Subsea Hyperbaric Welding for Pipeline RepairNeil Woodward
A diver-assisted TIG welding system has been successfully employed for pipeline repair and tie-in in the North Sea for the last 20 years. Known as the ‘Pipeline Repair System’, it is operated in water depths down to 180msw. For the last ten years, research and development has been performed in the laboratory, investigating and establishing the capability of the Gas Metal Arc hyperbaric welding process for operation beyond water depths of 180msw (the diver-assisted limit) and down to 2,500msw for remote welding pipeline repair and hot tapping applications. Hyperbaric weld procedures have been qualified down to 1,000msw.
After an extensive equipment design, development, build and test programme the Remote Welding System (RWS) has recently been tested offshore at 310 and 940msw. The Remote Welding System is based upon similar operating principles to the diver-assisted equipment spread: a Habitat, to be deployed around the pipe, to facilitate the creation of a suitably dry fully inert welding environment, and a recoverable Power and Control Module (known as the POCO) to dock onto the Habitat and deploy the remote welding equipment.
The offshore test included full operational sequences of the anticipated pipeline repair scenario: deploying the Remote Welding Habitat (RWH) around the pipe; creating a dry welding environment; deploying the Remote Welding POCO (RWP) and Remote Welding Tool (RWT); entering the Habitat; pre-heating the pipe; multi-pass hyperbaric positional GMA welding and post-weld review; post-weld heating; recovering the Remote Welding Tool and POCO and re-deploying when necessary during the operation; and finally recovering the Remote Welding Habitat after completion of the welding sequence.
In order to qualify the remote welding technology, with the approval of DNV GL, and demonstrate that the offshore equipment is fully capable of producing acceptable welds comparable with those qualified in the laboratory, the 310 and 940msw root and multi-pass welds were subject to Visual, NDT and basic mechanical property testing. The results represent the world’s first acceptable hyperbaric GMA offshore welding operation in the 1,000msw range facilitating the successful capability for pipeline repair applications beyond diver depths.

Subsea pipelines the remotely welded retrofit tee for hot tap applications ...Neil Woodward
Over the last 10 years Statoil has developed subsea remote hot tap technology. The first use of the remote hot tap technology was the Tampen Link hot tap in 2008. The hot tap cutting operation itself was performed without the use of divers; however, the preparatory works including hyperbaric welding of the hot tap tee was performed with saturation divers. The world’s deepest hot tap operations on a pressurized pipeline were performed on the Ormen Lange field in the Norwegian Sea in August 2009. Two Hot Taps were conducted in a water depth of 860 meters on pre-installed tees. The development of the Pipeline Repair System Remote Hot Tap equipment is the result of targeted research and development effort and extensive qualification work over many years. The Retrofit Tee remote installation, welding and cutting equipment has now been employed as part of a production installation: the Åsgard Subsea Compression project to extend the Åsgard gas-field lifetime.
This paper describes the dry hyperbaric GMA weld procedure development and qualification performed in the laboratory, using the Corrosion Resistant Alloy consumable filler material Alloy 59, for the Remote Hot Tapping application using the Retrofit Tee. Specific attention was paid to areas of concern prior to performing the formal Weld Procedure Qualification work, particularly with regard to the effects of moisture and temperature upon the resultant weld quality. Weld procedures developed in the laboratory were successfully tested subsea in representative environments using the Remote Tee Welding Tool (RTWT) equipment in the Sognefjord, Norway, with offshore tests performed at 265 and 350msw in 2011. Further tests were performed in 2012 at 265msw and in the Retrofit Tee itself at 316msw in the Nedstrandfjord.
The hyperbaric GMA weld procedures have now been applied for the production application for the Åsgard Subsea Compression project, with the installation of a Retrofit Tee, associated valve module and gooseneck spool to enable a cost-effective modification to the existing pipeline network without interfering with ongoing production. The Retrofit Tee will be connected with a Subsea Compressor station to extend the gas-field lifetime.
This milestone represents the world’s first application of diverless dry hyperbaric GMA welding for a subsea production application.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

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.
