KBR-AMCDE, Alkhobar, Saudi Arabia

Senior Technical Professional

Project – CRPO 36

The “Maintain Potential Facilities in the Zuluf Oil Field (BI-10-02016)” is one such, intended to develop and upgrade the facilities in the Zuluf Oil Field by installing pipelines and offshore platforms.

Three (3) new SSS PDMS.

Submarine Pipelines & Topside Pipeline Downstream Tie-ins.

Submarine Umbilical’s

The production from platforms ZULF 630/639 (5S) is routed via a 12” flow line to 24” subsea valve skid. The subsea valve skid is also connected to the existing platform ZULF 33/38. The 24” flow lines then terminates to the existing ZULF GOSP-2.

The production from platforms ZULF 680/689 (5Q) is routed via a 16” flow line to the existing Tie-in platform ZULF TP-7.

The production from platform ZULF 450/459 (5R) is routed via a 16” header to the existing tie-in platform ZULF TP-8 via a sub-sea connection at ZULF 470/479.

Project – WER: 042

The purpose of the facilities is to produce 600 MBCD of Arab Heavy crude oil increment to maintain the Maximum Sustainable Capacity (MSC) by installing twenty four (24) Arab Heavy (AH) production wellhead platforms and provision for eleven (11) future AH platforms (to be installed under MPP in future) as well diverting existing AH production to the new TPs at Zuluf offshore field. The facilities will also provide provision for additional unknown future AH platforms.

Project – 5 PIPELINE REPLACEMENT IN BERRI FIELD.

As part of Saudi Aramco’s Offshore MPP 2014 increment (BI-10-00909), it is planned to replace several aging pipelines in the BRRI Field.

Saudi Aramco (COMPANY) has awarded Dynamic Industries (CONTRACTOR) the installation of 5 No. replacement subsea pipelines including a 36” trunkline to shore and associated launcher/receiver and piping facilities in the BERRI offshore field, under CRPO 3648. Dynamic Industry have awarded the verification of the design and detail design of the pipeline and associated piping facilities to KBR-AMCDE (Design Sub-Contractor).

1)AA201 – 16” BRRI 95/100 to BRRI TP-3 Flowline

2)AA202 – 10” BRRI 52/57 to BRRI TP-3 Flowline

3)AA203 – 24” BRRI TP-2 to BRRI TP-1 Bi-Directional Tie-Line

4)AA204 – 36” BRRI TP-1 to Abu Ali Plant Trunkline

5)AA205 – 10” BRRI 58/63 to BRRI TP-1 Flowline

Project – WER: 035

In Central SFNY 2 No. new SSS platform are to be installed with a new 16” HDR #23 from SFNY 1110/119 to SFNY TP-18 with SFNY 1030/1039 as lateral to HDR #23. New 15 kV submarine cables from SFNY TP-18 are to be installed to the two new platforms.

In North SFNY a new SSS platform SFNY 1130/1139 is to be installed NE of SFNY 1090/1099. Existing 16” HDR #21 from SFNY 1090/1099 to SFNY TP-19 is to be extended to the new SFNY 1130/1139 with the scraper launcher at SFNY 1130/1139. SFNY 1090/1099 is to be converted to a lateral to 16” HDR #21. SFNY HDR #21 and SFNY 1090/1099 are currently under construction by OTHERS under BI-10-01263. A new 15 kV submarine cable from SFNY TP-19 to be installed to SFNY 1130/1139 platform.

Project – WER: 026

The purpose of the project is to support Berri 250 MBCD of Arabian Light crude oil increment to maintain the Maximum Sustained Capability by installing ten (10) additional production platforms, one (1) tie-in platform and one (1) water injection platform at Berri offshore field along with associated flow lines and cables. The new facilities will produce 185 MBCD of the 250 MBCD increment. The scope also includes the requirement to transport the crude produced from the proposed onshore drill sites and Drilling Islands to the new proposed tie-in platform TP-4. Furthermore, the water injection requirement for the newly proposed North Jubail Platform will be covered under this budget item. The proposed producing platforms and tie-in platform are to be electrified via submarine power cables for the platform operations and ESP well operations. The proposed power supply is via BRRI TP-3 to TP-4, with a redundant power supply to BRRI TP-4 path from BRRI TP-2. The power to all producing new wellhead platforms will be supplied from BTP-4 except two platforms where the power is from BTP-1 & BTP-2. The power supply to the existing TPs is via submarine cables from Abu Ali substation inside Abu Ali GOSP-5.

Project – WER -014/015 PLATFORM REPLACEMENT IN SFNY FIELDS

The upgrade to the platforms in SFNY field are part of Saudi Aramco’s ongoing SFNY Master Plan implementation to install ESPs (downhole pumps) in existing wells and to replace the aging pipeline network in the field. To operate the ESP’s, power is provided via submarine power cables. The submarine cables are composite power and FOC with the latter used for communications to/from the plant control room. New SSS topsides facilities are to be provided by demolishing and removing existing topsides and installing new ones. The existing jacket and pile structure are incapable of supporting the new SSS decks and resisting the latest boat impact design criteria. On this basis the existing jackets are demolished and removed from the seabed with only the conductor wells being retained from the facility. The jacket piles are cut 0.5m below seabed with the section of piles above along the jacket demolished and removed. The remainder of the piles below seabed will be abandoned in-place. New SSS jackets will be slipped over existing wells and piled to the seabed. In addition to the existing wells new ones will be added to the new WHP facility as required.
