THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION WELCOMES YOU TO THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE (UTC), THE 22ND UTC SINCE THE FIRST HELD IN 1980.

The theme of this year’s conference is “Lean Subsea – the way forward” and tells us that we have to engineer, construct and install subsea facilities smarter and more cost-efficient. Optimization, standardizing interfaces and closer collaboration across the industry will strengthen subsea competitiveness and make subsea the preferred field development concept.

We believe that this year’s technical programme is the best ever, based on the record high number of well qualified abstracts received. UTF will commend the Program Committee for their efforts in putting together a highly topical program that we very much look forward to learn from. The cooperation in this great group of subsea professionals motivates us to further develop the conference to be a high-level international arena for discussions for the future underwater technologies and system solutions. With great challenges ahead, it is important that individuals from major subsea operators from all over the world gather together with suppliers and service providers to share initiatives, developments and solutions. We will provide the collaborative environment for you all to thrive.

This year UTC will feature Market, Investors and R&D seminars, a new format for the warm-up to the main conference. The seminars will be arranged at USF Verftet hosted in collaboration with valued partners GCE Subsea and DNB. The Icebreaker event will take place at the same venue later in the evening. The programme for the Market, Investors and R&D seminars, 14 June, will consist of two parallel sessions in the afternoon; one focusing on Subsea Market Outlook and Investors Perspectives, and the other, the International RDI workshop, focusing on Subsea R&D and Innovation for the future – presenting the new Global Subsea University Alliance. We need to keep updated on Investors strategies and assessments, capital market influence and adapting to achieve competitiveness.

Norway is at the forefront globally in terms of development and operation of subsea technology. The Underwater Technology Foundation is a non-commercial entity established in 1980 when several large oil-related companies joined forces to hold an Underwater Technology Conference. The overall objective of the foundation is to promote increased knowledge of the subsea sector. This is something the foundation will achieve through UTC which features an exhibition open to everyone interested in learning more about subsea, and with a high level technical programme. Since last year the UTF has been strengthened and we are very pleased that both FMC Technologies and OneSubsea have become new members.

UTF was a strong contributor to the establishment of the cluster NCE Subsea which last year became a Global Centres of Expertise in Subsea (GCE Subsea). UTF and GCE Subsea have strong cooperation on common objectives – the UTC conference is one of the most important projects for the partners.

UTC offers you several facilitated and renowned networking arenas. UTC is a full-service conference. This means that all meals and drinks during the conference are included in the conference fee. Many thanks to our sponsors, exhibitors, speakers and attendees who are making this conference a great success!

We look forward to a rewarding conference and welcome you to Bergen in June!

On behalf of the Underwater Technology Conference Program Committee, our sponsors and exhibitors, it is my great pleasure and privilege to welcome all of you to UTC 2016.

Once again, we received a record number of abstracts, but what impressed the Committee was not the sheer number of submissions, but the quality of the work going on right now in the subsea industry. I have no doubt that this year’s technical program will encourage stimulating conversations and will inspire us all.

Our great industry is facing very challenging times. Three years ago, the subsea industry could not respond fast enough to quench operators’ thirst for subsea equipment in their frenetic hunt to explore increasingly complex and deeper wells. Today, the situation could not be more different. We are all shaken by the state of the international oil and gas industry – even those among us who have been in the oil patch for some time, have never seen a downturn of this magnitude.

But maybe there’s a silver lining. The crude collapse provides an incentive to take a careful look at how we operate and to find better ways to work. The theme for this year’s forum “Lean Subsea – The Way Forward” reflects the need of the entire oil and gas industry–not just subsea–to adopt a lean manufacturing mindset to continuously improve and reduce cost.

Lean is about learning and adapting in order to continuously improve productivity and become more efficient. In my opinion, lean is also about being brave and smart. And here lies the high potential for improvement, because today new technology and new business models are hugely underutilized in our industry. My hope is that the current market conditions will encourage companies to bring new technology much faster to market and that we can find business models that drive profit upward for all involved. I’m sure that there are several other interpretations of lean and I can’t wait to learn more about them during UTC 2016.

The new market reality calls for a more proactive approach to subsea exploration: One that aggressively drives costs down and that puts subsea development into the profitable zone once again. A leaner subsea industry is truly the only way forward.

Our industry is ready for a change and is eager to take the necessary measures to emerge leaner, stronger and with a more efficient cost base.

We all have a part to play in this transformation and it is now our time to take the lead and push the lean agenda forward.

I look forward to seeing you in Bergen!

UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION

SINCE 1980, BERGEN HAS SERVED AS THE HOST CITY FOR THE WORLD’S OLDEST SUBSEA CONFERENCE, AND THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE EVENT IS THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION (UTF).

The Underwater Technology Foundation is a non-commercial entity established in 1980 when several large oil-related companies joined forces to arrange the first Underwater Technology Conference in Bergen. At that time, the subsea industry was in its infancy, and the foundation was the first in the world to put on a conference with sole focus on this sector.

UTC – AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING ARENA Ever since the first UTC, the conference has been a regular event in Bergen. For the first 30 years, it was held biennially, but from 2010 onwards, it became an annual event. In addition to the large Norwegian oil and gas operators and suppliers, the proportion of international representatives is high – and is steadily rising. 21 different nations was represented in 2015. The conference attracts between 800 and 1000 participants annually. Hence, this June event in Bergen is an international meeting point for the world’s leading subsea technology companies. New technology is presented, challenges are discussed and UTF is the host and organiser.

THE FOUNDATION PROMOTES KNOWLEDGE UTF is, however, far more than just the Underwater Technology Conference – although focus on this event is high. The overall objective of the foundation is to promote increased knowledge of the subsea sector in the Bergen region. This is something the foundation will achieve through conferences such as UTC, which features an exhibition open to everyone interested in learning more about subsea. In addition, the foundation will hold exhibitions and meetings, and will contribute to research and training at university level. As an example, the University of Bergen was granted NOK 100 000 in 2013, in order to increase the places available to subsea students.

GRANT To fulfil the latter, the foundation offers a grant available to applicants in need of financial support for a subsea related research or training project. The foundation would like to see more applicants for the grant, and encourages anyone with a relevant project to apply.

EXPANSION OF THE FOUNDATION In 2015 the Foundation welcomed two new members, FMC Technology and OneSubsea. The Foundation now consists of Aker Solutions, City of Bergen, CMR, DNV GL, FMC Technologies, NUI, OneSubsea, Sparebanken Vest and Statoil.

Learning to be Lean subsea: the way forwardThis summer’s Underwater Technology Conference in Bergen will feature one of the best industry line-ups, seen for years with senior executives from Schlumberger, ExxonMobil, Statoil, Aker Solutions and GE Oil and Gas providing keynote presentations.

Marilyn Tears, who has already distinguished herself within the offshore industry, most recently as an ExxonMobil project manager leading the Julia deepwater development in the US Gulf of Mexico and who is now Safety, Security, Health and Environment manager for ExxonMobil Development Company, will be bringing to UTC this year her own perspectives on how HSE issues can impact subsea developments.

She will be joined on the conference platform by Arne Sigve Nylund, Statoil’s executive vice president of development and production, whose keynote speech will be themed “Transforming for the future.”

Luis Arajuo CEO of Aker Solutions, is due to discuss the prospects for a sustainable subsea industry in a longer-lasting low oil price environment.

Neil Saunders, president and CEO of Subsea Systems and Drilling at GE Oil and Gas, will outline how to prepare for operating in a digital industrial era: He will also address ways of optimising industry processes, to achieve leaner, simpler and more efficient project designs.

Marilyn Tears will be bringing her considerable experience both of the Julia development and her focus on HSE to bear on this year’s conference theme, “Lean subsea - the way forward.”

Tears will talk about subsea cost reduction: This is one of, if not the single biggest issue facing the subsea industry in the current price climate.

With this in mind, Tears says, HSE sets the stage for managing all other aspects of business in the subsea sector. “We often see HSE as a predictor of cost, schedule and quality performance. This is why excellence in HSE is important through the entire life-cycle of subsea projects,” she says.

Offshore development teams need to consider all aspects of HSE and understand their implications for manufacturing, installation, operations and maintenance throughout a project cycle Tears says. “HSE design solutions that are both excellent and fit-for-purpose will ultimately reduce cost across the life cycle of subsea equipment.”

She advocates focusing on equipment reliability and quality, which in turn

requires structure and consistency in work execution: “The same focus on structure and consistency for work execution will remove variability. Removing variability from execution will reduce rework and extra costs while also improving reliability and quality,” she argues. “There have been many scientific studies which show that improving quality leads to improved cost control. A structured approach to safety, integrity, quality and risk management is an enabler to get “leaner” while improving results.”

At UTC this year, Tears will also discuss leaner operations in more detail, she says: “Being ‘lean’ is about creating more value for customers with fewer resources. A lean organization understands customer value and focuses its key processes to continuously increase it. By elimination of efforts that do not support value to customers, costs will be reduced,” she states. “When working to get leaner, it is important to not forget to focus on the high-risk areas as they drive execution uncertainty. Teams that gain clarity around what is required to address these high-risk areas are rewarded with improved performance.”

While Tears says the industry needs to work “appropriately and collaboratively,” she says it also has to become more adaptable to market and industry development needs. Emphasising the need to learn lessons to improve performance, she says subsea technology has to support the twin challenges of higher pressure and

greater depths: “Leveraging learning from others contributes to identifying risks as well as potential savings,” she says.

Advocating creative thinking to use or expand the deployment of common components in different configurations, she suggests this approach can also deliver lower cost alternatives to unique, purpose-designed and built solutions. “We have to figure out how to use technology to enable alternative subsea solutions to save costs over traditional surface solutions.”

Industry standardisation has been embraced by the subsea sector, Tears says, and real inroads have been made recently, she says, citing the DnV Subsea Forging Standard - a recommended practice for steel forgings for subsea application - as one example. Tears points out other joint industry projects are progressing subsea quality, subsea welding standards, documentation, topside control and electrical power systems. She says the International Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) Association is also starting to standardize subsea trees for the four primary types of subsea trees used today. “I am proud to say that ExxonMobil has played key leadership roles in many of these efforts/initiatives to date,” Tears adds.

Other efforts to standardise equipment have been undertaken too: “ExxonMobil has developed standard part numbers with several suppliers on a concentric, monobore vertical tree design that was used for both the Hadrian South and Julia projects,” Tears points out. Another

innovation, an ExxonMobil Universal Master Control Station, was also used for the first time on Julia. Tears says this is a precursor for standardized subsea and topside controls interfaces. “In the future for example, subsea controls will be nothing more than a node on a conventional topside (or onshore) process control system.”

Exxon is continuing research and development for producing offshore oil

and gas at depths that were technically impossible a generation ago and in “challenged resource development areas.” Capex savings associated with infrastructure reductions for offshore opportunities are also being sought. “These include subsea processing technologies, where ExxonMobil has recently qualified subsea compression, subsea separation, and subsea water treatment,” Tears explains. Other technology focus areas include wet gas compression, high pressure boosting, and long distance subsea power distribution and transmission. ExxonMobil has also begun researching subsea gas dehydration, Tears reveals.

With the current oil price, Exxon staff are examining the way subsea systems work together, from their design and manufacture, through to installation

and operations, to increase efficiency. This requires an “open conversation” by customers and suppliers Tears says, and an “...active discussion/debate on needs and potential options to meet those needs.” Tears suggests this has to happen across all project phases, while maintaining a focus on quality and the reliability of products, and execution.

This year will be the 22nd UTC to take place in Bergen, hosted by the the Underwater

Technology Foundation, and the conference and related industry exhibition will again set the highest standards: More than 800 conference delegates are expected to attend. They will hear from the highest echelon of industry leaders who will provide key insights to the subsea industry today and outline how it will be going

forward as part of a technical conference programme compiled by a committee of Norwegian and international industry experts. Over 50 subsea technology related exhibitors will also be accommodated in Dovregubbens Hall, within Bergen’s Grieghallen, where there will be space for networking and discussions between operators and suppliers.

1. What are the themes you plan to address in your keynote speech to the UTC conference?

Whether the price of oil sits at $100+ or sub-$40 per barrel, for me it’s about how we as an industry become more resilient and more efficient, regardless of oil price.For GE Oil & Gas, this means focusing our efforts on what we can control, such as introducing smarter and more cost-effective technologies together with the right level of disruptive thinking. In some cases, this will lead us to shake up some of the deep-rooted conventions of our industry, while at the same time inject some fresh thinking into our current practices.At UTC, I will share some of the efforts we are leading in this direction, from a renewed emphasis on optimization and enhanced digital capabilities to the investment we are making to create the factories of the future. The integration of sensing, communications and analytics capabilities is key to providing enhanced operational insights, driving optimization, improving reliability and performance, and reducing cycle time – creating new value for operators and the supply chain. For example, we are looking at scenarios in which we can create, test and build equipment virtually, with manufacturing simulations and digital representations designed to significantly enhance the manufacturing process.

2. How can the subsea sector best achieve cost reductions without comprising equipment reliability and quality?

In the recent past, the cost of execution in the subsea arena has risen significantly, due to a combination of factors such as greater complexity, stringent local content requirements and government policies – but also due to inefficiencies in our industry. We need to unlock improvements across the entire lifecycle of a project while maintaining the highest safety standards and boosting quality. We should also look closely at our business practices and drastically simplify them.This will require a substantial cultural change. In the supply chain specifically, operations are complex and fragmented with multiple stakeholders influencing a project’s successful execution. As OEMs, we need to go back to full ownership of the end-to-end process, reinstating

mutual trust and collaboration with our partners. There is an important element of innovation that we can bring to the discussion too, one that could encourage the adoption of new commercial models centred on sharing risk as well as reward.

3. What things need to happen to reduce industry costs? What is GE Oil & Gas doing to address this?

I believe that the key to shaping a viable path forward for our industry is to go beyond cost reduction, re-thinking some of the fundamentals and creating value for the long-term. Unique to GE Oil & Gas is our ability to tap into the power of the wider GE enterprise, combining technologies, capabilities and expertise from across all our industrial businesses to drive performance and outcomes. We call this ability to transfer intellect and technology across industries the “GE Store”. It enables us to re-define our practices and develop smarter technology to meet the demands of today’s constrained industry landscape. For what concerns product and technology development, at GE we have recently adopted a new framework of principles and techniques called ‘FastWorks’, which involves rapid learning cycles and close collaboration with customers throughout the project development phase. With quick deliverables and fast learning, we can develop a product or solution that fully meets market needs in the fastest possible time.

4. Where is the focus of your company’s research and development?

We are focusing on developing equipment and systems that not only deliver cost reductions, but also enable simplified and reliable operations. System integration across the full life of field is also high on our agenda – especially in areas like subsea intervention, where our efforts are aimed at providing customers with a lean and cost-effective approach to operate a growing number of mature fields.As part of our subsea power and processing portfolio, we are developing a seawater treatment and injection system built on an innovative design which allows prolonged intervention intervals, longer lifetime and that uses vertically connected modules in order to reduce footprint. Reduced size and lighter infrastructure are at the core of our efforts on wet gas compression, where we are working to develop more compact, reliable and cost-effective subsea compression solutions. We are exploring a completely new way to simplify subsea boosting, also as part of this family of capabilities, that consists of a highly innovative system to help us achieve greater operational flexibility, reduced lifecycle cost and smaller subsea and topside footprint. As subsea operations shift to increasingly challenging environments, our teams are working on developing suitable cost

reduced, and efficient solutions. Testament to this is the work our engineering teams are undertaking to deliver a new composite flexible riser solution, expanding GE’s existing portfolio of flexible risers and flowlines to reach into deeper waters and more extreme operational environments.

5. Which elements of subsea architecture (trees, wellheads, flexible pipelines and risers, umbilicals, jumpers, subsea manifolds, subsea processing equipment) ...offer the greatest scope for improvement/cost reduction or further development?

There is significant room for improvement across core subsea equipment, where project execution has become too complex and costly over the years. We can achieve this by harnessing greater engagement across the supply chain. From our perspective as an OEM, this means co-engineering initiatives and greater transparency and open communication with our suppliers as well as early engagement with our customers. Having the opportunity to contribute to field layout options from the onset, and jointly agree on key specifications can trigger a fundamental cultural change around accountability on quality and speed of execution. Non-conventional commercial models and new supplier ecosystems could lead to reshaping the role of OEMs in the future. 6. Why?

Today, project execution of core technology such as subsea production systems is way too complex. We have a great opportunity to simplify interactions and re-think our entire ecosystem. This is not just an issue to be tackled at the component level but involves the entire design and delivery process.

INTRODUCING NEW SEMINARS: MARKET, INVESTORS AND R&D

This year, UTC will feature a new format for day zero, offering a nice warm-up to the main conference in Grieghallen. The Market, Investors and R&D seminars will be hosted in collaboration with valued partners GCE Subsea, CMR and DNB.

The program for June 14th, will consist of two parallel sessions in the afternoon; one focusing on Subsea Market Outlook and Investors Perspectives, and the other focusing on Subsea R&D and Innovation for the future – presenting the new Global Subsea University Alliance.

UTC´s core asset is the high quality technical program. Still, in the current market climate, a deeper insight into both market and RDI is of interest to both engineers, economists and academics. We would like them to meet and share their thoughts for the future.The important issues deserves a more extensive attention than what we are able to include in the format of the main conference program. This year the seminars will replace the traditional UTC field trips, and will take place at USF Verftet, where the Icebreaker will be arranged in the evening.

INTRODUCTION TO THE SEMINARS:

Subsea Market Outlook and Investors PerspectivesAt the Market & Investors seminar, you will get insights into oil and gas prize developments and an analysis of the subsea market. Industry leaders from operators and suppliers will present perspectives on their markets, followed by updates on investor strategies and assessments, and opportunities in the capital market with low oil price.

International RDI Workshop Several world-renowned engineering universities, collocated with the oil and gas industry, have come together and formed the Global Subsea University Alliance (GSUA), addressing the workforce development and R&D challenges in the area of subsea engineering. The alliance simplifies researcher exchange, facilitates new research developments and eases access to company and research agency labs and infrastructure, which will help increase R&D interaction between companies and universities.The RDI session brings together the subsea industry, policy makers and GSUA members, focussing on subsea technology, strategy, R&D and innovation for the future.

Attendance will be included in the conference fee. See program in the following pages.

June 15th, 1130-1200, Track 1@Peer GyntTroll Pilot - The world’s first and longest-running subsea separation system celebrating 15 years of operation and increased oil productionWilliam Bakke, Advisor Subsea Technology and Operation Subsea Processing, Statoil and Hans Kristian Sundt, Product Management Leader Subsea Power and Processing GE Oil & GasIn May 1997 the contract for the Troll Pilot subsea separation system was awarded at a time when the oil price was $19 per barrel. The Troll Pilot is tied back 3.3km to the Troll C platform in 340m of water. The system separates produced water from oil on the seafloor so the water does not have to be transported back to the platform. Water is then injected back to the water aquifer in the reservoir 200 meters below the oil water contact. The main objective of the project at the time was to mitigate the possible early breakthrough of water in the field and make subsea separation part of the toolbox for the future. On the 25th of August 2001, the Troll Pilot was put into production. On average, the system has increased oil production with thousands of barrels per day and is still operating at 100% availability. We are now celebrating the 15th anniversary for the system in operation. This paper will explore Troll C subsea separation from both a technical and economic perspective, discussing key aspects of the project, such as the impact of subsea separation on operations at Troll C; the resulting environmental benefits; the factors allowing Troll C separation to be sanctioned with a focus on what has changed since and whether the same project would be viable in today’s constrained industry landscape.. The paper will then explore how the economics compare in today’s environment. A 5% annual growth rate would have resulted in an oil price at $48 today vs 19$ in 1997, compared with the average US inflation rate of 2.3% over the same period. Lessons learnt will be discuss along with the Troll Pilot’s influence on future solutions.

June 15th, 1200-1230, Track 1@Peer GyntApplication of a structured optimization process to subsea compression systemsKnut Nyborg, VP Head of Advanced Subsea Production, Aker SolutionsIn the current challenging oil and gas market scenario, there is a consensus across the supply-chain that a major focus should be on developing more cost-effective and optimized systems, with no major qualification efforts and ensuring required robustness. In order to maximize the success rate of similar optimization processes, it is key to combine an unrestricted and collaborative idea generation process with a structured and solid validation phase. The purpose of this validation is to challenge anticipated benefits and evaluate them against the potential impact on the functionality of the system. This should be a data-driven process, preferably based on test results and actual field experience. An example of the application of a similar process to subsea compression systems will be presented, starting from various hypotheses and ideas for simplification and cost reduction, such as revised sparing philosophy and redundancy requirements, new modularization concepts and compressor operating conditions. Among those options, a limited number of specific items has been selected for further investigation and validation together with suppliers and operators. Details on the validation process for these optimization ideas will be presented, based on the experience from the testing and operation of Åsgard subsea compression, and the assessment of related limitations in non-core functionalities of the system.

June 15th, 1230-1300, Track 1@Peer GyntThe Deployment of the World’s First Subsea Multiphase Compression System – Enabling Increased Recovery at Reduced CostsMads Hjelmeland, Director - Emerging Technologies, OneSubsea Processing ASThe challenge of increased recovery in development of subsea fields has driven the advancement of subsea processing technologies, in particular within the subsea boosting

domain. The successful operation of large subsea boosting systems on a global scale, coupled with significant added value of pre- compression systems in gas fields, has driven the next technology step; subsea multiphase compression. The application of a multiphase compressor in a subsea environment simplifies the subsea compression system significantly, as there is no need for pre-processing. This enables development of simplified subsea systems at lower capital expenditure and field development costs. The subsea multiphase compressor is designed for pressure boosting of unprocessed well stream. The compressor, which is based on a contra-rotating principle, allows for a compact and robust design easy to install by use of light intervention vessels, and is based on the well proven design developed for subsea booster pumps. The compressor is furthermore designed to operate across any multiphase flow regime. This paper will provide an overview of the Technology Qualification Program (TQP) completed for the Gullfaks Subsea Compression (GSC) Project, as well as present the WGC4000TM compressor performance characteristics and mechanical design. Experience from the commissioning of the compression system in the second half of 2015 will also be described. An overview of currently ongoing technology qualification work, which includes increased compressor performance, will be provided. June 15th, 1600-1630, Track 2@KlokkeklangÅsgard Subsea CompressionTorstein Vinterstø, Project Director and Nils Petter Time, Commission Manager, StatoilSeveral fields are now approaching the tail production phase and mitigating actions to secure the gas reserves and prolong the production is needed. The more efficient measure is to boost the production close to the wells and since 2012 Statoil has been running a Subsea Factory Portfolio with two subsea compression projects in parallel, Gullfaks Subsea Compression and Åsgard Subsea Compression. The Åsgard field was started up in 1999 and includes the Smørbukk oil and Midgard gas assets. Midgard is located approximately 45 km (28 miles) from the field centre and Mikkel located nearly

40 km (25 miles) further away is tied back to Midgard. To extend the life time of Midgard and Mikkel, boosting of well stream is necessary. The Åsgard Subsea Compression (ÅSC) project has since 2011 been building the world’s first Subsea Compression Station (SCSt). The ÅSC SCSt includes two individual compressor train installed in a shared template with a total weight of 5100 tons, a footprint of more than 3300 m2, and height around 26 meters. The SCSt is connected to a subsea manifold station routing all inflow pipelines from the wells and export flow lines to ÅGS B. The installation includes a comprehensive SURF scope with more than 60 km new flowlines, 11 PLEMs, and 50 tie-in points. The compressor station is powered from ÅSG A where a separate HV electro module of 850 tons weight has been installed. The subsea station is remotely operated from ÅSG B. The Subsea commissioning has been carried out during summer and autumn 2015. It has involved control system commissioning, dynamic commissioning with N2 and MEG, before final commissioning with hydrocarbons. In order to secure an efficient commissioning with involvement of a large number of vendors, a remote operation room for the commissioning team was installed at Statoil’s Stjørdal office where the Åsgard Operations land organisation is housed, avoiding constraints imposed by offshore training, helicopter travel, and shortage of offshore cabins. Challenges including cooperation between onshore room, offshore platform, and installation vessel simultaneously, as well as performing commissioning on one train with the other in operation, is discussed. The paper gives an overview of the schedule and execution of the implementation. A large number of people and companies have contributed both to the development phase and to the actual fabrication and installation and the main vendors and sub-suppliers that has made it possible to realize the two projects are summarized. The paper also describes the subsea commissioning phase, including lessons learnt from the subsea commissioning phase. In addition, is gives an outline of the experiences gained during start-up and operational phase.

June 15th, 1630-1700, Track 2@KlokkeklangSubsea sulphate removal and Injection SystemJose Luis Plasencia Cabanillas, Product Manager Subsea Processing, GE Oil & GasOffshore Oil &Gas industry is shifting exploration & production efforts towards deeper waters and longer step-out distances. Enhanced oil production can be achieved through the injection of seawater into oil reservoirs to maintain or increase oil production. The injection of seawater can cause sulfate scaling issues in the reservoir, the formation of sulfate scale deposits in the production pipes and lead to reservoir souring and equipment corrosion in the production system. Sulfate removal systems for seawater injection are the preferred treatment technology to prevent the build-up of sulfate scales and ensure productivity. GE proposes a robust and reliable solution for subsea sulfate removal and injection. This system concept is based on GE membrane technology products that operate at lower fluxes than in conventional topside systems. This novel design has several advantages including the elimination of Cleaning In Place (CIP) for system simplification, a membrane life of 5 years to prolong intervention intervals and high robustness to operate with

different inlet seawater qualities. The proposed solution applies different technologies including radiation for inlet water disinfection, coarse solids removal, fines removal using ultra-filtration technology and sulfates removal using nano-filtration membrane technology. The resulting Subsea Seawater Treatment and Injection System is modularized with vertically connected modules, which optimizes footprint and ensures easy access to connections and valves. This subsea seawater treatment system is proposed as an alternative to conventional topside systems in brownfields and tie-backs.

June 15th, 1700-1730, Track 2@KlokkeklangSubsea cooling; Passive, Active or Sea Current Controlled?Mattias Rudh, Specialist Engineer, Process, FMC Kongsberg Subsea ASLowering the temperature of a high temperature subsea well stream can enable tie in to an existing flow line network or permit the use of lower grade flow line steel. It can also help to reduce corrosion inhibitor rates or be employed upstream a subsea separator in order to enhance liquid removal. As there are varying types of cooling applications, the requirements on the subsea cooling system will also be different. A passive cooler, utilizing seawater as heat sink is robust, but provides no temperature control. Active coolers employing forced convection of seawater, provides control over the cooling duty by varying the seawater flow rate. The downside to active coolers is additional topside scope and complex subsea equipment. A novel concept utilizing naturally occurring sea current (Sea Current Controlled(?)) can provide the same degree of control as a forced convection cooler without the extra topside scope. This paper presents the novel Sea Current Control cooler. A systems approach is applied to a generic subsea cooling application using three different cooler types; a) a passive cooler, b) an active forced convection sea water cooler and c) the novel Sea Current Controlled active cooler. The system impact of the cooler technology will be assessed such as; the size and weight of the subsea cooler module, ease of installation and possible challenges with retrieveability, required topside scope, the achieved degree of temperature control, flow assurance issues like hydrates/erosion/wax, operability, and turndown capabilities over the life of a field.

June 15th, 1730-1800, Track 2@KlokkeklangInspiring Best HSEQ Practices Through Lean LeadershipCelina Thom, Project Manager, DOF Subsea NorwayOur industry is in the midst of a period of significant personnel cutbacks. Although there can be disagreement as to which jobs and how many positions must be lost, there exists a consensus on one point: safety cannot be compromised. Is this an achievable goal during a time when job security is at an all-time low and HSEQ departments are as vulnerable as any other to workforce cuts? In this presentation I argue that a “no-compromise” approach to health and safety offshore IS feasible, but that the methods to get there are not the same methods we’ve been crafting over the past 10 years. I present an approach based on the principles of LEAN leadership, of inspiring our ground floor workforce to enthusiastically take real ownership of core HSEQ principles. This

ownership hinges on two fundamental beliefs that all of our industry colleagues, at all levels of our organizations, need to internalize: 1. I am a leader (regardless of my title) who can inspire others to make the right choices 2. I truly care and want the best for all of my colleagues, within my own organization and across the industry at large. In this presentation I will present a strategy for implementing an attitude change in our workforce and explain why smaller, more compact, teams should be able to continue and even accelerate the positive downward trend in reportable incidents. Working smaller, working smarter, working safer.

SURF & SPS

June 15th, 1130-1200, Track 2@KlokkeklangTotal’s way towards Industrialization / StandardizationWolfgang Amadeus, Specialist Subsea Systems, TotalConsidering the current oil price coupled with the historic and continuing cost escalation in the subsea industry, cost saving is a necessity for the subsea business to be profitable. The SPS system might not be the largest cost contributor to CAPEX, but can also become a significant factor to OPEX. For this reason it is vital during early phase engineering to design the Subsea Systems considering both CAPEX and OPEX. The opportunities for improvements are large for both cost and schedule savings. One potential area that can realise the needed cost and schedule savings is Industrialization / Standardization of Subsea hardware. Potentially the biggest challenge the industry has is that each Operator have their unique SPS design requirements, which the SPS Contractors follows. These requirements are often based on lessons learnt and preferred subjective design solutions not jointly agreed throughout the industry. Key elements with regards to cost saving is to allow the SPS Contractors and their suppliers to use established work processes and standard equipment without the need to customize for each Operator and project. Due to the uncertainties with the direction the industry is approaching industrialization; Total has instigated several industrialization initiatives. In 2014 we aligned the Total specifications with four of the SPS contractors; In 2015 we started working actively with the SPS contractors on standardizing / industrializing the conventional SPS equipment, i.e. well heads, trees, controls. The first standardization exercise with one SPS contractor is completed, with the aim to utilize their standard products, mostly without Total requirements. Based on all the work initiatives to standardize/industrialize and to simplify internal specifications to better reflect the subsea industry norms, we expect a significant cost and schedule saving.

June 15th, 1200-1230, Track 2@KlokkeklangCutting subsea cost through further standardization and industrialisationRoald Sirevaag, Project Manager, StatoilStatoil has a clear strategy on simplification, standardization and industrialization (SSI) to enable competitiveness of subsea with today’s oil price. The main elements of this strategy will be highlighted and reviewed. The central means for executing on the strategy is co-operation within the industry with other operators and

23

suppliers in a number of different forms, forums and arenas. The key initiatives and supported collaborative efforts on NCS and internationally will be described and discussed.

June 15th, 1230-1300, Track 2@KlokkeklangAdopting an Integrated Approach to Flexible Riser Life ExtensionRam Subramanian, Subsea & Pipelines Surveillance Engineer, Shell E&P UKThis paper details an integrated approach to flexible riser life extension where Shell worked with key suppliers, combining traditional riser annulus testing, innovative NDT and advanced analysis techniques in order to safely extend the operating life of risers on a Northern North Sea asset. The case study highlights the complexity inherent in life extension and the logical engineering decisions which require to be taken to advance knowledge relating to late life assets. The principle failure modes under consideration included carcass erosion, armour wire general corrosion and corrosion fatigue. The case study presents an interesting oversight of how best to responsibly operate and maintain flexible risers. There is no simple one size fits all approach, but a carefully considered combination of testing, inspection and analysis can give much increased confidence levels enabling the safe continued operation of risers which have exceeded their initial design life.

SUBSEA POWER, CONTROLS AND UMBILICALS

June 15th, 1130-1200, Track 3@TroldtogClean, Highly Efficient Offshore PowerBernt Skeie, CEO, Prototech ASFor the offshore industry to reduce emissions, increase power efficiency and limit the need for long power cables to remote offshore locations, a fuel cell system developed for offshore power is an ideal candidate. Fuel cells convert chemical energy directly into electricity without the need for combustion. With electric efficiencies of 60%, the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions can be reduced to 50% of the original values. Fuel cells can be placed subsea and produce the power necessary for an increasing number of subsea factories, in situ. Local natural gas resources will be utilized as fuel, and air will be drawn from sea level. The Subsea Fuel Cell will hence remove the need for additional power in subsea factories, both from land cables and platforms. For topside utilization, the goal is to replace existing gas turbines with fuel cells. Due to the importance of footprint and mass on offshore facilities, a key element is to keep the fuel cell modules compact without the need for extended structures. An ongoing RCN-funded project (Petromaks 2) at CMR Prototech will develop a robust and compact 10kW Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) system applicable for both topside and subsea applications. Simultaneously a MW-scale system for topside application will be designed. The focus areas are technical challenges regarding offshore application of traditional fuel cell technology. Industrial partners are Statoil Petroleum AS and AS Norske Shell.

June 15th, 1200-1230, Track 3@TroldtogQualifying subsea power distribution for the futureGilles Chene, Senior Sales Manager, GE Power ConversionIn several landmark projects over the last few years, many key technologies required for subsea power & processing systems have been installed, operated and proven to work. However, one important development that has been qualified and yet to be implemented is the subsea distribution of power. This constitutes placing switchgears and variable speed drives at the seabed to allow multiple processing units to be supplied through a single cable while being independently run. Benefits of such a system include increased step-out distance, reduced cost for medium/long tie-backs, and reduced need for topside space. After GE components have had more than 4,000 hours of submerged system testing for Shell’s Ormen Lange Pilot, GE has shown that all the technology elements to realize subsea power distribution are available and reliable. Comprehensive testing over a period of 3 years have shown both the individual equipment and integrated system to meet or exceed expectations. This presentation will give an overview of the technology development and qualification program leading up to the world’s first system test incorporating subsea switchgear and subsea drives. It will emphasize important technology choices and what it takes to design power electric equipment to meet subsea requirements of function and availability. From the submerged system test, key learnings will be shared. The presentation will conclude with some thoughts on the viability of these systems from a technical and economic perspective.

June 15th, 1230-1300, Track 3@TroldtogDC/FO - A lean but powerful DC subsea control infrastructureRonan Michel, Product Line Manager, Alcatel-Lucent Submarine NetworksSubsea controls architectures have been traditionally based on large size project-specific umbilicals integrating hydraulics, data, power and chemicals. Tieback length and power consumption drive the dimensioning of umbilical cross-section. The submarine telecom industry has an extensive track record of highly reliable, long reach, standardized solutions for DC powering and data transport. An alternative cost effective subsea control infrastructure solution has been developed leveraging on the submarine telecom industry experience, based on reliable super-structural and standardized DC subsea power and optical fiber communication cable network, compatible with existing brown fields and future green fields subsea control systems, so-called DCFO System. This innovative solution offers a number of advantages inspired from the telecom industry: Standardization – the same standard cross section can be used regardless of tie back length or power consumption demand; Reparability and Extendibility – The cable and its end terminations can be lifted to surface for repairs or extensions at sea with standardized jointing technology, simplifying the tie-back of new prospects and enabling phased development; Open platform – electrical power and communication interfaces can be connected to any SPS supplier equipment; Virtually unlimited reach within Oil and Gas fields – the system is dimensioned to serve the longest tie backs currently contemplated by the industry; Large power supply capability. This solution is an enabler for new applications such as AUV

recharge or E-Field sensing. On longer term, all-Electric trees can be powered through DCFO System, allowing further downsizing and cost reduction of legacy umbilical cross-section with the removal of hydraulic tubes.

June 15th, 1600-1630, Track 1@Peer GyntAchieving Lower CAPEX and Better Economics through Technologies IntegrationNicolas Lefebvre, Subsea Processing Lead, and Francois Gooris, New Pipeline Technologies Lead, Forsys SubseaAll offshore projects now have to be developed at significantly lower CAPEX to provide robust economics and allow project sanction in a low oil price environment. In the past few years, the subsea industry has qualified a large range of technology building blocks to address the flow assurance issues relating to increasingly complex reservoir and fluids, greater water depths and much longer step-outs. Among them, the flowline heating technologies should enable substantially more cost-effective innovative architectures including subsea scope simplification and long tie-backs. Further improvement is brought by early integration of advanced SPS solutions like construction-friendly structures and all-electric controls, standardized interfaces and subsea processing. Moreover, from a global field development project perspective, the new subsea technologies can contribute to the topsides process and positively impact the cost of surface facilities. This paper will assess the costs (CAPEX) & operating benefits of the subsea scope simplification through advanced technology and global integration for a typical 30-km oil tie-back in 1,500-m water depth. Benefits assessment will be supported by the comparison between a conventional approach and a stepwise integration of new technologies.

June 15th, 1630-1700, Track 1@Peer GyntCost efficient subsea tie-back development concept in 1000m water depth and mitigation of hydrate challenges.Ole Heggdal, Chief Engineer, Aker SolutionsAn extensive study has been performed to identify the technical and commercial most attractive solution for flow assurance control for a 30 km, 2 x 12” subsea tie back from 1000m water depth to the host platform at 150m water depth in the South China Sea. The flow assurance study concluded that hydrate formation may take place in the subsea pipeline during transient operations. As part of subsea tieback development of the field, hydrate management is required to ensure efficient uninterrupted production. The following solutions are studied to mitigate hydrate formation: The pros and cons for each of the systems will be presented along with final selection criteria. Cost estimates for topside modifications for each of the proposed hydrate management actions are stipulated for selection of preferred option. The conclusion from the work shows large CAPEX cost savings by using electrical heated flow line systems. Electrically heated solutions offer cleaner system compare to use of chemical option. The

24

DEH system turned out to be more promising than the other options on account of its constructability, system operability and track record. The operating costs of these systems are considerably reduced compared to the use of chemicals. Heated systems have been evaluated for oil and gas field project developments and this technology will give higher flexibility in operation of the fields during planned or unplanned shut downs or continuous heating. An increased number of Direct Electrical Heated Flow lines have been applied actively in the past 15 years to prevent hydrate formation in continuous or intermittent use. Use of electricity for hydrate management is now breaking new ground also in new regions. Improved technology offers flexibility in using AC power from platforms in the area or from shore. Next step in optimizing will be to use higher frequency that reduces the cable size and to place the entire electrical hydrate management system on the seabed. The technology is emerging from the Ormen Lange and Åsgaard Project technology Programs. This will reduce topside weight and space considerably and increase the efficiency, reliability and flexibility.

June 15th, 1700-1730, Track 1@Peer Gynt“The Statoil Cap-XTM Solution” - next step in subsea green and brown field developmentRune M Ramberg, Chief Engineer, StatoilAs part of the corporate cost saving strategy and need for a solution for shallow reservoirs, Statoil has launched a new protection and foundation concept called Statoil Cap-XTM solution. For the Statoil 23rd round application, it provided a cost effective solution and became an enabler for reaching horizontal wells in shallow reservoirs with typically 250-300m overburden. The concept consist of a standard structural design for protection and support for single and dual well satellites, as well as other process equipment. The Cap-XTM solution consist of a single suction anchor support, a deflection skirt

and top hatch protection. The concept has been designed to accommodate various equipment envelopes (such as XT, tie-in, control system etc.) independent of supplier and thus form a standard platform for the supplier marked. This strategy will allow suppliers to compete within package envelopes allowing more competition to the table. The intellectual rights and 3D model and documentation for the Cap-X will belong to Statoil. Hence future modification and facilitation for new technology will be handled by Statoil. The cost level within subsea has increased by a factor 2.5 over the last 10-12 years The goal is to reduce costs and improve competitiveness of subsea developments with flexibility to adapt. Due to the technical simplicity of the Cap-X Solution, Statoil ownership and the gained marked opportunity, the concept provides a cost efficient tool for new or existing equipment. The paper describes the ongoing work to achieve brown and green field developments. It describes how the supplier marked to a larger extent will be invited to tender, as well as the flexibility to adapt.

June 15th, 1730-1800, Track 1@Peer GyntSubsea produced water separation with SpoolSep: a reliable pipe-based solution for Deepwater applicationsShaiek Sadia, R&D Subsea Separation Technologies Manager, SAIPEM SAThe Oil & Gas Industry has to bring new solutions to develop more and more challenging deep-water fields while optimizing production costs and project delivery times. Subsea processing technologies benefit from an increased interest to tackle these challenges as they are able to meet stringent operating requirements while improving oil recovery factor. Based on gravity separation, which is a field proven, robust and reliable process, SAIPEM has developed the SPOOLSEP, an innovative subsea liquid-liquid separator made of several horizontal pipes working in parallel. The pipes are designed as subsea spools which can be

connected and disconnected individually for easy installation and maintenance. The technology allows then to combine robustness and efficiency required for subsea water separation for its reinjection into the reservoir network, while being suitable for deepwater and high pressure conditions. Moreover, such solution allows field development optimization with reducing topsides produced water treatment capacity and injection water needs, bringing then the opportunity for cost-effective tie-backs. Two test campaigns have been performed on a purpose built multiphase flow loop operating with model fluids at ambient conditions in order to qualify the efficiency and operability of the separator. A transparent reduced scale model has been built with 4 parallel pipes of 200mmID and 18m length each. The tests were performed to validate system symmetry and to assess the separator design criteria on required performances for several flow conditions (changing flowrates, WC, GVF, shear, water residence time, spool inclination). A third tests campaign has been recently launched to confirm the separation design rules with more representative oil/water systems. The presentation will give the main outcomes of the separation tests and will focus on the structural design and connection arrangements for offshore installation and maintenance of the subsea separator.

MARINE OPERATIONS AND IMR

June 15th, 1600-1630, Track 3@TroldtogHow can we take the next step to a more effcient and lean IMR vessels?Asmund Sætre, Manager Sales & Business Development, AXTechModern IMR vessels are large and advanced vessels with high costs. We would like to present different technologies that enable both to decrease the vessel size and cost, and enable use of traditional PSVs and AHTSs for IMR operations. Most module handling systems

25

require large modifications on the vessel, causing expensive mobilization and installation. What are the actual cost factors and technical challenges, and how they can be prevented. Is it possible to make small versatile module handling systems that can quickly be installed on almost any vessel and handle 90% of the modules in the North Sea? How can you make such system that can be installed in a few days with little or none modifications on the vessel? We would like to present our ideas and concept around this approach. Heave compensated winch are essential in module handling. But what if the vessel also is “heave compensated”? AXTech are in cooperation with MRPC developing a concept for module handling from small vessels with synchronized active roll and pitch control. We would like to present the theory behind this and compare it with the experiences we have made so far. Both topics are tied together and we believe the change in mind and concept around this is interesting. The trend for years have been bigger and bigger vessels for IMR, but now lean and smart is maybe better than bigger. How can we use smaller vessels, and if possible utilize the large number of vessels already built?

June 15th, 1630-1700, Track 3@TroldtogLeak repair on deep water X-mas treeBozidar Sevic, Lead Engineer, IK-NorwayIK-Norway AS has, together with the operator and co-suppliers developed and installed a new and low cost method for repairing a leaking X-mas tree in a South East Asia deep water gas field. The leak was caused by a failure of a flange couple resulting in a leak path downstream of the X-mas tree production choke. The main challenges were the location of the leakage with limited accessibility and limited space preventing the installation of a conventional repair clamp. Hence, the possible rectification alternatives were a full work over / pulling the tree or alternatively the development of this new concept. The technical solution settled for included a combined structural and sealing clamp with circumferential packers to mechanically

secure the flange couple, in combination with external injection of a pressure activated sealant. A comprehensive test program was developed and successfully followed in order to ensure that it would be possible to install the clamp subsea and perform the sealant injection. On completion of the clamp installation and sealant injection, the tree was de-isolated and then pressure tested to demonstrate the integrity of the repair. The tree was then commissioned and declared available for routine operations following a visual confirmation of the tree’s integrity by ROV.

June 15th, 1700-1730, Track 3@TroldtogHow Lean thinking can be used to optimise the O&G IndustryRadu Achim, Lean Program Coordinator/Executive Master Black Belt in Lean & Six Sigma, OceaneeringBased on Oceaneering success in implementing a Lean pilot project for vessel operations in Norway & UK from 2013 to 2015, we would like to share this knowledge with other companies within the O&G industry. By introducing Lean thinking, every company can benefit by significantly increasing utilisation of existing resources, but even more: to reduce project risks by enhancing the communication between Partners while planning/executing complex projects. The Oceaneering vessel operation pilot program delivered excellent results on increased operational efficiency utilizing the same number of personnel focusing on workflow efficiency within the targeted business unit. Oceaneering is only at the beginning of the Lean journey and the actual investment for the pilot project paid dividend in less than 12 months. We hope our presentation can be a door opener for wider use of Lean philosophies in the O&G industry and a milestone in embedding Lean into our corporate cultures. Lean is now part of Oceaneering workstreams and is deployed at corporate level. We are looking at various pilot projects to increase resource efficiency by collaboration between Partners (2 business cases presented in few words) Imagine how Norway could look if

we were able to get Lean totally embedded in our culture.

June 15th, 1730-1800, Track 3@TroldtogA novel system design for fast and flexible horizontal tie-in’sAlexander Fjeldly, Product Leader, GE Oil & GasA new light-weight horizontal tie-in system has been developed to enhance system cost, installation process and flexibility of use. Both the operators need for subsea cost reductions and the installation companies need for faster subsea installation have been addressed. The system is based on a standardized and field proven family of pressure containing hubs and clamps that are used across several alignment systems, both vertical and horizontal. Welding is omitted to avoid costly weld qualifications and allow “flat packing” to meet local content requirements. The new system offers a universal termination for 4 inch-12 inch flexibles, rigid pipe and umbilical’s. The same structure will be used across all applications with bolt on features for umbilical termination hubs and pig launchers. A range of new features is introduced such as the functionality to allow subsea inboard to outboard clamp transfer. A clamp can be installed as part of e.g. the manifold and later retrieved as part of the jumper, providing a new level of flexibility in installation and service. Another feature is a stroke-in system that allows access between the hubs in the retracted position, with the stroking tool in place. This enables a direct landing and stroke-in operation with the stroke-in cylinder pre-mounted on the installation vessel. The new tie-in system will also impact the overall SPS system with its compact design. A 30% reduced width compared to previous horizontal systems allows the branches on the manifold to be packed closer together to achieve lighter more compact designs.

June 16th, 0930-1000, Track 1@Peer GyntSubsea Processing for Leaner Fitter Remote Gas Field DevelopmentNino Fogliani, Technology Development Manager, Woodside EnergyAs oil and gas provinces mature and infrastructure proliferates, it becomes more cost-effective to develop fields by tying back using subsea facilities. However, the lengths of tiebacks can be limited by operational difficulties arising during the transportation of wellstream fluids over distance. For example, increased pressure drops leading to degraded production, hydrate blockages and/or wax deposition, or liquids management and slugging. But history demonstrates that subsea tiebacks produce significant reductions in capital expenditure and the consensus is now that cost pressures will lead to the emergence of true subsea factories achieving lean field developments compared to equivalent surface facility solutions. This paper presents the results of our subsea gas processing investigations – including cooling, separation, chemical injection and compression/pumping – to condition wellstream fluids for long distance subsea transportation. The objective is to simplify operations, removing surface facilities or replacing them with unmanned installations. Numerous benefits have been identified, and these are explained through gas processing case studies including subsea gas dehydration and gas cycling. It is clear that with only rudimentary processing, using simple and robust unit operations, wellstream fluids can be conditioned sufficiently for subsea transportation over hundreds of kilometres, even facilitating direct tieback to shore. This promises to radically change the current orthodoxy, leading to disruptive enhancement of offshore field developments and the emergence of leaner fitter solutions!

June 16th, 1000-1030, Track 1@Peer GyntTotal cost of ownership analysis in subsea value chainNina Jevnaker, Manager supply chain, category manager Subsea, Statoil ASAFacing industry challenges and increasing environmental focus, subsea has a great opportunity: Become the selected field development alternative based on cost efficiency and low carbon emissions. Total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis can be the tool we need to grab this opportunity: Total cost of ownership analysis enable better decisions and thereby directs focus on the most important improvement initiatives in our industry value chains. TCO is a methodology to identify and analyze all related cost (historical), often called life cycle costs, connected to a product, service or value chain. The reason is to ensure that we have a full picture to reveal cost drivers along the entire value chain and avoid sub-optimization in other parts. TCO can also be used to develop should-cost (future) for complex product/value chains like subsea. This is the key to future competitiveness. Statoil would like to share how we leverage this approach to set ambitious cost targets and key performance indicators. We would also like to share how TCO can contribute in the strategic development of the

subsea suppliers and supply chain through category strategy implementation. The subsea industry has to a limited extent collaborated to find industry improvement initiatives. A subsea industry TCO may be the key to identify such initiatives and make subsea the selected field development alternative. A subsea industry TCO requires contributions and collaboration from both technical and commercial competence across suppliers and operators.

June 16th, 1030-1100, Track 1@Peer GyntTuning subsea concepts and project execution for a competitive futureArne Moe Tvedt, Department Manager Subsea, Reinertsen ASWith the current oil price level and volatility of the market, many subsea field developments are put on hold. The subsea industry is presently shifting focus from technology development to cost reduction. Reinertsen’s ambition is to contribute to a subsea cost reduction in the range of 30 to 50 percent. There has been a remarkable cost increase for subsea field development, following the rise in oil prices for the past 15 years. Reinertsen’s major focus during the last years has been to reduce project costs. Together with other EPC-contractors and Statoil considerable efforts have been concentrated on eliminating non-value-adding activities, identify root causes, utilize market competition, perform standardization, simplify project logistic and improve project execution models. As a result, cost saves of 30 percent are projected for recent topside projects. These results are analyzed in terms of applicability to subsea developments. A key aspect is to rely on standard solutions, modules and interfaces instead of tailor-made systems. This will allow for re-use of solutions and result in less engineering as well as a simpler set of industry standards and technical requirements. Yet, the need for more compact and cost-efficient technology is acknowledged by allowing full freedom inside of standard modules, leaving it up to the industry’s creativity to innovate solutions. The importance of system engineering and flow assurance in early phase is emphasized. Several examples with regard to simplifications are described, including control systems, power systems, SPS and SURF. Furthermore, an example is given from subsea processing where the dimensions and complexity of modules are reduced. The associated cost reductions are presented for the above examples.

MARINE OPERATIONS AND IMR

June 16th, 0930-1000, Track 2@KlokkeklangDiverless outer sheaht repair solution for flexible pipesGry Karin Vestbøstad, VP Integrity Management Services, 4SubseaCutting costs and extending the service life of assets are receiving increased attention in light of the current oil prices. This is also highly relevant for flexible risers, and the considerable riser replacement costs initiate both life extension projects and riser repairs. Damage to the outer sheath represents a significant risk to the integrity of flexible risers as it may lead to corrosion of the armoring wires. A damage may be detected by e.g. visual inspections, periodic

annulus testing or by a permanent annulus monitoring system. If detected at an early stage, mitigation actions may be implemented, reducing the risk of continuous corrosion and subsequent riser replacement. 4Subsea have over the years developed and installed several outer sheath repair solutions for topside-, diver- and ROV installation. Special attention has recently been given to the development of an improved and cost efficient ROV installable repair solution with low installation time. An actual case is presented where an outer sheath damage was detected at 300m water depth. Due to the water depth, the ROV installable clamp solution was selected. The clamp and ROV tooling were fabricated and tested in less than 8 weeks, and testing proved a pressure holding capacity significantly higher than the required test pressure. The clamp was installed without affecting the normal operation of the flexible pipe. Installation time offshore was less than 2 hours, providing a highly cost efficient permanent repair solution for the flexible pipe.

June 16th, 1000-1030, Track 2@KlokkeklangPermanent deployed & internet piloted ROV system from shoreBjarte Langeland, CEO, Stinger Technology ASStavanger, Norway – A Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) spent 19 months operating continuously in what is believed to be the longest uninterrupted deployment of a single ROV of any class. The operation began in November 2013 as an experimental emergency preparedness solution for the offshore oil & gas sector. The “Resident Micro ROV” was deployed off the coast of Stavanger and piloted via an internet link from Stinger’s offices. The trials ended on May 20, 2015, and significantly outlasted any of the expectations. The goal for the project was to test the system’s limits, determine the implications of long-term continuous use underwater, and ultimately to prove the ROV as an extended or resident emergency preparedness solution. Having an “on-call” ROV system can significantly reduce the time and resources needed for an ROV operation, especially in emergency situations when every minute counts. While the ROV is a ‘remotely operated’ vehicle, standard operations require the pilot to stay fairly close to the system. Eliminating the need for the operator to be physically near the surface unit has been a long term goal at Stinger.

June 16th, 1030-1100, Track 2@KlokkeklangCost savings using Manned Underwater Intervention method in suitable water depths.Rolf Røssland, Managing Director, NUI ASManned Underwater Operations (Diving) has been a well-proven method for effective work under water since the start-up of the offshore oil and gas industry. Some of the most profitable fields on the NCS was installed using diving services based on oil prices below 11 dollar/barrel. For some years, there was in Norway much negative focus on diving, and at the same time, the operators focused on new technology to reduce diving depth and to operate deeper. This led to reduced volume of diving and some of the operators stated that diving was to be avoided if possible. This resulted in new and

28

expensive technology used even for shallow water installation and maintenance. Installation and maintenance using ROV very often requires more planning and vessel days than diving operations, and thereby higher total cost. Mean time the diving industry, especially in the North Sea, has improved its procedures, equipment and Dive support Vessels (DSV). The global oil and gas industry as well as international and domestic regulators consider diving as a sustainable intervention method, and on the NCS its HSE statistic is compatible to any other activity in the offshore industry. Today the focus on cost effective solutions are paramount. With oil prices below 50 dollar and high cost for developing new fields, some of the discovered fields are not economically justifiable to develop with the current cost level, but might be if simpler technology and approved intervention method is used. Using diver friendly technology from modern Diving Support Vessels in combination with ROV might be what makes the field profitable to develop. The open question is: With the focus on safe and cost-effective solutions, we all are obliged to consider use proven and cost effective solutions where applicable, and leave the advanced technology and intervention method, as well as the aim of standardization for fields where it is required? Statoil has through experience harvest benefits of combining modern technology on vessels and ROV with manned underwater intervention (Diving), regarding efficiency, cost and safety. To catch the benefits, it is important to evaluate combined interventions at an early stage in both new and modifications projects.Co-author: Pål Atle Solheimsnes, Statoil


June 16th, 0930-1000, Track 3@TroldtogNext generation control systems with backwards compatibilityKarstein Berge Kristiansen, Key Expert Subsea Communication Systems, Siemens ASPurpose of this paper is to present a solution feasible for both new installations and upgrading of existing subsea installations. Proposed next generation control system could utilize both fiber optical and copper cable infrastructure, and regardless of chosen implementation increase communication bandwidth between subsea and topside installation. Benefits with the next generation control system are the use of open standards for interfaces both topside and subsea, avoiding vendor lock down for the operators. The proposed control system is scalable during the total lifetime of the system, assuring the opportunity to upgrade and reconfigure the control system with new units without having to reconfigure or upgrade existing installed units. Use of open standards would give financial benefits with lower financial cost for the control system during the expected lifetime of the system. Cost regarding obsolescence management would also decrease due to use of standard interfaces. This control system solution gives operators ownership of the communication link between topside and subsea making it easier to mix subsea units from different vendors without establishing a separate communication link for each vendor. To be able to use existing subsea units with non standard interfaces without upgrading them the proposed next generation control system assure

backwards communication compatibility by including intelligent jumper cables. Different implementation of the intelligent jumper cable exist assuring backwards compatibility for a wide range of existing subsea units, and other types of intelligent jumper cables could be provided. Compatibility for future requirements/standards is also possible based on the standard interfaces provided and the use of intelligent jumper cables as described in this abstract. Key Words: Open standards, backwards compatibility, intelligent jumper cables, upgradable during lifetime, cost saving during expected lifetim. June 16th, 1000-1030, Track 3@TroldtogSubsea Electric Systems: Past, Present and FutureAndrea Rubio, Product Manager, OneSubseaAll-electric subsea production control systems have been around since the late nineties. We have developed and tested various prototypes using a rigid product development and qualification program. In 2006, project execution began for the first all-electric subsea production system, consisting of 2-off subsea trees with associated production controls systems, and intervention workover and control systems (IWOCS). This all-electric field has been in production since 2008. A third electric tree is scheduled for installation in 2016, and will include a novelty in the industry—an all-electric surface-controlled subsurface safety valve (ESCSSV). Future subsea systems will require additional and new capabilities compared to today’s electro-hydraulic systems. A key design priority in the development of subsea systems is to reduce the size and weight of equipment for very deep water. An all-electric solution has the potential to provide better condition monitoring while reducing weight and improving HSE due to zero discharges. In this presentation we will discuss the history, current offerings, and future benefits – including operational performance, flexibility, HSE, and cost – of the all-electric system. The goal is twofold: to provide an understanding of currently existing electrical components, and to present the all-electric system as an alternative product offering for the subsea industry of the future.

June 16th, 1030-1100, Track 3@TroldtogSubsea All-Electric InitiativeDaniel Abicht, Principal Engineer Subsea Production Systems, StatoilA Subsea All-Electric initiative has been initiated to prove the feasibility of flexible, cost efficient subsea production system solutions. While most of the main technology elements have been around for a while with according operational experience, full market and operator acceptance seems to be a challenge. Using a revised approach the Statoil Subsea All-Electric initiative intends to overcome existing thresholds. This contribution will focus on explaining fundamental features of the subsea all-electric technology along with the key business drivers and associated risks. It will also provide a vision for future subsea production system solutions funded on today’s state of art while taking into account current market and development trends.


June 16th, 1345-1415, Track 1@Peer GyntSubsea Diagnostics and Prognostics Technologies for Improved Equipment Reliability and Production AvailabilityMohan G. Kulkarni, Subsea Engineering Associate, ExxonMobil Upstream Research CompanyIntegrity and reliability of subsea equipment are critical for ensuring continuous hydrocarbon production and processing operations. Specifically, subsea production control systems are well known for their low reliability which can result in deferred hydrocarbon production. The use of complex production-critical processing equipment continues to grow at a steady pace within the subsea industry. As a consequence, improved equipment condition monitoring and, more importantly, subsea diagnostics as well as prognostics tools are needed for integrity management of complex subsea equipment. Such tools can effectively convert equipment condition data into operations/maintenance actions and therefore can assist in planning for subsea intervention which typically are resource-intensive. ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company has conducted a rigorous study on diagnostics and prognostics technologies that have potential to improve the integrity and reliability of subsea control systems and rotating machinery. Such technologies include new sensor instrumentation, use of existing sensor data to improve equipment troubleshooting, data processing algorithms, and fault detection, location and prediction tools. This presentation will provide an overview of the high consequence and high frequency failure modes for subsea control systems and subsea rotating machinery. We will identify new ways of using existing subsea sensor data and new sensors to provide the information necessary for detecting key failure modes. We will outline implementation requirements for new sensor instrumentation for Greenfield and Brownfield applications. Further, we will summarize the key fault detection, location and prediction tools for the key failure modes. Finally, we will discuss opportunities for industry collaboration on subsea diagnostics and prognostics technology development. Co-author: Kamran Gul Paul M. Sommerfield

June 16th, 1415-1445, Track 1@Peer GyntSolving the wet gas compression challenge from the inside outJørgen Corneliussen, Engineering Manager, Subsea Power & Processing, GE Oil & GasSubsea compression technology is still in the early days of development. With the first two subsea compression projects deployed in 2015, significant efforts are on-going in the industry in order to further develop and optimize technology. The focus of GE Oil & Gas’s development has been on developing smaller, more reliable and cost competitive subsea compression solutions. Since 2010, GE has been working on the next generation subsea compression system, aiming at solving the challenge by considering the fundamentals of how to compress wet gas more efficiently. GE Oil & Gas has taken a fundamental step towards solving the wet gas compression challenge.

June 16th, 1445-1515, Track 1@Peer GyntHow to select the separation solution to maximize the economics of a subsea developmentAmandine Idrac, Senior Engineer, Process, FMC Kongsberg Subsea ASGas/liquid separation is a key technology to enable and maximize the value proposition of the new offshore developments. It is effective in increasing production and reserves while minimizing operational flow assurance issues such as hydrate formation and slugging. It also enables production of complex reservoirs containing heavy, viscous oil and low pressures. Subsea Gas/Liquid separation has a significant impact on the topside processing and typically reduces the requirements on the topside 1st stage separator and thus contributes to simplify and de-bottleneck the topside system. Gas/liquid separation with liquid pumping can also be an attractive alternative to multiphase boosting and gas compression. Driven by these motivations, the industry has developed gas/liquid separation technologies for the past 15 to 10 years, resulting in a filled toolbox of technical solutions to choose from. But how does one select the optimal solution for a given field, resulting in the best return on investment and increased asset value? This presentation will address the technology selection options and premises to maximize the economics of a subsea development. It is important to understand how the selection impacts performance, risks, costs and ultimately the attractiveness of deepwater subsea processing. Further it will give an update on the latest technology development for gas/liquid separation, including FMC’s ongoing qualification program of a deep water separation concept, the MultiPipe.

June 16th, 1515-1545, Track 1@Peer GyntSubsea Processing JIP - Standardization of Subsea PumpingKristin Nergaard Berg, Group Leader Subsea Technology, DNV GLDecember 11 2015, Petrobras, Woodside, Shell and Statoil, together with DNV GL, kicked off the Joint Industry Project (JIP) to standardize within subsea processing. Initially, the JIP will focus on standardization of subsea pumping, an important enabler for a profitable and reliable subsea future. Our industry is looking towards standardization for ensuring profitability and reliable technology. Over the recent years, experience has grown with subsea processing developments as Total’s Pazfloor project, Petrobras’ Marlim project and Statoil’s Troll Pilot, Tordis, Åsgard and Gullfaks. This experience may serve as input to standardized solutions for the future. Equal to more conventional solutions, subsea processing must prove to be cost efficient in order to be seen as an attractive solution. At the same time, subsea processing will be an enabler for increased oil recovery. The objective of this JIP is to reduce cost in a lifetime perspective for subsea

processing, starting off with subsea pumping. The JIP will initially focus on subsea pumping through two phases, where the directions for the work are set in Phase 1 and the details and subsea pumping guideline are defined in Phase 2 Phase 1 will establish a common ambition among the participants for achievable benefits from standardization. A Functional Description for subsea pumping will be developed and a specific Plan for Standardisation for subsea pumping will be defined. Building on Phase 1, the JIP will continue with development of detailed descriptions of standardized solutions for subsea pumping. The developed standardization will be captured in a guideline and the intention is to issue the guideline as a DNV GL Recommended Practice for industry use. This presentation will give a status for the JIP work 2/3rds into Phase 1 and provide insight into the plans ahead.

June 16th, 1345-1415, Track 2@KlokkeklangSubsea separation – an undervalued tool for Increased Oil Recovery (IOR)?Ove Fritz Jahnsen, Manager, SSP Eastern Region Sales, FMC Kongsberg Subsea ASOver the past 10 to 15 years subsea processing has been globally established as a market segment within the subsea development arena, and subsea separation has been a vital part of this development with Troll C, Tordis SSB, Pazflor and others. The track record of these installations have been outstanding, some of them with documented uptime of more than 99%. Still focus in the market seems to turn towards more ‘clean’ pumping or compression solutions at a time where the boosting technology options increases, while separation seems to be linked to more complexity and higher capex and are often not included as an option in evaluating a field. Still, subsea separation has some distinguished qualities that cannot be matched by other IOR methods. The more obvious scenarios are linked to flow assurance issues such as hydrate or slugging conditions in a field, but in addition come fields with very low production pressure or very long transportation distance to shore. Equally important is the operators need for flexibility in the design to cover for uncertainty in the production over the life of field and to count for future unexpected situations. This could be for a greenfield, redevelopment of a brownfield, or in general uncertainties about future sand or water production. Subsea separation is a simple way of mitigating these uncertainties, while at the same time increasing the operational envelope of the overall system compared to a pump or compressor alone. The paper will present examples of how separation can hugely add value compared to boosting alone by using simple, robust technology, resulting in more predictability an increased Net Present Value for the operator.

June 16th, 1415-1545, Track 2@KlokkeklangLean DocumentationJan Arthur Grip Nilsen, Engineering Director, Norway, Subsea 7From late 2010 and onwards, the increase in activity in the industry resulted in a massive need for manning up in all areas. This led to experts being in demand and diluted, we needed to build safety nets to cope with the added risks. We started to spend more money on

checking and double checking each other. This quality check has probably been instrumental in getting to where we are today, but now, when we find ourselves needing to scale back on the activity level, there is an expectation that we become less diluted in the industry and we need to understand if this significantly changes the need for the very costly second opinion. We have analyzed the cost benefit of the tail end of documentation, the external reviews. The results: For some of the key documents, we use up to 30% of our resources in the tail end process of responding to external reviews, discussing second opinions and revising the documents. However, the changes that come of this are classified as none, insignificant or minor changes. Do we still need the same safety nets as we did a few years ago? Yearly external review cost for Subsea 7 Norway is in the range of NOK 100 mill. Include Operator costs, and the total cost picture is possibly in the range of NOK 200-300mill per year. Our analyses show that when you get the front end quality right there is a significant potential in resetting the heavy tail end activity on documentation. We have developed a high quality knowledge-based industry. Now we need to adapt to the changed conditions without weakening these strengths but by re-setting costs to match current risk.

June 16th, 1445-1515, Track 2@KlokkeklangSubsea Sampling on the Critical Path of Flow AssuranceShailesh Rathod, Product Champion, SchlumbergerIncreasing water depths require longer tiebacks, resulting in reservoir fluids experiencing a range of pressure-volume-temperature (PVT) variations during the lengthy journey from the deepwater reservoir to the surface processing facility. The subsequent changes in fluid compositions as a result of this elongated journey can lead to many flow assurance threats, including scale, hydrate, wax, and asphaltene depositions. In addition, produced fluids from different reservoirs are often commingled at the manifolds and mixed in the common flowlines, thus further complicating the correct understanding of produced fluids. These flow assurance challenges can impact the operational plans, contingency plans and remediation programs. Availability of representative fluid samples to characterize phase behaviors and anticipate associated flow problems becomes a keystone for flow assurance strategy when determining how production facilities can be operated to prevent or manage these problems. The hardware technologies developed in subsea sampling have enabled the collection of representative fluid samples directly from the point of interest. This advanced sample transport and analysis has ensured the supply of representative fluid data into flow assurance assessment. This paper demonstrates in detail the evolution of subsea sampling technology, as well as explains the benefits of representative subsea multiphase sampling and the beneficial outcomes enabled when combined with flow assurance modeling. Additionally, this paper provides an overview of the flow assurance drivers experienced from the point-of-view of a subsea services and solutions provider over the last decade, and how these drivers have influenced the evolution of its subsea sampling technology.

June 16th, 1515-1545, Track 2@KlokkeklangFlexible Riser Integrity Assessment with advanced MEC-FIT techniqueAndreas Boenisch, Group Managing Director, Innospection LtdCorrosion is a constant challenge especially in ageing subsea assets. For flexible risers, the complex layer structure of corresponds to challenges in the integrity evaluation. Potential cracking in the outer and inner armour layers is a critical integrity issue and solutions for crack detection is increasing in demand. One flexible riser integrity assessment technology is the electromagnetic MEC-FIT technique. Originally developed to inspect flexible risers with 37° wire angle structure, this technique has been further developed to tackle challenges such as inspecting flexible risers with a 55° wiring angle structure and having tight crack-like defects and a thick outer sheath of 15.3mm. Prior to the inspection campaign, the capability of the MEC-FIT technique was successfully verified on a simulated test sample with various flaw types including EDM cracks in 45° and 90° angle. Blind test results showed that all through-cracks in all the layers as well as part-depth cracks in the outer layer were detected. The detectable crack size in relation to the wire thickness is 30% for the near side top layer, 60-70% for the far side top layer and 100% for both the near and far side of the bottom layer. The technique was deployed onto the asset using the MEC-Hug Crawler tool which was rebuilt to enable circumferential scanning of the 55° wire angle structure and for deployment by an inspection-class ROV from the installation. The experience from this successful inspection as well as other flexible riser inspection operations in the North Sea will be presented.

SUBSEA COMPLETION, INTERVENTION AND DRILLING

June 16th, 1345-1415, Track 3@Troldtog7” Subsea VXT StandardizationHans Egil Vangås, Advisor Well Technology Subsea Wellheads and Xmas Trees, StatoilIn 2012 Statoil’s extensive in-house subsea experience was used to analyse total subsea well costs with an objective was to endeavour significant cost reduction through simplification and standardization for subsea wells without compromising HSE. Through this work a change to 7” VXT (Vertical Xmas-tree) from Statoil’s long practice of using 7” HXT (Horizontal Xmas-tree) for NCS subsea wells was identified a major cost reduction potential. A strategy for development and implementation of concentric bore design 7” VXT was sanctioned by Statoil Management Dec. 2012. Typical business drivers: • Reduced CAPEX through XT installation by vessel rather than using rig. • Reduced OPEX through XT replacement by vessel rather than mobilizing a rig. • Reduced well fatigue loading by landing BOP on wellhead rather than on top of XT. • XT replacement without pulling the well completion. • Reduced operational risk through fewer heavy lifts offshore. Business case work documented a cost saving potential of 35 MUSD and elimination of 35 rig days for a typical subsea well during field life time, creating a 0.8-1.0 BUSD short term Statoil business case which was presented at Statoil’s capital markets day in London February 2014. The standardization on 7” VXT for NCS

will pave the way for additional future cost savings, typically through cross-field utilization. In 2013 the design and technology qualification was initiated with four major subsea equipment Vendors (Aker Solutions, FMC, GE Oil & Gas and OneSubsea). The concentric 7” VXT bore ID will allow for reuse of Work Over Systems acquired for 7”HXT’s. The Tubing Hanger is locked in the wellhead and has an annulus bore sealing device. The first user is accomplished through the Johan Sverdrup contract awarded FMC September 2015.

June 16th, 1415-1445, Track 3@TroldtogSuccessful use of Non-Original Equipment Manufacturer in the recertification of subsea well control equipmentPerry Kopperstad / Eivind Håvarstein, Principal Subsea & Well Systems Engineer & CEO WellPartner AS, Dong E&P NorgeHistorically, the five yearly recertification and major overhaul of subsea well control equipment is performed by the original equipment manufacturers (OEM) due to strong aftermarket position and access to original documentation/specification. DNV GL Recommended Practice DNV-RP-E101 ‘Recertification of Well Control Equipment’ permits the use of non-OEMs for such activities. Dong E&P Norge invited both OEM and Non-OEM Contractors to tender for the five yearly recertification of its HP Riser System. Non-OEM Contractor Wellpartner in cooperation with Head Energy Multicontrol (HEM) won the contract based on an evaluation of technical ability and competence, quality, risk, and cost. DnV GL was awarded the contract for the third party verification. WellPartner was responsible for the overall management of the work, assembly and testing, inspections and refurbishment, while HEM was responsible for the analyses and fatigue re-assessment. The original delivered documentation, data collected during offshore operations, and available field data formed the basis for the work. All activities were performed without any incidents, and no variation orders were issued. As part of the activities an increased knowledge regarding Vortex Induced Vibration (VIV) and wave induced fatigue was gained, indicating that the latter is the largest fatigue damage contributor in shallow water applications for this HP Riser System. A key success factor for the work was the close and constructive cooperation experienced between all involved parties with great willingness to share experiences and knowledge. The work was completed with DNV-GL issuance of the Recertification Certificate of Compliance (RCC) for the entire HP Riser system. June 16th, 1445-1515, Track 3@TroldtogIndustry challenge or opportunity? Consequences of edition 4 of NORSOK U-001 subsea production system.Harald Holden, Lead Engineer, 4SubseaA new edition of NORSOK U-001 Subsea production systems was released in October 2015. 4Subsea has been involved in numerous subsea delivery projects as an independent advisor. NORSOK U-001 is based on the ISO 13628 series of standards. Different design philosophies between ISO 13628-4 and 13628-7 has led to challenges both for the operator and for the subsea equipment suppliers. A

common system approach for the design of subsea equipment and riser systems is provided in the new edition of NORSOK U-001. Subsea systems are subjected to external loads from the riser/BOP system. Rated pressure based design as prescribed by 13628-4 does not include these external loads. A new set of design load classes are proposed. These are in some cases significantly larger than previous design loads. 4Subsea have measured riser and wellhead response on several drilling campaigns. A comparison of design load classes and actual measurements will be presented. The new knowledge on load magnitude may pose challenges for existing equipment. For design of new equipment the standard proposes a set of material requirements and design criteria that allows higher utilization of the structural capacity inherent in the design. This represents an opportunity which will be discussed. The new edition of NORSOK U-001 provides an opportunity for the industry to standardize design, material and fabrication of new subsea systems. The presentation will highlight our perception of the consequences for the industry, both challenges and opportunities. Some specific examples will be presented. Co-author: Sveinung Eriksrud

June 16th, 1515-1545, Track 3@TroldtogPressure Balanced Safety JointBernt-Olav Tømmermo, Specialist Product Engineer, FMC TechnologiesSafe operation is fundamental and a prerequisite for all subsea well operations. With an intensified demand for well interventions on mature and live wells globally, there is an increased need for improved system and component safety functions. Traditional weak links (safety joints) have been used in completion and workover riser systems, operated from floating vessels for many years. Historically, the main purpose of a weak link has been limited to prevent loss of well barriers. Protection of environment, rig and personnel has been considered secondary priorities. The Pressure Balanced Safety Joint is designed to increase the safety and operating envelope of well interventions and drilling operations in the case of unintended operational events. The Pressure Balanced Safety Joint will become a critical safety element within these systems and replace traditional Weak Links. The Pressure Balanced Safety Joint provides overload protection of both primary and secondary barrier envelopes, protects personnel and rig from riser recoil effects, prevents hydrocarbon spill to the environment and increase the time to perform a successful emergency quick disconnect. The Pressure Balanced Safety Joint maintains riser tension after activation and has multi-redundancy on critical functions. The presentation will introduce the Pressure Balanced Safety Joint in a traditional workover system and highlight the benefits this new technology provides with regards to overall safety and increased operating envelopes.

Testing of first ever subsea 12.5MW vertical high-speed motorcompressorBigi Manuele, Technical Leader, GE Oil & GasThis presentation discusses the results of GE Oil & Gas’ motorcompressor test campaign to validate the functionality of the full pilot compression station at Ormen Lange. The motorcompressor represents the first fully marinized motorcompressor unit ever built. This unit, which was in development for four years, was designed for a specific project at a GE Oil & Gas’ customer site (Nyhamna, Norway) and was fully submerged in a water pit during the test. The pilot unit was a 12.5MW (16763HP) integrated motorcompressor, which runs up to 10.5krpm in a vertical configuration. The test included the following activities: Static-dynamic tuning of the Active Magnetic Bearings (AMBs); Mechanical running test; Compressor performance test; Motocompressor full load test; Electric motor performance test; Overall cooling system check; Test in plant upset condition; Maximum power test; Maximum speed test; 72h performance test. During testing, efforts were taken to tune the process control dynamics in order to increase machine protection during transient operations. Process dynamics were also tested taking into account the AMB’s limited capacity to counteract external loads in the diverse machine operative modes. Specific emphasis while testing was dedicated to understanding the influence of the AMBs setting on the rotordynamic behavior of the machine, especially when operating on saturated gas. During the test, the issues discovered were addressed through root cause analysis and adjustments were implemented. The test campaign was completed successfully and has fully confirmed the functionality, robustness and reliability of this prototype unit operating in both normal service and upset conditions. In order to increase and optimize the operating envelope of the motorcompressor, the development and testing of an increased capacity axial active magnetic has been finalized.


All-electric technology status and gaps - Including OPEX and CAPEX SPS and Process system benefit examplesEinar Winther-Larssen, Concept Line Manager All Electric, Aker SolutionsAvailability of solutions, products and technology for All electric systems and different system comparisons to indicate the benefit both in OPEX and CAPEX cost going all electric vs conventional electrohydraulic As the current subsea production systems are struggling to meet the cost challenges in today’s environment, the need for a suitable, flexible and cost efficient technology has emerged. All-electric systems and electrical actuation have this potential capability. It is believed that electrical systems will play a key role in the future for the development of greener, more reliable and better maintainable subsea systems. This technology can expand brownfield applications utilizing existing infrastructures, reduce the OPEX of the field, provide better control and monitoring, increase the oil recovery and be a cost efficient solution for both regular prospects and for deeper and longer offset projects. The paper will show OPEX and CAPEX cost comparisons to indicate the benefit going all electric vs conventional electrohydraulic on Process and SPS systems. This paper will also show how Aker Solutions has gradually developed and delivered technology and new solutions to solve the main challenges for all electric systems and created a portfolio of products and solutions to secure high quality, lower cost and short lead times for future subsea systems. The paper will touch on gaps and areas of technology that still need to be solved to enable a complete all electric system delivery.

SUBSEA COMPLETION, INTERVENTION AND DRILLING

Applying ROV based Workover and Control Systems to achieve more flexible and effective XT installationsSteffan Kruse Lindsø, Project Manager, OceaneeringTraditional Workover and Control Systems may pose operational challenges with respect to open water umbilicals. Heavy equipment, such as umbilical reels and skidding systems, take up considerable deck space. Weather and sea current limitations can reduce the number of available operation days. In addition special handling systems onboard the rig are often personnel intensive and require special training. By introducing an ROV based Workover and Control System there are potentially significant cost and schedule saving opportunities. The majority of rigs and vessels already have ROV systems in place thereby providing power and communication between topside and subsea. Utilizing these available capacities in an ROV carried system will allow installation, control and testing of the various XT functions as well as provide a communication link to the Subsea Control Modules. From a field development perspective this solution can offer a more flexible installation. Freeing up the rig while a vessel performs batch installation of trees is one example. Reducing the number of heavy lifts and the number of personnel required for the operation will also reduce HSE exposure. This paper describes a field proven, compact ROV Powerskid solution for XT installation and testing. It summarizes the experiences and lessons learned during several offshore campaigns and also look at the operational benefits and future potential within this technology segment.

UTF THANKS ALL PARTNERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT IN 2016!

The Underwater Technology Foundation (UTF) is a non-commercial entity established in 1980 when several large oil-related companies joined forces to arrange the Underwater Technology Conference in Bergen.

The foundation’s goal is to promote increased knowledge of the subsea sector. This is achieved by hosting the conference and giving contributions to research and training at university level. UTF offers a grant available to applicants in

need of financial support for a subsea related research or training project. The foundation would like to see more applicants for the grant, and encourages anyone with a relevant project to apply.
