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.

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.
