Project Client RiserTec ScopeAKPO SCR Bid Engineering HMC , Leiden Detailed analysis and system engineering supporting AKPO bid engineering. Scope

included production of SCR Design Methodology Document, initial sizing for all in-field flowline and risers, detailed fatigue assessments for critical lines, strength d i d li i t ti tdesign, and preliminary cost estimates.

Strake VIV Hydrodynamic Testing BP, Sunbury Planning and management of free and forced vibration VIV tests at Oceanic, Newfoundland. The test program included commercial CRP strakes with 5D and 16D pitch as well as 17.5D strakes from BP Thunder Horse Project. Involved with all aspects of the program from initial planning through to supervision of tests and p p g p g g pextracting of hydrodynamic added mass and lift coefficients as required for input to VIV design programs.

Snorre Tie-back Riser FEED Study RTI Energy Systems, Houston

Detailed analysis and design of future tie-back risers to be installed on the Snorre TLP for additional production, gas injection and water injection service. Due to existing topside restrictions, available tensions budgets were limited requiring low tension ratio designs to be investigated in detail. Performed detailed directional g gfatigue assessement and associated profile designs for both single-piece and double-piece lower stress joints. Produced all system and component drawings with associated weight estimates. Also undertook additional FEED extension study investigating several alternative riser dimensions as requested by Statoil.

Heidrun Workover Riser Slim-Line Drilling Operations

Statoil, Norway Performed initial conceptual and final detailed engineering for slim-line drilling operations on existing Heidrun TLP workover riser system. The work considered both single and dual completion risers under through tubing drilling operations. As a consequence the planned operation is perfromed with the surface wellhead and tree in place requiring the use of a reduced length workover spool up to the drilling riserin place requiring the use of a reduced length workover spool up to the drilling riser tensioner system. To reduce moments in the system, several stack-up configurations, including some with one or more flex-joints, were investigated. Detailed fatigue and strength assessments were then undertakena for the prefered arrangement. A detailed contact force study was also completed and the results used to assess expected wear rates in critical components. Also interfaced with RTI Energy Systems in Houston who were presponsible for component manufacture andEnergy Systems in Houston who were presponsible for component manufacture and procurement.

Shear7 Calibration BP, Sunbury Calibration of Shear7 against Norwegian Deepwater Program (NDP) High Mode Strake VIV Tests. The scope included review of NDP test arrangement and generation of models to extract natural frequencies and associated mode shapes. A program was then generated to extract all measured results from the Marintek d t b d t ti ll i t d t il d Sh 7 l l ti T iddatabase and automatically compare against detailed Shear7 calculations. To aid the comparisons, several bias and index functions were defined. A detailed methodology for undertaking the calibration was also developed and used to perform the initial work. It was noted that the measured results indicated several features that shear7 in its current form is unable to account for in detail. A verification study was also performed for the shear7 program using and independent in-house calculation. Finally several sets of Shear7 design parameters for project use under various strake cover conditions were derived for input in BP VIV Guidelines..

Geoprober Drilling Riser System Design Geoprober The Geopropber system enables "slim" deepwater exploration and appraisal wells to Aberdeen be drilled for significantly less money than would be the case using a "conventional"

approach - the cost savings will amount to 50% or more. Typically a 4 3/4" hole will be drilled through the reservoir. RiserTec has provided riser system design and analysis for Geoprober to prove feasibility including the tensioner and stress joint design for different operating climates around the world.
