Bluewater and the Sable FieldDevelopment

Before installation at the Sable field,

the vessel’s production and processing

facilities had to be modified to fit the

requirements of the field. Design

capacities were upgraded to handle

the specific field processing require-

ments, 85 MMscfd gas re-injection,

and 45,000 bwpd water injection.

The Glas Dowr is the fifth Bluewater

designed, built, owned and operated

FPSO and commenced operation in

August 1997 at the Durward &

Dauntless Fields for Amerada Hess.

However, the Durward & Dauntless

fields did not perform as expected and

the Glas Dowr was demobilised from

its North Sea location in 1999.

The availability of the Glas Dowr was

a key factor in attaining oil from the

Sable Field on a fast track schedule

using a well-proven production

approach. In preparation for produc-

tion, Bluewater was able to immedi-

ately begin the following phased

development plan designed to initiate

production from the Sable field:

Phase 1 Supply &ConversionThe Glas Dowr was initially dry-

docked in Rotterdam for modifica-

tions to the hull and installation of a

thruster. After modifications were suc-

cessfully completed, the Glas Dowr

was towed to Cape Town for further

upgrades.

The topsides were then upgraded with

increased gas injection capacity,

additional power generation and oil

processing equipment. Installation of

the new equipment was completed in

Cape Town.

Phase 2 InstallationSubsea infrastructure was supplied,

installed and prepared for production.

Installation and hook-up of the Glas

Dowr was then carried out prior to

final commissioning and testing of all

the facilities needed to begin produc-

tion operations.

Phase 3 OperationsBluewater now maintains full respon-

sibility for the safe and efficient oper-

ation of all FPSO and shuttle tanker

equipment for the duration of the

Sable Field contract.

Bluewater was awarded a contract to provide and operatethe floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, Glas Dowr, along with shuttle tanker and subseaequipment for the Sable field. The initial term of the leaseand operating contract is ten years with a minimum term of three years.

The Sable Field Development

Location and reservesThe Sable development lies in the

Bredasdorp Basin in Block 9, off the

coast of South Africa. It consists of two

reservoirs: the E-BD oil reservoir and

the E-CE oil and gas reservoir. The E-

The Sable oil field is located 150 kilometres southwest of Mossel Bay, off the Western Capeof South Africa, and commenced production in August 2003. PetroSA, the South Africanstate-owned exploration and production company is Field Operator with a 60% workinginterest. Pioneer Natural Resources holds the remaining 40% interest. Lying in approximate-ly 100 m of water, the development is estimated to have recoverable reserves in the regionof 20 million to 25 million barrels of oil, producing initially at a peak rate of 30,000 to40,000 barrels of oil per day. Sable has been developed with six subsea wells tied back tothe Bluewater-owned and operated floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) ves-sel, Glas Dowr. Oil will be taken onshore by a shuttle tanker.

BD oil field was discovered in 1990,

followed by the E-CE oil and gas field

in 1991. The E-BD field partially over-

lies E-CE, and the extent of the two

reservoirs measures approximately

10 x 2 km.

With recoverable reserves estimated at

between 20 million and 25 million

barrels, the field is expected to have

an economic life of three to five

years. Oil production commenced in

August 2003. During the production

phase, gas will be re-injected at

around 80 MMscfd (million standard

cubic feet per day). At the end-of-field

life, an estimated 120 Bcf (billion

cubic feet) of gas is expected to

remain in the E-CE gas cap. This will

be available for export to PetroSA’s

gas-to-liquids plant in Mossel Bay.

The Sable partnershipIn June 2001, the South African, state-

owned exploration and production

company, PetroSA (Petroleum Oil &

Gas Corporation of South Africa (Pty.)

Ltd) was given approval to develop

the offshore Sable oil field. PetroSA is

the Operator of the Sable field with a

60% working interest. PetroSA’s field

partner, Pioneer Natural Resources

(a Dallas-based company), holds the

remaining 40% interest.

In addition to development activities,

Pioneer is also appraising possible

prospects near the Sable field over

Blocks 7 and 9, and is evaluating its

Block 14A/M gas discoveries.

Field developmentSable has been developed with four

production wells, a water injection

well and a gas injection well. PetroSA

awarded a turnkey contract to

Bluewater (U.K.) Ltd. in June 2001 for

the engineering, procurement, instal-

lation and subsequent operation of

the field’s entire facilities, with the

exception of the six development

wells. This contract was awarded as a

result of an extensive development

appraisal, conceptual engineering

and tendering phase that lasted

approximately two years.

Bluewater, in turn, subcontracted the

complete subsea facilities and off-

shore installation scope of work to

Technip France in August 2001. The

contract called for Technip France to

design, supply and install the subsea

facilities at Sable, including all pro-

duction risers and umbilicals, in-field

flowlines and associated equipment.

Pride Foramer, using the drilling rigs

Omega and Pride Southern Seas dur-

ing the period from November 2001

through December 2002, drilled the

six development wells under PetroSA’s

supervision.

Engineering and hardware manufac-

ture were carried out at a variety of

locations worldwide - though pre-

dominantly in Europe - between June

2001 and September 2002.

InstallationIn addition to designing and supply-

ing the flowlines, umbilicals and ris-

ers, Technip France was responsible

for all related offshore installation

activities. This included the tow of

Glas Dowr (first from the UK via dry

docking in Rotterdam to Cape Town,

and then to the Sable field), installa-

tion of moorings, and installation,

hookup and testing of flowlines,

umbilicals and risers to the Xmas trees

and FPSO.

Installation work in the field was per-

formed in two phases. The first phase

took place between October and

December 2002, using the CSO

Constructor and CSO Deep Pioneer.

The second phase took place in April,

May and June 2003, using the CSO

Venturer and four tugs for positioning

the Glas Dowr.

OperationBluewater will operate the field facili-

ties from its operational base in Cape

Town. PetroSA will provide logistics

for this phase, most notably supply

vessels and helicopters, from its exist-

ing supply base at Mossel Bay.

Operation of the field will be strictly

in accordance with the Environmental

Management Plan agreed with the

South African authorities. Health and

safety matters will be conducted fol-

lowing PetroSA and Bluewater’s strin-

gent safety management systems,

both of which meet the applicable,

recognised South African and

International safety standards.

The Sable oil field will be exploited using the Bluewater-owned-and-operated turret-moored floating production,storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, Glas Dowr.In addition to full oil, gas and water processing facilities,the FPSO has 657,000 barrels of oil storage. Gas producedas a result of the oil production will be re-injected into theE-CE reservoir to maintain pressure, and to enhance oilrecovery, thereby minimising any gas flaring associated withthe development.

As well as having designed and built

the Glas Dowr, Bluewater also owns

and operates the FPSO. It began its

first operations in August 1997 on the

Durward & Dauntless fields in

the North Sea, but was demobilised

in 1999.

Before deployment on the Sable field,

the Glas Dowr’s production and pro-

cessing facilities had to be significant-

ly upgraded from their previous

assignment to meet Sable’s produc-

tion, injection, storage and offloading

requirements.

The vessel was initially drydocked in

Rotterdam for hull modifications and

installation of a thruster, and was then

towed to Cape Town for topside

upgrading.

FPSO operationIn June 2001, Bluewater was awarded

the contract to provide and operate

production facilities for the Sable field.

This involves supplying and operating

the FPSO vessel, Glas Dowr, along

with the shuttle tanker and subsea

equipment. The initial term of the lease

and operating contract is 10 years,

with a minimum term of three years.

Page 4: Bluewater Sable

Upgrading the GlasDowrBluewater awarded the contract for the

upgrade work on the Glas Dowr to SA

Five Engineering, a company that

began operations in South Africa in

1991. The Glas Dowr was first moved

from its UK location, arriving via

Rotterdam in Cape Town harbour at

the end of June 2002. The upgrade was

carried out at SA Five Engineering’s

facilities, located at A-Berth in Cape

Town harbour, where more than

50,000 m2 of lay-down area, fabrica-

tion shops, storage sheds and offices

are available. Various structures for the

Glas Dowr were also prefabricated at

SA Five’s workshop facilities.

Upgrade work involved the

fabrication design, bulk procurement,

fabrication, installation, testing and

6 Sable Field Sable Field 7

commissioning of a gas compression

module, (low, medium and high-pres-

sure), process separation module, gas

turbine generator, water cooling system,

flare structure and stabiliser platform,

including erection and alignment of the

stabiliser vessel. Various other modifica-

tions to existing topside facilities on the

FPSO were also performed. Design

capacities were upgraded to handle the

Sable requirements of 40,000-bopd pro-

cessing, 85-MMscfd re-injection, and

45,000-bwpd injection.

SA Five was responsible for the

fabrication engineering, draughting,

procurement, fabrication, erection, full

painting system (including insulation),

bolt tensioning, chemical cleaning and

pre-commissioning of pipework

(including nitrogen-helium leak testing

and hydro testing). The range of

pipework was from 1-in. to 24-in.,

Schedule 10 to XXS, with a rating

range of 150 to 5,000 lb. The Electrical

and Instrumentation scope included

procurement and installation of

88,000 m of cabling, light fittings, tub-

ing, switches, control and junction

boxes. Also included were the installa-

tion of HV and LV switchboards and

control panels, and associated cable

tray and cable racks.

The vessel’s existing ventilation plant

was designed for North Sea utilisation

and not for tropical application.

Air Options, an SA Five-affiliated com-

pany, designed and engineered the

conversion of the USB and accomoda-

tion utilities services ventilation plant

into a full HVAC system. In these

HVAC plants, Air Options utilised the

air handling units that it designed and

Subsea Components

Flowlines, umbilicalsand risersTo produce the oil and gas reservoirs,

the Glas Dowr is linked to six subsea

wells by flexible flowlines and risers,

and hydraulic umbilicals for Xmas tree

control. The flowlines range in size

from 5.75-in. to 9-in. internal diameter,

while the umbilical outside diameters

fall in the range 135 mm to 235 mm.

The flexible flowlines and risers link-

ing the six wells to the FPSO’s turret

were manufactured in Le Trait, France.

The umbilicals, used to control the

subsea Xmas trees and to flow chemi-

cals and lift gas to the production

wells, were made in Newcastle,

England.

Completionprocurement andservicesBaker Oil Tools was awarded the com-

pletion procurement and services con-

tract for the Sable field project. The

primary objectives during completion

design were to ensure trouble-free

installation and reliable performance,

and so prevent any costly delays.

Following award of the contract, the

original proposals prepared by Baker’s

regional office in London were

finalised, with the support of Houston

headquarters and the close co-

operation of PetroSA’s completion and

drilling department in Cape Town.

Final designs were approved in

June 2001.

The Premier® Removable Packer

(designed for large-bore and high-vol-

ume production or injection wells)

was selected as the primary produc-

tion/injection packer. To complete the

system, gas lift mandrels have been

installed for artificial lift and gas kick-

off, while permanent gauges enable

real-time well monitoring at all times.

Standard and well-proven, non-elas-

tomeric T-Series™ Tubing Retrievable

Subsurface Safety Valves were used as

downhole safety devices. Due to the

different tubing sizes needed in the

various wells, different valve sizes

were installed. Conventional slick-

line-deployed blanking plugs and

check valves were used to perform the

necessary tubing pressure tests, and

activate hydraulically set production

packers.

It was originally assumed that an isola-

tion device was needed in the E-CE5 gas

injector well to isolate the bottom part

of the wellbore for startup, allowing

injection in the upper half of the well-

bore, only. It was envisaged that this iso-

lation device would later be opened

remotely, to enable injection across the

entire wellbore. Baker Oil Tools offered

a unique solution, based on an annulus-

pressure-operated HCM™ Hydraulic

Sliding Sleeve. However, the shales that

were expected to separate the two parts

of the wellbore were not encountered

during drilling, and the isolation device

was subsequently not installed.

manufactured in its factory, and

matched them to a direct-expansion,

sea water-cooled refrigeration plant.

This plant was designed and manufac-

tured at its Blackheath factory.

While the vessel was in port,

Air Options was asked to overhaul and

check the performance and design of

the existing HVAC plant serving the

main accommodation section.

Baker Oil Tools ensured that all com-

pletion equipment was designed,

manufactured, tested and shipped

within specified timeframes and

performed as designed.

Subsea landing stringThe contract for the subsea landing

strings was awarded to the Expro

Group, whose monobore, subsea inter-

vention and completion landing string

(with integrated, surface hydraulic con-

trol system) has an excellent track

record for reliable and successful com-

pletion operations. Such reliability is

vital for a development such as Sable,

as the subsea landing string is the pri-

mary safety system for controlling well

pressure during completion and inter-

vention operations on horizontal sub-

sea trees.

The innovative, ball valve technology

used by Expro provides dual barrier

isolation, capable of cutting up to 2

3/8-in. heavy-wall coiled tubing while

still offering a gas-tight seal. Expro has

designed the subsea landing string to

include an integrated hydraulic circuit,

so that well pressure can be isolated,

and the subsea wellhead and comple-

tion equipment can also be controlled.

It also enables the landing string to be

disconnected in less than one minute,

if operational conditions require this.

The entire completion string was

managed by the integrated hydraulic

control systems, including the subsea

intervention tree, retainer valve, lubri-

cator valve, and surface flowhead.

Third-party hydraulic functions for the

tubing hanger running tool, and com-

pletion equipment below the tubing

hanger, were also controlled through

a single umbilical.

The modular landing string was

designed to API standards for subsur-

face safety systems. It enabled accu-

sea tree equipment was also sub-

jected to thorough site testing. In

addition, minor modifications

were performed at Mossel Bay to

the tooling package’s workover

controls. These alterations meant

that the tooling package could

then be used with the Sable subsea

tree, which had a slightly different

valve configuration.

An operations manager, responsi-

ble for onshore logistics and instal-

lation services, was appointed

before the equipment was

received. The operations manager

remained at Mossel Bay until all

the equipment had been success-

fully installed, and the installation

tooling was refurbished and pre-

pared for long-term storage.

A Service Contract was executed

through FMC Technologies’ South

African legal entity.

selected from pre-engineered solu-

tions. The subsea tree design chosen

was based upon a modular design

that had previously been installed off-

shore South Africa. The subsea tree

equipment was designed, manufac-

tured and tested in FMC Kongsberg

Subsea’s facility in Dunfermline,

Scotland. As there were sufficient in

house stocks, it was possible to begin

manufacture immediately after award

of the contract.

All the equipment supplied by FMC

Kongsberg Subsea was modelled

using a state-of-the-art, 3-dimensional

CAD system. This allowed full inter-

face verification prior to manufacture,

and helped to reduce the manufactur-

ing cycle time.

PetroSA-owned installation tooling

that had previously been supplied

by FMC Kongsberg Subsea under-

went refurbishment in PetroSA’s

operations base at Mossel Bay. As

it arrived in South Africa, the sub-

rate space-out configuration in accor-

dance with the Sable project’s specif-

ic configuration. The landing string

was also compatible with both

drilling vessels used during the

drilling and completion operations. To

ensure a successful conclusion to the

contract, Expro’s team of experienced

subsea engineers managed an exten-

sive integration and test programme.

Subsea treesIn June 2001, FMC Kongsberg Subsea,

a business unit of FMC Technologies

(FTI), was awarded the contract for six

subsea trees with integral over-

trawlable protection. The 5-inch hori-

zontal subsea trees (5,000 psi) were

installed in the one existing and five

new drill wells.

Because of the project’s fast-track

nature, the first subsea tree had to be

delivered to Mossel Bay before the

end of 2001. To ensure that this deliv-

ery date was met, equipment was

Well Drilling and Completion Operations

Drilling through the complex litholo-

gies associated with the offshore for-

mations in South Africa presents a

number of distinct challenges. When

planning drilling activities at Sable

field, PetroSA used detailed analyses

of drilling performance, mud logging

data and wireline data from offset

wells that had been previously con-

ducted for wells in the area to help

identify potential problems. This

enabled PetroSA to set objectives for

individual hole sections using the

highest penetration rates possible,

while maintaining borehole quality

and directional goals.

The thin nature of the oil layers in the

E-BD and E-CE reservoirs meant that

all wells were drilled with extensive

horizontal sections, with the excep-

tion of E-BD3. This was an existing

vertical well, and it was recompleted

as a production well for the develop-

ment.

Pride Foramer was the contractor for

drilling operations that took place in

the Sable field. Pride provided the

drilling rigs and services used to drill

five wells and to re-enter the sixth E-

BD3 well.

Pride International is one of the

world’s largest drillling contractors,

and its 328-rig fleet includes 12 semi-

submersibles that act as floating off-

shore drilling rigs. One of these, the

Pride South Seas rig, was used to drill

the E-CE4 well. A second rig, Omega,

drilled wells E-CE5, E-BD6, E-BD7

and E-BD8, and it re-entered well

E-BD3. Drilling took place at a water

depth of approximately 100 m

between November 2001 and

December 2002.

Active throughout the world at depths

up to 7,000 m or more, Pride’s fleet

also includes 250 land-based drilling

and workover rigs, 21 offshore plat-

form rigs, three barge rigs, 35 jack-

ups, five tender-assisted rigs, and two

ultra-deepwater drill ships.
