Innovations in Design, Application and Methodology: Adding Value

to Deep Water Projects

Hybrid Cellular Tendon Design: Enabling TLPs for Ultra Deepwater and Large Hubs Jim Yu Tendon and Riser Systems Manager, INTECSEA

Cellular tendon design, initially introduced in 2013, enables the use of TLPs for ultra-deepwater developments as well as production hubs. The design has now further developed to the Hybrid Cellular Tendon (HCT) alternative, which accommodates current standard industry practices for fabrication, transportation and installation, similar to those for conventional tendons. In this presentation, the system and component level design of the HCT is demonstrated as well as the performance, risk profile, and the advantages over the conventional tendon design. The construction, installation, and economics of HCT are also discussed, along with a case study.

Life-of-Field Flow Assurance and Production Chemical ProgramJianlin Cai Flow Assurance Manager, INTECSEA

Multiple decades of oil and gas experience have highlighted the criticality of flow assurance to successful field performance. INTECSEA has developed a life-of-field approach to optimize capital and minimize operational costs. The approach includes upfront analysis, followed up with a systematic program for managing chemical usage and maintenance activities.

The Low-Motion FPSO: a Novel, SCR and TTR Friendly Floater Alaa Mansour Marine Engineering Manager, INTECSEA

Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) is not a feasible host for Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) or Top Tensioned Risers (TTRs) in most environments. INTECSEA has developed a new design, the Low Motion FPSO (LM-FPSO), with the ability to host the SCRs and TTRs for wet and dry tree systems, respectively. Alaa Mansour will present an overview of the new design and review a case study where the riser-friendly LM-FPSO is utilized to support TTRs and SCRs in harsh environment.

FLEXASTM: Validation of Dropped Objects and Flexible Riser Nonlinear Simulations Arya Majed Technical Advisor, INTECSEA

The unique capabilities of the FLEXASTM advanced general purpose nonlinear solver have now been successfully validated for deep water dropped object trajectory prediction. With this success, FLEXASTM can directly lead to dramatic improvements in deep water risk and cost management. In addition, INTECSEA’s application of FLEXASTM to global simulations of flexible risers will be discussed.

Meeting Deepwater Technology Challenges in a Cost Constrained Market

PANEL SESSION:

As the industry moves forward facing next generation technical challenges such as 3,000+ meter water depths, 20,000+ psi wells, 300F+ temperatures and longer tiebacks in a low oil-price market, how will operators continue deepwater development and still meet project economic goals? This question and other related issues will be discussed by a panel of recognized industry leaders.

Lunch will follow at 12 p.m.
