MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO

Hydrocarbons - Reserves and ProductionKnown world oil resources - offshore –by depth, trillion barrels (Tbo)Shallow water(0-300 m) 4.4 Tbo - 34%

Deep water(300-1500 m) 5.7 Tbo - 45%

Ultra-deep water(> 1500 m) 2.7 Tbo - 21%

Total 12.8 Tbo

Global oil production

Offshore oil: 34% in 2004, 39% in 2015Most growth in oil and gas production in deep water assets

10


Requirements (incomplete list):• scalability, adaptability to meet changing strategic production profiles• real-time access to all relevant data, integrated data management

• data analysis should be centralized in the operators Expert Center

• modeling, simulation, visualization, optimization, automation

• fault tolerant control systems – complete system must meet required SIL

• best usability with extended maintenance intervals (3-5 years min.)

SIL = Safety Integrity Level (1 to 3 (4))



11


Key Advantages:• new technology needs less personnel (at least at the remote Assets)

• increased safety and security due to submerged / unmanned facilities

• cross linking of various data sources = optimal management of resources

• suitable for harsh and arctic conditions and (ultra-) deep water

• lower CAPEX and OPEX with improved production rate! (subsea separation, water re-injection, multiphase boosting, wet gas compression, etc.)



12


Possible disadvantages / problems:• new technology often requires highly qualified personnel (at Expert Centers)

• problematic flow assurance due to (very) long step-out distances

• increased maintenance intervals are problematic for materials (seals etc.)

• costly subsea interventions

• few long term operating experience with UW Systems =still prejudice in the industry = acceptance not satisfying

• High-Tech-Systems are highly complicated and are susceptible to faults =less OPEX (over life-cycle) are not yet proved

• mainly proprietary technique, few ‘open’ Interfaces (e.g. IWIS Initiative)



IWIS = Intelligent Well Interface Standardization

13


Solution Strategy: Asset integrity Management SystemsRelevant Campaigns in the last decade:

► iFields (ChevronTexaco)

► Field of the Future (BP, Schlumberger)

► SmartFields (Shell)

► Digital oilfield of the future (many others)

Project ISUP –‚Integrated Systems for Underwater Productionof Hydrocarbons‘ www.isup-go-subsea.de

PROJECT ISUP

ISUP is funded by: Project partners:

Four Main Subprojects:a modular extendable installation and assembly platform

a multifunctional, partly autonomous seafloor working unit forinstallation, operation, enlargement and dismantling tasks

a multiphase booster system to increase the production rateand for flow assurance over long distances to the processing plant

a modular control and automation system (IMPaC-dCAS) with "open" interfaces for the complete (UW) production plant

• safety, availability and reliability have top priority!• depth rated: 2000 m, step-out distance to shore: 100 km• redundant components and functions• (near) real-time access to all ‚intelligent‘ (Subsea) Modules

• bi-direktional communication based on a UW-LAN• structural partition of process control issues, safety issues and

others (e.g. networking)• ‘open’ Interfaces in hardware and software• Developments based on relevant standards (complying e.g. IEC 61508,

IEC 61131, ISO 13628-5,-6, etc.)

Conclusion / Perspectives

• The Market requires - and constantly provides - new Solutions for reliable production of Hydrocarbons - from all water depths!

• Skilled Personnel is rare! New techniques allow centralized onlineAsset integrity Management – via Internet – out of Expert Centers

• Components must guarantee optimal uptime – replacementsat deep water developments are challenging in costs and procedures

• Future developments promise to be fully integrated –from environmentally sound production to online monitoring

a promising field also for future co-operations betweenproduction Industry and monitoring Specialists!
