Description

Gas Condensate field Development offshore Australia; permit area WA-285-P is located in the Browse Basin approximately 440 km north of Broome and 800 km south-west of Darwin. Drilling Campaigns in 2000 and 2003 resulted in a significant hydrocarbon gas and condensate discovery known as the "Ichthys Field". The flexible riser system for the Ichthys development is planned consist of multiple dynamic risers and umbilicals (approximately 30) ranging in size from 4in MEG / Service lines up to 16in Gas Export risers, with 12in production lines at pressure and temperature (380 barg, 105oC), situated in 260m of water depth, attached to a Semi Submersible.

flexlife are assisting both Inpex Browse and Intec/Granherne in aspects of the engineering at pre-FEED stage:

Inpex Browse

  • Production of a Packaging and Installation Assessment.
    • This assessment is a review of preliminary pipe designs and dynamic riser systems for risks and suitability for packaging, transportation, and installation.

Intec/Granherne

  • Third party review of Intec / Granherne riser system design analysis.
  • Execution of Steep Wave riser configuration dynamic analysis and riser system fatigue analysis.

Technology

We are developing products for remaining service life assessment. Our products will allow for annulus condition to be assessed in minutes rather than hours.

We will also be able to offer reliable real time riser monitoring systems. They will be simple and feed a decision matrix allowing the operator to know what to do and when immediately.

We use OrcaFlex for the system design of riser systems and associated ancillary equipment as well as dynamic installation analysis, providing in our opinion the best and most flexible software solution to our analysis requirements.
