Numerical Simulation on Wet Insulation of Subsea Manifold Based on Flow Assurance LIU Fei-long, JU Peng-peng, NI Hao 2018, 5 (2):  95-99.  DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2018.02.04 Abstract ( 327 )   PDF (3351KB) ( 70 )   With the development of deep water oil and gas fields, subsea production system (SPS) has played an important role. Subsea process facility is in cold seawater environment. When the SPS is shut down, the oil in subsea manifold is prone to wax or solidify due to the cooling effect of the seawater. The method of wet insulation is adopted to achieve flow assurance of subsea manifold. During the cooldown time, the temperature of fluid shall be higher than the wax precipitation point and condensation point. Thermal analysis of subsea manifold is carried out for both steady state case and transient state case using OLGA software, and the thickness of wet insulating layer is figured out for the subsea manifold.

Deep understanding and reasonable application of the transmission technology is important to ensure the quality of long distance operating and monitoring system of subsea control system. Based on the basic configuration of subsea control system, we analyze the mechanism of long distance power line communication and the influencing factors of communication attenuation. Combined with a subsea gas field project in the South China Sea, the calculation of communication loop maximum attenuation value, the communication effectiveness analysis and the calculation of umbilical key electrical parameters requirement are carried out.

Simulation and Analysis of Low-Pressure Charging and Gate Valve Operation of Deepwater Subsea Hydraulic System Based on SimulationX ZHANG Peng-fei 2018, 5 (2):  113-120.  DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2018.02.07 Abstract ( 227 )   PDF (3852KB) ( 194 )   For a gas field project in the South China Sea, simulation and analysis are carried out for the low-pressure charging of the subsea hydraulic system through the comparison of charging time for umbilicals with different sizes, so as to determine the appropriate umbilical size. At the same time, selecting different sizes for the accumulator of the subsea control module (SCM), simulating the opening and closing processes of the 5-1/8 inch gate valve of Christmas tree, we can get the operation duration, the pressure differential of SCM, and the pressure change of gate valve actuator. Comparing the simulation results with the design standard, one can get useful guide for the selection of umbilical size and accumulator capacity, and even helpful information for ensuring the safety and reliability of the subsea hydraulic system in actual operations.

Influence of Soil Liquefaction and Strength Degradation to Subsea Production System Foundation Under Seismically Induced Cyclic Shear Stress YIN Han-jun, GU Yong-wei 2018, 5 (2):  125-128.  DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2018.02.09 Abstract ( 408 )   PDF (2167KB) ( 310 )   With the subsea production system applied more and more widely in China deepwater oil and gas fields, various kinds of extreme conditions are analyzed and applied in the subsea design. Subsea production system design in China is still in the initial stage. When seismic influence is analyzed and designed, equivalent loads are imposed merely for calculating the bearing capacity and safety, which cannot analyze the impact of seismic load to soil foundation. Aiming at this problem, the soil liquefaction and the settlement induced by strength degradation under seismically induced cyclic shear stress are analyzed. From the calculation result of a subsea project, it can be seen that analysis on soil liquefaction and strength degradation has important significance. Related Articles | Metrics

Using the finite element analysis software ANSYS, we establish the finite element model of PLET passing through the stinger and carry out calculations and analyses for different positions of the stinger. It is found that the maximum strain appears near the location of the connection between PLET and pipeline. This will provide basis for the capability analysis of S-lay PLET passing through the stinger. Related Articles | Metrics

Summary for Corrosion Control Design of Deepwater Subsea Production Facilities QIAN Si-cheng 2018, 5 (2):  133-137.  DOI: 10.12087/oeet.2095-7297.2018.02.11 Abstract ( 286 )   PDF (3279KB) ( 139 )   In comparison with the shallow water environment, the temperature of deep water is much lower, and the dissolved oxygen content, salinity, flow velocity, etc., are rather different. The subsea production facilities are much more complex due to the hinge/locking mechanism, actuator, guide mechanism, piping and valve, etc. Meanwhile, they are difficult to maintain and expensive. The corrosion control design of deepwater subsea production facilities is different from those of shallow water facilities and jackets. We summarize the main design factors and parameters of deepwater corrosion control based on international standards, literatures and subsea production facility characteristics. The results can be used as a reference for deepwater corrosion control design. Related Articles | Metrics
