1 Introduction

1.1 Purpose
The objective of this Basis of Design is to provide a basis to be used for design/
adaptation of a new topsides facility for the Yme New Development Project. This
Basis of Design will also control the design development throughout each project
phase and between project phases. Together with a Regulatory Compliance Plan
(ref Error! Reference source not found.), the BoD will form the technical basis
for the project.
All work to be performed in the Yme New Development project shall comply with
the latest revision of Basis of Design (BOD); deviations from the BOD shall be
subject to Management of Change (MOC).

1.2 Yme Field and License Information


The Yme Field is located approximately 100 km from the Norwegian coastline, in
the Egersund basin in the central part of the North Sea. The water depth is 93m.
The field consists of two main structures: Yme Beta and Yme Gamma, which are
located approximately 12 km apart.
The Gamma structure was discovered in 1987 and in 1990 oil was proven in the
Beta structure.
Current License owners are:
Repsol Norge AS (operator): 60 %
Lotos Exploration and Production Norge AS: 20 %
Kufpec Norway AS: 10 %
OKEA AS: 10%

1.3 Project Background


Statoil developed the field using Mrsk Giant Jack-Up Drilling rig with processing
facilities and a separate storage vessel for production in the period 1996-2001,
achieving a cumulative production of 51 mmstb. The field was abandoned in

Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

2001 following low oil prices and significant requirements for investments in the
field.
Paladin Resources was awarded the license as operator from Norwegian
Authorities in 2004 and initiated work for a new Plan for Development and
Operation (PDO) for the Yme field. Paladin was acquired by Talisman in 2005
which was granted permission to re-develop the field in 2007 based on an
estimated 66 mmstb remaining reserves.
The basis for the re-development was the use of a Mobile Offshore Production
Unit with Storage (MOPUstor) at the Gamma location, and tie-back of subsea
templates at the Beta location. All wells were drilled and subsea equipment,
including subsea storage tank and caisson, were installed on the field prior to
arrival of the MOPU. Due to safety reasons the MOPU was evacuated in 2012
and finally removed in 2016.
In 2015 the Joint Venture decided to abandon the PDO and initiate work to
abandon the field.
Changing market conditions in 2016 provided a potential for lease of existing
Jack-Up rig, FPSO and general reduction in rates and costs which represents a
new opportunity for the Yme field.

1.3.1 Project Description


The Yme New Development Concept is based on lease of either a production
facility or a combined production and drilling facility installed on the Gamma
location. A new wellhead module will be made to be installed on top of the
existing caisson. The project will consider either a redeployment, intercept or new
build.

The existing wells, caisson, pipelines, subsea templates shall be reused and the
existing storage tank and subsea offloading system can be reused based on
proposal.

Some repair work is required on existing facilities, most notably a Caisson


Permanent Support and SLS.
A new subsea development on the Beta North structure will be tied in to the
existing subsea infrastructure.
At present, five (5) new wells is planned to be drilled, including one (1) producer
and one (1) water injector at Beta North and two (2) producers and one (1) water
injector at Gamma.
The layout of the Yme New Development Facilities is shown in Figure 1-2.

4 Field Description

4.1 Reservoir Description and Subsurface Evaluation


The Yme field is made of two separate hydrocarbon accumulation clusters, Beta
and Gamma, which are split into smaller segments. The reserves in the Yme field
are located in the middle Jurassic Sandnes formation which is a shallow marine
shore face deposit. The top reservoir depth is 3100-3200 m TVDSS. Pressure
measurements in the 2009 2010 development wells drilled by Talisman
indicated pressures of around 340 bars and 327 bars in Beta East and Gamma
structures respectively, compared to a pre-production virgin pressure of 360 bars
at the same depth. The oil is 37 API oil with a GOR ranging from 61.3
Sm/Smfor Gamma to 54.4 Sm/Sm for Beta. The permeability of the reservoir
is ranging from 1-1000 mD and the core porosity from 12-24%.
The reservoir technical data base for the Yme reservoirs is extensive compared
to the size of the field, as a result of earlier production by Statoil. The well data
base contains of 38 wells:
9 exploration / appraisal wells 1987 1999
17 development wellbores 1996 2000
1 exploration well 2005
11 development wellbores 2009 2010
There is also 5 years of production history from 1996 2001. Extensive work has
been performed since 2010 in order to update all geophysical, geological, petro-
physical and reservoir technical models on Yme, incorporating all the new
information from the drilling campaign in 2009/2010 and reprocessed seismic on
Yme Beta (PSDM).
The reservoir technical models where history-matched to 5 years of production
and to the pressures observed in 2009 - 2010. New predictions, optimization of
drainage strategy and drilling campaigns where performed.

grouped together as they are the segments in Gamma with the longest
production history (and therefore the smallest uncertainty range)

4.2 Drainage Strategy


The main drainage strategy for the Yme reservoir is produced water reinjection in
order to support reservoir pressure. The produced gas will be injected in WAG
cycles in Gamma West. Water injection is needed in order to optimize recovery
and production rates from the field. Natural aquifers are present and will
contribute to maintaining the reservoir pressure in most areas, but produced
water reinjection will be required to optimize reservoir recovery.

Rev.: 01

The existing production wells are open-hole completed with long horizontal
sections located in the high permeable layers in the reservoir; hence there will be
limited or no possibilities to shut-off water production from individual zones.
Therefore, a significant amount of produced water will have to be handled during
the life of field.
If more wells are drilled into the reservoirs on a later stage, sliding sleeves will be
evaluated to enable control of inflow from the individual branches, and to reduce
the water production, but this has not been included in the development plan at
this stage.
High power electrical submerged pumps (ESPs) are installed in both the Gamma
and Beta wells. Gas lift was included as a contingency back-up lift mechanism for
the subsea Beta production wells, for use in the event of dual ESP failure. When
the new Beta East wells were drilled in 2009, the reservoir pressure was 80 bars
higher than expected, proving a significantly higher aquifer support. Gas lift is
now the preferred artificial lift mechanism on Beta. This solution reduces
uncertainty and cost related to the ESP changes on subsea wells, and due to the
higher than anticipated pressure support in Beta, it results in a minimal reserves
reduction. For Platform wells (Gamma East location), existing ESPs will be
attempted started, with immediate change out if start fails.
The field GOR is low, some of the produced gas will be used as fuel for power
generation and the excess associated gas will be injected in WAG cycles in
Gamma West.
WAG in Gamma West is expected to lead to gas breakthrough, omitting the need
for ESPs in these wells. The resulting increase in GOR from these wells is
expected to remove need for artificial lift for start-up in later field life. Gas lift will
be installed to enable optimisation of production.

4.2.1 Injection Strategy


The current Yme development is based on long horizontal producers and
pressure support from down-flank water and gas injectors.
An evaluation with regards to drainage strategy and the degree of voidage that is
required to optimize production in each segment has been done. The evaluation
concluded that produced water reinjection appeared to be the best alternative.
See reference 49.

4.2.2 Evaluation of lift mechanism


The lift mechanisms were re-evaluated autumn 2016 (see reference 49). All
producers on Yme Gamma and Yme Beta are currently recompleted with a dual
set of ESP pumps. In addition, the Yme Beta subsea wells are completed with
gas lift as a backup system that can be used if and when the ESPs fail. Gas lift is
now the preferred artificial lift mechanism on Beta.
Gas injection in Gamma West results quickly in gas to liquid ratio above 200
Sm3/Sm3 in Gamma West producers. As a result, its not recommended to rely
on ESPs in Gamma West producers.
In Gamma East, ESPs give a better artificial lift and adds some reserves to Yme
Gamma. However, this benefit is counteracted by the additional cost of
workovers required by ESP replacements. The current recommendation is to
have gas lift in Gamma East, and to provide two VSDs to suit the 900 and 1200
hp ESP systems.

4.2.3 Evaluation of Oil Capacity and Liquid Handling Capacity


The subsurface optimisation study (reference 49) show required liquid handling
capacities. At this rate, the oil plateau is less than one year, which indicates the
optimum oil capacity need not be set in stone.
The final choice of capacities for the Yme field can be found in Table 4-3

4.2.4 Gas disposal Strategy


There is no gas export possibility on Yme. The gas production is limited, but is
expected to exceed the need for fuel gas. A Gas disposal solution is therefore a
necessity, allowing for full gas injection in the event of Fuel gas system being
unavailable.
When Statoil was operating Yme between 1996 and 2001, the excess gas was
injected in the A-5 well in the Gamma West structure between July 1996 and July
1998, then A-5 was used to dispose produced water, and the gas was injected in
the dry Epsilon prospect.
Reference 49 describes the gas disposal strategy in Yme. The plan for Yme is to
re-inject the excess produced gas in the C-5 and C-6 injectors in Gamma West in
water alternating gas (WAG) cycles. The cycle frequency is approximately 6
months.

4.2.5 Beta North


The most likely concept for Yme Beta North development is a template solution
placed in the vicinity of the Beta manifold and connected to the existing subsea
systems. During the last months the geological and reservoir technical models for
Yme Beta North have been updated. The reservoir model has been history
matched and an uncertainty evaluation of recoverable reserves has been done.

4.2.6 Infill drilling on Gamma


The current wells in Gamma and the wells that will be drilled from the three
remaining slots allow for an effective drainage of the high permeability zones in
Gamma. However, the drainage of lower permeability zones can only be
achieved by dedicating wells to these lower permeability zones. This may be
done by side-tracking existing wells. Alternatively, these reserves could be
accelerated by adding a new subsea template connected to Gamma

4.2.7 Gamma North East


When C-7 was drilled in 2010, the well hit the reservoir deeper than expected
and the development of the Gamma North East structure was considered un-
economical assuming the same oil/water contact depth as in Gamma North West.
The Gamma North East contact was revisited in the petro physical study,
showing that the log data and saturation-height functions are consistent with a
free water level at ~3243 m tvdss. The model starts to match the log interpreted
water saturation with a free water level at 3240.5 m tvdss. Because of the
uncertainty of this approach, a slightly more conservative FWL at 3239 m tvdss
was introduced in the Gamma North East structure, resulting in oil in place
volumes of 23 mmstb in the Gamma North East structure.
The considered development scenario for the Gamma North East structure is a
dual branch producer, with one branch on each side of the small fault modelled in
Gamma North East.

4.3 Reservoir Development Plan


4.3.1 Number and type of wells
The current Yme development is based on long horizontal producers and
pressure support from down-flank water injectors. The following producers and
injectors are drilled, completed and ready to be started as soon as a new
production facility is ready:
o Yme Gamma: four oil producers and two water injectors
o Yme Beta: two oil producers and one water injector (drilled from a subsea
template)

Gamma North West 9/2-C-3 T3 Oil Producer

Gamma South West 9/2-C-4 T2/ T3 Dual lateral

Table 4-2 Name and type of wells drilled in 2008 - 2010 campaign

All producers on Yme Gamma and Yme Beta are currently recompleted with a
dual set of ESP pumps. In addition, the Yme Beta subsea wells are also
completed with gas lift as a backup system that can be used if and when the
ESPs fail. On Beta, the current strategy is to use gas lift as the artificial lift
method during field life as it reduces the cost and uncertainty related to the
frequent ESP changes that are not desired on subsea wells.

In addition to these wells 5 new wells are planned to be drilled into the Yme
reservoirs as part of the base plan. The new wells are:
One new water injector into the Yme Gamma East flank
Two new oil producers on Yme Gamma: one on the South West flank and
one on the North East flank
One oil producer and one water injector drilled into the Yme Beta North
reservoir which is planned to be developed with a new template
connected to the existing subsea system at Yme Beta.
The production profiles include the production from all segments on Yme Gamma
and Beta including the Beta North Area.

4.4 Production Capacities


The following production and injection maximum capacities are set for the new
facilities:
Service Units Facility Design Rates
Produced Oil m3/d 6 500 - 9 000Note 4
Produced Water Treatment m3/d 12 500Note 5
Gross Produced Liquids m3/d 17 800Note 5
HP Gas Compression, Sm3/d 900 000
Dahydration and Injection 1 100 000Note 1
Gas Lift Sm3/d 700 000Note 2
Seawater De-aeration m3/d 6500Note 3
Produced Water Injection m3/d 13 000Note 5
Inlet Separator Pressure Barg 10
Note 1. 900 000 Sm3/d require two ESPs in operation. As far as
possible the plant shall be designed to achieve 1 100 000
Sm3/d (Full Gas Lift).
2. Only applicable for sizing of gas lift pipework etc.
3. Design to allow for future offshore installation of SW
treatment and injection facilities.
4. Given short expected plateau production, the maximum
oil capacity can be adjusted with limited economic impact.
5. Somewhat lower rates may be acceptable as long as this
does not significantly impact oil production (see profiles in
chapter 5.2).

Table 4-3 Production Capacities

The reservoir is to produce against an inlet pressure (@ Gamma wing valves and
Beta riser valve) of 13 barg. The first stage separator will operate around 10
barg.
The capacities listed in the table above are subsurface restrictions based on
stream day rates. Individual equipment design rates will differ to achieve the
above rates.

4.4.1 Gas handling capacity


The range indicated in gas handling capacity reflects the change in artificial lift
strategy. The original plan (initial Yme Re-Development in 2006) was that the
Beta wells would produce with ESPs for three years before failure and then gas
lift would come in operation for one year.
With Gas Lift now being the prepared option also for Gamma West and with the
expectation of Gas Breakthrough following gas injection the required gas
capacity is significantly increased.
Only the two wells in Gamma East will have ESPs connected, and even for
these wells, Gas Lift will be an option when pumps fail.

5 Fluid Profiles
Production profiles are obtained from two reservoir models, one from Gamma
and one from Beta. They are constrained in each model so that combined flow is
in line with total facility capacities: 1/3 for Beta and 2/3 for Gamma.

5.1 Production Schedule


Production start is scheduled for September 2019 with six wells pre-drilled on
Gamma (4 x oil producers and 2 x WAG injectors) and three subsea wells from
Yme Beta (2 x oil producers and 1 x Water injector).
Soon after production start, 3 new wells will be drilled from the remaining Gamma
slots. Beta North will be developed in 2020, most likely with a new template and a
producer / injector pair.
The existing Gamma wells have also been identified as suitable for sidetracks at
a later date when watercut increases, and infill targets will be matured further.
Sidetracks are not included in the base case profiles.

5.2 Production Profiles


The pre-drilled wells will be phased to allow an initial oil production level of
54.000 stb/d (approx 54 000 Sm3/d). If oil rates are restricted further by existing
facilities, the phasing of wells will be changed. The oil production rate will decline,
as water cut develops.
The base reserves for this re-development scenario are approximately 50 million
bbls. Production profiles (oil, gas, produced and injected water) are included in
the following graphs, with individual well production rates also tabulated
(Appendix 1).
Yme PVT data have been reviewed and three compositions will be used,
distinguishing between the Yme Gamma, Beta East and the Beta North reservoir
respectively (reference 12, 13).
The facilities system design, with the use of the 4 service line for Gas Lift,
permits the use of gas lift in Beta wells. Although gas lift was not the preferred lift
mechanism in the first Yme redevelopment and considered as a back-up solution
only, it is now chosen as the field life-time artificial lift solution for the Beta wells in
order to avoid costly work-overs on subsea wells. An allowance is to be made in
the topsides design to supply to approximately 700,000 Sm/d of lift gas to Beta
and Gamma production wells.

The following graphs and production tables (Appendix 1) identify:


Production profiles for oil, produced water, gross liquids, and gas (all data
is presented as stream day rates without any system availability impacts),
Graph displaying water production and injection.

As a consequence of reservoir modelling and history matching the 1996-2001


production, the oil production has a sharp decline, as water arrives early. The
initial well start-up is staggered to maximise of oil/gas production within plant
capacity constraints.

HP, Test and Total capacities show the basis for generating the profiles.
Adapting to existing facilities or when designing new these are guidelines.

Figure 5-2 Yme Produced Water profile and capacity restrictions

In the figure, water profiles for Gamma and total production are shown for
simulations using Gas Lift or ESPs on Gamma East. Although use of ESPs is
planned, these are expected to fail at regular intervals, so the figure above show
the range of expected water production rates.

As can be seen from the figure above, the produced water design capacity
requested/ shown is higher than the profiles show (for HP, Test and total
capacity). If significant cost savings can be made by reducing spare capacity,
reduced capacities shall be proposed by contractor.

As for produced water profiles the capacities quoted are higher than the shown

Figure 5-5 Gas Rates for Yme - Gas Lift used to lift all wells (incl. Gamma
East)

The two previous figures show gas Rates for Yme (Associated Gas plus Gas Lift
Gas). The first figure with the lower gas rates are based on ESPs on Gamma
East peaks at 900,000 Sm3/d. The second profile use Gas Lift as artificial lift
method for all wells, including Gamma East, and require a maximum gas rate of
1,100,000 Sm3/d.
The plant shall be designed to enable the higher rate. However, if there are
existing plant capacity restrictions which still allow the lower rate, reducing the
ultimate gas capacity shall be discussed with company.
The gas plant shall allow for all produced gas to be re-injected, using Water
Alternating Gas injection in C-5 and C-6 (WAG).
The gas rates in Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5 exceeds the stipulated total capacity
figures. This is due to the simulation applying a regularity factor of 0.97 for the
wells that is not included in these stream day rates.

Figure 5-6 Yme Water Injection Profiles

In the figure, profiles for Gamma Water Injection are shown for production using
both Gas Lift and ESPs on Gamma East. Although use of ESPs is planned,
these are expected to fail at regular intervals, so the figure above show the range
of expected water production rates.
The capacities quoted are higher than the shown Yme requirements. If significant
cost savings can be made by reducing spare capacity, reduced capacities shall
be proposed by contractor.
Yme has three pre-drilled water injectors, one in Beta East, and two in Gamma
West. The Gamma injectors can also be used to inject gas in a WAG regime. In
2019-2020, two additional water injectors will be drilled: one on the Gamma East
flank and one in Beta North.
For Gamma and Beta fields, simulations indicate that Produced Water
Reinjection gives a satisfactory reservoir sweep. As the rapid pressure decline in
B-3H production history indicates, Beta North is the only segment in Yme that is
not supported by a strong aquifer. The injection strategy on Beta North is
different, with additional water injection for pressure maintenance. The
unproduced Gamma North East segment is also expected to require more water
injection than the other Yme segments.

The figure above show Injection gas rates, alternating in WAG wells C-5 and C-6
in the Gamma West formation.

5.3 Pressure Profiles


5.3.1 Production Wells
Gamma production (platform) wells will operate at close to the Yme production
facility HP separator operating pressure (approximately 10 barg).
Subsea wells on Beta will work against the backpressure of the topsides plant
and pipeline. Expected wellhead pressure for Beta on high gas lift rates are in the
area of 35 50 barg. Reduction of lift gas rates or one well operation will see this
reduced with up to 20 bar.
Slugging is expected in the pipeline and riser, especially for low production rates
with low/ without gas lift operation.

5.3.2 Injection Wells


Statoil experience with gas and water injection experience in Yme Gamma West
was from well A-5. The well was cemented and perforated. The injectivity test
with water proved low injectivity. The well was for a period on gas injection and in
1998 due to insufficient quality of the processed water, produced water had to be
injected in this well. The total dissolved solids in the produced water is 196 000
ppm.

A-5 was:
On continuous gas injection Jan 97 Jun 98
On continuous water injection Jul 98- Jan 2001
The gas injection pressure in Statoils A-5 well stayed below 250 bar and water
injection pressure is generally below 200 bar with exception of a few short
periods. Experience from this well has been used in simulating performance of
YND injection wells.
As seen in Figure 5-8 tubing injection pressure in WAG wells C-5 and C-6 is
mostly below 150 bar when injecting water, with an exception of first day after
converting from gas to water in WAG injectors. Injection pressures from Gamma
West well C8 and the two Beta injectors is lower.

Figure 5-9 shows tubing head pressure (THP), and gas injection rate in wells C-5
and C-6 which are injectors in Gamma West used for WAG injection. As can be
seen from the figure, the gas injection pressure is mostly below 200 bar (except
first day after converting from water to gas).

Water injection pressures for the remaining wells on Gamma East (C-8), Beta
East (D-3H) and Beta North are lower than for the Gamma West wells.

temperature, and will require operational management, typically wax inhibitor

5.5 Closed in Tubing Head Pressures


Closed in tubing head pressures have been determined based on the reservoir
pressure when drilling the wells for the Yme redevelopment project in 2009 and
2010. These pressures are close to the virgin pressures recorded at the initial
development of the Yme field in the 1990s, as can be seen below. Any further

natural recharging or over injecting bringing the reservoir pressure equal to or


above Virgin pressure is unlikely, therefore the Reservoir pressure recorded in
2009 is used. A range of possible drive mechanisms may be used: natural drive,
gas lift (assuming tubing filled with gas) and Electrical Submersible Pumps
(ESP). The wells and subsea equipment has been designed to these
specifications.

6.2 Crude Oil Analysis


Three crude oil compositions have been selected to represent the Gamma and
Beta reservoir fluids (reference 12, 13). With the addition of a higher GOR well in
Beta North West after a couple of years, two compositions are given here to
allow assessment of flow assurance and any topsides impact for the different
fluid composition.
The Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation of state (SRK) with Peneloux volume
correction was found suitable to match to welltest data. A common 22 component
EOS characterisations with 12 C7+ pseudo components were used for all Yme
PVT regions and tuned to match the available separator tests, single flashes and
saturation pressures.

Table 6-2 Reservoir Fluid's Composition (HYSYS input format)

Separate compositions were also created for Gamma South East (reference 13),
but will not be used for design, as there are few/ no wells in these areas.
Although main design shall be based on well profiles as given in Appendix 1,
sensitivities to this design should be performed with Gamma W only and Beta E
only composition to ensure process design is robust.
The GOR for these compositions are from 61.3 Sm3/ Sm3 for Gamma West, to
54.4 Sm3/ Sm3 for Beta East. Beta North West has a GOR of about 63 Sm3/
Sm3.

Table 6-6 Formation and Seawater Compositions

6.5 Hydrogen Sulphide and Carbon Dioxide


H2S is formed by the metabolic activity of sulphate reducing bacteria, SRB, or is
naturally occurring in the reservoir. Since the Yme reservoir does not contain
any significant amounts of naturally occurring H2S, it can only be produced by
SRB activity. In the oil field this occurs when sea water containing sulphate is
introduced to the reservoir fluids allowing the SRB's sufficient nutrients and
growth conditions to generate H2S. When Statoil operated Yme, no H2S was
reported to be produced with the fluids or gas. Sea water injection was limited
and none of it was reported to be produced back in any of the wells. Therefore it
is not likely that any H2S would have been back-produced either.
A study was conducted by Oil Plus (reference 23) which looked at the injection of
the following source waters after being supplied with relevant Yme data:
Raw (aerated) sea water
De-aerated sea water
Co-mingled sea water and produced water
Produced water
Because of the high reservoir temperature, 108-114C, and high salinity, ca. 200
000 mg/l (TDS), the study indicates that the souring potential is generally low.

Rev.: 01

Table 6-7 summarise the results.


Injection Water Scenario Souring Potential
Raw sea water injection Low/moderate
Deaerated sea water Low
Commingled sea water and Low
produced water
Produced water injection only Very low

Table 6-7 Injection water souring potential

Shock dosing and continuous injection of Biocide should be planned for in the
process and/or water treatment system.
Reservoir souring is possible during field life as a result of seawater injection if
the option for future installation is exercised. The process plant should be
designed for sour service in the event that earlier seawater injection and possible
sea water injection in the future lead to higher H2S levels.
CO2 content of reservoir fluid is given in section 6.2. CO2 flashing from saturated
Produced Water may lead to high CO2 concentration in degassing lines, and
elevated CO2 concentrations in gas plant towards end of field life when oil
production is low and water production high.

6.6 Wax
Wax content and associated properties have been measured on oil from 3
exploration wells by Statoil; 9/2 1, 9/2 3 and 9/2 4S. The wax properties are
based on an evaluation of these samples (reference 32)

6.6.1 Wax Appearance Temperature


For design purposes, the Wax Appearance temperature to be used is 42C.

6.6.2 Pour Point


For design purposes, the Pour Point to be used is -2C.
Testing conducted in 2014 by Kernow Analytical Technology Ltd. indicate that
WAT (and corresponding melting temperatures) especially for Beta fluid may
be somewhat lower than indicated above. Due to the age of the samples (15
years) and uncertainty as to sampling conditions, the design shall be based on
the figures above.
The use of pour point depressant in the initial production phase, with verification
measurements of the crude will be considered as part of flow assurance work.

6.7 Asphaltenes
It is not expected that asphaltene flocculation will occur as a function of pressure
depletion at the reservoir temperature of 103 C. Asphaltene flocculation has
been observed in laboratory tests with the addition of lift gas, and is therefore a
risk for Beta production. Asphaltene inhibitor injection quills are located in gas lift
supply subsea, upstream x-mas tree, and dedicated injection facilities shall be
available for use during gas lift operation.
With Gas Lift now being chosen lift strategy for Gamma West, and optional for
Gamma East wells, Asphaltene injection and distribution facilities shall reflect
this. Optimal injection point is downhole, upstream of gas lift valve.

Page 41 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

Asphaltenes could be experienced in the event that producing wells experience


injection gas breakthrough. In such a case stimulation/ flushing with solvents
might be required.
See also reference 51.

6.8 Scale
There is a high potential for scaling at Yme, in the wells, in the reservoir and in
the production facilities;
Barium and strontium Sulphate forms when mixed with seawater,
Carbonate scale forms with changing pressure and temperature,
Iron scale deposits may also occur in the well.
Scale control will be a combination of continuous scale inhibitor injection, scale
squeezes and acid treatments.
Continuous scale inhibitor injection is required upstream of ESPs, upstream of
the production chokes and in the processing facilities where (produced and fresh)
water of different compositions are mixed and subjected to pressure and
temperature changes. Details can be found in reference 1.
Scale prediction results suggest that the injection of produced water gives the
lowest barite (BaSO4) scale saturation index.
Under seawater only injection, moderate barite and anhydrite (CaSO4) scaling is
expected when the injected seawater reaches the producers. The scale
deposition near the wellbore formation can be prevented by scale inhibitor
squeeze treatments. If relevant, Produced Water shall be kept physically
separate from Seawater in the topsides injection plant
Regular scale inhibitor squeezes are required for Yme to control both calcite and
barite scale deposition in the near wellbore formation (Ref 51). Scale inhibitor
should also be added into the produced water to prevent scale deposition on the
surface facilities.

6.9 Hydrate Formation


6.9.1 Hydrate Formation on Gamma and Beta
PVT sim, version 182, was used to produce the hydrate formation curves from
Yme Beta with various salt concentrations. Points to note are:
The formation water at Yme has high salt concentration and act as an
inhibitor itself. The formation water is characterised by very high salinity
and high content of Calcium. The level of Barium was uncertain at the
time of hydrate simulation. This was due to contaminated samples, and
potential error in the analytical method used. Barium value is confirmed to
be below 100 mg/l.
For more details on the study reference is made to Yme Hydrate Manual
(reference 6)

6.9.2 Main Hydrate Conclusions


From reference 6 the main conclusions can be summarised as follows:
There is a potential for Yme fluid to create hydrates prior to producing
formation water. The potential for forming hydrates is low when producing
formation water, but increases again if seawater concentration increases
in the production fluids (injection water recycle in reservoir),
Facilities should be provided to permit hydrate inhibition of the production,
gas injection and service lines,

Page 42 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

Hydrate temperature for pure water and reservoir fluid from Gamma West,
Sandnes formation, at bubble-point is approximately 13 C. The effect of
the salt concentration brings the hydrate equilibrium temperature down to
1 C,
For the Beta East, Sandnes formation, the hydrate temperature formation
is uncertain (suggest 23 C). But the study concludes the formation water
could bring the hydrate equilibrium temperature down to below 6 C,
Hydrate risk in a gas-lift situation shall be considered.
Hydrate mitigation procedures associated with Scale squeezes in Beta
wells must be developed

6.9.3 Hydrate Strategy


Hydrate procedures will be prepared at a later stage as part of flow assurance
considerations in the design phase. (Reference 35).
Methanol has been selected as the primary inhibitor.
Yme equipment shall be designed to withstand use of Methanol.

6.9.4 Hydrate Curve


The following curves should be used as guideline together with the Yme Hydrate
Manual (reference 6).

6.10 Separation Issues


When Yme was last produced, the license was penalised on oil price due to high
salt concentration in the final product. The Yme separation process should be
designed to ensure export oil specification is met. (Table 10-1)

Page 43 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

6.10.1 Salinity
The salinity of the formation water is high. The chloride content is in the order of
120,000 ppm.
Good water/oil separation is necessary to avoid reduced sales prices of the crude
due to the salinity of the residual formation water in the export crude. Due to this
high salinity of the formation water, the quality of the oil is sensitive to BS&W.

6.10.2 Emulsions and Foams


Statoil experienced formation of stable emulsions in the separators. Laboratory
tests and production experience confirmed the emulsion problem. Heating and
use of chemical is required to obtain a high quality sales product. The very high
salinity of the produced water, results in high salt content under normal BS&W
specification.
Heating subsea tieback to allow Inlet Separator temperature to approach 80C is
required. Limited emulsion studies have been conducted, see reference 24.
Foam inhibitor injection shall be allowed for; especially as gas lift is required
already during first production year. Available information does not indicate that
this was an issue when Yme was produced previously.
Low shear choke valves could be considered to reduce severity of emulsions.

6.11 Corrosion and Materials


There is a corrosion risk with Yme fluids due to the presence of CO2, possible
H2S and high salinity, combined with a reservoir temperature of 110C. Several
corrosion study reports are available from the original Yme development, for
example reference 7.
The plant shall be designed for sour service.
The Beta pipelines are made of carbon steel, and corrosion protection shall be
designed accordingly.

6.12 Chemical Injection Requirements


In the previous phase of the Yme project, chemical selection and qualification
were carried out by Nalco with support from independent laboratories. The
results of this process are presented in the following three tables. Information
from tables can be used for equipment design and system verification, although
prior to start-up, the chemical selection will be reviewed.
Information below is a starting point. The actual storage capacities may be
adjusted in agreement with Company to suit existing facilities.

7 Drilling and Wells


High level requirements and details for the Yme drilling facilities can be found in
reference 45, Basis of Design Drilling and Completion.

7.1 Well Design Principles


In total six wells (4 producers and 2 injectors) at Yme Gamma and three wells (2
producers and 1 injector) at Yme Beta have been drilled, completed and
temporarily abandoned. For the remaining three Yme Gamma well slots, two
have 30 conductors installed and one has a 30 conductor as well as a 14
surface casing installed. There are no spare well slots at Yme Beta. Operations
and design has been performed according to Repsol Policy and NORSOK D-010.
For the Yme New Development project it is important to utilize all the well slots at
Yme Gamma. Two of the three available slots will be drilled and completed as
producers and one as an injector. The well placement and trajectory design for
the future infill wells and potential sidetracks will be evaluated with respect to the
best drainage strategy.

7.2 Yme Gamma


The Yme Gamma wells were drilled by Jack-up rig Mrsk Giant. The derrick was
skidded over to the caisson and the wells were drilled trough the caissons well
guides. The Wellheads and x-mas trees are located on the upper caisson deck.

7.3 Yme Beta


The Yme Beta wells were drilled by the jack-up rigs Mrsk Guardian (top hole
sections) and Mrsk Giant (remaining sections and completions) above a 3-slot
subsea template which was later tied back to the Yme Gamma location.
A new subsea template is required for additional wells (Beta North). This will be
connected up to existing manifold through jumpers, and interface to existing
design by meeting the same design parameters.

7.4 Artificial Lift


7.4.1 Basis of design
During pre-studies of Yme Re-Development project it was identified that artificial
lift was required based on reservoir studies, experience from Statoil, economics
analysis, and historical experience. Electrical Submersible Pumps (ESPs) were
selected as the primary artificial lift method on both the Gamma and Beta
producers.
In YME Future Development Project (2012-2014) the preferred artificial lift
solution for Beta was changed to gaslift. Main reason for changing artificial lift
strategy on Beta was that when the wells were drilled, the reservoir showed
better qualities then expected in the Yme-redevelopment. As a result of the
higher quality reservoir the difference between ESP and Gas Lift was much
smaller than first anticipated. As a result of changing to gas lift the production
uptime will be higher, and well workover cost will be significantly reduced.
The Yme New Development project has further looked into artificial lift. Prosper
simulations shows that it is only C1 and C7 that will have a greater production
from using ESPs as the artificial lift method. The other wells will be producing
more or less the same with gas lift. ESP workover cost will be significantly
reduced compared with the artificial lift solution proposed previously.

7.4.1.1 ESP Gamma


ESP will be the preferred artificial lift method only in wells C1 and C7. Both these
wells are located in Gamma East reservoir section, and will be supported by C8
water injection. The wells on Gamma West will be supported by the injectors C5
& C6. These wells will not be pure water injector wells as C8, but alternating gas/
water injection. Gas break though is expected to happen after 6-12 month in
GSW, and GNW with very high GOR. Therefore, the other wells than C1 and C7

Page 51 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

will not be suited for ESP as too high gas content in the well stream will lead to
gas locking the pumps.
C1 already has dual ESP installed, while C7 is to be drilled in the first campaign
on Yme.
C1 & C7 ESP:
In C1 a dual ESP system consisting of 900 HP/900 HP upper P110
centrifugal pumps is installed. These pumps will be attempted to start.
The pump curves for the two ESP pumps could be overlapping if required.
For new ESP wells on Gamma. Gaslift will be backup.
Detailed specification of ESP equipment installed see Figure 7-6 and
Table 7-3

Functional requirements of the ESP system:


ESP Downhole:
ESPs are designed to handle up to 10 % free gas at pump intake.
Therefore ESP in C2-C3-C4 will not be the best solution due to high GOR
in gas/water in these wells upon gas breakthrough.
ESPs are designed to achieve an average run life greater than three
years for dual ESP systems through the lifetime of the field.
Wells have a tangent section where ESP assemblies are located (at the
ESP setting depth), with the cased Dog Leg Severity (rate of turn DLS)
not exceeding 1 per 30 m.
The completion design consist of a 5 tubing string with a TR-SSSV
and gas lift mandrel backup on Beta.
ESP systems have a full downhole instruments package with data
transmitted to the platform and the ESP management system via the
power cable.
The ESP downhole pressure and temperature data will not be available
when gas-lifting the ESP completed well.
The current ESP vendor is Baker Hughes Centrilift. Centrilift shall provide
ESP as a full system including the management of all the internal
interfaces and supply of all the ESP equipment, test systems and
wellhead/tree interface systems, ESP downhole system, power
distribution system outboard of the tree
ESP scope shall be managed by a dedicated focus group including the
Repsol and allocated vendor/contractor staff who are involved with the
ESP system or parts of it.
More modelling is required to identify if the 900 HP and what pump is the
best for workover in C1 and ESP in C7.

7.4.1.2 Yme Gamma Gas Lift.


The C2-C3-C4 that is supported by water/gas alternating injectors C5-C6 will be
using gas lift as the artificial lift method. Gas lift will be installed either with a gas
lift retrofit solution just above the ESP packer with a M-SAS barrier on the
annulus side, or as a full recompletion with a new gas lift completion also
comprising an ASV. New gas lift completions will be completed with gas lift
mandrel and ASV.

7.4.1.3 Yme Beta Gas Lift


The Yme Beta wells are at present completed with ESPs, but subsurface work
indicates that similar oil reserves can be recovered by use of Gas Lift, rather than
use of these. Initially the Beta wells will therefore be produced through the single
Gas Lift valve in the current completion. If recompleted the ESP completion will
be removed and replaced with a more purpose built Gas Lift solution, which is
described in the Well Design Summary (reference 41).
Detailed specification of current ESP equipment installed, see Figure 7-6 and
Table 7-3

7.4.2 Detailed - Downhole ESP System as Installed


The ESP sizing is defined in the ESP Downhole Basis of design report YME-
26168-Z-0013 (ref. 7.24). The ESP selection is based on the reviewed reservoir
properties from the MWD logs during drilling of the wells. Technical specification
of all ESP equipment can be found in YME-26168-Z-0370 (ref 7.19)

The ESP downhole architecture in C1 and C7 will be evaluated to suite the
subsurface flow requirements, and designed to meet the expected ESP lifetime.

7.4.4 Subsea and Surface Equipment Requirements


Baker Hughes has performed a VSD study (on draft level) in Yme New
Development. The new recommendation is designed to be able to operate the
current installed 900 HP/ 1200 HP on Gamma. A total of 2 wells (C1 and C7)
were the basis for this study
VSD selected to be able to run the 1200 HP ESP on Gamma on full load require
an ABB ACS 2000 or similar.

Page 54 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

2 VSDs will be required to run the 2 ESP wells on Gamma. Maximum expected
power output requirements from VSD is 4800/ 173 A for the 1200 HP system,
and 4500 v/ 132 A for the 900 HP system to be able to run the ESPs at 100%
load.
The maximum total ESP system power requirement to design for is 1.4 MW for
the two ESP wells if using 900 HP ESP, and 1.6 MW if 1200 HP ESP is required.
The actual power requirement will be revised later in FEED after final ESP sizing/
selection has been performed.
ESPs shall be monitored and controlled from the platform. All the ESP data shall
be transferred to shore for real-time online monitoring of the ESP operations and
performance. This shall be done through the control system on the platform and
PI.
EMS (enhanced monitoring system) shall be a standalone control system
interfaced to the ICSS of the platform. The Enhanced Control and Monitoring
Philosophy will be developed by Repsol, and programmed by ABB/ESP supplier.
Interfacing towards the ICSS will be done by TopsidesContractor/ ESP supplier.

7.5 ESP Topside Interfaces:


Constractor/ Supplier shall be responsible for all cabling from VSD to XMT.
Repsol shall provide the cable from Junction box to wellhead, but contractor is
responsible for installation and commissioning of this cable as well as the cable
from junction box to VSD.
The supplier will be responsible for planning, engineering, mechanical complete,
and commissioning of the VSD. The ESP supplier will support on this work.
Supplier shall be responsible all hookup and commissioning PSD, ESD, and
communication bus to the Control system, as will be defined in the Functional
Design Specification for the EMS.

7.6 Well Clean-up


The wells have yet not been cleaned up or tested. The base case has been to
clean up the production wells into the test separator immediately prior to each
wells production start-up by natural flow, gas lift or ESP.
The C1 and C7 wells will be cleaned up with ESPs or natural flow, while C2, C3
and C4 will be cleaned up with gaslift or natural flow.
Beta wells will be cleaned up using gaslift.
The OBM/suspension fluid left downhole were compatible with the original
planned process equipment in the base case.
Cleaning up to the process test separator will permit the wells to be evaluated in
terms of deliverability and an assessment made of any reservoir damage.
A well start-up/clean up strategy and following programme will be developed.

7.7 Surface Intervention


The intervention philosophy is based on a Jack-Up rig.

All intervention work and workovers will be conducted from drill floor.

For a floating concept, intervention will be based on a hired in jack-up rig


installing over a WHP.

Page 55 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

7.7.1 Workover requirements


The Functional Requirements for the facilities define the deck space/loads, POB
requirements and crane capacity required to carry out interventions and
workovers.
Loads from well interventions as coiled tubing will be transferred onto rig
floor on the jack-up by use of a coiled tubing tension frame.
Two cranes must have a lift capacity of 40Te each for sea and platform
lifts to be able to lift a standard 2 3/8 coil reel of 3700m length.
During workover operations the loads will be transferred through the
derrick and into the jack-up.

7.8 Subsea Intervention


7.8.1 Base Case
The base case for subsea wells from the 3-slot template on the Beta structure is
to minimise the need for interventions in the first place, largely by choosing gas
lift as lifting mechanism for Beta. Secondly it is to make use of dedicated vessels
wherever possible. The following assumptions are made for the Base Case;
A rig will be required for changing out tubing,
Coiled Tubing work will require a rig or potentially a dedicated vessel,
For Wireline work a dedicated vessel can be used,
Pumping operations such as scale squeezes and acidizing will be done
through the service line from the host platform.

7.8.2 Reasoning for Base Case


For Tubing change out, a rig is required because of limited availability of
intervention vessels with Norwegian Aoc (Acknowledgment of
Compliance)
For both Coiled Tubing and wireline work a few vessels are certified for
this type of operations on the NCS.

8 Production Technology

8.1 Introduction
The completion strategy was to build a robust and reliable completion.
Completions cater for monitoring capabilities of installed equipment, reservoir
and well performance. The important drivers with respect to the completion
functionality were;
Sand face completion architecture,
Inflow control and management,
Artificial lift requirements,
Production optimisation and reservoir monitoring requirements,
Flow assurance requirements: Down hole scale inhibitor injection
requirements including the ability to perform frequent scale inhibition
treatments to prevent scaling in the reservoir and wellbore,
Lifecycle management requirements: Interventions, reservoir
management and formation damage management.
For future sidetracks and infill wells, the same principles will be applied, although
the design will reflect technology development.

8.2 Historic Context


The original Yme development (Statoil) experienced several technical difficulties
due to the properties of produced fluids and performance of the reservoir. The
previous development concept also set some boundaries that were challenging
to operate within.
A large part of the Production Technology work, to date, has been to review the
experience gained and documented by Statoil. The main areas of concern
highlighted by Statoil were;
Artificial lift
o Gas lifted wells - lack of gas, limited lifting capabilities (above 60
% WC)
o ESP lifted wells - short run life
Production chemistry
o Scale, CaCO3 scale precipitation, formation damage
o Emulsion, excessive OIW content
o Salt content - corrosive environment, sales specification penalties
Well testing and surveillance
o Sampling limited
o Rate data from individual wells limited
o Slugging problems from Beta subsea wells
High workover frequency and cost
o ESP failures
o Well integrity due to tubing leaks
o Material selection due to corrosive environment.
A range of different well and completion types were tested by Statoil during the
previous development. The most successful well type was the long horizontal
open hole completion with ESP lift.
The lessons learned were implemented in five sidetracks and nine new ESPs
deployed to improve oil recovery in the final two years of production.

The previous YME experience and learnings were reviewed and incorporated
into the well and completion design.
Further experience from Statoil can be found in references 6, 7, 24, 25 and 26.

8.3 Sandface Completion and Inflow


8.3.1 Basis of Design
Details of completions are given in chapter 7.

8.3.1.1 Sand Failure


No active sand control is considered for the wells. Previous rock mechanics tests
have predicted a negligible risk of sand production through the life of the well.

8.3.1.2 Solids Production


Some fines should be accounted for. Initially, solids will be produced during
clean-up of the well.
The table below shows gravimetric analysis of solids found in the original Yme
development produced water and seawater cooling system. More details on this
can be found in reference 3.

8.3.1.3 Inflow control and rock face completion architecture


Well productivity achieved during initial drilling phase and the production phase
will have a significant impact on the levels of the fluids off take. As such, skin
minimisation and the scale management system shall be focus areas during field
development planning.
The choice of open hole reservoir completions is based on Yme historical
production data proving that this solution yielded the best results. Producer 9/2-
A-8 and one track on 9/2-A-2 had open hole completions. These wells had no
indication of sand production and were very productive. Sand production is not
expected on Yme; however some fines should be accounted for (see previous
chapter). Initially, solids and debris will be produced during clean-up of the well.
Reservoir engineering work confirms that long horizontal wells give the best
recovery. Moreover open hole completions reduce the well construction risks and
costs.
On the Gamma Water Injectors a liner and selective perforation is required to
control the injectivity of the planned water flood sweep pattern and seal off the
middle part of the well, which has potentially reactive and unstable shales.

8.4 Measurement, Monitoring and Sampling


8.4.1 Summary
Monitoring and surveillance of the Yme reservoir and individual well performance,
(well testing, down hole equipment monitoring/control), and live data to shore will
play an important role in re-developing the Yme field for optimisation of reservoir
performance and prolonged ESP run life with improved uptime for the wells.
Key issues are:
ESP monitoring (Pressure and Temperature) and control to shore,
Flow assurance; Scale and asphaltene control
Well integrity; Corrosion control
Well testing and reservoir monitoring,
Subsea well testing.
Data link to provide real time data onshore
The table below summarise the main components, which may be adjusted to suit
existing facilities subject to company agreement;

8.4.2 Well sampling


Well sampling of produced water will be taken every week initially to determine
water chemistry and scale potential. Based on operational experience with the
wells, this frequency will be adjusted. Also, the water samples will be used to
evaluate scale inhibitor squeeze performance.
Hydrocarbon samples of the wells will be taken initially to establish PVT
properties and how the wells compare with the overall PVT properties for the
field.

8.4.3 Sand monitoring


The formation strength of the sand on Yme is high, with no significant sand
production when Statoil produced the Yme field (see chapter 8.3.1.2). The
predrilled wells on Yme are part open completions and pre-slotted liners. Sand
detection equipment should be installed upstream the inlet and test separators on
Yme in order to detect if there is any sand production and to identify the source
as early as possible.

8.4.3.1 ESP Monitoring


The downhole monitoring equipment shall be installed to control the operation of
the pump, recording historical data for optimization of reservoir management and
continuous process improvement in the operation and further design of artificial
lift and completion systems.
ESPs include monitoring system connected to the bottom of the motor. This
system include pressure/temperature discharge assembly above the pump
discharge, with main data acquisition unit located below the lower tandem motor
and connected to the power system via star point of the lower tandem motor
section stator winding.
The installed system does allow monitoring of the following downhole
parameters:
Pump Intake Pressure,
Pump Intake Temperature,
Pump Discharge Pressure,
Pump Speed,
Pump Discharge Temperature,
Motor Winding Temperature,
ESP Vibration, both x & y,
Current Leakage,
Downhole Electronics Temperature.
The data transmission is via the power cable to eliminate the need for an
additional penetration through the tubing hanger and the tree.
Online monitoring and management of ESPs from the shore shall be facilitated
through data link.
Note: ESP wells were gas lift has been used as the artificial lift method. The
Downhole ESP monitoring will not be available.

8.4.4 Well testing and allocation


Monthly testing of each well through the test separator is the basis for the well
allocation.
The subsea wells will be tested together if possible or individually if the total fluid
exceeds the test separator capacity, in which case production loss will occur.
Test frequency of subsea wells may therefore exceed one month and will be
done on an as need basis. Post and pre testing of the wells will be done in
conjunction with scale squeezes

Rev.: 01

8.4.5 Integrity and barrier testing.


The integrity and the barriers of the wells will be tested according to the
applicable NORSOK standard D-010 Section 15, that deals with testing of all the
barriers in the well in the drilling phase and production phase.
The A-annulus on all wells will be constantly monitored, and where practical the
B annulus will have the capability of continuous monitoring.

8.4.6 Downhole monitoring and well intervention


The wells are set either with pre-slotted liner/ swellpackers/ open completions(C-
2 and C-4), open hole completions(C-3) and pre-slotted liner with swellpacker to
TD(C-1). The swellpacker were set across coal layers to prevent coal bits to enter
the wellstream, which could damage the ESPs. Table 1 below presents a
summary of the lower completion for the four wells. With the present completions
it is not possible to do flowing surveys with wireline tools in the hole while running
the ESPs. It is possible with another design of the flowtube/ bypass to perform
such a survey when the wells are recompleted, but the risk is considered to be
high. Therefore PLTs will not be considered as an option for wells requiring
ESPs to flow. Saturation tools that will be run during shut-in conditions are an
option, and will be considered on a well by well basis. For the wells with
swellpackers there should be a good potential that the swellpackers acts as no
flow barriers behind the liner, provided that the coal layers prevents flow. This
could present a potential for setting zone isolation plugs. There are well tractors
available that can pass the minimum restriction of 2.532 ID in the tailpipe.
Potential reward/risks has to be considered for using surveillance tools run on
wireline after the field is set on production.

9.3 Design Life


The existing subsea facilities have a 15 years design life + 5 years design
storage time (storage time is time from being pre-commissioned to start-up).
The existing equipment was installed in 2008/2009.
Since the pipelines and spools were left with a preservation fluid comprising
oxygen scavenger and biocides, which in 2012 was analysed by DNV with the
conclusion that it still meet the preservation requirement/capacity with only minor
deterioration (<10%), internal corrosion is considered being negligible. It is further
considered that eventual oxygen left in the seawater inside the pipeline after
installation that might cause corrosion, now has ceased.
The subsea facilities, like the pipelines and umbilicals are managed in
accordance with Repsol Integrity Management System. Inspection are performed
without disturbing the preservation fluid and thus avoiding infiltration of new
oxygen. By avoiding internal corrosion and the fact that the systems are duly
protected against corrosion to the outer surface by coating or cathodic protection,
it is foreseen that any disturbances to its designed life-time will be negligible and
about equal to its original design life (15 years) from the production start-up.
After start-up of the production, the system will be regularly checked against
corrosion, damage and failure by external and internal inspections, which will be
a good foundation for the evaluation of an extended lifetime, should this be
required later in the production life.

9.5 Subsea Infrastructure Overview


The references in section 9.1 give further details.
The Yme New Development consist of a production facility with surface wells at
Gamma location, and a single Beta subsea step out tied back to the risers at the
Yme Production Facility. The Beta location is equipped with two production wells
and one water injection well. A 10 production pipeline and a 6 water injection
line ties the two locations together.
A 4 service line is installed and will be used for annular communication and as a
service conduit to the wells via a dedicated header. The main purpose of this line
will now be to provide gas lift gas for artificial lift.
Chemical injection will be routed to the trees using lines within the umbilical.
The produced fluid to, and the water injection from, the Production Facility are
transported using rigid risers routed through J tubes. Dynamic umbilical and
power line are similarly routed.
Offshore tanker loading will be performed using a Submerged Loading System
(SLS) and an oil export riser and pipeline is installed to route product to the
offshore tanker interface.

9.7.4 Drilling Interfaces and Workover Facilities


See reference 9.1.
With the current concept, the Jack Up drilling rig and production unit is integrated.
The rig must be able to reach all well slots on Gamma without having to be re-
positioned on seabed.
Simultaneous drilling and production from the same drill centre is required. The
drilling rig will be in control of the well it is working on, and the facility will be in
control of all other wells.
All automated safety functions shall be integrated for the entire installation

For a floating concept, the WHP shall be designed to allow access to all wells
from a standard North Sea Jack-Up rig.

Subsea wells are installed on Beta. Production and injection rates are presented
in Appendix 1.
The workover system will be sized for depth, usage, pressure regime and testing
duties. The system and tooling allow for the running of all tree tooling and
equipment and facilitate the control of the tree system from the drillers cabin. All
units shall comply with temporary unit recommendations of NOROG and possess
the ability to meet emergency shutdown needs of a rig.

9.9 Subsea Structures


The subsea templates, manifolds and riser porches are presented within this
section.
For details, please refer to references 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.

9.9.1 Subsea Template Beta


The subsea template is the supporting structure and guide for the well
conductors and the interface to the manifold flow paths and monitoring points:
A multi well slot modularised subsea template with an over-trawlable
protection structure to protect the structure and its internals from the
detrimental effects of fishing gear impact and dropped objects,
The template is the foundation for the PGBs or other such units, manifold
system, controls elements and remote connection hubs and accessories,
The structure layout is suitable for operations from the jack-up rig Mrsk
Giant and from a typical semi-submersible rig.

9.9.2 Subsea Template Beta North


Final layout of Beta North is not decided, but the most likely solution is a new two
slot template located in the vicinity of existing Beta template and tied into this
manifold. Further info can be found in ref. 54.

9.9.3 Subsea Production Manifold


The production manifold has the following properties;
The manifold can be installed / retrieved without removing the Xmas
trees.
The manifold headers are equipped with ROV operated valves.
The manifold is designed for the distribution of control fluids and
chemicals with necessary ROV operated isolation valves towards each
production slot.
The manifold has headers for each service. ROV operated valves shall be
provided between the header and the wells.
Double barrier philosophy is incorporated for start-up or repair operations.
It shall be possible to route from the trees to the production or the
injection header.
The production manifold has spare tie-in points for future connection of
Beta North
Connections for connecting temporary Pig receivers/ launcher
For further information see references 9.19, 9.20, 9.21 and 9.22.

9.10 Flowlines, Risers, Flowline Jumpers and Umbilicals


9.10.1 General
The flowlines, risers, flowline jumpers (from tree to subsea manifold) and
umbilical shall transfer and control the production from Yme accumulations to the
processing and export facility at the Production Facility.
For details, please refer to references 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.

9.10.1.1 Production Flowlines and Risers


The produced fluids from the Beta manifold will be transported via a single 10
production flowline to a riser balcony local to the storage tank and further routed
from the riser balcony along the tank through the caisson and onto the
Production Facility

Page 72 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

9.10.1.2 Water Injection Flowlines and Risers


Injection water will be transported from the Production Facility via a single 8
water injection riser down the caisson on the storage tank and further routed to
the riser balcony. From there water is routed through the manifold on the riser
balcony through a 6 pipeline to the Beta accumulation.

9.10.1.3 Service Line


A stand alone 4 line is installed and routed through the caisson to the riser
balcony. From there the service line is routed through the manifold on the riser
balcony through a 4 line to the Beta manifold. This to permit:
gas lift
scale squeeze
production line depressurisation
potential pig driving fluid transmission
In the Yme New Development, the primary function will be gas lift.

9.10.1.4 Umbilical
The umbilical provide hydraulic fluid for valve operation, chemicals, as well as low
voltage power and instrument connections for the subsea template.
The chemicals distributed in the umbilical are:
Scale Inhibitor (Downhole)
Asphaltene Inhibitor (Into Gas lift gas)
Methanol (to x-mas tree)
Corrosion Inhibitor (Manifold Injection)
Wax Inhibitor (Manifold injection

9.10.2 Beta North Flowlines


With a new template located in the vicinity of existing template and manifold, the
flowlines used for tie-in are likely to be relatively short flexible lines and control
umbilical.
Protection by means of rock-dumping, trenching and spool covers / tie-in loop
covers will be required.

9.10.3 Flow Assurance


Production profiles to be utilised for analysis of the production flowlines and risers
are presented in Appendix 1. A Flow Assurance Assessment and Plan (reference
35) has been developed.
For work related to the existing pipeline, the following U-values apply (relative to
OD):
10 Production Pipeline & Spools : 2.91 W/m2K
10 Production Spools, Bends : 2.99 W/m2K

9.10.4 Erosion
The Yme New Development will keep flow/ drawdown within the envelope of
existing erosion calculations for subsea equipment (manifolds, chokes, and
bends), jumpers, flowlines and risers.

9.10.5 Power System


The dual electrical submersible pumps (ESPs) are provided with power from a
distribution system connected to the Production Facility using a dynamic section
to the riser base and a static length from the base to the manifold locations. The
ESPs are not planned to be used for lift on Beta, hence power umbilical installed
is available for other services if required.

Rev.: 01

9.11 Risers
Risers are installed for the services that are identified as Beta dedicated in
addition to an oil export riser to route product to the oil export pipeline and SLS.
In addition, umbilical risers are installed for the Beta controls & chemicals
umbilical and Beta ESP power umbilical.
Additional provisions for a future subsea tieback have been installed in the
caisson on the Gamma location. Additional tie-in points are available on the riser
balcony on the storage tank as well as on the Beta Production Manifold.

9.12 Subsea Production Control and Monitoring System


The subsea control system shall interface with the process control system
located on the Production Facility using acceptable protocols and hardwired to
facilitate Yme ESD requirement.
The following equipment will need be located on either the MODPU or the WHM
Subsea Control Unit,
Master Control station,
Electrical Power unit,
Test panels and modems,
Hydraulic power, to be supplied from a dedicated HPU,
Umbilical termination and hang-off heads,
Junction boxes.
The interfacing of systems is the responsibility of the contractor for the new
topsides. Herein lay the responsibility for mechanical, electrical and instrument
interfaces, as well as ensuring that all topsides equipment required to operate the
subsea systems is available, or procured.
For further information, see chapter 9.1 references 9.1, 9.23, 9.24, 9.25, 9.26,
9.27, 9.28 and 9.30.

9.12.1 Production Monitoring


For reservoir management purposes, production data must be acquired and
transmitted in such a way that measured total produced volumes of oil and water
can be allocated to individual wells, average reservoir pressure can be calculated
and sand production monitored.

9.13 Subsea Metering


No multiphase or other meters are installed subsea. Production will not be
directly metered, but component rates and allocation will be deduced from other
ESP pump instrumentation where available.

9.14 Leak Detection from Subsea Facilities


See chapter 9.1 reference 9.9.
There is currently no leak detection system installed neither on the existing Beta
Facilities nor on the Submerged Loading System.

9.15 Sand Detection from Subsea Facilities


There are no sand detectors installed on the subsea facilities. Sand detection
equipment shall be installed upstream the inlet and test separators (ref 8.4.3).

9.16 Preservation Status of Existing Facilities


Proper preservation of existing facilities is of crucial importance with regards to
minimising potential degradation effects in the period from installation in 2008
until the facilities are becoming operational. References 9.10, 9.11 and 9.12 must
be paid due regard in this aspect and preservation issues must be carefully
evaluated regularly.
Ref 9.12 concludes on preservation throughout 2012 only and an update of the
report is required in due course.

The topsides facility need to supply the offloading hose with up to 10 m3 of fresh
water after offloading to avoid collapse due to vacuum/ cooling (reference 34).
Testing has identified need for modifications to installed SLS system to meet
offloading requirements.

10.3.2 Alternative offloading


Existing SLS require extensive modification. Provision of alternative offloading is
desired, and an alternative design shall be offered as an option. Alterative
offloading shall as far as possible meet the fluid delivery rate to tanker as given in
Table 10-3.

10.4 Topsides and Wellhead Module

An offshore production topsides facility is proposed featuring:
Production reception / inlet facilities
Production separation train and crude oil stabilisation
Gas compression to meet lift gas, gas re-injection and fuel gas
requirements
Gas conditioning
Produced water treatment and injection/ disposal
Power distribution and integration with existing power generation if
relevant

unless other facilities are available

Production Facility capacity requirements are presented in Table 10-4.

Electric submersible pumps have been chosen as the preferred artificial lift
mechanism for Gamma East wells, with gas lift as the lift mechanism for the
Gamma West and Beta subsea wells. Compressed gas molecular weight
variations for different operating cases shall be considered in the compressor
design.
Existing Beta subsea production well design incorporate both ESPs and gas lift
valves, but new subsea wells and recompletion will be gas lift completion only.
The service line will be utilised for gas lift supply.

Produced fluids from the Gamma platform wells and Beta subsea production
flowline will be received at the topsides processing facilities. Inlet production

Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

separators operating pressures are anticipated to be around 10 barg. Gamma


fluids are anticipated to arrive topsides at temperatures in the range 75 to 100C
over field life. Following gas breakthrough, some Gamma West wells may be
choked back, resulting in slugging and intermittent lower temperatures on gas.
Beta production fluids are anticipated to arrive at 40 to 65C over field life for two
well production, but below wax appearance temperature (42C) during gas lift
operation of one well. Slugging will give fluctuating inlet temperatures with the
lowest temperatures seen at unisulated riser base.
Two inlet production separators are proposed, a HP Stage Separator and a Test
Separator sized for the maximum of either a single Gamma well or full Beta
production. To achieve maximum rates, both separators can be operated in
parallel. It is required that an inlet heater be provided on the Beta flowline to heat
fluid to further facilitate Beta fluids separation (to around 80C to avoid
emulsions; reference 26 and 24). Space, weight and tie-in allowance should
allow for a similar future inlet arrangement for similar subsea tieback.
Emulsion problems were experienced during the original Yme development. Low
Beta fluid arrival temperatures and high shear rates in Gamma fluids would have
contributed to these problems. Gamma East production wells will experience high
fluid shear through the ESPs. The poor separation in the original development
resulted in Yme crude being sold at a considerable value discount, on account of
the high water content and salinity. The Yme New Development design shall
incorporate adequate crude oil separation facilities to ensure high crude sales
value.
Interstage heat is included to ensure stabilised crude specifications (TVP/ RVP)
can be met. Oil from the 1st stage separator should be diluted with fresh water to
ensure salt specification is met.
To avoid separation upsets, dirty streams (closed drain, PW reject streams, etc.)
should not be recycled to separators if this can be avoided.
The oil must be cooled to below 60C and metered prior to flowing to storage.
Export crude quality specification is presented in the following table.

Criteria Units Specification


Base, Sediment and Water vol% < 0.5 Note 2
(BS&W)
Reid Vapour Pressure (RVP) Bara <= 0.56
Salt Content mg/l < 100Note 1

CO2 Content mole% < 0.1
Notes 1. If achieving the target of 100 mg/l proves challenging, meeting 200 mg/l
may be acceptable subject to company approval. (Reference 18)
2. Salt content of Yme produced water is 121,000 mg/l Chloride. The
necessary BS&W to meet the salt specification (200 mg/l) is 0.15% by
volume. If fresh water dilution to remove salt is used, a BS&W of 0.5
vol% is acceptable.
3. The salt content of the product oil is measured to ASTM D3230, which
measures chloride (salts) concentration in crude oil. The range of
concentration covered by ASTM D3230 is 0 to 500 mg/kg (or 0 to 150
lb/1000 bbl) as chloride concentration/ volume of crude oil.

Previous slug analysis suggested 11 m slug volume is sufficient in the inlet


separators design (reference 15). Slug volume has been verified in previous
phases, but care should be taken to verify maximum separator/ downstream
system drain rates and control system response (reference 40).
Significant sand production is not expected, but for design of new equipment, the
following parameters shall be used:
25 mg Sand/ Solids production per litre of produced water
Average particle size of 20 m
Production separator design shall incorporate nozzles and space allocation for
future sand sparging and removal facilities, should these prove necessary.

10.4.5 Gas Compression and Treatment


The GOR of the oil produced is ranging from 61.3 (Gamma) to 54.4 (Beta) Sm/
Sm (Reference 24). Beta North West has a GOR of about 63 Sm/ Sm.
There will be no gas import / export. Produced gas will be used for fuel gas,
compressed and re-injected, or used for lift gas to the Beta subsea production
wells.
Gas from the inlet separators, operating at around 10 barg, flows to the
compressors. Drying of the gas is required to protect 4 beta service line and well
annuli from corrosion. The following boundary conditions should be noted:

discharges to the suction of the main compressors.

10.4.6 Produced Water Treatment


The bulk of the produced water will be separated from the oil in the inlet
separators. The produced water treatment facilities shall be designed to achieve
sufficient quality to allow dumping to sea.
Target oil in produced water concentration is presented in Table 10-13.
Criteria Units Specification

The produced water facilities should be designed with connections to allow


flushing with acid to remove scale.

10.4.7 Water Injection


Reservoir pressure (for segments where there are injection wells) will be
maintained through produced water re-injection. Allowance for future Seawater
treatment facilities are required in event of aquifer performance not as predicted,

or to provide flexibility for future tie-ins. Seawater injection water specification is


defined in Table 10-14:
Criteria Units Specification
Filtration Requirements Pump protection
Oxygen Content ppb < 10Note 1
Note 1. Requirement is set based on design of existing subsea equipment and wells.

Table 10-14 Seawater Injection Specification

There is a risk of barium sulphate scaling when injecting a mixture of sea water
and produced water. As far as possible only produced water shall be injected in
Beta wells. For Gamma wells, produced water shall be favoured to minimize
emissions to sea. Produced water and seawater shall not be mixed topsides prior
to injection. Allowance for future Seawater injection routing and manifolds shall
be made in accordance with the above restrictions.
Significant sand production is not expected, and was not experienced when Yme
was produced previously. Filtration for Produced Water is not required other than
for injection pump protection.
The maximum produced water injection temperature is 60C, limited by the 8
riser/ 6" water injection line from Gamma to Beta. The produced water discharge
to sea do not have a specific temperature restriction, but temperature effect on
environmental impact (including risk of exposure to HC gases; benzene, VOC) of
PW discharge to sea shall be assessed.

10.4.8 Power Requirements and Fuel Supply


Electrical power will be used to drive process, drilling (if available), marine and
accommodation equipment.
The Production Facility must also provide electrical power to the ESPs. The
power generation system need sufficient robustness to supply two (Gamma East
wells) ESPs simultaneously.
Expected power requirement is in the order of 15 20 MW, pending on process.
The WHRUs may supply process heating requirements through a heating
medium system. Heat requirement is expected to be in the order of 10 14 MW,
pending on process.

10.4.9 Chemical Injection


Chemical injection requirements are presented in section 6.12. Chemical
injection storage facilities should as far as possible be based on existing facilities,
but sizing shall be considered on the following criteria:
Chemicals for continuous use a minimum storage capacity for 10 days
at maximum injection rate,
Batch chemical use storage capacity to be determined based on
frequency of batch operation and assuming a 10 day supply boat period.
Final capacities will be agreed between contractor and company.
A subsea chemical distribution system is provided to distribute chemicals to
individual wells (see section9.10.1.4).
Monitoring of the flow down each chemical line shall be provided.

10.4.9.1 Scale Inhibitor Squeeze of Production Wells


The production system shall be configured to enable scale squeeze operations to
be carried out intermittently. Scale squeezes will commence once wells start
cutting water and may be required up to two times per year per well. Facilities
are required to dose individual wells. Typically a scale squeeze operation
involves a 24 m (150 bbl) preflush, 207 m (1300 bbl) treatment and 556 m
(3500) bbl flush with dosed water at flowrates of approximately 90 m/h (13 600
bpd).
Scale squeezes will be facilitated through the use of drilling equipment. For
platform wells, access will be through the x-mas tree (kill wing).
For Beta wells, a suitable tie-in point must be facilitated at a service line manifold
on the caisson. When squeezing beta wells, gas lift supply to all Beta wells will
be impaired.

10.4.9.2 Acid Washes


New equipment in the production system shall be configured with sufficient
nozzles and valves to enable inhibited acid washes (organic, inorganic or
chelant) to be carried out intermittently. For existing equipment adding extra
nozzles should be considered.

10.4.10 Measurement
The crude oil and gas shall be measured to a standard acceptable to the
Norwegian authorities. The following NORSOK standards can be used as guide
for measurement and manual sampling facilities for the produced oil, fuel gas and
flare gas metering:
I-106, Fiscal metering systems for hydrocarbon liquid and gas
NPD Regulations
It is desired to measure many streams on the installation. The practicality of
introducing this shall be discussed and agreed during FEED.

10.4.10.1 Allocation
The operator will perform allocation and reconcile fluid volumes from individual
wells (producers and injectors) on a monthly basis from daily figures. Daily
figures are either directly monitored and transferred or calculated from 15-minute
intervals. As a backup calculation based on well performance (P, T) is required.
An online system to collect, calculate, present, transfer data to the operator that
will perform the final reporting and reconcile production figures is required.
Typical values are:
Valve status,
Pressure/ Temperature measurements from wells and process,
Rates and consumptions.

10.4.10.2 Fiscal Metering


The oil export metering system shall be designed for the maximum continuous
offloading rate. The oil export metering system shall be used for custody transfer
purposes only.
Meters on the oil export system shall use high reliability low maintenance
flowmeters of proven technology.
A redundant, spare meter shall be included in the metering system to allow
removal of the master flowmeter for annual calibration. Proving shall be
conducted in accordance with NPD regulations.
Metering to Fiscal standard is also required on streams that contribute to CO2
and NOX tax, typically Fuel Gas and Flare rates.

10.4.11 Sampling Facilities


Sample facilities are required for product streams, wellstreams, produced water,
and other environmental purposes. The need for sampling should be identified
early. Sampling requirements may be set by regulations, standards, NEA, or by
Company. Where regular sampling is required, permanent facilities shall be
provided.

10.4.12 Subsea Storage Tank and Caisson Interfaces


The existing subsea storage tank will be used for Crude Oil Storage as intended,
unless the proposed facility has equal or better storage facilities. If existing tank
is utilised, the new topsides facility shall provide adequate facilities for supporting
this functionality.
This functionality includes the following functions, (complete list to be developed
in FEED):
Crude Oil Storage
o Crude oil to caisson
o Power and functionality for 2 x offloading pumps
o N2 purge to pump caissons
o Heating for maintaining offloading/ storage temperature > 42C
o Support/ integration of level instrumentation into SAS
o Vent to safe area
Ballast Water
o Continuous skimming function for ballast water nose tanks
o Power and functionality of 2 x skimming pumps
o N2 purge to pump caissons
o Monitoring of ballast water quality (OIW)
o Alarm to CCR at high OIW levels
o Hot Seawater return to caisson

SLS
o Oil Export Line
o Freshwater makeup

The existing SLS will require major modifications. An alternative offloading option
shall be proposed as an option.

10.4.13 HVAC Design Temperatures


The company propose that the extreme temperatures are not used for HVAC
design, but rather a slightly less conservative basis to avoid significant
overdesign.
Typical North Sea air temperature data for HVAC design:
Min: -6C / 90% Relative Humidity
Max: 22C / 75% Relative Humidity
For seawater, the following design values shall be used:
Min: 5C
Max: y(C) = 14 0.1 * x (m depth) (Ref: Figure 11-1)
When designing HVAC components, any temperature rise across SW pumps and
system shall be accounted for.

10.4.14 Allowance for Future tie-ins and options


The caisson is designed for tie-in of a second subsea tie-back. In this respect,
the following allowances shall be made:
Routing for an additional 10 production line from caisson Tie-in and to
process plant

Page 88 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

Allowance for Future Inlet Heater for production line (Section 10.4.4)
Allowance for future tie-in of support to such a development (Tie in to
Service Line/ Umbilical on WHM)

Seawater injection will not be installed, but design shall ensure this is available
for future installation by
Space allowance for main equipment (deaerator, vacuum package, pipe
routings etc.)
Ensure implementation of system can be performed in line with
requirements set in this BoD (10.4.7).

Future weight allowance of 500 tonne has been specified in section 10.4.

10.5 Design Life


The Facility and equipment installed shall be designed for a 15 year design life.
The facility shall be capable of meeting all statutory/ regulatory requirements for
remaining in the field for the design life, taking normal maintenance and repair
into consideration. If cost to achieve the design life requires work that incur
excessive cost, this can be reduced subject to agreement with company.
The terms used are defined in section 14.1.

10.6 Environmental Targets


The following environmental design parameters have been chosen. Reasonable
endeavours shall be used to further improve environmental performance, and
these efforts and their consequences presented.
Source Design

Flaring To be minimised.

Produced Water Discharge < 10 mg/l oil in water


Minimise discharge by PWRI

Chemical Discharge Compliance to 0 discharge

Notes 1. VOC recovery for tanker.

Table 10-15 Environmental Design Parameters

10.7 Operational Availability


The design of the facilities should seek to achieve as high availability as possible,
without excessive cost. The term Production availability is defined in section 14.2.
The criteria have been set based on discussions with typical vendor. The
availability will be assessed in FEED, and reasonable endeavours will be taken to
improve upon this figure.

11 Metocean Data
DNVGL has prepared a document which includes a comprehensive set of
metocean criteria and premises which can be used for the design and
reassessment of offshore structures, subsea installations and marine operations.
The above mentioned DNVGL document does not include updated data for
current and temperature. Therefore current temperature data shall be taken from
Fugro Oceanor report Updated Metocean Criteria for the Yme Platform
(reference 42).
Data for marine growth, seismic actions, snow and ice shall be taken form
NORSOK N-003.

11.1 Temperature data


11.1.1 Air Temperature (C)
The following temperature data has been abstracted from reference 42.

Table 11-1 Monthly and annual minimum, average, maximum temperature

Table 12-1 Four-layer deposit at the YME Gamma location (recommended


in NGI, 2007)

Reference 5 presents Soils parameters for design and Geotechnical data for
block 9/2, derived in 2007.
Further information and data can be found in references 47 and 48.

12.1 Bathymetric data


The water depth at Yme varies around 75 to 100 metres (MSL).
The water depth and further data is given in the metocean report (reference 4
and 44).
Locations of the drill centres are given in table Table 9-2, with the exception of
Beta North, as this is yet to be determined.

12.2 Yme Beta development site


For geotechnical data for the gamma to beta pipeline route, see reference 19
Exact Beta North location not yet identified, and need for additional survey for
flowline/ template will be assessed later.

12.3 Flowline/ umbilical route


For geotechnical data, see reference 19.
Seabed sediments along the route are slightly shelly, slightly silty sand with some
boulders and trench infill crossing the route.

12.4 Production facility site


There is only limited information for part of the area, see reference 19. Previously
drilling jack up rigs has been placed in the area and there may be spud can
depressions in the sea bed.

12.5 Subsidence
Subsidence is not expected at Yme. The Yme reservoirs consist of strongly
consolidated sandstone that should not collapse. None of the original Yme wells
collapsed after five years of production, even if the reservoirs were depleted by
approximately 200 bars at the end of the first production period in 2001.

13 Yme Storage Tank and Caisson


The Yme New Development project is based on keeping the existing storage
tank and caisson to keep the value of the existing Gamma Wells. Below follow
references to the installed system, as well as requirements directly related to this.
Facility requirements are set out in section 10.2.

13.1 Existing caisson structure


A 5.25 m diameter steel caisson cantilevers up from the subsea tank and
supports a 10m square cellar deck at 118.9 m above tank base. For drawings
see reference 20 and 21

13.1.1 Caisson support system and document references


The caisson is supported by the storage tank by a grouted connection at the
lower end and by a bracing system connected to the support columns on top of
the storage tank. The structural analysis and design of the caisson and storage
tank was originally done by SBM as documented in the following structural
design reports:

Table 13-1 Storage Tank and Caisson reference documents

13.1.2 Caisson Structure verification


Company has together with our Structural Integrity Contractor performed
structural reanalysis to verify the fatigue life of critical parts of the caisson and the
caisson supports based on the fatigue damage accumulated from actual loading
conditions induced from all relevant historic design conditions.
The structural fatigue assessments performed by the Structural Integrity
Contractor has identified hot spot areas which has been concluded with lower
fatigue life than the required design. These areas have been subjected to
detailed NDT inspections, fracture mechanics and probability assessment in
order to demonstrate a sufficient safety level. The on-going comprehensive

Page 95 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

structural integrity regime will be maintained for the remaining service life
including the removal phase.

13.1.3 Caisson Support Requirements


In order to be able to support the new WHM onto the existing caisson and
demonstrate that the structural integrity for the existing caisson and caisson
brace can be obtained for the remaining service life at the Yme field, then it is
required to install a new Caisson Permanent Support (CPS). (Ref 52)

13.1.4 Cathodic protection system


The cathodic protection system for the Caisson and Storage tank was designed
for a service life of 15 years. The Caisson and Storage Tank has been on the
YME field since autumn 2008 with both internal and external seawater exposure.
The cathodic protection system will therefore have to be reassessed to ensure
the required extended service life.
To satisfy the requirement of an extended service life of the caisson and storage
tank the cathodic protection system shall if necessary be upgraded to meet the
design life defined in chapter 10.4.14.

13.1.5 Structural Foundation for new Wellhead Module


In order to be able to support the new WHM onto the existing caisson, the
caisson topside will need to be prepared by removing existing structures and
equipment. In addition, necessary structural foundation for the WHM will need to
be installed. (Ref 53).

14 Definitions

14.1 Lifetime
For the Yme Project, the definition of Lifetime adopted is the same as defined in
NORSOK Y-002. The following terms will be used:
Design Life
Integrity Life
Service Life

14.1.1 Design Life


Specified period for which the integrity of the system is documented in the
original design with anticipated maintenance, but without requiring substantial
repair.

14.1.2 Integrity Life


Period during which the system or component may be operated without infringing
the integrity acceptance level
The integrity life is longer than the design life, and in most cases the integrity life
cannot be documented. The integrity life is the upper theoretical limit for the
design life.
Conservatism in design and material data is the background for much of the
difference between integrity life and design life. In the design process the focus is
on documenting an acceptable integrity level for the specified design life. The
design process is often conservative when choosing parameters for calculations
and qualifications.

14.1.3 Service Life


Time length the system is intended to operate.
The service life is a part of the application toward authorities.
EXAMPLE:
The design life of a system is 25 years. However, the system was intended to
operate 15 years (limited by the reservoir predictions), and the operator applied
for a 15 years permission. Later the operator wants to extend the service life with
5 years, for a total of 20 years. In this case the design supports the application for
service life extension with respect to design life.

14.2 Production Availability


The definitions used herein are based on definitions and descriptions in ISO
20815:2010.

Page 97 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

Figure 14-1 Illustration of availability relationships and terminology used.

14.2.1 Availability
Ability of an item to be in a state to perform a required function under given
conditions at a given instant of time, or in average over a given time interval,
assuming that the required external resources are provided.
Overall availability for an installation can be expressed as
Aoverall = Awells * Aproduction * Aexport * Aturnaround
The different components are treated differently, and are described in the
chapters below.

14.2.2 Wells Availability


The availability of wells is the time the well is available to produce to its full
reservoir potential.
Failure of ESP pump, tree-valves, gas lift valves, DHSV testing etc. will impact
the individual well availability.
In subsurface modelling, values for availability used is 94% for ESP operated
wells, and 97% for gas lifted wells.

14.2.3 Production Availability


Production availability (Aproduction) is the ratio of production to planned production,
or any other reference level, over a specified period of time. The measure is used
in connection with analysis of delimited systems without compensating elements
such as substitution from other producers and downstream buffer storage.
Battery limits need to be defined in each case.
The Production Availability in this Basis of Design is based on volume. The
reservoir/ well production potential or plant design capacity - is assumed to be
100% capacity; whichever is the lowest.

14.2.3.1 Battery Limits


In this Basis of Design document, the definition of Production Availability
includes:
Topsides production facilities
Subsea production facilities (including flow assurance, supply of utilities to
x-mas trees and subsea facilities)
Page 98 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

Process and Utilities


Export facilities
Environmental targets
Product quality Specifications
Water injection (overcapacity may compensate for downtime)
One day yearly stop for testing of critical valves
To aid clarity for facilities design, the following shall not be included:
Wells and reservoir performance
Weather restrictions related to logistics (helicopter flights, supply boats
and tanker availability)
Planned long term maintenance shutdowns (turnaround) and modification
projects

14.2.4 Export Availability


With export availability, it is the weather criteria that have been considered for the
shuttle-tanker. It is assumed the contract with the shipping company is sufficient
to ensure tanker availability do not impact this figure.
The weather criteria for the tank boats (assuming same class boats as for last
contract):
Significant wave height (Hs) less than 3.5 m when hooking up to the buoy
Hs < 4.5 m for the operation
Wind speeds < 20 knots if wind direction could blow the tanker towards
the Yme installation
An export availability of Aexport > 99.5% is achievable, but require ordering export
tanker early when weather is inclement when oil production is above about 4000
Sm3/d (25000 bbld).

14.2.5 Turnaround (Shutdown) Availability


Aturnaround is set to 2 weeks every 3rd year. For the relevant year this equals (365-
14)/365 = 96,2%.

14.3 Vapour Pressures (RVP/ TVP)


14.3.1 Reid Vapour Pressure (RVP)
Is the absolute vapour pressure exerted by a liquid at 100F (37.8C) as
determined by the test method ASTM D-323.

14.3.2 True Vapour Pressure (TVP)


Is the equilibrium partial pressure exerted by a volatile organic liquid as a function
of temperature. A corresponding temperature is required for TVP to be defined.

14.4 HSE Plan


The Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Plan is document that specifies the
main requirements and activities to be developed during the different phases of
the project.
This document describes how HSE shall be managed by Repsol Norge AS
(RNAS) Yme New Development Project organization throughout the project. The
project will be conducted in several phases, and the HSE Plan will be updated
accordingly.
The main objectives of the HSE Plan are to:
Present the key HSE requirements to all involved parties/levels

Page 99 of 119
Doc. Title: Basis of Design
Document No.: YME04-REN-Z-FD-0009
Rev.: 01

Provide a vehicle for HSE Management within all levels and phases of the
project
An HSE Activity Plan which further details the HSE activities will be developed
(reference 43).

14.5 Zero environmentally harmful discharge concept


Norways goal of zero environmentally harmful discharges to the sea was
introduced in (White Paper) Report no 58 (1996-97) to the Parlament (Stortinget)
on environmental policy for sustainable development. It has since then been
included in several more White papers, and information and current status can be
found at Norwegian Climate and pollution agency web-pages.
This objective is often misunderstood. It calls for discharges of environmentally
harmful substances to be reduced and minimised, not eliminated completely.
The zero discharge goal is to be reached within acceptable limits for the
environment, safety and economics. This has been underlined by several
subsequent reports to the Parlament.

14.5.1 Use of Chemicals


This objective involves the following restrictions on chemical usage:
no discharges of toxic or environmentally harmful chemicals
no discharges of other chemicals which could cause environmental harm
no or minimal discharges of substances which rank as pollutants in
chemicals.
None of the substances in the red and black categories defined by the Norwegian
Environment Agency (NEA) may be released to the sea.
NEA states in the report that the goal of zero environmentally harmful discharges
is regarded as having been attained for chemical additives.

14.5.2 Produced water


The following restrictions are also imposed on discharges of hydrocarbons and
other natural substances produced together with oil and gas:
no or minimal discharges of environmental toxins
no discharges of other substances which could cause environmental
harm.
The greatest remaining challenge is a further reduction in discharges of oil and
naturally occurring environmental toxins in produced water. The following
guidelines have been given by NEA in 2010 (Reference 22):
There is no general requirement for produced water (re-)injection
For new field developments, overall cost/ benefit evaluations should be
carried out; including overall environmental impact of measures to reduce
Produced Water emissions (recognising that injection may increase
emissions to air, etc.)
Long term impact of discharge of produced water to the marine
environment is not fully understood. In the coming years there will be a
continued focus on reducing these emissions by
o Improving effect of existing cleaning technology
o Develop new methods for removing harmful substances from
produced water
Additional requirements in regulations or field specific permits will be
considered to further reduce emissions

14.6 Stream Day vs. Calendar Day rates


When presenting production profiles, calculating economy, and designing
equipment, production volumes are given per day.

14.6.1 Stream Day


Stream day is the maximum production (throughput) the well/ field/ plant can
achieve in 24 hours of operation if everything is on line and working.
Stream Day is used for designing equipment and to identify production potential.
Unless otherwise stated, all presented production profiles and figures in this
document are given in Stream Days.

14.6.2 Calendar Day


Calendar day is the production for a full year, divided by the days in that year.
Baked into the Calendar day figure is Production Availability, Well availability,
planned maintenance stops, etc.
Calendar day is a lower figure than Stream day.
Calendar Day is used typically for calculating project economics, production
forecasts etc.

Appendix 1 Production Profiles


The production profiles below are developed from work done in late 2016/ early
2017 (ref 49). The case shown is a full gas lift case with a total Gas Capacity of
1,1 mSm3/d. For the rates in the tables to exactly match the 1,1 mSm3/d capacity,
the numbers supplied should be multiplied with well uptime (0.97), as the
displayed rates are streamday rates without any uptime considerations.
.
If the Gamma East wells are being produced by ESPs, the oil rates will be
marginally higher, gas rates lower (as lift gas will not be included), whilst the
water rates are likely to increase due to the pumps being able to lift water more
efficiently in late life. The higher water rates have been accounted for in the
capacities requested for the plant (Table 4-3), and are displayed in the figures in
section 4.4.
The following profiles are included in this appendix:
