Reliability-Based Qualification of New Subsea Hardware
SARIA MOHAMMED, HOUSTON | 14:00-14:30
Reliability data is typically generated
from field performance over an
extended period of time. New
unproven technologies are subjected
to qualification tests to demonstrate
functional operation and adherence to specification. For new
technologies there understandably exists a limited number
of recognized standard tests to verify and qualify a design.
Qualification testing is limited by both time and cost, and has
historically focused on verifying product functional performance
rather than reliability. There is a clear need for a statistical-
based method to quantify a minimum sample size and test
duration from which to derive meaningful reliability data.
This presentation describes a methodology for assessing
new technologies and identifying relevant tests that assist
in determining a substantiated reliability value which can
then be used when considering unproven technologies.
GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPEN HOUSE

Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) Room 406 & 407
Followed by refreshments at Skybar at 17:30
Welcome and Introduction
STEVE LEE, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT ASIA & MIDDLE EAST
12:30 - 13:30 LUNCH WILL BE SERVED IN KLCC CORE AREA
Steve has over 24 years’ experience in the oil and gas industry, covering engineering, construction and project
management of subsea pipelines, marginal fields and deepwater developments. He joined INTECSEA in 1996,
and over the years has held various positions in Houston and Malaysia. Steve served as Location Manager for
WorleyParsons Kuala Lumpur before stepping into the Senior Vice President role.
14:30 - 15:00 NETWORKING BREAK
2. State-of-the-art ECA for CRA Pipelines
JOE TRAN , PERTH | 15:00-15:30
CRA clad or lined pipelines are
increasingly required to handle
corrosive fluids from HTHP fields.
Available welding consumables for CRA
girth welds do not ensure strength
overmatch with the steel backing pipe. This makes it more
difficult to demonstrate girth weld integrity, especially when
strain levels exceed yield in installation or operation. Joe will
explain how INTECSEA has developed efficient but rigorous
methods to perform ECA using full 3D FEA methods, which
have been applied to multiple projects in Australia and beyond.
This has helped operators and contractors to select the best
welding consumable and establish workable weld defect size
limits, so that lay rates – and hence costs – are contained.
Probabilistic Pipeline Life Prediction
PREMKUMAR THODI, ST JOHN’S | 15:30 - 16:00
Many offshore pipelines are approaching
or beyond their intended design life.
Other pipelines are required to operate
at increased temperatures after many
years in service. As these assets
age or their operating conditions become more severe, the
risk of leak or rupture must be understood and managed in
order to avoid environmental and safety hazards. Inspection
methods exist that can identify and quantify corrosion,
cracking or other deterioration. This paper presents a
methodology for assessing the condition of ageing pipelines
and determining the remaining life that supports extended
operation without compromising safety and reliability.
Applying this methodology would facilitate a well-informed
decision which enables stakeholders to determine the best
strategy for maintaining the integrity of ageing pipelines.
Advances in Subsea Power Distribution
MATAI WILSON, HOUSTON | 16:00-16:30
Deepwater offshore real estate is in
short supply and not all deepwater
developments will sustain a host
facility. Therefore, deepwater tiebacks
must be considered. In particular,
deepwater challenges drive production complexities such
as artificial lift requirements to offset tight formations with
low productivity indices. Subsea power distribution offers a
way to minimize a tieback’s impact to an existing or future
host, and may prove to be a key factor in enabling challenging
deepwaer tiebacks with extremely limited infrastructure
options.Subsea power distribution involves the marinization
of bulky topside energy conversion equipment for placement
subsea and locally to driven artificial lift equipment, such as
downhole ESPs and mudline pumps. Subsea power distribution
also streamlines umbilical requirements by supplying bulk
power via a single power umbilical that is distributed to subsea
energy conversion components (variable speed drives) via
subsea switchgear (circuit breakers). The topside savings
on space and deck load can be significant, not to mention
the CAPEX and Installation savings with a reduced power
umbilical compliment. Subsea power distribution may offer the
much needed life support for numerous marginal deepwater
developments that might otherwise remain stranded.
