1.5          Project Overview


The Additional Dry Gas Fields Project (ADGF) is located in Block ‘B’ of the Indonesian sector of the West Natuna Sea, approximately 420 kilometers east of Malaysia.  Conoco Indonesia Inc. Limited (CIIL), in conjunction with a partnering consortium (PSG Group), is currently completing the West Natuna Transportation System (WNTS) and the West Natuna Sea Gas Development (WNSGD). 
 
CIIL plans to produce and supply sales quality gas from several fields in Block ‘B’ to the WNTS and to supply gas to the Duyong Central Processing Platform (CPP) which is operated by Petronas Carigali, Malaysia.  These Block B fields include the Belida, Tembang and Buntal, which are currently being developed by CIIL, and the new fields associated with the ADGF Project.   All gas gathering, processing and export will be carried out via a Movable Offshore (gas) Production Unit (MOgPU) facility.

CIIL’s ADGF Project comprises a gas gathering Infield Subsea System component and a gas Export Pipeline System for supply of gas to the Duyong CPP.  The development of the Infield Subsea System includes collection and processing of gas from two satellite fields, Keong and Kijing, with the option to develop additional fields at a later date.  These fields, and others, will be tied back to the MOgPU, which will process the gas before exporting to the Duyong facility.  The new Infield Subsea System facilities will be controlled via a multiplexed electro-hydraulic umbilical from the MOgPU. The subsea control system will comprise a number of umbilicals, subsea distribution components, control modules, and other topsides and subsea control system components. Subsea trees, manifold structures, valves, piping and flowlines will be incorporated into the Infield System.



Block ‘B’ of the West Natuna Development contains several gas fields.  The ADGF will produce gas from subsea wells at Keong and Kijing fields for processing at the MOgPU.  



The Infield System shall include subsea flowlines, manifolds, tie-ins, umbilicals and subsea well control systems.   The tie-back system utilises the following:
A new 14” flowline shall run from the Hang Tuah to Keong subsea manifold (MK1).  One subsea gas well (K1) is an existing vertical TA exploration well and shall be tied back to the Keong subsea manifold (MK1) via a new 8” ~250m long flowline.  Two new horizontal wells in the Keong locality (K2 and K3) will be drilled and completed in the third quarter of 2001.  These wells (K2 and K3) will be located adjacent to the MK1 manifold and tied back using 8” ~20m rigid spool piece jumpers.  A new 12” flowline shall then run from MK1 to the Kijing subsea manifold (MJ1) for tie-in of the Kijing wells.
The new subsea manifold MK1 shall have capability to tie-in the three Keong wells, as well as a 10” tie-in for tying in the Siput Field either initially, or at a later date.  Connection for temporary pigging facilities is included on the Siput tie-in, the K1 step-out well flowline, as well as the tie-in for the flowline back to the Hang Tuah.  Tie-in of the Kijing Field shall utilize the temporary pigging connection for the flowline back to the Hang Tuah.
The Keong and Kijing subsea wells shall be controlled from an existing electro-hydraulic (EH) control system centralized at the Hang Tuah via a new EH umbilical which shall be pulled in an existing J-tube located on leg 4 of the Hang Tuah. The pigtails shall then be connected to the topside systems at a new Topside Umbilical termination Unit (TUTU). The subsea end of the umbilical shall be terminated by an Umbilical Termination Unit (UTA) located near the MK1 manifold.  Electric and hydraulic jumpers shall be installed between the UTA and the SCM mounted on each tree.  The circuits shall be continued onward to the Kijing Field via jumpers through a weak link and an Umbilical Termination Unit (UTA) adjacent to the Kijing manifold. Electric, chemical and hydraulic jumpers shall connect the UTA and the SCM’s on the Xmas trees. Provision shall be made on the UTA for the future tie in of the Malong field.
A new three well subsea manifold shall be located at the Kijing Field.  The MJ1 subsea manifold shall be located adjacent to the Kijing J3 well.  The manifold shall include provision for later tie-in via a 3.0 km flowline for the second Kijing J2 well.  Well 1 in the Kijing Field will not be tied in. Provision is also included on the MJ1 manifold for later tie-in of the Malong Field, and tie-in of a subsea well from an undefined field.

The following sections provide details of the umbilical component requirements, it should be noted that there is no requirement for J-Tube seals.

4.5.1      Hydraulic Hoses or Tubes

If a Subvendor is required for hose/tube manufacture, the Subvendor shall be proposed by the VENDOR for BUYER review and approval.  The hoses/tubes shall be specially made for this contract after the placement of the order.

In the case of hoses, the hose reinforcement shall be applied in such a way as to minimise torsional forces generated during the hose pressurisation.  No hose joints shall be permitted with the umbilical length. 

During manufacture and testing of the hoses/tubes, the VENDOR shall take every precaution to ensure that no contamination enters the hoses.  During all stages, including storage and transportation, the hoses /tubes shall be suitably capped-off.  The umbilical lines shall be flushed to NAS 1638 Class 6 or as defined by the subsea controls vendor.

All hose couplings shall be manufactured from corrosion resistant materials compatible with the end terminations and connectors supplied by the Control System vendor, and be suitable for termination in the field using standard tools or specialised equipment provided by VENDOR.  The couplings shall not reduce the hose bore by more than 30%.

Test Pressure:
1.6          x Working pressure

Proof Pressure:
2              2 x Working pressure

Burst Pressure:              

4 x Working pressure (minimum)
Collapse Resistance:
As a gas production system there is the remote chance of pipeline pressures being vented to ambient, this could result in the chemical lines seeing a differential pressure of 80m of seawater. Hoses/tubes are to be suitable for operation in this upset condition.
Volumetric Expansion (hoses):
VENDOR to determine the volumetric expansion versus pressure in graphical form up to 1.5 x maximum working pressure.  The VENDOR shall confirm this information by practical measurement on completion of umbilical manufacture.
Hose/tube marking:
Each hose/tube outer sheath/surface shall be uniquely numbered e.g. Line 1, 2, 3 ... etc. to aid termination and field repairs.  Each hose/tube shall also be similarly marked with Manufacturers batch number, maximum working pressure, size and type.  Marking shall be printed at not more than 1 metre intervals along the full length of the hose/tube.  Marking can be applied at any stage up to, but preceding, the hydraulic testing.

4.5.2      Electric Cables

                                All the electric cables shall be supplied by the same manufacturer.

The electrical insulated conductors shall be designed to be capable of operating when completely flooded with seawater.  The VENDOR shall demonstrate that the proposed electrical elements will meet this requirement over the operational life of the umbilical.

No conductor or cable joints shall be permitted within the umbilical length. 

The manufacturer of the electric cable shall include some method or material to reduce the level of friction between each cable and between each core and the surrounding material.  The object of incorporating some form or type of lubrication is to reduce the internal coefficient of friction and allow the individual cores to move or slide relative to each other.

The manufacturer of either the electric cables or of the umbilical shall provide all reasonable means of protecting the electric cables from any external compressive forces encountered during the manufacture, storage/loading, installation and operation of the umbilical.  The VENDOR shall also provide all reasonable means of protecting the electric cables from any internal source of compressive force encountered during the same processes, including those caused by the expansion of any pressurised hoses.

The insulated conductors shall be laid up in such a manner as to give a circular cross section, to form a self-contained complete electric cable.  The electric cable shall in turn be laid up with other electric cables, with or without hoses, to give an overall circular cross section.

Marking:  The conductors shall each be identified by unique sequential number marking conforming to BS5467, or alternatively by unique colour coding.  The marking shall be such as not to degrade the quality of the insulation, but shall be a permanent marking that can be read at any point along the total length of the cores.
