paper address the challenges posed in design, materials, and procedures to meet a cross-industry specification, i.e. UBJIP IOSS (Integrated Offshore Standard Specification, soon to be incorporated into an ISO/IEC specification). The future steps and roadmap towards global standards are covered in this paper.","PeriodicalId":214691,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, May 09, 2019","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127037243","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}

Ganapathy, K. Gebreselassie, D. Pan, G. Panda, A. Ganpatye","doi":"10.4043/29378-MS","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4043/29378-MS","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 In this study, carbon steel corrosion was evaluated in salt water solutions using the newly developed non-destructive electrical method which can be easily adopted in the field for real-time monitoring and the results were compared to some standard test methods such as weight loss, corrosion rate and potential difference. The average weight loss in 10% salt solution (accelerated corrosion and also representing the hydraulic fracking fluids) in one year was 1.05% and corrosion rate was 1.54 mm/year, using the ASTM G1 method. Vipulanandan correlation model was used to represent the weight loss versus time relationship. The potential difference between the corroding steel and standard calomel electrode in 1M salt solution reduced from -0.680 V to -0.791 V in two years, a 15% total change. The use of the new nondestructive electrical method was to detect and quantify the surface and bulk corrosion in the field. Tests were performed to first verify the best electrical property that will be highly sensitive and represent the steel corrosion. The findings from this study indicated changes in the newly developed electrical corrosion index for the surface (2D representation) and the resistivity (second order tensor, 3D representation) for the bulk material using the Vipulanandan Impedance Corrosion Model. Corrosion development in 30 inches long steel specimens were studied in the 3.5% salt solution (simulating sea water) for 500 days. The changes in the specimens were monitored at regular intervals using the new two probe method and measuring the impedance-frequency relationship using alternative current up to a frequency of 300 kHz. The surface corrosion was quantified using the new electrical corrosion index parameter, which changed from point to point on the surface of the corroding steel and the change was over 200%. The change in the bulk resistivity along the length of the steel specimen was over 40,000 times (4,000,000%) in 3.5% salt solution compared to the weight loss and reduction in the potential difference. Hence the electrical resistivity for the bulk material and the new corrosion index for the surface corrosion are highly sensing parameters for detecting and quantify the corrosion in the steel.","PeriodicalId":214691,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, May 09, 2019","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131044684","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}

Verdant Power is advancing the Marine Renewable Energy (MRE) industry towards commercial tidal energy and MW-scale array projects through the development of a scalable mount that integrates life-cycle operation and maintenance (O&M) with an environmentally compatible and scalable turbine. The Verdant Power Kinetic Hydropower System (KHPS) is a 5th generation water-to-wire MRE system that utilizes horizontal-axis turbines installed in fast-moving tidal and river currents to generate renewable energy. The Verdant Power TriFrame™ (TF) mount is a triangular frame mount that supports three KHPS turbines. Verdant will demonstrate this system at the 5m-rotor diameter scale at its Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)-licensed Roosevelt Island Tidal Energy (RITE) Project in New York City's East River, a highly accessible and well-characterized tidal site.\u0000 The technical development of the TF mount is based on an iterated and integrated design and risk management process, all geared to the evolving suite of International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) marine energy standards and which includes third-party verification of key performance measures. This paper presents an overview of the integrated design process related to innovative mounting systems for tidal energy converters (TECs) that shows potential to reduce capital and operating costs through improved performance, reliability, and maintainability.\u0000 With support from the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA), Verdant is conducting an Integrated Design Process (IDP) to develop, build, install, and operate a TF mounting structure supporting three Verdant Power Generation 5 (Gen5) KHPS turbines at the RITE Project. This full-scale, open-water project also includes a demonstration of a periodic O&M cycle. Along with technical performance monitoring, capital and operational cost data will also be compiled. The IDP integrates the capital mount design with the procedures and costs of the associated on-water work (OWW) operations (deployment, installation, retrieval, replacement). The IDP utilizes a risk analysis and management framework for the key components and requires close coordination with partner structural engineers, marine contractors, as well as the system supply chain for fabrication, assembly, and deployment facilities. Numerical modeling tools, component testing, and a failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) are utilized, following the guidance outlined in International Standards and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Risk Management Framework. The entire process is iterated, with updated feedback from all participants, resulting in an optimized design that addresses project metrics and risk mitigation.\u0000 Using IDP, a TEC mounting system design has been achieved that ","PeriodicalId":214691,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, May 09, 2019","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132949927","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}

Through collaboration on solving common problems, the MRE community has the potential to reduce cost and accelerate technology development. Currently, the US Department of Energy (US DOE) Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) is addressing the challenge of storing, curating, and accessing MRE information by sponsoring development of MRE databases and information portals such as Tethys (https://tethys.pnnl.gov), OpenEI (https://openei.org), the MHK Data Repository (MHKDR, https://mhkdr.openei.org/), and a searchable MRE code catalog and open source code repository (MHKiT, currently under development), to name a few. These sites host scientific papers, news articles, reports, databases, open source codes, and stakeholder engagement information, but they are only a step towards facilitating global discovery and use. In short, there is an abundance of information available online, however it is located on many disparate sites and repositories that make the discovery of those data and information difficult.\u0000 A DOE national laboratory team from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), and Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) is addressing the issues of data discoverability, shared knowledge, and interconnection of existing MRE databases and information portals. To meet the needs of the MRE community, as identified through multiple community outreach and engagement events, and described in this paper, the multi-lab team has developed an implementation plan for PRIMRE, the Portal and Repository for Information on Marine Renewable Energy. PRIMRE will provide broad access to information on engineering and technologies, resource characterization, device performance, and environmental effects of MRE projects. PRIMRE will facilitate the commercial development of the MRE industry by increasing the accessibility and discoverability of this information, integrating the databases and information portals described in this paper, and developing standards and guidelines. Providing consistent, easy access to information can help reduce duplication of effort and enable the MRE community to learn from past failures and build upon the successes of others to innovate and advance the commercialization of MRE technologies.","PeriodicalId":214691,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, May 09, 2019","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121204620","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}

This paper showcases how one operator and supplier achieved a 12-month subsea tree delivery while minimizing cost through standardization.\u0000 Legacy project execution models make a 12-month subsea tree delivery unachievable while driving up costs through extended alignment phases, large project teams, and procurement of project-specific components. Achieving prealignment through robust documentation, technical workshops, and a unique approach to assessing risk of perceived gaps between organizations has proven successful in the execution of an offshore project in the Caspian Sea and clearly highlights the benefits of standardization.\u0000 An enhanced industry-standard offering leads to both competitive and sustainable advantages, ensuring marginal fields are economically viable. The objective of a standard system offering is delivering a subsea production system at maximum capital efficiency and minimal lead time to optimize operators' return on investment while driving industry-leading safety, peak reliability and uptime, and superior quality.

Examples are given showing how three-dimensional (3D) engineering ground models and real-time data analysis have been utilized by integrated project teams to maximize efficiencies, achieve cost and program savings, and reduce risk.\u0000 In general, the aim of a site investigation should be to ensure that: Sufficient ground data is obtained for design, certification, and construction;Data collected is fit for purpose and fully integrated; andA comprehensive interpretation can be carried out with consideration of engineering design and construction requirements.\u0000 In the authors’ experience, offshore site investigations are most effective when a ‘geoteam’ (an integrated team of ground specialists including geologists, geotechnical engineers, geophysicists, and others) is assembled at an early stage in the project and carries out early optioneering studies followed by scoping, supervision, and interpretation of a phased site investigation program. Crucially, the geoteam must be able to read and communicate the ground from a designer's perspective and appreciate the Client's constraints and requirements. If they do this effectively, the geoteam will be able to scope a more efficient, targeted site investigation, and provide almost live updates to the engineering ground model. The model can in turn be used to inform real-time decisions being made by the developer, their offshore site investigation representative (Client Representative), and the wind farm's designer.\u0000 Consideration of the 3D ground conditions is paramount and should always be combined with an appreciation of the site's geological history and earth surface processes to assess how geological variability and ground hazards may affect design. This will provide strong justification for the scope of site investigation works.\u0000 While the UK and European wind farm market is maturing, with the first offshore wind farm in the UK constructed in the year 2000, the US market is currently in a period of rapid early development.

Funding for these studies has come primarily from the U.S. Department of Energy (NETL), but also from the State of Texas General Land Office, which administers the State offshore resources. A recent award-winning publication (BEG Report of Investigations No. 283) compiles the diverse topics explored during this long history of characterization: Geological CO2 Sequestration Atlas for Miocene Strata Offshore Texas State Waters. This is the first attempt to comprehensively address CO2 storage topics for the near offshore in the Gulf Coast. Topics addressed in the volume include Miocene stratigraphy and depositional systems with regional cross sections, implications of petroleum systems for CO2 storage, microscopic and stratigraphic evaluation of anticipated primary seals, regional static capacity estimates, and field-scale examples of storage reservoirs (including modelling and simulation). Detailed stratigraphic and structural interpretation of hundreds of wells and faults using integrated 3D seismic data is now continuous over an area greater than 5,000 square kilometres (2,000 square miles). In three localities a total of 137 square kilometres (53 square miles) of novel high-resolution 3D seismic data has been acquired to understand technological capabilities for imaging the overburden above injection reservoirs, and to address characterization, risk reduction, and monitoring needs. General conclusions from this work are that the inner shelf of the Gulf of Mexico presents superb geology for CCS with ample storage capacity. Sources and developing pipeline infrastructure are well located for development of offshore storage hubs. The thick and relatively young and porous clastic Miocene stratigraphy has multiple regional confining intervals deposited during regional sea level transgressions. Static CO2 storage capacity estimates beneath the Texas State waters between Mexico and Louisiana total more than 30 Gt, including both depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs and saline intervals. More regional assessments identify approximately 125 Gt of storage. This offshore geologic CO2 storage resource is regionally and nationally significant, is available for both CO2 sequestration and enhanced oil recovery (EOR), and is likely to be the most appropriate region for giga-tonne scale storage in the United States.","PeriodicalId":214691,"journal":{"name":"Day 4 Thu, May 09, 2019","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115813781","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 trials are less frequent due to the complexity of operations and also because of the limited availability of suitable chemicals adapted to sea water. For using classic anionic surfactants offshore, pretreatment of the water for reducing salinity or the use of alkali are required. In either case an additional unit has to be added to the platform, raising the price of oil production. The structure of the surfactant can be modified for sea water, using ethylene/propylene/butylene and their derivatives to prepare surfactants that are branched and sometimes extended. However sourcing can be an issue due to limitations on production sites. Internal Ketone Sulfonates (IKS) are new bio-sourced surfactants particularly suitable for chemical EOR in sea water. They are a good alternative to petro-derived chemicals with improved raw material availability and carbon footprint. Solubility is proved for TDS higher than 48g/L TDS in synthetic sea water. Phase behavior and low interfacial tensions were evaluated with classical Winsor analysis. Interfacial tension of 3.5*10−4 mN/m between the IKS formulation and dodecane was reached at the optimal salinity of 31 g/L TDS (R+=0.13) for a temperature of 60°C.
