DIVERLESS SUBSEA PRDUCTION SYSTEM TEMPLATE SYSTEM TESTING PROGRAMME [STAGE 3] : INSHORE TESTING

Obiettivo

Development of any offshore hydrocarbon reserves discovered in water depths in excess of 350m on the European Continental Shelf is considered to be of crucial importance to Europe. In order to sustain exploration in such areas with the objective of increasing European recoverable reserves it is essential that cost effective diverless subsea production technology is developed.
BP Petroleum Development Ltd's Diverless Subsea Production Systems ( DISPS) Project has the objective of providing diverless technology for natural drive oil or gas production, oil production with gas lift or water injection duty by the mid 100's when development of deeper water reservoirs will be necessary to maintain European reserves of hydrocarbons.
Evaluation of results is in progress.
The project is a staged one following on from Stages 1 and 2 being undertaken under Contract TH/03233/87. Stage 3 consists of a series of tests at an inshore sheltered location using the Test Rig manufactured under Stage 1. Stage 4 will consist of testing at an offshore location. These tests are aiming to demonstrate in progressively mogre onerous operating conditions that the components and systems, envisaged by the BP DIOSPS development programme for a multiwell modular template, will work.
The BP DISPS development programme is developing the principles, concepts, designs, techniques and equipment to exploit hydrocarbon reserves in 350m-750m water depths utilising subsea diverless techniques. The principal system under development is a multiwell ( 2-18 slot) modular template able to be installed and maintained without the use of divers. The template is capable of catering for a manifolded or non manifolded arrangement with satellite wells tied in, and produced through either a remote or local, fixed or floating production facility. The project's objective is to verify the inshore and offshore testing to prove the design basis of the interconnected equipment modules, which are retrieved to the surface for repair/replacement of components.
The two sequential stages of more realistic testing than the land testing stage are described below :
Stage 3 - Inshore Testing Stage (Included in Contract TH/03296/88) The inshore testing Stage is required to verify those aspects of the design which cannot be simulated on land, e. g.
ROV manoeuvreability. Thus the tests are confined to those which are sensitive to a change from air to a water environment. It is proposed that tests be carried out in a sheltered water inshore location after the test rig used in the land tests has been set on the seabed. A crane (on a barge) will be used to deploy the RGV and modules into the water. Good underwater visibility and a water depth of approximately 150m are required.
Loch Linnhe in the West of Scotland is proposed as the site to undertake the tests.
Stage 4 - Offshore Testing Stage (Not included in Contract TH/03296 /88).
The requirements are presently preliminary, but the objective of this testing would be to give confidence of the system operations in the real harsh environment.
