WelcomeWelcomeYour partner in productive, cost effectiveoperations and projectsMartin GradyABB Oil, Gas and ChemicalsGeneral Manager, UK.Dear colleague,On behalf of ABB, I would like to welcome you to Offshore Europe 2015. For ABB this showprovides the perfect platform to share with you the depth and breadth of the products,systems and services that we bring to the oil and gas industry.Offshore Europe comes at a very challenging time for the industry. Across our exhibition stand,and in this magazine, we address many of the challenges that the industry is facing today,such as: reducing costs in a sustainable way; increasing production efficiency; managing latelife operations and decommissioning; sustaining improvements in safety performance.Despite the challenging market conditions the industry still needs to innovate and introducenew technologies. We are also highlighting some of these latest developments on our standsuch as: subsea technology and systems and integrated operations.When I reflect on what has happened during the two years since the last Offshore Europeit truly has been a ‘game of two halves’! September 2013 was at the height of the newinvestment peak in the basin and ABB was actively involved delivering systems to some ofthe largest new assets in the UKCS; ConocoPhillips Jasmine and Total West Franklin Phase2. During this time we also opened the ABB learning centre in Aberdeen. The facility providesan environment for customer workshops, it’s a place to explore new technologies and to learnfrom and collaborate with ABB’s engineers.Times have changed considerably since 2013 and we have changed to reflect the currentpressures resulting from a lower oil price. As the industry aims to drive down costs we haveworked even harder to ensure that all of our offerings are delivered as efficiently and costeffectively as possible. Just as importantly we have introduced new offerings to support thedrive for cost reduction and production efficiency improvement, that you can read about onpage 11.With some 145,000 employees in over 100 countries, our people are the key to our successand you can meet some of them at Offshore Europe. Each day we are hosting a series oftechnical talks, where our experts discuss hot topics such as cost reduction, flow assuranceand decommissioning. The team are available for one-to-one discussions too, so please feelfree to join us at any time.I hope that a visit to our stand at this year’s show will demonstrate how we can help deliversafe, productive and cost effective operations and projects.Improving productionefficiencyReducing costsSupporting late lifeoperation anddecommissioningOther highlights2 ABB@Offshore Europe ABB stand 3E 160www.abb.co.uk/offshore-europe

Feature articlesImproving the production efficiencyof the UKCSSignificantly improving productionefficiency on the majority of the UKCS’sassets has become a key priority foroperators over recent years and thecurrent oil price has made this moreurgent.The Oil & Gas UK production efficiency task force has setthe objective of getting production efficiency up to 80% bynext year. Their analysis of the key contributors to productionlosses is summarised in the chart below:48%12%6%9%ABB has implemented solutions for many operators tohelp improve production efficiency in a number of the keycategories of loss. This article offers some suggestions forimproving production efficiency.5%Equipment reliability (failures and unplanned shutdowns)This is the largest cause of lost production and theimprovement actions are very varied, from improvedmaintenance practices and technician watch keeping roundsto changing control schemes and modifying equipmentto compensate for changing operating conditions. Theequipment responsible for the largest losses, within thiscategory, is compressors and in our experience a tenfoldreduction in failure / shutdown frequency can be achievedthrough a series of improvements that are straight forward,quick and low cost to implement.20%WellworkReservoir LossesAnnual ShutdownsPlantSource: Oil and Gas UK Production Efficiency Task Force.Plant Equipment Failure andUnplanned ShutdownsExportFlow assuranceProper handling of flow assurance issues is a prerequisite foroptimised production and reduced process variations. Welland pipeline monitoring is of vital importance, especially inpreventing blockages due to hydrate formation. Some of theapplications ABB have implemented in this area include: slugmanagement, active flowline control, well monitoring, sanderosion and gas lifts.Remote or integrated operationsOne example of the benefits of remote operations comesfrom ABB’s long term support of Shell’s Draugen and OrmenLange assets that started in 2007. Remote monitoring andintegrated operations is a key element of the ABB concept,giving authorized ABB personnel remote access to the safetyand automation systems from several remote monitoring andoperations rooms at ABB locations in Norway. This enablesABB to safely implement changes, troubleshoot, providesupport and carry out health checks remotely. An advancedcontrol solution for automatic choke control was implemented,reducing well start uptime by 75%.by Andy Hollins and Sverre Oliver Halvorsrød, ABB.“Ever since the start up phase in 2007,uptime at Ormen Lange has been morethan 99 percent for most months of theyear. Such high availability is unusualfor a plant as large and complex as this.We’ve invested significant resources incontinuously fine-tuning the plant, whichhas benefitted us enormously. Ourexperience from Ormen Lange tells usthat it pays to invest in optimization”Reidar Haugsgjerd, Process Control Engineer, Norske ShellTurnaroundsReducing the frequency of TARs and their duration tacklesone of the biggest causes of lost production. Many TARS arecompleted annually, the frequency driven by fixed equipmentinspection and testing intervals. There are many ways toincrease inspection and testing intervals including; Noninvasiveinspection of pressure vessels, extending trip testintervals, extending relief valve test intervals and other riskbased maintenance approaches. These approaches allowTAR intervals to be extended and workscopes to be reduced,managing the TAR costs and reducing the chances of eventsoverrunning.6 ABB@Offshore Europe ABB stand 3E 160www.abb.co.uk/offshore-europe

ABB’s 100 day challengeCost reduction in the UKCSFeature articlesThe UKCS needs to reduce its coststo remain competitive and maximiseeconomic recovery.ABB’s challenge for operators is to reduce costs whilemaintaining (or improving) safety and production efficiency -and starting to see benefits within 100 days. Low oil pricesmean that reducing operating and lift costs is a clear priorityfor UKCS operators.Identifying and eliminating low value engineering activities isthe least painful approach to cost saving. When carried outwell the cost savings are accompanied by sustainable safetyand integrity, improved production efficiency / uptime andorganisational focus on key activities. The benefits are alsothere to be had year on year.The sort of low value activities that can be stopped include:−−Maintaining redundant equipment−−Carrying out maintenance, inspection or testing ofequipment too frequently−−Carrying out maintenance or inspection during TARs thatcould be done on-lineABB’s approachABB’s approach to the 100 day challenge is part of ourbroader approach to help boost production efficiency in theUKCS.3 steps to tackle the 100 day challenge.Step 1RapidassessmentStep 2Planning anddevelopmentStep 3ImplementationSome typical areas that can provide rapid benefits include:−−−−−−−−−−Managing redundant equipment - full decommissioningof redundant systems to ensure they remain safe, don’tinterrupt production and don’t get maintainedNon-invasive inspection - which items can be safelyinspected on line to reduce costs and the workload inTARs.

Feature articlesDecommissioningHelping plan and support late lifeoperation and the journey to assetdisposal.With over 50% of offshore installations in the North Seaoperating beyond their design life, planning for their eventualend of service and decommissioning is a matter of urgency.Many of these structures will have been operating for almost40 years and over the next couple of decades over 90% ofthem will need to be completely removed from their sites andbrought onshore for re-use, recycling or disposal. Operatorshave a responsibility to dispose of these assets safely andwith no adverse effects to the environment. But before thisdecommissioning phase is reached operators must beginto prepare for Cessation of Production (CoP). This mayinvolve running assets at low rates until their end of life andcontinuing to maintain structures once CoP occurs.ABB has a broad experience of supporting decommissioningacross its lifecycle; from managing redundant systems duringnormal operations, through late life operations, preparing fordecommissioning to final disposal onshore.Some of the services we provide include:During normal operations and in planning for CoP−−Developing and maintaining live asset life plans andoptimising maintenance strategies as CoP approaches−−While assets will not be producing beyond CoP, they willoften still have a life of five years or more and must remainfit for purpose during this period−−−−−−−−−−Managing redundant equipment / systems - reducingmaintenance and inspection costs, reducing weighton platforms, preserving equipment needed for thedecommissioning process or resale / preservationDecommissioning strategy - optioneering and selecting theoptimum removal method (e.g. piece small vs single lift),maximising asset value, contract strategy etc.Planning for CoP - identifying the systems needed postCoP, planning to maintain them, preservation actionsPreparing for decommissioning - completing risk studies,lifting studies, environmental and safety studies, budgetingand schedules, hazardous inventories, work methods etc.Engineering design - modifications required fordecommissioning, such as structural strengthening,isolations, life support systems etc.Post CoP - during decommissioning and removal−−Project management - progressing the decommissioningand removal stage to schedule and budget.

Making process safety sustainablein the current climateFeature articlesProcess safety is a given for anyoperator, regardless of the economicclimate.To ensure that major accident hazards are being effectivelymanaged, operators need to be able to answer yes to threekey questions:−−Do we understand what can go wrong?−−Do we know what systems we have to prevent thishappening?−−Do we have information to assure us these systems areworking effectively?To answer these questions positively operators require goodrisk identification and assessment processes, comprehensiverisk controls meeting relevant good practice and reliablemonitoring of these controls.All the elements of successful Process Safety Management(PSM) must fit into an overall framework that providesconsistency and many rely on a good understanding of thekey major accident scenarios and their controls.In the current climate it is important not to becomecomplacent about process safety hazards, but operators needto be as efficient as possible in carrying out their duties. Thiscan be aided by making sure information, studies and dataare generated and maintained in such a way that makes themaccessible for all possible uses.by Graeme Ellis, ABB.Subsea20,000 leagues under the sea - the 2020 versionJules Verne wrote his famous book in1870, about the same time that theworld’s first commercial oil well wasdrilled in Pennsylvania, USA.There is no doubt that Jules Verne was fascinated by modernscience. In several areas, he was far ahead of his time. Manyof his visions and innovations have since become realitywith surprising precision. He sent people to the moon anddesigned propeller-driven airships.When the Frenchman had to find an energy source for thepropulsion system of the submarine Nautilus in ‘Twentythousand leagues under the sea’, he chose electricity.Today, there are already projects on the seabed that requiresignificant electrical power, such as the seawater pumps onthe ‘Tyrihans’ field. Soon subsea compressors at ‘Asgard’and ‘Gullfaks’ will get a power supply equivalent to theconsumption of some 10,000 households.But it does not stop there. ABB is already working with Statoilto help realise their vision of complete oil and gas producingfacilities on the seabed. The challenge is that pumps,compressors and separation systems require large amountsof electricity, totalling perhaps as much as a city the size ofStavanger in Norway. The power must also be controlled sothat the electrical motors on the seabed operate at optimalenergy efficiency.Subsea power supply can help make smaller fields viable,increase recovery rate from existing fields and to producefrom fields where surface structures are not an option. ABBcontributes by developing systems for energy transmissionover long distances and rugged products for depths up to3000 meters.Could a complete subsea factory be a reality by 2020 - thesame year as ‘Twenty thousand leagues under the sea’celebrates its 150th anniversary?by Leiv Helge Klævold, ABB.www.abb.co.uk/offshore-europeABB stand 3E 160ABB@Offshore Europe13
