Tobermory Preliminary Flow Assurance Study
Client: Total E&P UK Ltd
Preliminary steady state analysis to evaluate the hydraulic requirement and stability of the pipeline sizes considered for the Tobermory development. Study also evaluated the feasibility of depressurising the pipeline to protect against hydrate formation.
Laggan-Tormore Maximum Flowing Wellhead Temperature Assessment and Well Spool Design
Client: Total E&P UK Ltd
Maximum FWHT determination and assessment of well spool thermal performance required for input to spool mechanical design.
Edradour Development Preliminary Study
Client: Total E&P UK Ltd
Full integrated subsea conceptual study to assess options for a 35 km tie back to the new Laggan/Tormore to SGP pipelines.
CLOV Development
Client: Total E&P (Angola)
Providing Flow Assurance technical leadership for all
Flow Assurance aspects of the CLOV development – a deepwater (1400m)
FPSO development offshore Angola and with the following
responsibilities:
Technical management of in-house team of engineers – responsible for
study quality by reviewing all analysis to ensure and maintain technical
credibility.
Defining design requirements and functional specification for SURF
(sub-surface umbilical, riser and flowline) and SPS (sub-surface
production system) components. Review of technical documents related to
the design and specification of subsea production equipment including
multiphase pumps.
Responsible for all flow assurance input to the definition and
specification of all aspects of the development from well-completion to
export lines and interfacing will all project groups including field
operations, FPSO, commissioning, etc.
Dunbar OPPS Transient Analysis
Client: Total E&P (UK)
Study – Involved the development of a HYSYS dynamics model to perform base case simulation to be used for future work.
Dunbar Pipeline Arrival Pressure Reduction Study
Client: Total E&P (UK)
Performed a flow assurance and dynamic simulation analysis to assess the performance and operability of the Dunbar 16-inch multiphase pipeline following a reduction of the arrival pressure at Alwyn from 69 to 30 bara.
K5-F FEED
Client: Total E&P Nederland B.V.
Detailed flow assurance study performed for the
subsea tie-back development;
Performed study to evaluate the fields impact on existing facilities
specifically the impact of the chemical injection rates on blowdown and
start-up surge volumes;
Performed Hydraulic capacity study for chemical injection line.
K5CU Flow Assurance Study
Client: Total E&P Nederland B.V.
Performed flow assurance assessment to evaluate the operability of the new export pipeline linking K5CU to K5A. The steady state aspect of study involved the definition of the preferred line size for steady state operation subject to the available export pressure. The transient analysis involves an assessment of the pipeline and receiving facilities response to transient operations such as shutdown, start-up. System operability i.e. slugging and hydrate management philosophy was also assessed.
