Welcome to UTC 2010
BERGEN
NORWAY
The theme for this year’s conference; “Beyond limits! – The building blocks for subsea
developments” the programme committee has seek to put focus on New Subsea
Developments - challenges and possibilities – Increased Recovery, extended life of
field and lesson learned. By this, there will
possibilities to look ahead into the future at
the same time as we dealing with to day’s
problems and challenges. This approach by
looking both into the future but without loosing the sight on current situation has been a
goal for the UTC in the last years, not for the
reason that we do not deer to be innovative
but mainly for the reason that without today’s
history there will be no future.
This year we are pleased be able to present at number of high levelled international
key note speakers that should give valuable
information and knowhow to the partici-
pants. Further we introduce a Crash Course
that will be held by Society of Underwater
Technology – SUT – in cooperation with
NCESubsea and hosted by Sparebanke
Vest. The course aims at personnel within
finance, investors, CEOs etc. who not daily
are working within the subsea industry, but
are interested to know more. By this we
hope that we may promote the opportunities
which are within the subsea industries.
Also the content and performance of the
exhibition has been further developed hoping
that a broader range of visitors will attend.

region a strong subsea cluster.
CHAIRMAN’S COMMENTS
City of Culture
Technology is tre than six billion people on the globe.
Technology is the key to the exploration for energy, the production of energy and the security of supply. We are still living in
the age of hydrocarbons and we are not ready to leave yet.
Oil, gas and coal will for many years to come provide the daily
energy supply to the more than six billion people on the globe.
I am looking forward to being the Chairman of The Underwater
Technology Conference. I have been working closely with the
industry for 40 years as a journalist, author and adviser. What I
have observed in particular over these years is the move from
visible to invisible technology in offshore operations.
As both population and the demand for energy continue to
grow, we face serious challenges to balance the use of fossil
fuels with the global environment and climate. Technology is
the key to overcoming the climate crisis.
I believe that the industry has to find oil and gas where those
resources can be found. Underwater technology will give access to sources with significant volumes of energy.
Prominent in Bergen’s varied and innovative cultural environment
are music, film, contemporary theatre and dance and various fine
arts. In the spring the city hosts the Bergen International Festival:
“Festspillene”, Bergenfest and Nattjazz.
City of the Future
Over the last few decades, the research and development
environment in the Bergen region, along with local suppliers, has
built up and developed world-leading expertise within the subsea
area. This environment, a true region of excellence, will undoubtedly play an important role in the future development of new
technologies and solutions on the international subsea market.
This provides an excellent basis for further development and value
creation.
Many interesting issues will be highlighted at this year’s
conference, and I am certain that the presentation will give you
fresh inspiration and new drive. I wish you all a heartfelt welcome
to Bergen, the region of excellence, and I hope you will have a
successful and informative stay at the Underwater Technology
Conference.
Bergen has a vibrant research and development environment, and
with more than 30,000 students, Bergen is one of the most popular
cities for students in Scandinavia.

Does it matter whether your bank is familiar
with doing business in Western Norway?
Aren’t all banks pretty much the same,
and don’t they offer almost identical
services?
We believe that there are some important
differences. Like the fact that we have
business advisers who really know your
industry at all of our 61 branches in
Hordaland, Rogaland and Sogn og
Fjordane. Our local advisers want to play
an active role in the development of the
12,000 companies that have chosen to
create added value with our help.
That includes highlighting future business
opportunities through industry initiatives,
network events and professional
conferences. What makes Sparebanken
Vest stand out is our desire to promote
the growth and development of the
communities and businesses of Western
Norway. Our focus is regional, not
international, which allows us to keep a
close eye on all important decisions that
are made.
In short, we’re locals. And that does
make a difference.

Room: Peer Gynt Hall
Ormen Lange tree on wire
Sigbjørn Madsen, Senior Subsea Engineer, Shell
When the Shell Ormen Lange well delivery team was challenged to improve the well delivery schedule several ideas
were identified, which were then lifted into a Technical Limit
Staircase based on their schedule impact. Running x-mas
trees offline on wire from an intervention vessel was highlighted at this stage. A search on deployment methods previously used globally and the expected operating conditions
in Ormen Lange revealed that it was possible to proceed
with the project. The installation of four horizontal subsea
x-mas trees was successfully completed in April 2009. A
reduction in installation cost of more than $4 million per tree
was realised Additionally, the drill ship was able to remain
focused on its primary activity of drilling and completing
Ormen Lange wells, adding further benefit to the drilling
schedule. This presentation will cover the planning process
of selecting and qualifying the tree installation method, and
the required work scope to complete the installation.
Subsea well intervention; Learning from the
past – planning for the future
Kristian Sirevaag, Manager Well Intervention, Statoil
Over many years Statoil has focused on increasing
hydrocarbon recovery factors from their reservoirs. The
company has a stated ambition of achieving an average
55% recovery factor from subsea wells. Considering that
the majority of the company’s oil production originates from
subsea wells, it is clear that this is a major strategic area
for development. Continuous technology development has
been is delivering more safe, efficient and cost-effective
well intervention operations in subsea wells. During 2009
new technology has been adopted for the first time, consisting of a fit-for-purpose LRP (Lower Riser Package), highpressure riser and near-surface BOP system operating from
the Stena Don semi-submersible unit. This unique system
enables, for the first time, coiled-tubing and TTRD (Through
Tubing Rotary Drilling) operations on subsea wells with
the same riser and well control system. The presentation
will review some history relating to increasing reserves
recovery from subsea wells. Activities from light to medium
well intervention operations will be discussed with a focus
on the technical and operational experiences. A review
of the 2009 activities will be provided – including several
coiled-tubing and TTRD operations from Stena Don. The
presentation will also provide a look ahead to further plans
for improvement and optimisation in this area.
Subsea well service vessels
Erik Norbom, Technology Director, Aker Oilfield Services
Currently the only means of performing evaluation and
maintenance on subsea wells in deep waters has been to
utilise expensive drilling rigs, as a platform for well
intervention. Light well intervention vessels have been
introduced to the market, but so far no operations have
been performed in waters deeper than 400 metres. Aker
Oilfield Services technology and operational methodology
will extend the operational depth of light well intervention
form monohull vessels up to 2500 metres.
This presentation will cover the vessel layout, operational
sequence, operational limits and down-hole services which
will be available for operations in deep water from the Aker
Oilfield Services monohull vessels in 2010.

Valves: The good, the bad and the ugly
– Real-life cases
Manned underwater intervention during
deep-water operations
Jonas Åkerlund, Senior Engineer, DNV
Valves are basic building blocks in any production system.
Though these are well-known components, a large number
of failures are recorded during both qualification and
operation. A wide variety of failure modes for different
valves exist, such as leakage, jamming, structural body
failure, actuator failure, etc. These causes can include
surface damage, thermal expansion/distortion, erosion
and design flaws. The purpose of this presentation is to
show how the multidisciplinary approach of using software
tools in conjunction with classical methods can be used to
determine causes of failure of valves used in the offshore
industry. It will also aim to provide awareness of some
failure modes and mechanisms that are usually not covered
in valve qualification programs. The presentation will cover
a few real-life case studies of valve failure.
Mikal Sjur Lothe, Diving Manager, Technip
The focus for operations in deep and remote areas operations is remotely operated systems. Manned intervention is
generally first choice when looking for intervention methods
in most areas of the world. As an industry we need to focus
on the most cost-effective and safe method for construction,
maintenance and repair. This presentation highlights
advances in diving methods related to surface-oriented and
saturation diving, such as shallow water tie-ins of risers and
umbilicals, inspection and evaluations of FPSOs including
thruster change-out and wet docking. The options for
efficient repair scenarios utilising the human ability to work
in low-visibility areas by feel etc. will also be discussed.
Finally the presentation will show new technology in saturation diving based on the 24-man saturation systems onboard the third-generation Divex systems used by Technip
and Subsea 7.
En-Tegrity – Advanced subsea well control
technology
Jeff Edwards, Director, Enovate
A presentation of the Shear Seal Valve: En-Tegrity, an
advanced subsea well control technology. With the growing
complexity of well intervention operations such as zone
isolations, chemical treatment, sand removal and side track
re-completion drilling, there is an increasing demand for
an efficient light well intervention service equipment. This
paper details the design, development and qualification
programme undertaken to introduce a new technology for
well intervention operations. The Shear Seal Valve provides
dual barrier sealing integrity that is capable of cutting largediameter coiled tubing, drill pipe and intervention tooling
within a single compact housing. The hydraulic design of
the valve minimises operating volumes and negates the
requirement for mechanical ram locks therefore greatly
simplifying control system complexity. Utilising dual metalto-metal sealing technology and a fail-safe close rationale,
the system is ideally suited to HPHT applications providing
optimum operational integrity.

MARINE OPERATIONS
Session leader: Per Moi, Subsea 7
Room: Klokkeklang
Deep-water subsea lifting operations
Arne Nestegård, Ph.D. - Chief Specialist, DNV
There are significant costs are involved in marine operations in the installation phase of deepwater subsea field
developments. In order to establish safe operational criteria
and procedures for the installation, detailed planning is
necessary, including numerical modelling and analysis of
the environmental conditions and hydrodynamic loads on
the installed object as well as the installation equipment.
This paper presents recommendations for modelling and
analysis of deepwater subsea lifting operations developed
for the new DNV RP-H103 [1]. During installation of subsea
structures, the highest dynamic forces are most often
encountered in the splash zone. Recommendations for
estimation of maximum forces will be presented. For small
structures and tools, installation through the moonpool of
a small installation vessel is often preferred. Calculation
methods for loading on structures installed through a moonpool will be presented. During intervention or installation
in deep water a significant amplification of amplitude and
forces can be experienced when the frequency range of
vertical crane tip motion coincides with the natural vertical
oscillation of the lift wire and load. Vertical resonance may
reduce the operability of the operation. Simplified calculation methods for such operations are presented.
Combining Time Domain Analysis and CFD for
subsea lifts
Tor-Bjørn Idsøe Næss, Senior Project Engineer, Acergy
The traditional method for analysing subsea lifts is based
on a number of simplifications which can result in a conservative estimate of peak loads and very low installation
seastates. As structures become increasingly larger and
more complex, more advanced methods of structure installation analysis are required to ensure safe and efficient
installation and full utilisation of vessel capacity.
The presentation will give an overview of how subsea lifts
can be analysed in the time domain and how in combination with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the lifting
operation can be significantly optimised. CFD is first used
to estimate the hydrodynamic coefficients of the lifted object
by applying forced harmonic oscillations in the software
Ansys CFX. The obtained coefficients are subsequently
used as input to the time domain analysis performed with
the software SIMO (Simulation of Marine Operations). The
complete lifting operation from lift off from deck, lowering
through the splash zone and down to landing at the sea
bottom can be simulated. Reference will be made to the
new DNV Recommended Practice for Modelling and Analysis of Marine Operations, DNV-RP-H103.
Hywind floating wind turbine project
Harald Vandbakk, Project Manager Facilities, Technip
The Hywind floating wind turbine concept was developed
by StatoilHydro. Technip was awarded the contract for
engineering, fabrication and installation of a demonstration unit in May 2008 and the completed wind turbine was
installed mid in June 2009 off the west coast of Norway a
depth of 220 m. The demonstration unit will generate 2.3
MW and is equipped with instrumentation for monitoring
mooring forces, strains and motions. The fabrication of the
SPAR type steel substructure was performed at Technip
Offshore Finland facilities in Pori, and it was then towed in
a horizontal position from Finland to Norway, where it was
erected by water filling. The completed floating wind turbine
was towed in a vertical position to the final location west of
Karmøy and connected to the pre-installed three-legged
anchor system using an Anchor Handling Tug type vessel.
The wind turbine test period was scheduled to start in
September 2009. Statoil will monitor the performance of the
system for two years before taking any further decision for
further development. The paper will present the main challenges and lessons learned through design, fabrication and
installation of this structure, the first of its kind. The main
emphasis will be on the special challenges experienced for
this floating, catenary moored, slender unit that is highly
exposed to wind-induced forces in addition to current and
waves in hostile North Sea environments.
Ormen Lange Hot Tap – a world record
Kjell Edvard Apeland, Principal Engineer, Statoil
For the last ten years Statoil has been developing a new
concept for performing remotely controlled subsea Hot Tap
operations. The system was first used offshore in 2008
during a partly diver assisted operation, connecting the
Tampen Link pipeline to the Statfjord Intrafield pipeline. In
July 2009, the Hot Tap System successfully performed two
remotely controlled Hot Taps, at a world-record depth of
860 metres on the Ormen Lange field operated by Shell.
The Hot Tap technology enables existing pipeline architecture to be modified, without interfering with the current production. Most of the technology is depth-independent and
the system is currently qualified to a depth of 1000 metres.
Phase II of this project, which involves the development
and construction of a retrofit Tee, thus enabling installation
and welding of a Tee on an unprepared pipeline is well
underway. This presentation will describe experiences from
the development of the Remote Hot Tap system and give
an overview of the offshore operations leading to the
conclusion of the world’s deepest Hot Taps.

SUBSEA PROCESSING
Session leader: Nils Vågen,
Framo Engineering AS
is ensured by its ability to accommodate a large variety of
input flowrates and unsteady regimes. In its continuous
effort to provide reliable and proven process solutions to the
market, Saipem has undertaken a qualification programme
involving model testing in multiphase conditions designed to
characterise and demonstrate the system’s versatility and
separation performance.
Hybrid pump for Pazflor deepwater
development
Pierre-Jean Bibet, Senior MPP Specialist, Total
Subsea processing gives engineers permanent technical challenges due to the comprehensive specifications
which often stretch the proven limits of technology. This is
particularly true for pumps that have to boost a multiphase
effluent, because they must, often at the same time, be
able to tolerate free gas, be able to handle very viscous
fluids, generate a high rP, and be efficient. The Pazflor
project decided to base its development on full utilization of
subsea pumps. This paper presents the state of the art of
the pumps that are designed to be installed on the sea floor.
It further describes why existing technology could not match
the technical requirements for the Pazflor project. Finally it
presents the pump specifically developed for this world-first
full field’s development application, the so-called “Hybrid
Pump”, with the description of the associated qualification
programme and results.
Oil free and high speed motor for compressor
drive
Alain Gelin, Rotating Equipment, Senior Engineer, Total
The paper describes the current integrated motor
centrifugal compressor technologies including their limitations with respect to the dry gas and upstream applications.
The electrical motor challenges such as the cooling system
with the process gas and the insulation will be overviewed,
as well as the magnetic bearing technology used to support
both motor and compressor rotors.
The integrated and sealless motor compressor concept is
under development for subsea applications such as the
Åsgard and Ormen Lange Projects, and strong qualification programmes have been put in place to validate the
solutions.The main vendors of centrifugal compressors
(Man-Turbo, Siemens, GE Oil&Gas, and Dresser-Rand)
are developing different concepts to cover not only subsea
but also the more general surface and upstream applications. This technology appears very attractive due to its
simplicity and compactness for offshore applications (no
gearbox, no lubrication oil system, and no dry gas seal and
associated seal gas panel, lower weight and footprint and
no emission).Even if it is found that the technology requires
further improvements and qualification programmes, integrated high-speed sealless motor centrifugal compressors
are undoubtedly promised a rapid expansion in the future,
including use with untreated gas for upstream applications.
Tyrihans subsea raw seawater Injection –
project experiences
Room: Foyer Peer Gynt
The world’s first subsea compressor
Hege C. Lindqvist, Technical System Lead Gullfaks 2030,
Statoil
The Gullfaks South field is a subsea satellite field tied
back to the Gullfaks A and C platforms. Statoil has through
extensive study work demonstrated that an installation of a
subsea compressor in 2013 for compression of the rich gas
from the Gullfaks South Brent reservoir (L & M template
locations) can extend the full gasrate capacity beyond
2013. The total increase in recovery from this reservoir is
estimated to be 3 GSm3 of gas. Statoil is currently evaluating several possible solutions for increased recovery from
the subsea wells and the subsea compression solution is
competing with a topside compressor solution which will be
further developed in the year to come. In May 2009, Statoil
entered into a two-year technology qualification contract
with Framo Engineering for the engineering, manufacturing
and testing of a full-scale subsea gas boosting system. This
compressor will be tested with hydrocarbons to prove that it
meets the hydraulic capacity needed for Gullfaks.
Qualification of a novel deepwater gas/liquid
separator
Stéphanie Abrand, Subsea Process Project Eng., Saipem
The implementation of subsea boosting and processing
systems is becoming a common development scheme for
the development of deep and ultra-deep water fields. These
subsea processing systems shall address the mechanical and functional constraints that are imposed by the
deepwater installation and operation along with the obvious
reliability requirements. Saipem has developed a deepwater
gas separation and liquid boosting system that encompasses a good flexibility in handling a wide range of steady
and unsteady multiphase input streams and a relatively
simple mechanical arrangement. The system is composed
of an array of vertical pipes that contribute by providing
the required separation and liquid hold-up volumes. The
reduced diameter and wall thickness of the vertical pipes,
as compared with the equivalent single separation vessel,
is particularly suited to deep- and ultra-deep-water applications and/or high-pressure services. Furthermore, the
system relies on gravity separation, the efficiency of which
Nils Petter Time, Project Engineer Subsea Systems, Statoil
By the summer of 2010, Statoil will have installed and commissioned a 2 x 2.5 MW electrical
subsea pump system for the injection of seawater on the Tyrihans
field. Powered from the Kristin
platform, the system will pump
untreated water directly from the
sea into one well at a rate of 14.000
m3/day to achieve an Increased Oil
Recovery of 10%. The pump system was designed and delivered by
Aker Solutions and interfaces with
the Tyrihans subsea production
system delivered by FMC, a power
umbilical from Nexans as well as
the Kristin topside facilities.
In addition to qualification testing,
the SRSWI system underwent
extensive system testing, including
performance and long-term testing,
and function testing of the control
system from FMC and Kongsberg
Maritime. The subsea modules of
the SRSWI system and the power
umbilical were installed by Acergy’s
vessel Scandi Acergy, while the
topside transformers and variable
speed drives were installed on Kristin by Aker Reinertsen, the topside
modifications and hook-up
contractor. The many interfaces in
this project required close and constructive cooperation between the
parties in all phases of the development. This paper summarises the
experiences from the project.

Slender wells and new subsea solutions for

Islay flow assurance challenges – Seabed
conditioning and heat tracing
Audun Faanes, Leader Integrated Operations and Process
Control, Statoil
Statoil has identified cost-effective subsea wells as one
of our major challenges. To achieve such solutions it is
required to look at all sides of a subsea development.
This presentation will cover how a slim wellhead, BOP
and riser system will contribute to a less costly subsea
development. The focus will be on all aspects of a subsea
development. The effect on the drilling rig will be discussed
based on the fact that the drilling rig is the major cost driver
in subsea well developments.
Hugues Greder, Lead Development Engineer, Total
The Islay field is located in the northern North Sea UK
sector in the vicinity of the Alwyn Platforms. This gas
condensate Brent structure is planned to be developed
subsea with first gas in 2011. The main development
challenge for this HPHT field comes from the expected
early formation of water production which is the source of
major hydrate-related flow assurance issues. As continuous
inhibition is not feasible, Total has progressed a development scenario based on seabed conditioning prior to pipe
laying so that water can be collected and temporarily
inhibited at specific low points after a shut-down. It is also
intended to heat trace the pipeline as a back-up solution to
avoid hydrate formation. Heat tracing has so far never been
implemented in subsea developments. The Islay pilot could
open the path to a new hydrate management philosophy for
future developments.
Subsea building blocks for slender wells
Sergio Sabedotti, Project Manager, Aker Solutions
Reducing the Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and IOR and improving HSE are fundamental aspects in future subsea field
developments. The SBB (Subsea Building Blocks) is an
R&D effort from Statoil and Aker Solutions to investigate
and develop new technology that can allow the industry to
achieve these objectives. One important aspect of this initiative is well construction and reduced rig time for drilling,
completion and intervention of subsea wells. To enable a
slender system and increase the operational flexibility, well
equipment (WH, XMT) has been analysed and redesigned.
Subsea MMX solution: Only the colour has not
been challenged
Tor Berge Gjersvik, Project Leader, FMC Technologies
Statoil has challenged FMC: We need to reduce the cost
of subsea drainage points to increase oil recovery, and
to make profitable developments of new marginal oil and
gas fields. The answer to this is the Subsea MMX concept,
developed in close cooperation between FMC Technologies
and Statoil. The Subsea MMX solution provides a change
in how subsea fields are developed, and will reduce the
cost and delivery time of the subsea production system,
while enabling reduced drilling time and cost, and the use
of smaller drilling rigs.
Vega flow assurance system
Marit Larsen, Specialist Eng. Flow Assurance,
FMC Technologies and Sampath Munaweera, Statoil
Vega is a gas condensate field located off the west coast
of Norway and developed as a tie-in to the Gjøa platform.
The operator is Statoil, and production startup is estimated
to bt at the end of 2010. Flow assurance challenges are
high reservoir pressure and temperature, hydrate and wax
control, liquid accumulation and monitoring the well/template production rates. The Vega Flow Assurance System
(FAS) is a piece of software that supports monitoring and
operation of the field. The FAS is based on FlowManagerTM,
designed for real-time systems. This is a flexible tool with
its own steady-state multiphase and flow-assurance models. Due to the long flowlines and the dynamic behaviour,
the multiphase flow simulator OLGA is also integrated in
the system.
Vega FAS will be used as:
- An online monitoring tool
- An offline what-if simulation and validation tool
- An advisory control system for well production allocation
Pipeline heating systems for continuous
operations
Ole A. Heggdal, Technical Manager, Aker Solutions
Direct Electrical Heating (DEH) has recently been delivered
for continuous use during the lifetime of the field for the flow
assurance of pipelines transporting waxy unprocessed well
stream. At present this is the only system for continuous
heating that has been installed on subsea pipelines. DEH is
also commercially and technically attractive for use in deep
water. DEH has been applied actively in the past ten years
to prevent hydrate formation during shut-downs. To meet
the requirements on new deep-water fields, technology
for static and dynamic DEH high-voltage umbilicals is now
available. Electric heating of pipelines is attractive since the
running costs are considerably reduced compared to the
use of chemicals. Interest in DEH and IPUs is increasing
and the DEH system is being planned in development
around the world. Experiences on installed electrical pipeline heating systems have proven easy operation and have
also shown that high reliability.

On 1 November 2007, severe anchor damage was
discovered on the 30-inch Kvitebjørn gas export pipeline.
The damage consisted of a localised dent and a 17-degree
buckle, but no leakage. Statoil has invested in building an
effective repair contingency structure for the large pipeline
network on the Norwegian continental shelf, with particular
focus on the large gas export pipelines. The repair method
for the Kvitebjørn pipeline was remotely operated using two
Morgrip couplings and a spool. The installation used the
purpose-built pipeline repair system stored at Killingøy and
couplings produced and tested back in 2005.
This presentation will cover the initial damage investigations, the temporary operational phase, the repair preparations, the actual repair and lessons learned.
Svein-Egil Dretvik, Project Manager Subsea Production
Systems, Statoil
An alternative to today’s power generation offshore using
either gas or diesel is an alternating current (AC) electric
power cable from shore. The power from shore through the
AC cable gives high savings for the environment. The cable
replaces four gas turbines with a total CO2-emission of
24.000 tonnes each year which represents the disposal
of 100.000 cars. ABB was awarded the contract, which includes engineering, fabrication and installation of the power
cable fromMongstad to the Gjøa platform – the longest AC
cable in the world, with a total length of 100 km.
The presentation will include system design, qualification
of the dynamic power cable, cable fabrication experiences,
testing at fabrication yard and installation aspects.

An effective hull IMR plan
Extending the cost-efficiency of rigid reel
pipelaying
Per-Olaf Queseth, Chief Engineer, Aker Solutions
For the subsea High Pressure High Temperature oil and
gas production systems, the primary challenge is to provide
good, reliable solutions for HPHT reservoir exploitation
based on an overview of parameters for already discovered
potential fields. The paper will present a résumé of Aker
Solutions’ previous development in this area exemplified
with experiences from testing and operator observations
during production start of HPHT fields in the North Sea. Further improvements are required to comply with the extreme
pressures and temperatures that have to be overcome.
“The Devil is in the details” is a very relevant proverb. A
programme to qualify subsea production x-mas trees for
ultra-HPHT use will be presented with a focus on sealing
systems, feed through solutions and materials as well as the
impact on interfacing systems. Preliminary and intermediate
analytical and test results will be presented and remaining
activities summarised.
Kvitebjørn gas pipeline repair – baptism of
remote pipeline repair system
Mireille Franco, Naval Architect, Total
The objective of the Hull Inspection, Maintenance and
Repair Plan is to ensure the total integrity of the floating
production unit. To be efficient, the monitoring has to be
part of the Hull Inspection, Monitoring, Maintenance and
Repair Plan (IMMR). The IMMR-plan should be developed
during the design and project phases and take into account
the interfaces between the different systems and teams’
tasks in operation. The IMMR is multidisciplinary and forms
part of the handover to ensure an efficient and early
implementation. Implementation of such a complex plan
requires:
- Cross-functionality: take advantage of the synergies
- Boldness: break the mould and think outside the box
- Listening: be attentive, be available
- Mutual support: during good and bad times.
This paper presents the way Total believe the hull IMMRplan shall be developed, implemented and followed up.
Mooring lines monitoring system
Hisham Sheriteh, Sales Engineer, 2H Offshore
Engineering Ltd
Mooring lines keep the FPSO turret in place, thereby
providing a controlled environment for risers. The mooring
lines are subsea and broken mooring lines have gone
unnoticed for months, even years. FPSOs are usually
designed to allow a single line failure, but if more than one
line fails the risers carrying the fluids could rupture and the
FPSO could become unstable and potentially capsize. It is
vital that line failures are detected to mitigate such disasters. Bodies like FPSO JIP groups have investigated ways
to detect mooring line failures. Most previously proposed
solutions have failed or do not offer sufficient reliability.
We considered the issues surrounding the installation
and operation of the system carefully before developing a
system concept with particular focus on design parameters
ensuring reliability and robustness of the system.
Michael Boubli, Discipline Supervisor, Technip
Investment in new assets and technology related to the
reeling of pipelines will extend capacities beyond the current situation. This capacity relates to the increased size
of pipelaying vessels such as: main storage reels (2 off),
overboarding ramps and chutes, product tensioners, deck
and ramp handling equipment, etc. The size of pipelines that
can be handled will increase from 16” to a typical 20”, and
deep-water capacities will increase down to approximately
3.000m. The aim is to be able to prepare dual spool/loadout operations in addition to handling larger and heavier
pipe sizes. The purpose of co-ordination between two or
more projects or clients would be to reduce the number of
intermediate load-outs and the transit time between onshore
pipestalk site(s) and offshore field location(s). The presentation will also describe the positive consequences for future
subsea field developments related to flowlines/pipelines.
Flexible risers, pleasure and pain
Jan Muren, Engineering Manager, 4 Subsea
More than 300 flexible risers are installed offshore Norway.
These risers have enabled successful development of
many large fields. Internationally, flexible risers have been
an enabling technology in deep-water areas offshore Brazil
and the west of Africa. Flexible risers are highly critical parts
of an offshore development. We see a trend of increasing
failure rates with increasing service life. This trend may be
hard to counter as a significant number of failure modes
are related to exposure time. Effective integrity management methods will be needed to enable the continuous safe
operation of risers as they grow old.
Vega HPHT field development
Jostein Erlandsen, Senior Engineer, Statoil
The Vega subsea field, tied back to the Gjøa platform with a
51-kilometre single pipeline is one of the most challenging
technology projects ever undertaken by Statoil. It is the
combination of extremes rather than one record-breaking
achievement that sets the Vega development apart. Production temperatures from -30 to +135ºC and flowing wellhead
pressure up to 475 bars, combined with high wax appearance temperature and low start-up temperatures expose
Vega to both wax deposition and hydrates. New subsea
metering systems have been developed due to comingled
production from two licenses and two independent subsea
MEG injection systems have been implemented. The paper
will focus on the qualification process of barrier elements
and the potential challenges related to qualification of complex production and safety-critical systems such as the subsea production control system and the subsea instrumented
pipeline pressure protection system (SIPPS)
A new deep-water multiphase and wet gas
flowmeter for HPHT
Dr. Rolf Rustad, Manager of Product Development and
Technology, 3-Phase Measurements AS
A new deep-water multiphase and wet gas flowmeter for
HPHT applications has been developed. The flowmeter
covers all multiphase and wet gas applications from heavy
oil to lean and dry gas. Key features include a pressure
rating of 15,000psi, a maximum process temperature of
205°C (400F) and a maximum water depth of 3500m (11500
feet). This paper will discuss the design, the qualification
programme and the application of industry standards and
codes in the qualification programme. The qualification
philosophy and the selected standards and codes may be
applied in qualification of most types of equipment for the
deepwater HPHT oil and gas industry.
The copper cable is not dead
Jan Grove Knutsen, Sales Manager,
Last Mile Communication AS
For a long time old and proprietary communication solutions
have been used from vessels to subsea solutions, and
between subsea installations. This has changed in recent
years, since standard industrial products have become
good enough to be used in subsea installations. The biggest
change is that Ethernet is now used in most applications, and all Ethernet communication is based on open
standards(IEEE). Since this is now standard equipment,
this means cost reductions and easily available support and
products. This paper will describe how today’s products
make it possible to use old copper cables with today’s
technology. With this new technology it is possible to build
advanced networks where you can benefit from redundancy
functions and monitoring of your network.
Subsea wireless communications for enhanced
production monitoring
John Mulholland, Development Engineer,
FMC Technologies
As subsea systems become ever more complex the
required communications infrastructure has become critical,
and the associated cost of the cabling and connections
required to accommodate this often limits the extent of the
sensor and communication architecture. A similar monitoring
and control trend has been seen in surface production systems, but in recent years the benefits of employing wireless
communication technology have been demonstrated in such
surface applications. In this paper we describe the potential
for wireless technologies to provide the communications for
the future monitoring and control infrastructure of subsea
production systems. The findings of a technical study that
assessed electromagnetic, acoustic and free space optical
based communication technologies are reported. The relative merits of each technology, along with how each may be
used as part of an overall enhancement package for subsea
production and processing equipment, is described.
Subsea leak detection systems
– Recommended practice
Kristin Nergaard Berg, Senior Engineer, DNV
It is known in the industry that occasional leakages occur
in subsea production systems. In spite of efforts to apply
subsea leak detectors, the experience is that most leakages
are either detected by ROV during routine inspections or
interventions, or as oil slicks on the surface. Operators and
authority awareness towards the environmental impact of
oil and gas production is increasing. The regulatory bodies in Norway, the EU and the USA specify requirements
for detection of acute pollution. This paper presents the
development of a Recommended Practice (RP) sponsored
by OLF (The Norwegian Oil Industry Association). The JIP
includes several major oil and gas operators. The objective
of the RP is to serve as a technical and practical reference
in the field of subsea leak detection.

Total’s Pazflor project off Angola represents yet another first
for FMC Technologies: It’s the first deepwater development
based on full-field gas/liquid separation at the mudline.
Three vertical separation systems make it feasible to extract
heavy, highly viscous oil economically from deep Miocene
reservoirs. And that’s only the beginning. Explore the extraordinary potential of our subsea technology with a tour
