Design of Subsea Structures

Key assets The continuing trend towards subsea developments often in deepwater places ever greater emphasis on the need for cost-effective and practical subsea structures. These structures must support and protect critical piping and equipment for the life of the eld, whilst providing easy diver/ROV access for critical intervention tasks. Reliable performance of these assets is critical to the success of a development, requiring great care and attention to detail in design. Our comprehensive design service covers conceptual, FEED, preliminary and detailed engineering of subsea structures, supported by our team of experienced subsea engineers. We work closely with client, installation contractor and fabricator throughout the project to ensure suitability of a t for purpose nal design and compressed schedule. Structure types Our design team has experience of all types of subsea structures in deep and shallow water, including manifolds, templates, SSIV protection, PLEM, subsea distribution assemblies, wellhead protection, drill centres, dynamic riser bases, tether clump weights, subsea PLR modules, PLET and in-line wye/tee assemblies. Layout Use of AutoDesk Design Suite 2014, including AutoCAD, Inventor and 3D Studio Max, to dene layout of piping, valves, actuators, anges, tie-ins and equipment. Size and weight optimised to suit installation vessel and fabrication facility. Designs tailored to suit diver or ROV IRM philosophies (tie-in, valve operation, equipment installation/retrieval). Structural analyses State of the art structural design software is used to develop efcient structure designs in accordance with either limit state or permissible stress codes. Global analysis may cover or involve load-out, transportation, marine lifting, installation and in-place analysis including hydrodynamic and earthquake loading. External loads from dropped object impacts, trawl snag and pipeline tie-ins can be addressed. Piping assemblies are designed in conjunction with adjoining spools and foundations, and can be combined in the global structural analysis to capture critical interaction effects. We have experience in the design of structures, piping, tting analysis and design to the range of commonly applied codes and standards.

Survey and Routeing

Critical up-front task Optimal route selection at the outset of an offshore pipeline project has the potential to minimise subsequent design challenges and dramatically reduce construction costs. The critical importance of routeing decisions is recognised in our approach, which combines extensive experience with rapid and effective analysis tools to screen candidate routes. Whilst these specialist skills are often generally available to ofce-based desk studies and detailed engineering, we are able to perform rapid analysis onboard offshore survey vessel In many cases we are able to avoid geohazards, eliminate spanning, and minimise installation difculties even before completion of the survey. Where routeing challenges cannot be resolved offshore, we ensure that the survey data acquired is adequate for rigorous assessment during FEED and detailed design.
Crossing existing pipelines and cables (Goliat Development) Project highlights Gulf of Aqaba Crossing: Egypt, 2003 The 36" pipeline passes from Taba in Egypt to Aqaba in Jordan, crossing the 860m deep Gulf of Aqaba: a depth record for this size of pipeline. Both sides of the gulf are extremely steep, with numerous gullies and unstable slopes, and delicate corals at the shore approaches. Any pre- or post-lay intervention would have been very costly, with no scope for trenching or rock cover. Identifying a suitable route was particularly challenging, requiring sophisticated numerical analysis to minimise span lengths and avoid landslide run-out zones. KW supported the owner, EGC, at every stage of the project, with routeing specialists present on all offshore surveys. The nal selected route eliminated all intervention requirements, in spite of extremely challenging seabed terrain. Agiba Project: Gulf of Suez, 2005 Offshore and Onshore Support for pipeline routed in shallow waters with extensive reefs and rocky areas off the east coast of Egypt. Pipeline route optimised to avoid excessive spanning, relax installation tolerances, and avoid severe cross slopes to ensure lateral stability.
Routeing through steep slopes (ENIs Goliat Development)
North Idku Project: Offshore Egypt, 2006 Pipeline route optimised to avoid reef and pass through at seabed to improve trenching conditions. Pipeline route length minimized. Offshore support was provided to acquire rsthand data and perform real time route selection. Survey operations were adjusted in the eld to suit selected route.

Upheaval Buckling and Out-of-Straightness Analysis

Out-of-straightness (OOS) analysis is one of KWs main strengths that enables the company to remain at the leading edge of upheaval buckling (UHB) analysis. Unique analysis package KW has developed an accurate and consistent OOS analysis methodology, which is based on the use of the SAGE Prole FE package combined with the Download Monitoring System (DMS) to calculate the download requirement to prevent upheaval buckling in pipelines. The KW OOS analysis method is combined with a reliabilitybased approach in order to capture the uncertainty in design input parameters. ABAQUS non-linear FEA is used to calibrate the OOS analysis models for HPHT and PIP applications. The DMS analysis tool, pioneered and developed by KW staff, has been used on almost all the pipelines installed in the North Sea since 1999. The analysis method has been subject to DnV, Lloyds and Bureau Veritas scrutiny and verication on several projects. KW assurance A dedicated, proactive, and responsive engineering team with extensive experience of advanced structural mechanics and pipeline engineering can be assigned to respond to the projects demands. KWs ability to perform the OOS analysis quickly and thoroughly can be demonstrated by reference to our track record in this eld over the past years. Rock dump schedules can be provided as swiftly as within 24 hours, if required, from the receipt of raw OOS survey data.
Download Monitoring System KW analysis tool In the past, assessment of the amount of rock cover has incorporated a large degree of conservatism, resulting in excessive cost to the installation contractor. Thus, KWs main OOS analysis objectives are: To provide an adequate level of safety in the operating pipeline to ensure that upheaval buckling will not occur during the operating life of the pipeline. To minimise the volume of rock required to eliminate upheaval buckling, commensurate with the requirements for adequate safety.

Lateral Buckling and Pipeline Walking

A recent requirement in pipeline engineering The move to deep water and higher temperatures and pressures in recent years has introduced lateral buckling and walking as new problems in the pipeline design process. Where practical and economic considerations prevent burial of pipelines, the potential to snake and walk is often unavoidable. Advanced design and analysis methods, often coupled with special construction measures, are then needed to ensure a safe and reliable system containing engineered lateral buckles. KW has been at the forefront of developments in this specialist eld, with a substantial track record of lateral buckling and walking studies for leading international contractors and operators worldwide. The mitigation measures required to control walking and lateral buckling can be very costly. KW has wide experience in the design of fully integrated solutions, designed to guarantee pipeline integrity for minimum overall cost.

High Pressure and High Temperature Systems

Temperature (C)
New design challenges in marginal elds The feasibility of constructing pipelines to transport high temperature and pressure contents has become central to the development of marginal elds. Pipeline systems with uid temperatures of 160C or more have been, and are currently, being designed. At temperatures above about 120C several factors become pertinent which are not signicant for pipelines transporting lower temperature contents. These factors include: The effect of elevated temperatures on the mechanical properties of the pipeline steel, including carbon steel, corrosion resistant alloys (CRA) and CRA lined carbon steel pipe. Practical problems encountered when designing pipeline systems that can conform to current codes based on limiting stress conditions and the relevance of limit state codes to high temperature pipelines. The requirement to adopt a strain-based design methodology. The adjective strain-based is used here to describe pipelines where the traditional limit on the equivalent stress in the pipeline is replaced by a limit on the strain experienced by the material. These factors must be resolved in order to ensure that HPHT pipelines can be operated with suitable levels of safety.

Research and Development

KWs success is assured by its ability to provide engineering solutions to projects which are technically challenging and situated in regions that are renowned for being environmentally challenging. These include deep water, highly undulating seabeds, very soft soils and seismically active areas, as well as reservoirs which are high pressure and high temperature. These factors alone, or in combination, require KW to stretch and often work beyond the limits of existing engineering methods, codes and technologies. In order to achieve this capability we supplement our experience and knowledge with specic research and development projects, both internally and externally. As an example we have a number of internal development projects, examining areas such as assessment methods for induction bends and new methods for assessment of upheaval buckling of rigid pipelines. We are also in the process of developing a JIP aimed at assessing the behaviour of exible pipelines during operation under varying temperatures and pressures. KW has developed a close relationship with Cambridge University where one of the benets is access to their high tech laboratory facilities. The following projects are ongoing: Uplift Resistance of Buried Pipelines This three year project is investigating some of the complex issues of pipe/soil interaction behaviour with regard to uplift resistance, such as mobilisation displacement and soil ratcheting. Cyclic Behaviour of Monopile Foundations for Offshore Wind Farms This three year project is aimed at understanding the long-term behaviour of large diameter monopiles subject to axial and cyclic lateral loading. KW is collaborating with Cambridge University, together with Dong Energy and Renewable Energy Systems. The project is funded by EPSRC. KW has also collaborated with the University of Dundee and co-supervised research focussed on pipe/soil axial friction formulation for granular materials. This entailed carrying out experimental investigations to understand the axial resistance of buried pipelines in sand.

A 10km line will be insulated and operate at 375 bar and 110C. Different material and conguration options were considered, including PIP. Assessment of reeling of the 12/16" PIP and effect of reeling on operation and UHB. Pressure was 207 barg and temperature 80C. FEED design of an onshore Sulphur Transportation System, in the UAE. The system consists of a series of insulated PIP pipelines (adding up to a total of over 800km), in which molten sulphur is transported on the inner pipe. In the annulus of the PIP system, superheated water is circulated to maintain the sulphur temperature within the range at which it can be transported in liquid format, i.e. between 125 and 150C. The design also includes single, insulated water return pipelines to circulate the superheated water. The Jasmine Field (nominally HPHT) is a rich gas condensate eld located approximately 9km west of the existing Judy platform in ConocoPhillips J-Block operating unit. Key is experience of scour and shing in the area and previous work on Jade pipeline project. KW provided CoP with some of the Pipeline Concept Engineering Services by considering different pipeline options (i.e. single insulated pipeline and pipe-in-pipe options) and insulation coatings. Different pipeline conguration options were considered such as cooling spools with pipeline trenching and backlling, shallow burial with intermediate spools and surface snake lay option. The vulnerability of different pipeline options to upheaval buckling and lateral buckling were all assessed.
