Four frac tank explosions occurred over two incidents due to static electricity buildup during air/foam assisted flowback operations. Static was generated as oil, water, gas, and sediment flowed through pipes at high velocity into lined, non-grounded frac tanks. This prevented static discharge and led to sparks when the electric charge jumped the gap between charged liquids in the tank and protruding downcomers. To prevent future explosions, operators should use open-top gas buster systems to reduce fluid velocity, allow static dissipation, and prevent accumulation of flammable gas mixtures at tank hatches.

We are all familiar with the production systems through which reservoir fluids flow to reach our processing facilities. This is a journey characterized by complex multiphase flow phenomena that govern pressure and temperature changes along the way. A monumental amount of research and development work has been invested towards better understanding multiphase flow behavior over the past fifty years. Yet, many challenges remain as we strive to optimize ever more complex production systems fraught with difficult flow assurance issues. Just how good is the science? And more importantly, how does this impact our bottom line? This lecture will discuss key concepts of multiphase flow leading to the current “state-of-the-art” models used today. Looking towards the future, the science must be advanced to address areas of greatest uncertainty and align with trends in field development strategies. Recommendations will be presented covering the top 5 areas of research necessary for these purposes. The economic impact of multiphase operations will be illustrated using two examples that provide insight towards maximizing asset value.

The document discusses several options for boosting the output of a 230 MW combined cycle power plant using a 155 MW gas turbine. It evaluates seven cases: 1) using an evaporative cooler to precool the gas turbine inlet air, 2) using a mechanical chiller, 3) using an absorption chiller, 4) injecting steam into the gas turbine, 5) injecting water into the gas turbine, 6) partially supplementary firing the heat recovery steam generator, and 7) fully supplementary firing the heat recovery steam generator. Case 1 of using an evaporative cooler increased plant output by 6.65 MW and improved heat rate by 15 Btu/kWh, but had a high capital cost of $180/kW.
4 modeling and control of distillation column in a petroleum processnazir1988
This document describes the modeling and simulation of a condensate distillation column in a petroleum process. It presents a calculation procedure to model the column based on an energy balance structure using reflux rate and boilup rate as inputs to control distillate purity and bottom product impurity. A nonlinear dynamic model of the column is developed and simulated in MATLAB. The simulation shows the column can maintain product quality under normal operations but quality decreases with disturbances like changes in feed rate. A reduced-order linear model is then developed for use in model-reference adaptive control to improve disturbance rejection.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

The proper function of the integrated circuit (IC) in an inhibiting electromagnetic environment has always been a serious concern throughout the decades of revolution in the world of electronics, from disjunct devices to today’s integrated circuit technology, where billions of transistors are combined on a single chip. The automotive industry and smart vehicles in particular, are confronting design issues such as being prone to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electronic control devices calculate incorrect outputs because of EMI and sensors give misleading values which can prove fatal in case of automotives. In this paper, the authors have non exhaustively tried to review research work concerned with the investigation of EMI in ICs and prediction of this EMI using various modelling methodologies and measurement setups.

5.5.2 Hydrocarbon Processing and Export
5.5.2.1 Separation
Hydrocarbon flow from the producing wells will be received at either the High pressure (HP)
or Low Pressure (LP) production manifolds on the DUQ platform and transferred to the two
platform separation trains for separation into oil, gas and water phases. Each separation train
will include a two-phase (gas from liquids) HP separator in series with a three-phase LP
separator and coalescer. Table 5.11 presents the design operating specifications for the
separators. Wells on test will run via an additional test manifold and separator.
Table 5.11 Separator Design Operating Specifications
Pressure (barg) Temperature (
O
C)
HP Separator 29 barg 40 to 55
LP Separator 12 barg 40 to 58
The separation trains will be designed to process up to:
316 Mbpd of oil;•
•
•
•
350 MMscfd of high-pressure gas;
225 MMscfd low-pressure gas; and
131 Mbpd of produced water.
The majority of the gas present in the produced fluids will “flash off” in the HP Separator. This
gas will be routed to the gas compression and dehydration system for further processing.
The liquid hydrocarbon phase from the HP separator will be routed to the LP separator for
further separation into oil and water phases. Produced oil from the LP separator will flow into
the oil booster pumps, across the bridge and into the coalescer located on the PCWU
platform. Thereafter it will pass to the main oil line (MOL) pumps. From here, it will be
exported to the onshore terminal via the two Azeri Project 30” export oil pipelines. Produced
water will be routed to the produced water treatment system and then to the water injection
system.
5.5.2.2 Gas Processing
Gas removed from the HP separator will be passed to the PCWU platform for treatment prior
to export onshore via the Azeri 28” gas line. Treatment will involve gas cooling and
dehydration to remove water. Gas removed from the fluids in the LP separator will be cooled
and compressed via flash gas compression before being co-mingled with the HP gas
upstream of the dehydration column (tri-ethelyne glycol (TEG) contactor). Final dehydration
will involve use of glycol to remove any residual moisture to prevent hydrate formation and
corrosion within the gas export pipeline. Used glycol will be recovered, treated in a glycol
regeneration package and recycled. Water vapour generated in the package will be
condensed and routed to the closed drains drum. Following final dehydration, the combined
gas streams will be compressed to export pressure by 2 x 175 MMscfd electric driven
compressors.
Unlike the Azeri facilities, associated gas from Phase 3 will not be re-injected into the
reservoir for disposal or pressure support purposes. A portion of the treated associated gas
will however, be taken off and used as fuel gas on the platforms and for gas lift in producing
wells.

2 Gas turbine design rates for power generation and water injection provided for both iso conditions (28MW

Fuel gas will be diverted from the HP gas process train downstream of the main export
compressor. It will be passed on to the fuel gas system on the PCWU platform where liquid
condensate will be removed in the fuel gas knock out (KO) drum and returned to the LP
separator train for processing. Gas will then be heated and filtered prior to use.
Under normal operations, the base fuel gas load will be approximately 50,000 Sm3
/hr
(46 MMscfd) based on four gas turbine power generators and three turbine driven water
injection pumps operating at full capacity plus nominal usage by other fuel gas users.
Maximum design capacity will allow for temporary operation of eight gas turbines plus
auxiliary fuel gas users and the fuel gas KO drum will be able to provide sufficient gas
inventory for automatic changeover of the gas turbine generators to diesel fuel in the event of
loss of fuel gas.
Facilities will be provided to enable the import of gas onto the platform fuel gas system
directly from the gas export line if required.
Gas Lift
Gas lift increases production flow-rate in low-pressure production wells and all production
wells will be fitted with gas lift completion equipment. Gas lift will be required after the third
year of production although it may be required for some wells from start up.
Gas for gas lift service, will be diverted from the HP stream downstream of the main export
compressors. Maximum well injection rates will not exceed 6 MMscfd per well and average
injection rates are expected to be 4 MMscfd per well.
5.5.2.3 Production Chemicals
A range of chemicals will be required to aid the production process, inhibit corrosion of
equipment, prevent the build up of scale, and to assist hydrocarbon export. AIOC has a
policy to limit chemical use and where use is essential, only selected chemicals of known low
toxicity (i.e. OCNS Category E or D or those approved under the Project’s Design Standards)
will, as far as practicable, be used. Chemicals to be used will largely be the same as those
adopted for the Azeri Project wherever possible. The chemical systems will be continually
evaluated and modified as necessary depending on specific operating conditions.
No production chemicals used will be discharged from the platforms to the marine
environment under normal operating conditions. Any water-soluble chemicals used in the
produced water system will normally be re-injected into the reservoir with the produced water.
If all water injection lines become unavailable simultaneously (a very low probability event)
then produced water with its chemical additives will be discharged to sea.

Chemicals will be supplied to the platform in transportable tote tanks. These tanks will be
decanted into skid mounted storage tanks that feed the chemical injection pumps. All
installed chemical injection pumps shall be spared. The chemical storage tanks will be sized
to provide a re-supply interval of 14 days at the maximum design dosage rate.
A list of anticipated production chemical requirements along with the dosage range for these

In addition to the chemicals cited above, it is anticipated that a drag reducing agent (DRA) will
be used in the oil export lines during peak production years (e.g. 2009-2010) to allow increase
oil throughput. Typical dosage rate for the DRA will be 20ppmv, with a design maximum
dosage of 50ppmv. DRA trials were, at the time of writing being undertaken for the EOP
Chirag-1 platform and 24” oil export line. Similarly, a wax inhibitor / pour point depressant,
H2S scavenger and alternative demulsifier may be used. Space and weight provisions on the
platform topsides will be provided for future utilisations.

5.5.3 Well Clean-up / Testing
The test separator train will provide the requirements for well clean-up, well kick-off and well
testing and will work across the full range of conditions experienced by both the HP and LP
separators to cater for tests from both HP and LP wells. The test separator will also be
capable of operating as a production separator in the event that one production train is
unavailable. There will be no planned emissions to atmosphere or to sea as a result of these
test separator activities as hydrocarbon products will be contained in the process train.

Under normal operating conditions, produced water will, following treatment, be sent to the
water injection pumps where it will be combined with treated seawater and injected for
reservoir pressure maintenance.
The produced water treatment package onboard the DUQ platform will be capable of treating
up to 131 Mbpd. It includes solids removal sand cyclone units and de-oiling hydrocyclones.
A separate sand cyclone unit and hydrocyclone will be provided for each of the two process
trains and for the test train. Removed sand will be transferred to the sand separation
package.
Treated water exiting each of the hydrocyclones will be routed to a degassing drum where
any remaining gas will be “flashed” and directed to the LP flare system. The degassing drum
will be equipped with an oil-skimming facility and oil / oily water will be routed back into the LP
separator for re-treatment.
If the total water injection system becomes unavailable (e.g. in circumstances when all of the
three available injection pumps are unavailable) produced water will be discharged to sea via
caisson at 45 m below the sea surface. A sampling point will be installed downstream of the
degassing drum to allow verification that water that needs to be discharged to sea meets the
following IFC standards:

42 mg/l dispersed oil and grease – daily average; and•
• 29 mg/l dispersed oil and grease – monthly average.
Produced water will be preferentially injected before seawater to minimise need for discharge
of produced water to sea during any downtime of the injection system.
Through the management of the water injection and hydrocarbon production systems, it is
estimated that there may be a need to discharge produced water to sea for up to 2% of the
total platform operating/producing time. Based on this assumption, anticipated volumes of
produced water that will be discharged to sea are quantified in Section 5.10.
5.5.5 Water Injection
Water injection to the reservoir will initially be via one pre-drilled platform well and the six to
eight subsea water injection wells. Additional water injection wells will be drilled from the
DUQ platform for future requirements.
Injection water will include produced water and lifted seawater. Seawater will be taken from a
depth of 107 m below the sea surface using two lift pumps on the DUQ platform and four on
the PCWU platform. Following filtration to remove solids, some seawater will be used for
platform utilities (Section 5.5.7). Filtered seawater required for water injection will be
transferred to the water injection system on the PCWU platform. The injection water
treatment system consists of a de-aerator tower where water oxygen levels will be reduced
via injection of an oxygen scavenger and other chemicals. The chemicals that will be added
to the injection water stream (as currently planned) are presented in Table 5.14.

Once de-oxygenated, seawater will be routed to booster pumps and then co-mingled with
treated produced water. The combined streams will be injected using three gas turbine driven
water injection pumps onboard the PCWU platform. Each water injection pump will be
capable of pressurising the water to the required injection pressure of 448 barg and the water
injection system in total will be capable of injecting up to 750 Mbwpd (i.e. 3 x 250 Mbwpd
water injection pumps). The water injection system will be designed to operate at an overall
98% availability. When the system is unavailable, some volumes of injection water will be
discharged to sea. During these periods biocide dosing will cease.

5.5.6 Platform Utilities
A number of platform utilities will be provided to support platform operations. These utilities
are described in the following sections.
5.5.6.1 Power Generation
The power generation system will provide electrical power for the drilling operations,
production operations and all of the platform utility systems. The principal power supply will
be Rolls Royce RB211 gas turbine generators each capable of generating 22-28 MW of
electrical power depending on the ambient temperature.
The PCWU will have four RB211 power generation packages (including one spare) for
general power supply and an additional three dedicated to water injection duty. The DUQ will
have one RB211 generator. The generators will normally operate with dry fuel gas generated
by the platform fuel gas system. Diesel will however, be used in the event of unavailability of
fuel gas with up to six of the generators capable of running on diesel. Back-up supply to the
platforms’ RB211 generators will be provided by two 1.2 MW emergency diesel generators,
one on each platform. These generators will also be used for first power at platform start-up.
During drilling operations and prior to installation of the PCWU platform, the DUQ will be
powered by one RB211 and will have eight temporary diesel engine generators for back-up
power supply. This temporary generation will be required for 4-6 months, following which the
temporary diesel engine driven packages will be removed from the platform and shipped back
to shore as they will be no longer required for the project.
5.5.6.2 Diesel System
In addition to providing fuel for the back-up power generation system, the diesel system will
also provide fuel to the following users:
Cranes;•
•
•
Lifeboats; and
Firewater pumps.
Diesel transfer to the platform will be by hose from supply boats. The hoses will be equipped
with breakaway couplings to isolate supply in the event that the line tears or breaks. Diesel
storage will be 109 m3
in each of the two storage tanks located in the DUQ crane pedestals.
During the initial drilling period when PCWU platform is not installed, diesel will likely be
stored in the process separators located on the DUQ platform so as to reduce the number of
required supply vessel trips.
From storage, the diesel will be pumped to the various platform users via the diesel treatment
package, with a system design capacity rate of 33 m3
/hr. Diesel bunkering will be a
continuously manned operation. The treatment package consists of a coalescing filter system
that will remove water, associated salts and particulates from the diesel in order to meet the
gas turbine generator quality specifications (when running on diesel). The by-products of the
diesel treatment system will be passed to the closed drain system (Section 5.5.6.8.).
5.5.6.3 Flare System
The platform flare system is designed to collect and safely dispose of any gaseous releases
that need to be routed to the atmosphere for safety or operational reasons. It is primarily an
emergency relief system for use under abnormal conditions such as during start-up,
shutdown, planned maintenance and times of equipment failure or an emergency event.

Environmental & Socio-economic Impact Assessment Final Report
The offshore flare system will consist of a LP and a HP system designed to gather gaseous
releases from platforms’ equipment. It will route gas via the HP and LP header / flare drum
sets (one of each on both the DUQ and PCWU) to a single flare tip on the PCWU flare boom
where they will be burned. The potential sources of gaseous releases include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
LP Flare System:
− Cooling Medium Expansion Drum;
− Flash Gas Compressor Discharge Coolers;
− Fuel Gas Package;
− Gas Pipeline Pig Launcher;
− Gas Turbine Generator;
− Glycol Regeneration Package;
− HP Gas Cooler;
− Methanol Drum;
− MOL Pumps;
− Oil Booster Pumps;
− Produced Water Treatment Package; and
− Sand Separation Package;
HP Flare System:
− Flash Gas Compressor Discharge Coolers;
− Flash Gas Compressor Suction Scrubbers;
− Fuel Gas KO Drum;
− Fuel Gas Package;
− Gas Turbine Generator;
− Glycol Contactor;
− HP Separators;
− Ignition Package;
− LP Separators;
− Coalescer
− Oil Booster Pumps; and
− Test Separator.
There will be no routine continuous flaring of associated gas for oil production purposes from
the Phase 3 facilities.
Although the flare system is primarily designed for use during abnormal operating conditions,
there will be a need to continually supply a small volume of gas to the flare system and for
this to be burnt at the flare tip for the following reasons:
Fuel gas for the continually lit pilot lights to ensure ignition of any gaseous releases;
Continuous purge gas to prevent ingress of oxygen into the system and the build-up of a
potentially explosive atmosphere;
Glycol regeneration package vent;
Fugitives from compressor gas seals; and
Produced water degasser vent.
BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene) will be retained in the hydrocarbon stream
from the glycol regeneration package. This will be flared. The combined HP and LP flare
pilot lights consumption rate will be approximately 4 MMscf/yr. The flare tip purge gas rate
will be approximately 600 MMscf/yr (not including losses from seals and vents).
During operations there will be occasions when plant upsets occur necessitating flaring of gas
to allow continued oil production safe repair of equipment and safe restart of the plant. These
occasions will be reduced by the procurement of robust and proven and reliable equipment

and the design of plant and equipment with sparing capacity. In addition, regular inspection
and maintenance programmes will be implemented for plant equipment to maintain efficiency.
The overall plant design availability for individual components of the offshore and onshore
plant, plus the subsea export pipelines is 95%. When all of these components operate
together the overall availability equates to 92% at production plateau1
.
The flare tip will be designed to handle an emergency blow-down rate of 350 MMscfd. When
flaring is necessary it will be maximised at the offshore platform location in order to minimise
flaring events at the terminal. Flaring will be metered and a flaring policy will be defined for
the operating phase of the Project that will be consistent with the overall flaring policy for ACG
FFD. The policy will stipulate annual caps on volumes of gas that may be flared.
5.5.6.4 Seawater System
Seawater will be drawn directly from the platform seawater lift pump caissons (–107 m below
the sea surface) using five of the six seawater lift pumps. One pump (plus one spare) will be
located on the DUQ platform and the other four will be on the PCWU platform. Each
seawater lift pump will have a normal flow-rate of 1,718 m3
/hr.
Seawater will be used for a number of purposes as follows:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Water injection;
Heating, Ventilation and Air-Conditioning (HVAC);
Living quarters ablutions;
Drilling facilities;
Fresh water generator;
Fire water ring main pressurisation facility;
Bio-fouling control unit;
Sewage treatment system;
Sand jetting system;
Coarse filter backwash, and
Cooling for the cooling medium system.
Washdown facilities
Following lifting and filtration to remove particles greater than 150 microns, a proportion of the
seawater will be dosed with a copper-chlorine anti-fouling additive in order to prevent the
build-up of organic matter. There will be an anti-fouling package onboard both the DUQ and
PCWU platforms and design flow-rates will be 20 m3
/hr and 80 m3
/hr, respectively. The anti-
fouling system will pulse dose the water for one minute in every five with a 5 ppb copper and
50 ppb chlorine mixture. Once treated, the seawater will be passed to the various uses listed
above.
5.5.6.5 Cooling Medium System
The main processes requiring cooling include the following equipment and utilities:
Flash gas compressors;
Main gas compressors;
1
Note: Plant design availability for offshore facilities is 95%, and onshore facility availability is 96%. Together the
availability of all equipment equates to 92%

Turbine driven water injection pump utilities;
MOL booster pumps;

Air compressor package; and
Export gas compressor after-cooler.
The platform cooling systems will comprise of separate closed-loop cooling medium systems
on each platform. The systems will be an indirect glycol-water cooling system (20 % by
weight mono ethylene glycol (MEG)) that is cooled by seawater. There will be four seawater
exchangers on the PCWU and two seawater exchangers on the DUQ. Top-up MEG will be
supplied to the system by tote tank. The cooling medium will have an operational flow-rate of
3,142 m3
/hr on the PCWU and 180 m3
/hr on the DUQ.
Once used, cooling water will be routed to the water injection system for disposal. There will
however, be two scenarios where it will be discharged to sea, namely:
1. Prior to installation of the PCWU platform (i.e. when only the DUQ platform is installed)
and there will be no injection water treatment or pumping system; and
2. When the PCWU is installed but when the water injection system is unavailable.
The maximum amount that will be discharged under the first of these scenarios is 1,718
m3
/hr; that is, equal to the lifting capacity of the one seawater lift pump located on the DUQ
platform at that time.
Under the second scenario, cooling water will be discharged via a caisson at 45 m below the
sea surface and at a temperature of between 20O
C and 25O
C. Discharge volumes will be
small and rates will be variable depending on the demand for injection water and the amount
of produced water that is being generated.
5.5.6.6 Firewater
Firewater will be supplied by two diesel driven firewater pumps, each with a pumping rating of
2,150 m3
/hr at the discharge flange. The pumps will be located on the cellar deck of the DUQ
platform and will provide a dedicated firewater supply for both platforms from the seawater lift
system. The distribution system will supply firewater to general area deluge systems, hose
reels/hydrants and monitors. Deluge protection will be provided to the majority of
hydrocarbon processing areas, including the wellhead/manifold and drilling areas.
A film forming fluoro protein (FFFP) concentrate system will be provided to enhance the
effectiveness of deluge water spray protecting the separator module where there is potential
for hydrocarbon pool fires. FFFP is a natural protein foaming agent that is biodegradable and
non-toxic.
Firewater hose reels/hydrants will be designed for a nominal capacity of 26 m3
/hr and will be
located to provide coverage to all parts of the installation via two jets of water.
Firewater and foam monitors will be provided for helideck protection. At least two monitors,
each capable of a minimum 5.5 l/min/m2
, will be provided for the safe landing area.
5.5.6.7 Sand Jetting and Separation System
All producer wells will have down-hole sand production control (Section 5.4.2.3). It is
expected however, that flowing hydrocarbons will still carry some sand with it to the platform
topsides and therefore, sand jetting equipment will be provided to remove accumulated sand
from the process equipment such as separators, the produced water degasser drum and the

Environmental & Socio-economic Impact Assessment Final Report
closed drains drum. Removed sand will be directed to the sand separation package via
dedicated sandwash piping.
Initially, sand-jetting water will be treated de-aerated seawater but as produced water
volumes increase, this will be used in preference. Produced water used for jetting will be
cleaned and routed to the water injection system.
The sand separation package consists of a de-sanding hydrocyclone and a de-oiling
hydrocyclone designed to remove oil to a nominal level of 1% by weight oil on sand. Cleaned
sand will be slurrified and transported to the cuttings re-injection system where it will be
injected into one of the two dedicated CRI wells. The resultant oily water mixture from the de-
oiling hydrocyclone will be routed to the closed drains drum. In the event that the cuttings re-
injection system is unavailable, the sand will be diverted from the desanding hydrocyclone
and containerised for transportation to shore for treatment and disposal.
Based on anticipated sand production volumes, vessel jetting is expected to be required on a
weekly basis. Jetting systems will however be capable of removing double the design sand
loadings of 5 pptb by simply increasing the jetting frequency.
5.5.6.8 Drainage System
The drainage system on the platforms will consist of non-hazardous and hazardous open
drains as well as a closed drains system. There are two systems of drainage management
on the DUQ and PCWU, as follows:
PCWU
Open drains waters (including drainage from areas with a hazardous safety rating) is
routed to the open drains caisson and passed through a skimmer in the caisson to draw
off any oil prior to discharge at -45m.
•
•
•
•
•
Closed drains waters will be directed to the LP and HP closed drains drums. Liberated
gas from these drums will be sent to the flare and the liquids will be sent back to the LP
separator for re-treatment.
DUQ
Open drains from areas with a hazardous safety rating will be discharged to the open
drains caisson fitted with skimmer to draw off any oil, prior to discharge at -45m.
Drainage from areas with a non-hazardous safety rating will be sent to an oil drains tank
and from there to the cuttings re-injection package for downhole reinjection.
Closed drains waters will be directed to the LP and HP closed drains drums as with the
PCWU. Liberated gas from these drums will be sent to the flare and the liquids will be
sent back to the LP separator for re-treatment.
Both open drains caissons are fitted with a sample extraction point at -30m and will be
monitored for no visible sheen.

5.5.6.9 Instrument Air and Inert Gas System
The instrument air system will provide plant and instrument air for use in drilling, process
control and maintenance. On the DUQ, air will be provided by four oil-free air compressors
rated at 33% duty each, and a further two compressors rated at 50% will provide the air on
the PCWU. The total air-flow rate will be approximately 9,000 Sm3
/hr.
Inert Gas (nitrogen) will be generated on demand by a membrane package using dry
compressed air. A backup inert gas supply system shall also be provided. Inert Gas users
include compressor seals, cooling medium expansion drum and utility stations.
5.5.6.10 Fresh Water
The fresh water maker system will utilise a reverse osmosis (RO) process to desalinate
seawater. It will include membranes to clean the seawater and will have the capacity to
produce 5 m3
/hr of fresh water. Saline effluent from the fresh water maker will be directed
overboard through the seawater discharge caisson.
The fresh water will be stored in a fresh water tank on the DUQ platform. Additional filtered
fresh water will be supplied from the supply boats as required.
Water delivered to the accommodation module will be further sterilised in a UV sterilisation
plant then passed to the potable water header tank.
5.5.6.11 Sewage
Toilet and washing facilities will be located on the DUQ platform.
Sewage will be collected via the sewer system and treated in a USGC Certified MSD. The
package will have a maximum capacity of 56 m3
/day, consistent with the peak platform
manning level of 300 personnel during HUC activities. The average capacity will be
37 m3
/day. An inlet surge tank will accommodate variations in sewage production rates.

The sewage treatment package will include maceration and electro-chlorination. Treated
sewage will be co-mingled with seawater and untreated laundry grey water such that a
residual chlorine discharge specification of 1mg/l is met after which it is discharged via the
sewage caisson at 15 m below the sea surface. The package is designed to meet the
discharge limits present in Table 5.15 below.
Table 5.15 Sewage Treatment System Specifications
Parameter Discharge Limit
<150 mg/l (average)Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
<150 mg/l (peak day)
pH 6 to 9
Residual chlorine 1 mg/l
Faecal coliforms <200 MPN/100 ml
5.5.6.12 Other Wastes
Organic food waste from the platform galley will be macerated to the MARPOL standard of
<25 mm and discharged to sea via the sewage caisson.
5.5.7 Start-Up Operations
Start-up of offshore production operations will be controlled under increasing loads and
hydrocarbon throughput. The oil processing equipment will be started-up before the gas
processing equipment and hence, while the latter comes on stream, it is anticipated that there
will be an initial requirement to flare gas. In addition, early commissioning and start-up
problems may also occur resulting in the requirement for additional flaring events. It is
predicted that plant availability during the first year of operation will be 75%, and 85% in the
second year. Thereafter offshore availability is assumed to be 95%.
5.5.8 Offshore Production Operation Wastes and Emissions
The predicted volumes of discharges, emissions and wastes associated with the operational
phase of the offshore platform facilities, including start up emissions are presented in Section
5.10.
