- 2. Introduction & Key Themes • Case Study • Thinking Ahead 2 Sense. Understand. Perform. • Industry Rationalisation • Regulatory Framework
- 3. Industry Rationalisation What Happened? What’s Being Implemented? • Industry & Local Initiatives • Making Sense 3 Sense. Understand. Perform. • Oil Price • Change Management
- 4. Context – OGA UKCS Governance
- 5. Context – O&G UK UKCS Trade Body
- 6. UKCS Gas Field Case Study Sense. Understand. Perform. • Pushing Production on Ageing Assets • Topside Sand Management
- 7. Southern North Sea Gas Assets Background Objectives & Case Study • Significant Asset Base of Production Hubs & NUI’s. Infrastructure well established. • Assets Produce 15% of the UK’s daily gas demand. • The group’s strategic focus is on the exploitation of marginal fields. “Through active Sand & Corrosion Management, the adoption of technology and integrating of workscopes we will optimise production & safeguard plant integrity.”
- 8. Objectives & Challenge Workscope Objectives • Support production uplift • Reduce costs • Increase safety Challenges & Tasks • Provide assurances against any erosion associated with ramping up production. • Potential velocity or “erosion hotspots” identified for additional management. Long term view taken. • Need to protect business capability and people. No LOC’s with increased production.
- 9. Client Value Created Achievements Enhanced At Risk Sensing 9 • Automated systems, reducing effort • Live data streams, accurate wall thickness measurements • Minimised risk to operators, no need for manual spot checks • No LOC’s to plant on implementation • Increased uptime and operational efficiency.

- 11. Development Workflow 1 Visualisation Tools to Integrate & Realise Insight
- 12. Development Workflow 2 Sand Risk Evaluation – Dashboard & Logic Programming
- 13. 13 Sense. Understand. Perform. Key Messages: Pushing Production: Achievable benefits are being realised Value Creation: Aligned to UK Gov’s basin strategy What next: Need for automation, integration & understanding
Editor's Notes
- Company Initiated Government Initiated Group Initiated
- Task Based Around: major initiatives such as development of asset specific erosion management strategies detailed operational procedures erosion/corrosion risk assessments, including modelling of flow across all fluid networks assessment of local erosion risk, Installation of new solids monitoring equipment and relocation of existing ones. The corrosion and material’s team is currently responsible for the erosion forum, support of erosion management strategy and development, maintenance and tracking of solids monitoring.
- Basis of design is to collaborate data, and utilise the power of multiple sources to get a more accurate overview of the risk of sand.
