WELCOME TO UTC 2019 THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION WELCOMES YOU TO THE 25TH UTC Welcome to UTC 2019, the 25th Underwater Technology Conference (UTC). Since its beginnings, in 1980, UTC has gained international recognition as a meeting place for the world’s leading companies in underwater technology. Yearafter-year, participants at UTC have highlighted the high-quality presentations and networking opportunities, and the opportunities to develop new relationships, knowledge and business. From the very beginning, the focus at UTC has been on the potential to push the boundaries of subsea technology for the oil and gas industry. Going forward, UTC is looking to do the same for offshore renewables. We now have a broader energy perspective. This year’s theme for UTC is “Subsea and beyond – the power to transform”. It indicates that we can build on the strength we have in subsea technology development in the oil and gas industry and use it to empower the transformation we are facing in the years ahead, both in terms of the energy transition and in other key areas, such as digital transformation. Over the generations, ocean industries have shown the ability to adapt, innovate and develop new technology. Our Market Insight seminar, on Day 0 of UTC, will elaborate on the entrepreneurship needed to achieve the next transformation. We’ll also hear perspectives on the industry outlook, transition and transformation scenarios. The Market Insight seminar will be followed by our Icebreaker event, which always provides excellent networking opportunities. The networking will continue in the conference exhibition area; the focal space for conference delegates and visitors throughout UTC. We try out best to make your time at UTC as rewarding as possible. If you have any ideas how we can make it better, please let us know. The Underwater Technology Foundation (UTF) is a noncommercial entity and is the joint organizer of UTC, alongside GCE Ocean Technology. The foundation’s mission is to increase the level of competence within underwater technology and its related disciplines, by developing and disseminating knowledge through arranging conferences, trade shows and meetings, and by contributing to research and education. Please have a look at the separate section about UTF in the program.

UTF and GCE Ocean Technology extend our great appreciation to all the committee members, moderators, presenters and panelists at UTC, for their efforts and their contribution towards the quality of this year’s conference. We would also like to extend a big thank you to all of the individuals that have contributed to the success of all of the preceding 24 UTC conferences. Thank you. We are very pleased and honored to welcome you to Bergen and to the 25th UTC. On behalf of UTF Hans-Erik Berge Chair of the UTF Board

GREETINGS FROM THE UTC PROGRAM COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE PROGRAM COMMITTEE, THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION AND CO-HOST GCE OCEAN TECHNOLOGY, OUR PARTNERS, SPONSORS AND EXHIBITORS, WELCOME TO UTC 2019. While this is our 25th conference, UTC is in fact 39 years old this year, having first been held in 1980. Underwater technology has always been at the core of UTC. But, there is also a bigger picture. The UTC committee recognises that we are facing potentially challenging and changing markets. Some companies have already started to look to different sectors, such as offshore wind and fish farming. They’ve also explored alternative strategies, such as introducing new business models and contracting strategies. While this activity was driven by the downturn, we feel this is something that will continue and grow. This year, therefore, as well as our core focus on subsea technology, the event, under the theme ‘Subsea and Beyond – the Power to Transform’, will debate the current global challenges that will shape the future of the industry, including energy transition, the increasing role of gas and the development of ocean renewable technologies, as well as to how to make the industry attractive to next generations of talent.

technical sessions, exhibition and networking opportunities. This year, we’re also featuring speakers chosen by the UTC Youth Committee, as part of our drive to bridge the perceived gap between the industry and the young people who are its future. So, sit back and soak up in the top-level views alongside the detailed technical discussion, get involved and network during our regular breaks and lunches and be sure to visit our exhibitors. On Wednesday night, come and celebrate our industry and meet your peers at our Conference dinner, during which we will present the annual Underwater Technology Conference Subsea Award. Meanwhile, don’t forget to take in some of the sights of our host city, Bergen. On behalf of UTC Program Committee Jon Arve Sværen Chair UTC 2019 Program Committee

There is no question that our industry will continue to develop in the years to come. Emerging and growing industries, such as offshore renewables, will need support from our versatile, innovative and adaptive subsea industry towards achieving success and maturity in the total ocean space. Where are you placed in the future energy mix? What can your company do in this perspective? What are you doing to promote the industry, to attract the best talent? These are the questions you should be asking yourself. This week, we are not going to have all the answers, but, we have prominent speakers lined up to offer their strategic perspectives, alongside the extensive parallel

UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION SINCE 1980, BERGEN HAS SERVED AS THE HOST CITY FOR THE WORLD’S OLDEST UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE. THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE EVENT IS THE UNDERWATER TECHNOLOGY FOUNDATION (UTF), WITH THE CONFERENCE NOW BEING JOINTLY HOSTED BY UTF AND GCE OCEAN TECHNOLOGY UTF is a non-commercial entity, established in the 1980s, when several major companies and organizations joined forces to arrange a conference focused on subsea technology in Bergen. Back then, the subsea industry was in its infancy and the foundation was the first in the world to put on a conference solely focused on this sector. UTC – AN INTERNATIONAL NETWORKING ARENA Ever since the first Underwater Technology Conference (UTC), UTC has been a regular event in Bergen, in the middle of a region that has developed in to a world leading ocean technology cluster. For the first 30 years, UTC was held biennially. From 2010, it has been an annual event, gathering between 600 and 1000 participants annually, many come from the world’s major producing basins, from Brazil to the Gulf of Mexico, and from West Africa to Australia. This June’s UTC 2019 will yet again be an international meeting point for the world’s leading underwater technology companies in the energy industry. New technologies will be presented, and industry challenges discussed. THE FOUNDATION PROMOTES KNOWLEDGE, EXPERIENCE TRANSFER AND NETWORKING A core purpose of the UTF is to increase competence within underwater technology and related disciplines. This is to be achieved through developing and disseminating knowledge,

through conferences, trade shows and meetings, and by contributing to research and education. Events like the UTC, which includes an exhibition open to everyone interested in learning more about underwater technology, plenary and panel sessions and a wide-ranging technical programme, as well as excellent networking opportunities, help us to achieve this goal. In addition, the foundation may hold additional meetings and exhibitions, and will contribute to research and training at university level. GRANT To fulfil our commitment to furthering university level research and training, the Foundation offers a grant, which applicants in need of financial support towards their underwater technology research or training projects can apply for. We would like to encourage applications from students and professionals with relevant projects. UTF Today, the UTF consists of the following companies and organizations: Equinor ASA, Aker BP ASA, Aker Solutions ASA, One Subsea, TechnipFMC, Subsea 7 ASA, DNV GL, NORCE, NUI, GCE Ocean Technology, NPF, DNB ASA and the Municipality of Bergen.

A BIG WELCOME TO ALL PARTICIPANTS FROM GCE It is a great pleasure to welcome all participants to the 25th Underwater Technology Conference in Bergen. GCE Ocean Technology is proud to co-host the UTC Conference for the third time where the theme; Subsea and beyond – The power to transform is, more than ever, a valid theme for the industry and our cluster. Since 2014, our cluster, and the industry, has indeed shown that it has the power to transform beyond subsea; Solutions from the oil and gas industry are now being used in both the marine and maritime industry: Sensors and cameras are helping seafood farmers controlling fish lice and water quality, and know-how and technology from the subsea industry is frequently being used to develop renewable energy in offshore wind parks. However, there is still a lot to be transformed, so we are looking forward to meeting the industry at UTC and learning more about programme themes like “What’s next for the subsea market?”, how we can “engineer the future” and be presented with gamechanging products and services.

AWARDS ON BEHALF OF THE CLUSTER As in previous years, GCE Ocean Technology will present two awards at UTC; Best Student Award and Subsea Upcoming Company of the Year Award: THE SUBSEA UPCOMING COMPANY OF THE YEAR AWARD is a cooperation between GCE Ocean Technology, Sparebanken Vest and the Underwater Technology Foundation. The objective is to contribute to the development and commercialisation of new and growing companies with products, concepts and services within the subsea industry. THE BEST STUDENT AWARD IS AN AWARD given to the Best Student taking the Bachelor in Subsea Technology at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL). The award is a cooperation between GCE Ocean Technology, Sparebank 1 SRBank and the Underwater Technology Foundation. Bringing the industry together is a core value of the Underwater Technology Conference and also a hard core value of ours. We hope you will enjoy the conference and we are looking forward to seeing you at the conference and welcoming you at our stand.

Subsea and beyond - the power to transform

FROM ITS HUMBLE BEGINNINGS IN THE OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY, JUST 50 YEARS AGO, NORWAY HAS BECOME A FRONT RUNNER IN SUBSEA TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT. While through its early years, it leaned on expertise from Houston, Norway now supplies high-end technology and expertise to the world. Yet, there are major changes coming within the industry, driven by global trends. Since the first UTC, in 1980, we have tracked the ups and downs of the subsea industry. Today is no different. In the short term, there’s been a welcome increase in activity following four long years in a downturn. The industry continues to re-shape itself, seeking cleaner, more automated and intelligent solutions against a backdrop in which climate change and its implications are discussed daily. Our theme this year is Subsea and beyond – The power to transform and our agenda includes discussion of the new environment we’re in, including energy transition, the increasing role of gas, the development of ocean renewable technologies, and our own industry’s sustainability within this framework. So, where are we today? “The downturn has really made some scars, international oil companies are in general investing in smaller projects than they were 5-6 years ago and they are really considering the bottom line. There is more optimism,” UTC programme committee member Bjørn Kåre Viken says. However, there are already signs of cost creep.

It’s a concern. Cost has very much been on Equinor’s agenda, even before the oil price crashed, and if it’s not kept in check subsea will face strong competition from alternative solutions. Where huge strides have been made in subsea processing technologies, now there needs to be an effort to better industrialise, standardise and simplify, to keep costs down, says Viken. Equinor is developing an open standard for its underwater drone re-charging station so that all vehicle vendors and all operators can use it. It’s also keen to make sure future all-electric subsea systems are standardised. Indeed, operators are working together on joint specifications for future all-electric systems so that there’s an ability to standardise from day one, avoiding the issues faced in the past with non-standard interfaces and ‘black boxes’. But, there are always more than one side to any story. “This year has been better for most companies, contracts have been signed, but the prices and the competition have increased, so it’s hard to make good business,” says Owe Hagesæther, chief executive at UTC co-host GCE Ocean Technology. “Energy companies need to allow the supply chain to have profitable contracts or there will be problems; inability to fulfil contracts, quality issues. On the other side, contractors, suppliers need to prepare themselves for hard competition and try to establish new related markets for themselves, such as in offshore wind, so that they have more than one leg to stand on.” Companies could also look at alternative business models, as some such as CCB Subsea have already done, establishing service

rental models, and working with smaller nimbler companies, such as Aker Solutions working with FSubsea, says Hagesæther. Committee member Tim Crome highlights Technip and FMC’s joint venture Forsys, which led to the two business’ merger, and its iEPCI (integrated EPCI) offering. Crome says: “We launched iEPCI about three years ago through the Forsys joint venture, and it’s taken off, in many ways more than expected. It has its appeal to all different sizes of operator.” It’s an enabler for small operators, but it’s also been popular with larger players he says, because it means they can retain smaller project teams when the upturn comes. But, there are also broader factors at play. “While costs and future standards must be controlled, the industry also needs to adapt further towards the energy transition and climate change,” adds Viken. It’s a theme very much rising up on the broader industry agenda. “Greta Thunberg (the Swedish teenage climate activist) has started something that we as an industry need to pay attention to,” says Viken. “In Equinor, we fully accept being a part of the problem, when it comes to emissions. But, we definitely want to be part of finding the solution to it as well. “One of the ways to obtain this is by doing more remote operations and to implement digital solutions,” he says; digitalisation, automation and use of robotics. Another is to reduce carbon emissions by using floating wind energy parks to provide power for offshore production facilities. Remotely operated subsea factories and/or unmanned facilities will also support this goal, as well as reducing risk and operational costs. CO2 taxes, on a global scale, would further drive these kinds of development, significantly lower ring carbon footprints, he adds.

Hagesæther. “There are new operators in Brazil, in addition to Petrobras, the market is opening up and it’s being to be an exciting opportunity for the Norwegian supply chain,” he says. There are concerns about skills and attracting new talent into the industry, which will mean looking at how the industry presents itself. But, the industry’s changing operating paradigm - to more remote, digitalised operations - could alleviate some of those concerns, Viken suggests. With the digital revolution happening, there will also be different types of skills needed, he says. “And those skills are available. Unmanned installations, onshore operation centres and updating existing fields require a lot of digital capability and competency. This opens a new chapter for our industry,” he says. “I believe we are going towards lean, smaller operations, taking advantage of digital technology and remote operations – subsea and unmanned - from onshore.” Written by Elaine Maslin

If companies can maintain their edge through new models and even markets, their real strength –subsea technology – will have future markets. Indeed, while the Norwegian Continental Shelf is on most of their doorsteps, there’s are huge possibilities ahead in growing but also challenging markets such as Brazil, says

Book cover of "Getting Down To It - 50 years of subsea success in Norway by Kristin Øye Gjerde and Arnfinn Nergaard.

NORWAY'S SUBSEA HISTORY is a tale of pioneering spirit and drive, innovation and

boldness, and world class technology solutions and engineering skills. It’s about staking out an unexplored route, and about the way Norway – despite harsh weather conditions, deep waters and strict government regulation – has moved from importing subsea equipment for its Ekofisk field in 1971 to become a leading exporter of underwater technology worldwide in 2019.

Kristin Øye Gjerde

Arnfinn Nergaard

Subsea wells currently account for about half of Norway’s offshore oil and gas production. But Norwegian offshore technology also has a substantial transfer value to related activities such as offshore wind power, aquaculture and seabed mining. This sector will thereby provide the basis for new industrial development in coming decades. Knowing where the industry has come from will be valuable for understanding its present position – and where it is heading. Underwater technology is not only an important element in the oil and gas industry, but also a key part of Norwegian industrial and contemporary history. This book has been written for a broad audience, is copiously illustrated and presents developments partly chronologically and partly thematically. The story of Norwegian subsea technology has both a national and an international market. It is being published in separate and parallel English and Norwegian editions, and will be relased at UTC's exhibition 12th of June. 13

Adapting to the new world: what’s next for the subsea market? Mhairidh Evans, WOOD MACKENZIE Through a challenging few years, the subsea industry has adapted and evolved. This paper will set out Wood Mackenzie’s insights on the current and future conditions for the subsea market. In the presentation, we will start with a short bit of context on some of the key talking points of the past couple of years (low activity, smaller contract sizes). Then we will focus very much on the future. We will discuss Wood Mackenzie’s view on the direction, pace and profile of future growth in the subsea market; which regions and types of projects are standing out, and why?; how have breakeven economics changed over the past few years and what’s the outlook? We will pose (and answer) the question ‘are mega-projects gone for good?’. And present on the changing motivations of operators when taking project FIDs (and what that means for the subsea market). There are some interesting new ways of working that the subsea industry is advancing – integrated solutions, standardisation and digitalisation. This paper will discuss our view of the opportunities and challenges for these innovations, and the potential impact of them on project economics.

Stones - the world’s first 15 ksi ultra-deepwater subsea pump Arill Småland Hagland, ONESUBSEA Stones is a phased development that began production in September 2016 from two flowing subsea wells tied back to an FPSO. Full-field development includes six more wells from two connected drill centers, and a subsea boosting system to increase production and extend the life of the field. This paper will describe the technology qualification program and execution experience from developing and delivering the world’s first 15 ksi ultra deepwater subsea pump, as well as lessons learnt from the project, through component qualification, engineering, manufacturing, testing and installation. In addition, experience from commissioning and start-up of the boosting system will also be described. Multiple technology gaps were identified to meet the HPHT design parameters for Stones. To close these gaps an extensive Technology Qualification Program (TQP) was executed together with OneSubsea Processing. This was the start of a cooperation between Shell and OneSubsea with a common goal; to deploy the world’s first 15 ksi ultra-deepwater boosting system. Following the TQP, an EPC contract was awarded in 2015 that included a pump station with two off 2.9 MW pumps and topside power drive system. The pump system has been through an extensive execution and test phase that has been completed without any injuries. The complete system has now been handed over to the operator and has partially been installed as part of the world’s deepest oil and gas project. The Stones boosting system will enable the operator to maintain and extend production in addition to significantly increase the recovery at the field.

Remotely Operated Factory (ROF™) – the Roadmap to Always safe, High value and Low carbon Cecilie Gotaas Johnsen, EQUINOR Remote and unmanned operations including subsea tie-backs have been in the industry and Equinor’s portfolio for decades, i.e. Tordis boosting, Åsgard – and Gullfaks subsea compression and normally not manned platforms as Huldra and Valemon. From this knowledge and operational experience, combined with innovation and digitalization, Equinor’s Remotely Operated Factory (ROF™) has emerged and matured into several possible remotely operated and unmanned field development concepts. Unmanned Wellhead Platform (UWP™) has successfully been implemented and started at Oseberg H. From this lean design philosophy, UWP™ has further materialized to Unmanned Production Platform (UPP™) and Unmanned utility platform (UxP™), successfully targeting the corner stone of our business; Always Safe, High Value and Low Carbon. Field development solutions based on the UPP™ concept in combination with subsea technologies is assessed for several business cases. Beyond always safe which is designed into the unmanned and remotely operated facilities, stranded discoveries, marginal fields and new exploration plays can materialize using UPP™ with reduced capex and opex compared to standard PDQ greenfield solutions. Additionally, these concepts cater for further reduction in carbon intensity from our operations, enabled by simplified design solutions. A range of solutions are shown in a ROF™ roadmap increasing the business opportunities and competitiveness for the future.

North Sea Field Redevelopment - Using new subsea separation technology to de-bottleneck existing infrastructure and secure increased oil recovery. (OpCo Study) Asle Jostein Hovda, SEABED SEPARATION In one of the central NCS fields the main FPSO and infrastructure is suffering severe issues from excess produced water. This is a common problem to most mature area development on the NCS/UKCS. This excess water is hampering the overall profitability by filling up the FPSO processing system and taking up a large part of the capacity in the pipeline infrastructure. The result is loss of new revenue opportunities from failure to onboard new fields, increasing operating expenditures, and in general non-optimum production philosophy for the area development. With new and more efficient subsea processing technology such as the Dual Pipe Separator system (DPS), operators can remove the produced water at the seafloor before releasing it to sea or injecting in a reservoir, and thus enable new business development opportunities. Removing the water at the seafloor, the operators will gain from increased oil recovery due to a reduced back pressure on the reservoir and accelerated production from existing and new reservoirs. The DPS technology is based on using a pipe separator principle with a set of inclined pipes in parallel, making the solution scalable to both capacity, reservoir pressure and water depths. Since the DPS consists of a number of inclined pipes in parallel, the number of pipes can be adjusted to the capacity requirement. We will present a case study from a real NCS field where the DPS system will be integrated with already existing infrastructure to achieve significant IOR and open up the pipeline for new developments.

Vigdis Booster station – next generation booster project – why and how Ole Oekland, EQUINOR Vigdis Booster station project was sanctioned in November 2018. It is the first project in Equinor’ s project portfolio which has implemented the standardization principles for subsea booster stations. Equinor has since 2015 been defining and developing a standardized subsea multiphase boosting pump station with specified interfaces. The station will comprise of a foundation structure with trawl protection, a manifold module for connection to flow lines, a boosting pump module and an umbilical termination assembly. Key principles are a standardized manifold design with 2 off horizontal connections to the flow lines and 2 off vertical hubs (vertical bore) for connection of the pump module. The solution has been designed and engineered as a collaboration with SubseaDesign. Production on the Vigdis Field is currently limited by the capacity in the production lines and pressure drop across the topside chokes. Reservoir deliverability is limited by low reservoir pressure in some parts of the field, together with increasing water cut, leading to reduced energy into the system i.e. dropping wellhead pressures. OneSubsea will deliver both the pump system, including all-electric control, and the pump station. VBS will apply a 8.7 KV HV motor and thereby eliminate the need for subsea transformer and reducing investment cost benchmarked to similar subsea projects. The subsea pump interphase document described in the presentation is released as an open document allowing all companies, both operators and suppliers, to implement the proposals in their future field development where subsea booster pumps are part of the concept.

June 13th, 12:00-12:30, Track 2 @Klokkeklang Fast track EPCIC contract model to maximize economic recovery utilizing mature subsea processing system Jostein Tvedt, ONESUBSEA In 2016 TAQA identified that continued production from the Eider platform was becoming uneconomic and instituted a wide-ranging review of options for the Eider field and its subsea tieback Otter. It was determined that the maximum economic recovery (MER) would be achieved from bypassing production from the Otter field around Eider and flowing directly to North Cormorant, with the Eider platform undergoing cessation of production (CoP) and reverting to a utility platform for power and control for Otter. As part of this process and in May 2017 a contract was entered for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) of a subsea multiphase boosting system for the Otter Field. The Otter field is located at Block 210/15a, East of Shetland, and commenced production in 2002. The need to maximise recovery in subsea fields has driven the advancement of subsea processing technologies. This project has been executed, delivered, installed, commissioned and started up in just 16 months. This paper will focus on the key challenges in ensuring successful integrated project execution and highlight the success factors critical to delivering a long subsea tieback boosting project. Lessons learned for a fast track EPCIC long tie-back boosting project execution model will be provided, together with challenges and lessons learned re-using existing hardware in order to minimize capital expenditure. Early operational experience will be provided, as well as key features in terms of production assurance and drawdown capabilities. The fundamental benefits of subsea boosting by enabling stable well backpressures will be provided.

Subsea power distribution - Transforming field developments Knut Rongve, ABB ABB has since 2013 been running a 100MUSD Joint Industry project together with Equinor, Chevron and Total to develop technologies for subsea power transmission, distribution and conversion at greater distances, in deeper waters, and in harsher environments. The target environment is water depths up to 3000 meters, transmission distances up to 600 km, and power levels up to 100 MW. The first Subsea VSD was successfully tested in November 2018. This was an important milestone in the project. The subsea VSD operated for 1000 hours and demonstrated successful and reliable operation of the drive during different load conditions. In the final test campaign, the complete subsea power system will be tested together in a second shallow water in the summer of 2019. This will mark the end of this ground-breaking qualification project involving over 150 technical experts from 6 different European countries from ABB and our partners. After completion of final testing the products and systems will be available for commercial use, transforming future development of oil and gas fields. This presentation will give an insight into the latest progress and achievements. Further we will present the products and system aspects related to use of this technology and the benefits this could have on future field developments.

June 12th, 11:30-12:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Full scale testing of a game changing ultra-long step out power solution Jan Olav Fløisand, ONESUBSEA Andrea Sætre, SHELL

As part of the concept select phase, Shell has together with OneSubsea performed detailed power system analyses and executed several tests to validate the concept of providing power from shore on the Ormen Lange subsea compression development. The concept leverages pre-qualified and standard components in a proven power topology. Taking advantage of the testing facilities at Horsøy, a VSD has been operating various loads through a high voltage 120 km step out test arrangement replicating actual cable properties. The testing has included start up, stops, trips, speed and load changes, and operation across the complete frequency range. Both the analyses and testing prove that the concept of operating a load via a 120 km cable is fully feasible and can be evaluated as part of the concept select phase. Increased recovery by applying subsea boosting in terms of boosting is a field proven solution. As the subsea field developments are evolving and becoming more extensive, the significance of the system realization bottleneck in terms of stepout length feasibility, is continuously increasing. A general perception has been that new offshore platforms or alternatively the use of the non-field proven subsea VSD’s is required for large and long stepouts for subsea boosting. However, based on this step change, power demanding greenfield and brownfield applications can be transformed to low-risk economically viable projects by extending the reach of the field proven power system topologies. This presentation shares insight to the evaluation and confidence steps taken, from concept idea and analysis, to system verification.

June 13th, 12:00-12:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Hybrid Multiphase Modelling - Predictive and Digitalized before first steel is cut

Henrik Alfredsson, AKER SOLUTIONS Subsea Compression offers a low carbon footprint compared to topside offshore gas installations. Now and into the future we will use energy from an array of sources where gas will continue to play an important part. Producing this with the best available technology in the cleanest possible way should be our priority. Following the success of the Åsgard Subsea Compression Project Aker Solutions are going deeper, further and more compact creating the second

generation Subsea Compression Systems. The drive to predict, understand and digitalize already in project phase intensifies as flow rates and pressures increase and installed size decreases. This paper will present how novel digital tools are used to predict complex multiphase / multi physics events crucial to the functionality of the Subsea Compression System. Next generation Hybrid Multiphase Models have been used in cooperation between Aker Solutions and Siemens to predict multiphase liquid distribution and gas/liquid separator performance. The outcome is compared to real environment, high pressure, low surface tension measurements. This forms a validation benchmark showing how what was previously deemed “simulation wise impossible” now has evolved into a trustworthy engineering tool. In the Subsea Compression framework this enables perceived risk to be challenged and cost to be reduced way ahead of the test and integration phase. This drives down size and increases the safe operability envelope of the Subsea Compression System effectively getting more gas out on the market.

A 3D-printed subsea tool used for Egina development (Nigeria) Hugues Greder, TOTAL The 330 meter long Egina FPSO started to produce offshore Nigeria last December 2018. During the Egina development phase, Total successfully used Additive Manufacturing (3D-printing) to provide a subsea tool within seven days and avoid a shut-down of the nearby producing Akpo FPSO. The Egina Gas Export Line was to be tied back to the existing Akpo Gas Export line when it was found out that the connection pressure cap located on the subsea connection module was blocked and could not be removed. This was due to a blockage by gas hydrates. It was decided to remove all the nuts from the plunger flange, remove the flange and introduce a “methanol soaking tool” to get rid of the hydrates. The external shape of the tool was designed locally and then digitally sent to TOTAL 3D-printing center. The tool design was reviewed to optimize the shape of the methanol channels within the tool. A so-called “topological optimization” was performed to reduce the weight of the tool. A stress and strain analysis was conducted to make sure the tool would sustain deep-water injection conditions. The tool was then printed using a powder bed laser sintering technology. The retained material was polyamide-12. The 32cmx32cm tool was printed in 37 hours and weigths 11kg (ca. half of a machined tool). The tool was sent within 48hours to Port Harcourt and run subsea in 1250m water depth. After 2 hours of continuous soaking, the pressure connecting cap was successfully freed from hydrates.

Large modifiable underwater mothership MUM – Operational and technical concepts for complex unmanned tasks Willem Hendrik Wehner, THYSSENKRUPP MARINE Aim of the “MUM– Large Modifiable Underwater Mothership” Project is to explore near-future technology unlocking the potential of large UUVs within the next decade. We present a highly modular and variable unmanned underwater vehicle family, providing novel operational and technical concepts for efficient and economic subsea tasks and works under harsh conditions. The new vehicle class brings unconventional ideas to the table towards solving the needs of the offshore oil and gas industry regarding cost efficiency and reduced manning: The design of modular building block systems allows a focused mission-dependent module assembly. A scalable fuel cell based energy system, based on proven submarine technology will power the MUM throughout even long-term deployments. New developments in autonomy, navigation, and communication enable autonomous missions which usually require permanent operator control. With payloads or toolboxes up to ten tons, the MUM system will largely extend the possible tasks for UUVs. This concept design is going to be validated through model tests of vehicle variants in summer 2019 and real scale tests of critical components. Underlying operational concepts, mission module designs as well as vehicle configurations for the tasks were validated by industry experts e.g. from Equinor and PGS. Exemplarily, we present two relevant missions; i.e. the exchange of subsea control modules (SCM) by the vehicle and the deployment and retrieval of ocean bottom seismic nodes.

Innovative Local Heating Technology Provides Design Optimization and Operation Flexibility to Long Subsea Tie-backs Stephane Andrès, SAIPEM Several heating solutions are already field proven, they are based on distributed heating technologies like DEH and Heat tracing and are mainly considered for hydrate management under transient operations such as start-up, shutdown and preservation. Local heating is a different solution, intended to be used continuously during production. Heating the flowlines during production is a way to overcome thermal constraints, mitigate hydrate and wax risks, provide operating flexibility and optimize Capex. Indeed in the case of long distance tie-backs, very deepwater applications or when the fluid temperature at the wellhead is too low, conventional flow assurance solutions might be very expensive or even not applicable. A local heating device can be integrated into a subsea station, installed inline or in parallel of the main flowline and which can be retrieved for maintenance or be relocated. The technology is compact thanks to the use of induction which allows for the transfer of a high power (several MW) over a relatively short pipe length. The technology can be implemented either on new fields or on the extension of existing lines, is fully compatible with preservation by flushing and allows for pigging in case of deposits. This paper will present an overview of the local heating technology including a preliminary design and will then provide information on the small-scale prototype tests (100 kW heating) that have been performed and have confirmed heating levels and heating efficiency.

Field experience from the world's first subsea process cooler for wet gas compression Kristine Solberg, ONESUBSEA Equinor and OneSubsea Processing have cooperated in developing and qualifying the world’s first subsea wet gas compression system which was installed at the Gullfaks field in the North Sea in late 2015. The system has been in continuous operation since July 2017. Early in the compressor technical qualification program it became obvious that subsea cooling was mandatory for the success of a subsea wet gas compression system. Development of a wet gas process cooler was essential and required focus on several aspects such as cooler performance, fluid distribution, pressure loss, sand accumulation, hydrate formation, and marine growth. Reliability, robustness, size and weight were of high priority, as marine interventions are costly, especially for large equipment. Three years after installation, and 1.5 years in operation have provided extensive operational experience for the process coolers in the Gullfaks subsea wet gas compression system. It is of high interest to evaluate and compare operational experience from field with test data and calculations. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the experience gained from field with respect to cooler performance and flow assurance issues and compare with initial calculations and assumptions.

Subsea sea water treatment and injection – A cost efficient and flexible solution to increase recovery Eirik Dirdal, NOV With the downturn fresh in mind, oil and gas operators are challenging the market to come up with innovative low-cost solutions to increase recovery and improve their margins. This is particularly important in mature areas like the North Sea. Water injection is a common way of increasing recovery from reservoirs. Moving water injection subsea provides a cost-efficient solution and ensures safe operation, making field development economically viable. Utilizing the seabed to treat and energize surrounding seawater provides the long sought-after flexibility for both Brown- and Greenfields. Two oil service majors have joined forces and developed a complete water treatment and injection package solution based on Seabox™ and LiquidBooster™ technologies. With significantly reduced topside scope and utilizing standardized products, it is a cost-efficient solution to provide high-quality water to subsea wells for reservoir pressure support. One important aspect of the solution is that the sea water treatment and injection process is moved subsea, reducing the need for topside modification, which makes it easier to control cost, reduce the overall uncertainties and provide significant value creation to a field development. The water injection strategy can be decoupled from the host and provides a flexible approach to phase in water injection capacity when and where required, based on reservoir dynamics and/or synergies between a cluster of nearby fields. This presentation will give an introduction to a subsea sea water injection application, the associated benefits by moving this technology subsea and the advantageous synergies of a joint integration approach.

Test site in Trondheimsfjorden for Underwater Intervention Drone (UID™) - subsea docking station Pål Atle Solheimsnes, EQUINOR Test site in Trondheimsfjorden for Underwater Intervention Drone (UID™) – subsea docking station. NTNU and Equinor are collaborating regarding developing and installation of a UID docking station test-site. During the spring 2018 NTNU and Equinor have installed the world's first pilot of UID docking station in Trondheimsfjorden at 365 meters depth, northwest of Munkholmen. The docking station is powered and controlled from Trondhjem Biological Station (NTNU) about 2,2 km from site. The users of the docking station will be Academia (NTNU), UID suppliers, Operators and others. The aim for the pilot is to have possibility of testing and verification of new technology within UID technology and will be offered to the marked with a nonprofit rental cost to customers. From NTNU and Equinor view it is important to have this type of low threshold test site available to increase the speed of the UID technology research and development. The test site has an inductive power and communication system from Blue Logic, Wisub and Siemens. The paper will present a technical description of the test site in Trondheimsfjorden and an experience transfer of the first users of the docking station. The first user will start operation during spring 2018 (Eelume). Presented by Asgeir Sørensen (NTNU), Martin Ludvigsen (NTNU) Jan Christian Torvestad (Equinor) and Pål Atle Solheimsnes (Equinor).

June 12th, 17:00-17:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Full scale testing of a game changing ultra-long step out power solution

Alexandre Orth, BOSCH REXROTH 1. Objective All electric subsea actuators have been developed to provide solutions for the limitations of the traditional hydraulic actuators, such as demand for top side hydraulic power unit, need for hydraulic flow lines in umbilical’s. However, when it comes to the high actuation forces like 5’’ or 7’’ gate valves, the all electric solutions demand a large dimension and weight. However, the power density (force per size) is one of the advantages of hydraulic actuators. 2. Method Is it possible to create a hybrid solution which combines the advantages of both existing technologies, i.e. to get the best out of electrics and hydraulics? This work presents a novel approach for actuation of subsea valves which combines the strengths of an electromechanical actuator with a hydrostatic transmission. The paper will provide a prototype of a hybrid actuator for subsea production based on successful industrial solutions. 3. Results The main achievements are: 1. Cost-effective modular design (lean production management), 2. Environmental-friendly set up (no leakage of hydraulic fluid), 3. High power savings (up to a reduction of 75%), 4. High safety level (up to SIL 3), 5. High availability and condition monitoring, 6. Integration of a mechanical override, 7. Interchangeable electric drives (optional driven by ROV torque tools). The results are demonstrated by qualification test of a 2’’ gate valve for 3,000 m water depth. Hence, a 5’’ concept design shows the potential to build a complete actuator in the same space used today by a pure hydraulic cylinder. 4. Novel The designed Subsea Valve Actuator is more reliable as existing solutions without hydraulic umbilicals and emission of fluid into seawater, by offering a standard electric interface with integrated condition monitoring and safety. It is an important step to close the technological gap to accomplish the allsubsea factory, especially to replace existing hydraulic actuators.

June 12th, 17:30-18:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Ensuring safety and reliability of all-electric systems

Aslaug Melbø, BHGE Subsea electrification has been a recurring industry theme for more than 20 years, but adoption has been limited. Recently, there has been renewed interest in this concept, driven mainly by a reaction to cost pressures in the industry and an increased acceptance of enabling technologies for subsea electrification including electric actuation. One reason for the limited adoption has been that only standalone parts of the system have been qualified,

meaning that not all benefits of a fully electric system can be reached. Another reason is conservatism in the industry and concern that an all-electric system will not have the same safety and reliability as a conventional electro-hydraulic system. BHGE will present our systems approach to the all-electric development, ensuring all aspects are covered. Safety and reliability are key focus areas in the development. Important design decisions around the functional safety approach, fail-safe mechanisms and retrievability have been made early in the project to ensure the all-electric system maintains all aspects of safety and reliability that are expected from a conventional system. In addition, all-electric systems use more advanced monitoring and digital tools that further improve the reliability and integrity of the system.

World's larges bundle system for the Snorre Expansion Project Erik Klein, SUBSEA7 The Snorre Expansion Project in the Tampen Area will connect up to 24 wells in 6 new subsea drill centers. Connections are made through 21km of the largest bundle systems ever built, maximal in length, setting a record for diameter as well as weight. The flowlines in the bundles require no trenching or rockdump protection. This was an important factor to bring the project development cost and the project CO2 emissions down. The bundle structures were designed to be tolerably mobile on very soft clays, a soil type typical for the Norwegian Trench. This removed the need for rock foundation. The compact footprint of the bundle lay out enables the use of an innovative spool cassette installation method, positioning all spools and controls for a drill centre in a single lift. The bundles are installed using the controlled depth towing method. A significant advantage for the project because it did not compete for the availability of specialist pipelay vessels. The minimal installation time in the field allows flexibility for the extensive drilling campaign. The bundles house all field flowlines, service and control lines. The four flowlines are PIP, providing much better no-touch time than initially planned. The bundles control system is electrically actuated. WI lines are PE lined, using Linerbridge® technology, an industry first. And additional power and fibre optic cables are installed in the bundles to make them ready for the implementation of Underwater Intervention Drones in the Snorre field.

Hydrates plug removal in ultra-deepwater; Kaombo field real case application Guillaume Delaëter, TOTAL The FPSO Kaombo Norte came on stream on July 27 offshore Angola. When both its FPSOs will be at plateau, the biggest deep offshore project in Angola will account for 10% of the country’s production. Kaombo reserves are spread over an 800-square-kilometer area. The development stands out for its subsea network size with more than 270 kilometers of pipeline on the seabed between 1500-2000m water depth, including subsea production wells more than 25km away from the production facility. During the installation campaign of the Gas Export Pipeline, tied to existing subsea assets with no shutdown, some difficulties to complete properly precommissioning operations were faced. A hydrates plug was confirmed in the connecting equipment to subsea assets under operations, leading to temporary impossibility to perform the dewatering of freshly installed end-line equipment. Subsea activities were deeply prepared thanks to a transverse approach between stakeholders to reach a safe and efficient hydrate removal operation in very limited timeframe. A subsea skid was eventually deployed to perform sequences of depressurization and injection of hydrates inhibitor batches. This subsea operation, which represents an additional in-situ experience for hydrate mitigation, has been successfully carried out providing great achievement to deliver all subsea pipeline installation in due time.

Case histories demonstrating Splash Zone Tools &Techniques Tim Eley, OCEAN TECH In the Splash Zone environment, typically +/- 20 meters above or below sea level, (IRM) inspection, repair & maintenance services, have traditionally relied on vessel based, ROV or Diver supported operations. While these types of operations are generally carried out quite successfully in the subsea sector, they have proved difficult, if not impossible in the splash zone, where the effect of strong wind and wave and tidal conditions make traditional subsea techniques generally impractical. The core business of Ocean Tech is to operate Splash Zone ready tools and techniques, many using standard ROV tools & tooling, deployed from stable work platforms in the splash zone, using T4 Schilling robotic ROV arms, as found on most work class ROV’s. This presentation will demonstrate the types of operation currently being carried out in the splash zone, using a range of recent case histories from both North Sea and International Operator assets. The case histories will illustrate, not only standard cleaning and inspection techniques, but also state of the art inspection using “acfm” sensors for nodal weld crack detection on platform jackets. Much of this work is being transformed by the use robotic techniques to enhance the work of skilled ROV operators. In addition, we will also show how Ocean Tech installed “I” & “J” tubes in a remote offshore location, without the use of vessels, divers or ROV’s resulting in considerable savings for the Operator. No Vessels, No Divers, No ROV’s ……..No Problem!

Results from NOV Subsea Storage Parameter Assessment Testing Julie Lund, NOV The Subsea Storage System is designed to store hydrocarbons with or without dissolved gas subsea at ambient pressure. This paper presents benefits from an operators and suppliers point of view. This storage system is energy-efficient with a low environmental footprint and is developed based on experience from existing storage solutions in order to be a competitive alternative for future field developments requiring temporary storage. Engineering and testing activities previously conducted have provided the feasibility of operating a subsea storage unit with a flexible membrane defining the horizontal interface between oil and sea-water. This paper will present new results from a downscaled subsea storage system model testing, conducted by NOV together with Equinor, with focus on increasing the understanding of membrane behavior, oil ventilation system and governing parameters. The subsea storage system includes the innovative Cluster Unit design, consisting of multiple Subsea Storage Units (SSU), typically coupled as several hydraulic units for storage of hydrocarbons. During normal filling and offloading cycles, the Cluster Units will inherently operate in parallel without active flow control. The SSU is a gravity based, remote storage unit, that employs the concept of a flexible membrane protected by a protection structure. Lower complexity, combined with cost-effective installation, introduces new opportunities for field developments. This solution is also designed with the option to operate below wax appearance temperature and can make even smaller field developments profitable in an energy-effective manner with a low environmental footprint.

Nova – Maximizing value by utilizing existing infrastructure Sindre Solland, WINTERSHALL The 9.9 billion NOK Nova project is currently in the execution phase after the plan for development and operation was approved in September 2018. This presentation will explain how the chosen development solution will lead to a sustainable field and how the team has achieved significant cost reduction. Nova will be developed as a subsea tie-back connecting two templates to Neptune Energy’s Gjøa platform for processing and export. Gjøa will also provide lift gas to the field and water injection for pressure support. Power for the Nova field comes via the Gjøa platform from shore. The team judged that utilizing the Gjøa facilities and other existing infrastructure would be the most sustainable and economically robust solution. It will save costs for Wintershall and the partnership, extend the economic life-time of the existing infrastructure and allow for future tie-ins for new discoveries in the area. The presentation will also focus on how Wintershall worked closely with suppliers in the FEED phase to take significant costs out of the project. This is part of the project’s “One Team” approach to create value for the partners, host operator and suppliers. Through use of standard components, innovative contracting and encouraging close collaboration between FEED suppliers, the project estimate was reduced by almost 50% between choice of development solution and final investment decision.

Establishing new Recommended Practice for Subsea Pumping System Sofia Wilhelmsson, DNV GL DNV GL is together with the industry running a joint industry project (JIP) working towards cost efficient subsea processing, called the ‘Subsea Processing JIP’. The objective is to reduce cost in a lifetime perspective and make subsea processing more competitive through standardization and alignment of technical requirements, definitions, work processes and documentation. The JIP participating companies are Aker Solutions, BHGE, Equinor, OneSubsea, Petrobras, Shell, TechnipFMC and Woodside. The project will finish its Phase 2 in December 2018. The scope through the first and second phase has been to develop a Recommended Practice (RP) for Subsea Pumping Systems, which will be published during first half of 2019. The RP for Subsea Pumping Systems collects and bridges industry standards in use for subsea pumping systems, from well-established documents for subsea production systems, pressure containing systems, material standards and requirements for control systems and electrical power systems, through to more recent developments like API RP 17X for Subsea Pump Module Systems and Subsea Electrical Power Standardization (SEPS). The RP points to which parts of the collection of industry documents that apply for subsea pumping systems and adds specific requirements where this is relevant. It defines design classes and requirements to technology qualification, for more targeted and re-usable qualification. The RP also offers a methodology for increased predictability in witnessing activities during manufacture and testing. Further, an informative part of the document contains educational material and useful know-how on subsea pumping.

A vision of an integrated low carbon subsea future Neil Robertson, CRONDALL ENERGY, Co-author: Graeme Rogerson, THE OIL & GAS TECHNOLOGY CENTRE Recent technology development across the spectrum of subsea systems offers a vision of an integrated low-carbon future. This vision of a low cost, reusable tieback of the future could incorporate technologies such as on-bottom retrievable pipelines with mechanical connections, low friction internal coatings to reduce the need for flow assurance chemicals and combined with a subsea HPU/chemical delivery and local communications buoy could minimise or eliminate the umbilical. The presentation will identify the technologies available or being developed across the industry and identify their current readiness status (TRL). Technical and commercial barriers to realisation will be discussed and a possible roadmap to deployment will be outlined. The presentation will tie together recent technology studies by Crondall Energy and broader industry developments to show how low carbon subsea tieback solutions are emerging.

Integrated Front-End Work; Models, Benefits, and Challenges Sigurd Hernæs, TECHNIPFMC The subsea industry has for many years operated with a field development model where the work is split between the Subsea Production System(SPS) suppliers and the Subsea Umbilical, Riser and Flowline (SURF) (includes also installation) suppliers. The last years it has been a very strong focus on integrated studies and execution projects in the industry, as many believes this will have major benefits in both executing the necessary studies and the execution projects. This paper describes the findings of benefits and challenges for early phase study work from several recent studies with some different integration models, and the different models will be discussed. The studies were done in a company that have been merged from a Subsea Production System company and a Subsea Umbilical, Riser and Flowline company. However, as these two disciplines does not cover a complete subsea field development, the impact of the interfaces not being covered by the SPS and SURF integration is also to some degree discussed. Furthermore, the transfer to, and impact on the execution project is touched on in the paper. The paper concludes that integrated study models has several benefits, such as less time used to communicate between the parties, and that better concepts is likely as the interface issues can be solved and challenged over the table. However, there are challenges, such as the concepts may become proprietary, and the interfaces not covered by the integration model.

Subsea compression enabling offshore CO2 EOR Zabia Elamin, AKER SOLUTIONS Key learning outcome: Developments within subsea compression as an enabler for offshore CO2 EOR. The unique properties of CO2 can be used to enhance oil production as a value-creating supplement to permanent CO2 storage. The CO2 will mix with the oil and make the oil flow more easily, thereby increasing the production of oil. CO2 will be produced with the oil and must be separated and reinjected into the reservoir. Existing offshore platforms will normally not be able to handle the increased CO2 production without significant modifications requiring long shutdowns. Aker Solutions, in cooperation with Equinor and MAN Energy Solutions and partly financed by the CLIMIT program, have evaluated the proven Åsgard Subsea Compression technology for service with a CO2 rich gas mixture. This application may become an enabling solution for offshore CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR). The solution is a simplified subsea system for pre-treatment of the well stream to minimize the CO2 produced to an offshore platform. Oil and gas is sepa-

rated subsea and the whole gas phase is reinjected (CO2 and hydrocarbons) to minimize the amount of CO2 produced to the existing facility. SUBCOMP has included reservoir simulations, evaluation of required operating conditions to reduce the topside CO2 exposure and impact on export gas quality, evaluation of compressor functionality with large variations in gas composition and flow rates, design of the subsea processing plant, and material evaluations.

June 13th, 10:00-10:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Stand-alone Power Supply for Resident Underwater Inspection Drones using Wave Energy Converters Even Hjetland, FRED OLSEN

Fred. Olsen in Oslo has developed a technology where a floating buoy generates electrical energy at sea surface, from ocean waves. One of the units, the BOLT Lifesaver, has been engaged at US Navy test site in Hawaii. Weighting 56 tons and spanning 16m diameter, Lifesaver has three winched onboard, winch lines connected to seabed. During the summer of 2018, one ton of ocean sensing and subsea wireless power transfer equipment was installed onboard BOLT Lifesaver, and October 12th 2018 the complete system was installed on test site. Lifesaver stores some of the generated power in an onboard battery bank. The sensor package continuously draws 0.5-1kW of power from this battery bank. As we speak, the system has been installed for 61 days. She has generated power non-stop since installation, 3kW average, and have been able to supply the client sensor package it’s nominal power draw for 79% of the time, allowing for over 1.100 hours of operational hours so far, uptime only previously achieved by use of cable from shore. Fred. Olsen is now working on configuring the Lifesaver technology to a small, single winch version at 5m diameter, 10 ton weight, that can be quickly installed and recovered, and export the generated power through the winch line down to seabed to power UID docks and provide communication from seabed to surface and shore, thus allowing UID docks to be installed independent of available power and fiber infrastructure, hence greatly increasing capability of resident UID systems in subsea operation.

June 13th, 10:30-11:00, Track 3 @Troldtog Dynamic and Static Submarine Cable Systems for Hywind Scotland - World’s first Floating Offshore Wind Farm Maxime Toulotte, NEXANS

After successful supply and installation of the dynamic submarine export cable for the Hywind Demo project in Norway in 2009, Nexans was awarded in January 2016 for the supply of the export and infield submarine cable systems for the Hywind Scotland Pilot Park Project. The scope included the engineering and supply of the dynamic and static submarine cables, together with the associated accessories (electrical & mechanical accessories to achieve the dynamic configurations of the 9 risers). The project was initiated with a phase of detailed design engineering, where numerous complex simulations were executed, amongst other the dynamic analysis including fatigue, extreme and interference analysis, thermal analysis, etc. These analyses were performed in order to verify the shape of the dynamic configuration, the cable designs at various points including the landfall and the entrance to the floater, and to collect the specific data to achieve the detailed engineering of the dynamic accessories. The cable load-out was completed as planned in end of July 2017, followed by the cable installation performed by Subsea 7. The presentation will give an overview on the entire dynamic and static submarine cable system, including an insight on the design of the submarine cables and a description of all the accessories for this project, where numerous innovations were performed, such as the development of a weak link hang-off, pre-terminated pulling head, etc. Providing acceptance of Subsea 7, a presentation of the cable laying operation will also be displayed.

June 13th, 11:00-11:30, Track 3 @Troldtog Low-carbon emission field developments Torkild R. Reinertsen, REINERTSEN NEW ENERGY

The oil and gas industry has set out to develop low-carbon and cost-efficient production systems. In Norway, 25% of the CO2 -emission comes from the oil and gas production. CO2-emission from generation of energy to drive compressors and pumps often represents more than 90 % of the total emission from offshore production systems. REINERTSEN New Energy has developed a new concept for “Pre-combustion CCS” suitable for deployment on offshore platforms (< 100 MW). The clean and efficient production of hydrogen is made possible by compact reformer-technology and Palladium membrane separators. The hydrogen is to be used as fuel in new or modified turbines, or in future fuel-cells. Another concept, the EFHP (Emission Free Hydrogen Production), has been developed for large-scale and clean hydrogen production on-shore, with CCS. Clean and competitive power can be supplied from shore to platforms and subsea facilities. The building of a large demo-plant is being considered. The paper will discuss how the “life of field” energy consumption and economy for the oil- and gas fields can be optimized. The economics, including CO2 -void cost will be presented. The new hydrogen and CCS solutions require subsea pipelines, infrastructure, production-facilities, and subsea wells. The state of the art of storage and transportation of hydrogen, and the transportation, injection and storage of CO2 will be presented. The potential for new, Norwegian (subsea) gas projects to serve the new hydrogen markets will be discussed, together with the need to bring forward new technology and innovative solutions.

Subsea Data Transparency: Bridging the Operations team / OEM gap with data sharing John Murray, AKER SOLUTIONS Historically, subsea original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) lack visibility of product performance in the field. Customers share feedback only when failures occur, often with limited context recorded. In addition, OEMs are often not informed of component failures that do not impact production or trigger maintenance actions, due to the high redundancy level of subsea equipment. Today, advances in cloud computing technology enables effective sharing and use of data, providing the ability to rapidly develop analytics and extract value through visualization. This has renewed the focus on improving product reliability and production uptime through active condition monitoring. This joint paper will discuss a live subsea data sharing pilot between Aker Solutions and BP. It will present the view from both companies as to the challenges, current and future value. The objectives of the pilot are to improve responsiveness of Aker Solutions’ service team and move from reactive to proactive support of BP operations. Access to data will provide efficiency gains in diagnostic and support capability, closing out issues faster and reducing offshore trips and HSE exposure. Product performance and reliability data will be fed back into product design improvements that will increase future product reliability. Building a baseline of data and applying OEM domain knowledge with the latest techniques in machine learning aims to produce predictive and prescriptive maintenance in the long term. Active monitoring and understanding of product performance is essential to producing more reliable products, and understanding risk in new business models, such as uptime service contracts and equipment leasing.

Does big data mean better data? Nivedita Kumar, OCEANEERING We are in a world of exponentially growing data sets. ‘Big data’ is a key buzzword and a real trend reflecting the rapid growth of digitalization within the oil and gas industry. Big data by itself is just numbers. Predictive analytics is what makes it so powerful i.e. the ability to model the world, predict events and make data-driven decisions with accuracy. The increasingly widespread interest in using ‘big data’ sets to make informed decisions via predictive analytics leaves us with two important open questions. To what extent does big data help in answering questions to problems that actually matter? Does bigger data mean better predictive performance? In this talk, using a case study, we will numerically demonstrate that ‘little data’ goes a long way. Using predictive analytics we produce a truly optimized inspection program for a hydrocarbon piping system susceptible to internal corrosion. The results are based on inspection data from one of the biggest oil & gas companies in the world. We show that most of the inspection points can be inspected at longer intervals, reducing inspection scopes by ~ 40%. This implies that using less data we can achieve better focused results.

Easily accessible live sensor data as a tool for monitoring and maintenance services subsea Arve Værnes, COGNITE One of the most important areas where leveraging live instantly accessible data can provide clear short term and long term gains are Condition Monitoring (CM) and Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) of the subsea equipment. When leveraging instantly available times series data from IIOT sensors which are mapped to context data (sensor metadata, process diagrams, events, etc) one can track deterioration mechanisms of the subsea equipment remotely and plan interventions in advance in order to assure minimum downtime. A planned intervention may give a 1-day shutdown and allow for several planned concurrent activities to be executed, while an unplanned can give a 30-day shutdown. Any advance warning that equipment is about to fail thus results in shorter shutdown, prepared and planned activities, and less deferred production. However, in order to achieve this, a strong and scalable infrastructure with necessary APIs needs to be in place. A key for setting up advanced visualizations for live monitoring of the equipment is the ability to easily access contextualized data using such APIs. The presentation will focus on the technological foundation within a data platform that provides scalable access to sensor and all related data and how live data and real-time visualizations, as well as ML algorithms, are leveraged to both optimize operations and optimize maintenance of subsea equipment.

Safety 4.0 - Demonstrating safety of novel subsea technologies Tore Myhrvold, DNV GL Subsea is important for Norway and new concepts emerge due to need for cost reductions. Innovations are encouraged by regulations, but existing standards and guidelines may not provide relevant support for demonstrating safety of such new concepts. This restricts the envelope of solutions and may impose excessive costs. Examples are all-electric and digital technologies that challenge existing safety philosophies, but also provides new opportunities for risk management. The objective of the Safety 4.0 project is to enable faster demonstration of safety for novel subsea solutions. This will be done by developing a new safety demonstration framework, which is: modular, facilitating reuse of safety arguments, risk based, and addressing safety from a systemic and life cycle perspective. The framework is developed based on relevant use cases together with industry partners: i) All-electric safety systems, ii) Integration of process control and safety, and iii) Efficient use of sensors and data analytics. The initial phase of the project identified a set of gaps, challenges, and opportunities. The focus is currently on the scope of regulatory requirements and the applicability of existing safety philosophies, such as requirements to fail-safe and segregation / independence, and functional hazard analysis. Safety 4.0 is an industry innovation project partially financed by the Norwegian Research Council (PETROMAKS2), with a total budget of 19 million NOK, running from 2018-2021 (3.5 years). The project involves 8 industry partners and two universities, funding a PhD and a post doc. The Petroleum Safety Authority Norway participates as an observer.

Case Study on Opex Savings Using All-Electric Technology Ana Serrentino, ONESUBSEA All-electric subsea production systems have been around since the late nineties. Using a rigid product development and qualification program, various technologies have been already developed, installed, and deployed on subsea projects. This technology brings many advantages to the industry by enabling long tie-backs, eliminating hydraulics from the seabed, mitigating HSE risk through zero discharge, and saving costs. Operational advantages include realtime controls and more data for condition monitoring. In the current market, evaluating technologies for projects comes down to cost. All-electric systems offer savings not only in capex but opex, which is, more often than not, overlooked. Opex advantages include the removal of hydraulics and the reduced maintenance required during the life of the field. Furthermore, the additional data for health and condition monitoring enables the system to have smarter maintenance programs in place. Finally, because of the built-in redundancy of the all-electric system, any required intervention for electrical purposes can potentially wait for a planned intervention instead. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the cost savings that all-electric systems bring to subsea operations, with a greater focus on the overshadowed opex. The intent is to showcase the cost impacts beyond capex as well as how these systems can impact projects throughout the life of the field.

June 13th, 13:30-14:00, Track 3 @Troldtog WIN WIN – oil & gas joining forces with offshore wind Marte Aaberg Midtsun, DNV GL

The world’s energy industry is currently in a time of transition, endeavoring to supply the world with affordable, clean and reliable energy to meet the increasing demand. DNV GL proposed in 2014 the WIN WIN (WINd powered Water Injection) concept, combining the development of floating wind turbine technology with the oil industry’s need for maximizing oil recovery and reducing costs and emissions. The concept is a fully stand-alone system, comprising a floating wind turbine supplying power to a water injection process.

Participants from the industry have between 2015 and 2018 worked together in two phases of a DNV GL-led Joint Industry Project (JIP) to develop the WIN WIN concept. Vår Energi and ExxonMobil were partners in the second phase of the JIP, with the Norwegian Research Council as additional sponsor. The concept consists of proven components subjected to a new application. The electrical system and controls represents a critical subsystem. Advanced simulations and testing of this subsystem have successfully been performed in DNV GL’s Power Laboratories. Based on the results, the concept has increased its TRL and is ready for prototype validation. A WIN WIN type system could be developed with multiple configurations, designs and applications. Such applications include subsea or topside applications. It could be implemented in deep or shallow water, for greenfield developments or related to field lifetime extensions. This presentation aims to share some of the learnings from the WIN WIN JIP, representing the first commercially competitive step to integrate wind technology with oil & gas operations.

Experimental and Simulation Qualification of an Electro-Hydrostatic Subsea Valve Actuator João Pedro Duarte da Silva, Amadeu Placido Neto, FEDERAL UNIVERSITY OF SANTA CATARINA (UFSC), Florianópolis, Brazil 1. Objectives In this work, the performance of a novel electro-hydrostatic subsea valve actuator prototype – particularly devised to operate with 2 inches gauge gate valves at depths of up to 3.000 meters – is evaluated by simulation and validated experimentally. Such actuator – currently under development – is designed to operate under the harsh working conditions present in the subsea environment, namely the high external pressure and variable well conditions. Furthermore, additional design targets such as power consumption minimization shall be validated. 2. Methods In order to reproduce the nominal opening/closing dynamics of a gate valve under operation conditions, the valve/actuator system has been modelled mathematically and numerically simulated. A test apparatus comprised of a hydraulic load cylinder, a compact hydraulic power unit, a servo-valve and an electronic control module has been devised. The pressure differential in the load cylinder is then controlled as a function of the actuator position according to the valve behaviour. Additionally, the tests are carried out in a container with controlled temperature. 3. Results The performance of the system in terms of functionality and efficiency is assessed and demonstrated under the influence of different ranges of temperatures, operation loads and power supply constraints. The outputs of this research are simultaneously the proof-of-concept of the actuator for subsea control systems and the validation of its mathematical models, which allows for further analysis of the system’s behaviour.

June 13th, 08:50-09:10, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Redesigning Subsea Production System (SPS) for Efficient Utilization of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) Natalie Melchior, Maria Sognnes , Hannah Clark and Derrick Hansen, WESTERN NORWAY UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES, Bergen, Norway

Asset integrity management of subsea equipment in Norwegian Continental Shelf poses considerable problems due to the depth and harshness of North Sea. Inspection and maintenance activities in these subsea conditions raise concerns regarding safety of personnel and economics of current practices. Recent advances in the development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVS) offer attractive options for utilization of these vehicles for carrying out tasks from safe working environment and at cheaper rates. In a collaborative project, HVL and Equinor are looking at possibilities for an efficient combination of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs) to one underwater drone and a compatible Subsea Production System (SPS) for reliable and efficient inspection and maintenance purposes. This paper first explores the applications of ROVs for inspection and maintenance of existing SPS systems. Based on this study, the paper proposes a set of future drone designs with compatible templates for better access and easier maintenance operations. Finally, the paper looks into applications of heterogeneous sensor solutions to make the AUVs more suitable for the tasks.

June 13th, 09:10-09:30, Track 1 @Peer Gynt Analysis of Sand Erosion on Subsea Chokes Lise Margrethe Rinde, UNIVERSITY OF BERGEN, Norway

Choke valves in pipelines are ubiquitous for many subsea engineering processes. Conveyance of particles in a flow through choke valves causes erosive wear of the structure material. During well clean-up, drilling debris and fluids come out of the formation causing higher erosion rates than under normal production. Some of this debris does not come up during clean-up operation and could come up during normal production. Erosion is caused by collisions of solid particles along the pipeline structure and removes surface material. For most oil and gas fields, sand from reservoir formation is an inevitable byproduct. Therefore it is crucial to understand the behavior of sand particles during production. Proper estimation of erosion rate contributes a key to keep the production financially efficient. This contribution shows results of a CFD analysis of the behavior of erosion processes in a choke valve. STAR-CCM+ is the software used to simulate turbulent real gas with sand particles. The injection rate was 50 particles per second was injected into the fluid domain of more than 3 million cells. The effect of different particle size and erosion models was considered. By increasing the particle size 160%, the erosion rate increased 455%, for certain particle sizes. Recommendations and problems with sand production are discussed, providing new information of erosion on chokes in choke valves.

UTF THANKS ALL PARTNERS FOR THEIR SUPPORT IN 2019! The Underwater Technology Foundation (UTF) is a non-commercial entity established in 1980 when several large subsea-related companies joined forces to arrange the Underwater Technology Conference in Bergen. The foundationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to promote increased knowledge of the subsea sector. This is achieved by hosting the conference and giving contributions to research and training at university level. UTF offers a grant available to applicants in need of financial support for a subsea related research or training project. The foundation would like to see more applicants for the grant, and encourages anyone with a relevant project to apply.
