This presentation covers some of the key points and lessons learned from the implementation of a 1300km long submarine cable system in the Gulf of Thailand.
• The driver for the project was to improve offshore communications (based on performance, reliability and security) by means of a fiber optic cable network.
• The Oil and Gas Companies chose to select a carrier model rather than take ownership of the subsea system
A large part of the Norwegian gas and oil production facilities has reached their initial design life, but the respective fields are still producing substantial levels of hydrocarbons. In order to ensure technical and operational integrity of these ageing facilities the Norwegian oil industry Association (OLF) has initiated a project to establish the necessary standards and guidelines for assessing and ensuring safe life extensions. This paper presents this project and the headlines of these standards and guidelines.

CFD Simulation of By-pass Flow in a HRSG module by R&R Consult.pptxR&R Consult
CFD analysis is incredibly effective at solving mysteries and improving the performance of complex systems!
Here's a great example: At a large natural gas-fired power plant, where they use waste heat to generate steam and energy, they were puzzled that their boiler wasn't producing as much steam as expected.
R&R and Tetra Engineering Group Inc. were asked to solve the issue with reduced steam production.
An inspection had shown that a significant amount of hot flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes, where the heat was supposed to be transferred.
R&R Consult conducted a CFD analysis, which revealed that 6.3% of the flue gas was bypassing the boiler tubes without transferring heat. The analysis also showed that the flue gas was instead being directed along the sides of the boiler and between the modules that were supposed to capture the heat. This was the cause of the reduced performance.
Based on our results, Tetra Engineering installed covering plates to reduce the bypass flow. This improved the boiler's performance and increased electricity production.
It is always satisfying when we can help solve complex challenges like this. Do your systems also need a check-up or optimization? Give us a call!
Work done in cooperation with James Malloy and David Moelling from Tetra Engineering.

Documentation Reviews -
• Marine Installer is required to produce
detailed vessel specific / project specific
documentation and operational procedures.
• The procedures are developed to enable
incident free operations.
• Extremely important when working on or
close to platforms or in close proximity to
subsea assets.
• Review of procedures by Oil & Gas
Company can involve several departments
and take considerable time.
• May take several review cycles before the
documentation is approved by Oil & Gas
Company.
10. 10CONFIDENTIAL
Connecting Offshore Platforms to a Subsea Cable System
• Site specific / vessel specific operational procedures were
developed, reviewed and approved before commencing any
work – the main driver being to prevent incidents.
• Detailed procedures are developed to cover –
Burial by cable plough
Buoy deployment operations
Grapnel operations
Emergency procedures for Tug support
Pipeline Crossing operations
Deployment of flexible mattresses
• Vessels were identified for specific tasks within the field,
and DP audits, inspections and follow ups on all ships
working within the OCB. Successful inspections were
performed to ensure ships were qualified to the standard
required by the Oil Companies International Marine Forum
(OCIMF).
• The procedures covering preparation works on the
platforms completed 6 review cycles before they were
agreed by all parties. This contributed to the safe and
incident free deployment of the cable onto the platforms.
11. 11CONFIDENTIAL
Connecting Offshore Platforms to a Subsea Cable System
• Many tasks involving physical work on the
platforms were required during the initial platform
survey, equipment mobilisation and rigging
activities, cable deployment phase and finally
equipment de-mobilisation and making good any
damage.
• These activities have the potential to affect other
platform operations and so involved careful
preparation, planning, communication and control
at all times.
• The preparation, planning and communication of
activities was aided by the generation of detailed
procedures which were used to evaluate and
assess risks through the Hazard Analysis and Job
Safety Analysis (HA/JSA) process.
• The mitigation measures identified were
rigorously enforced and documentation used to
support Permit to Work (PTW) applications on the
platform.
12. 12CONFIDENTIAL
Connecting Offshore Platforms to a Subsea Cable System
Teamwork / Co-operation -
• During the As-Built J-Tube Installation QC
checks, some errors in the J-Tube heading
were identified at the last moment, just a few
weeks before cable deployment and when
procedures were almost complete.
• On 2 platforms the J-Tube heading
mis-aligned with the planned cable route
heading. The marine installer was very
proactive and assisted the Oil & Gas project
team to find workable solutions, which did not
require rework of the J-Tube orientation, which
would have caused significant delays.
• The vessel position for the cable pull-in
operation was adjusted to minimise the
mis-alignment.
• The mitigation measures taken resulted in
incident free cable pull-in operations.
13. 13CONFIDENTIAL
Connecting Offshore Platforms to a Subsea Cable System
Spares held on Cable Ship -
• During operations some delays were incurred due to
broken equipment.
• As there were no spares onboard and operations had
to be delayed until replacement parts were shipped to
site.
• Service provider / Marine Installer to ensure sufficient
spares are held for critical equipment such as ROV,
survey system, plough etc.
• Prior to operations QC checks on equipment
condition and to identify critical single source items.
These QC checks should be completed as well in
advance of operations as possible so that long lead
time spares can be located and shipped to site.
14. 14CONFIDENTIAL
Connecting Offshore Platforms to a Subsea Cable System
• As the Oil & Gas Company had adopted
a carrier level approach as opposed to a
direct purchase of a submarine cable
system, their influence over the control and
avoidance of project delays was
somewhat limited.
• An accurate project schedule is important
to the logistics process of ensuring the
correct equipment and personnel were
available on the correct platforms, without
impacting other platform operations.
• Consideration should be given to
identifying specific milestones against a
deliverables timeline.
• To ensure a strong commitment to
maintaining the agreed timeline between all
parties penalty clauses should be agreed.
15. 15CONFIDENTIAL
Connecting Offshore Platforms to a Subsea Cable System
• Effective communications result in a well informed workforce.
• The inclusion of all parties in regular meetings ensures co-ordination,
understanding and commitment.
• Key messages were delivered to all relevant parties simultaneously so that these
could be discussed and clarified if required.
• The monthly meetings provided a forum for the regular review and discussion of
the overall project plan and Marine POW, progress, deliverables and issues.
• Operationally, the Kick Off meetings held on each platform was essential to ensure
co-ordination between vessel and platform staff. The regular use of HA/JSAs and
tool box talks at each stage of the operation was critical to successful operations.
16. 16CONFIDENTIAL
Connecting Offshore Platforms to a Subsea Cable System
• Some Conclusions –
• Oil & Gas Companies expect to be provided with detailed documentation to explain
the WHAT, WHERE, WHY, WHEN type questions.
• All operations have to be planned, reviewed and implemented SAFELY.
• If any changes are necessary a Management of Change record is generated &
approved before operations can proceed.
• The system of controlling activities works with no injuries or incidents.
