2.2 Operating in the ice and during cold weather 64 Solutions commentary The solutions in this area cover the study, design, construction and operation of ice cold weather drilling and production infrastructure. Being able to understand and predict the weather and the ice dynamics is the key to effective facility design and construction, as well as year-round operations. The most up-todate modelling packages need to be adapted – by R&D institutes in Kazakhstan – to deliver the required advanced capabilities. Historical weather databases should provide the initial calibration for the modeling; however, more extensive advanced sensing will be required. A range of sensors will be needed from fiber optic distributed strain sensors on facilities through to differential global position system (DGPS) networks. Significant computing power will be required to support the integration of diverse measurements made at different scales. Understanding the forces related to ice and weather is important in designing all kinds of structures and equipment. Currently, heavy pipe needs to be extensively armoured and/ or deeply buried to avoid damage due to ice scouring. Huge time and cost savings could be realized if the current requirements were to be relaxed based on improved understanding or alternative avoidance mechanisms. Ice-induced movement of jack-up rigs can cause well casing shear and loss of containment. R&D is required to improve the cost effectiveness and operating envelope for drilling and well interventions in Caspian winter operations. Presently, offshore steel/concrete structures are designed to protect the production facilities from ice encroachment. Alternatively, sacrificial zones are created where ice simply piles before reaching critical equipment. Global best practices in this area should be quickly adopted in Kazakhstan. Longer term, R&D is required to provide more cost effective, movable (modular) ice protection capabilities. Modular design is considered a major component in addressing year round operations, maximising facility uptime and minimising workforce exposure. The solutions range from small-scale plug-and-play components (such as instrument packages that can be quickly replaced when they fail) to large-scale fabricated items (such as a compressor modules). Kazakh companies and academia will need to further develop such technologies. A Caspian manufacturing and logistics location needs to be selected and developed to realize the ultimate objective of delivering cost effective ice/cold climate equipment and supporting year round operations. The associated workforce needs to be grown to the required numbers and skill levels by 2020. Kazakhstan Upstream oil & gas technology and R&D roadmap
