Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a flow base system for subsea wells.
  • US 5 025 865 A discloses a subsea oil production system.
  • US 5 192 167 A discloses a subsea production system.
  • US 3 777 812 A discloses a subsea production system.
  • the infrastructure of subsea hydrocarbon production fields typically comprises rigid and flexible piping and manifolds to collect production fluid from subsea wells.
  • Subsea wells can be grouped in template solution, or spread out as standalone satellite wells regularly/irregularly distributed over the field. If wells can be grouped closely together, templates can be used for controlling the spacing between the wells.
  • template wells subsea wells which are closely grouped and guided in a template will be named template wells.
  • a template is a structure which is placed on the seabed to provide guidance and support for other equipment such as drilling and completion equipment, wellheads, Christmas trees (XT), manifolds and pipeline connection equipment.
  • equipment such as drilling and completion equipment, wellheads, Christmas trees (XT), manifolds and pipeline connection equipment.
  • a production well template is a welded structure that supports manifold piping and valves for production fluid from wells which are grouped together at a single seabed location.
  • the number of wells is limited by the size of the well template, which has an individual section or slot for each well connected to the template. Typical sizes include 2, 4, 6 and 8 slot configurations.
  • Template installation typically includes landing of a prefabricated piping deck onto the template.
  • the piping deck typically includes the flowlines and valves necessary to conduct production fluid from the template, as well as the hydraulic lines required to operate the manifold and XT valves. Since maintenance and repairs on deep water equipment requires implementation of ROV-assisted structures, the piping deck, e.g., may be separately retrievable in order to avoid dismantling of the entire production system in case of damage to the piping components.
  • the production structures may be situated in fishery zones, with e.g. trawlers towing trawls on the seabed.
  • trawlers towing trawls on the seabed.
  • the presented flow base system seeks to meet this challenge by arranging production modules that are normally spread out on the seabed into one compact structure.
  • Still other objects include the provision of a versatile flow base system which permits implementation of, e.g., pigging modules and well intervention systems.
  • a flow base system for subsea wells comprising a header pipe for production fluid extended through the flow base system, wherein from opposite sides of the header pipe a set of flow base modules, respectively, is connected for supply of production fluid to the header pipe via individual branch pipes connecting the header pipe with a coupling interface arranged for vertical connection to a Christmas tree (XT) respectively.
  • the flow base system is installed in a frame structure similar to a well template structure, such that a flow base module respectively is inserted into the well slots formed in the frame structure.
  • This flow base system permits protection of the flow base components under a common top cover for the frame structure.
  • This embodiment is also a compact and cost saving solution which combines one singular protection structure with a non-complex piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID).
  • a flow base system for subsea wells comprises a template structure with a header pipe and a number of flow base structures, each flow base structure comprising a XT interface connectable to a XT and wellhead, a set of flow base structures being arranged on each side of the header pipe, each flow base structure being connected to the header pipe via individual branch pipes, the flow base structures being fixed to the well template structure.
  • the piping of the flow base system is fixed to the template structure.
  • the piping of the flow base system can also be partly fixed to the flow base structures.
  • all valves of the system are removable.
  • the flow base system comprises two or more header pipes.
  • flow base structures facilitates extensive use of standard components in a streamlined building process. This benefits to reduced time for installation and testing and thereby cost savings.
  • the described design also facilitates upscaling or downscaling of the system.
  • each flow base structure comprises a well insert in fixed relation to guiding means arranged for guidance of an XT during landing and installation.
  • the guiding means is realized as guide posts or pillars or as funnel-equipped tubes rising from a flow base support, in which the branch pipes and valves as well as XT interfaces are supported.
  • a singular isolation valve on each branch pipe is controllable for opening the branch pipe for flow of production fluid into the at least one header pipe.
  • coupling means is arranged in one end of the at least one header pipe for connecting to external subsea equipment.
  • the arrangement of coupling means at one end of the header pipe or pipes makes it possible to extend the subsea field through the flow base system. This significantly improves the flexibility in the layout of a subsea field using the described flow base system. By connecting a further production line to the flow base system, a production flow can flow through the flow base system.
  • the coupling means can also be used for coupling of a pig launcher/receiver to the flow base system.
  • an isolation valve in the same end of the header pipe is controllable for through flow of production fluid from connected external equipment.
  • coupling means provides the ability for tying-in standalone satellite wells or interconnected (daisy-chain) wells, and permits connection of another flow base system if appropriate.
  • the embodiment also provides the ability of connecting a pig launcher or receiver in the said end of the header pipe.
  • the flow base modules are essentially identical and the flow base modules on one side of the header pipe are turned 180° in relation to the orientation of the flow base modules on the other side of the header pipe.
  • the flow base modules on a first side of the header pipe may be mirrored layouts of the flow base modules on a second side of the header pipe.
  • the first and second sides of the header pipe can advantageously be opposite sides of the header pipe. The advantage of standardization through the repeated use of identical components can still be enjoyed.
  • Operational control is distributed within the flow base system from an umbilical termination assembly (UTA) associated with the flow base system.
  • UTA umbilical termination assembly
  • This embodiment avoids control tubing since flying leads or cables can be used for distribution of hydraulic fluid and/or electrical power.
  • XT control within the flow base system is distributed from the UTA via hydraulic and electric flying leads/cables.
  • a valve control interface is installed for intervention by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) or a diver. This feature can provide redundancy in case other operational control fails.
  • ROV remotely operated vehicle
  • the XT control in the system can be distributed within the flow base system from an umbilical termination assembly associated with the flow base system.
  • the XT control can be distributed from the umbilical termination assembly via hydraulic and/or electric flying leads.
  • a well intervention system is installed essentially in parallel with the production fluid pipework.
  • the well intervention system comprises at least one header pipe with branch pipes extended to each flow base structure respectively.
  • the fluid of the well intervention system can be supplied via an umbilical to an umbilical termination assembly associated with the flow base system.
  • the umbilical termination assembly (UTA) can be coupled directly to the XTs on each flow base structure.
  • the well intervention system allows for supply of gas for enhanced lift of production fluid, or for supply of injection chemicals to the well.
  • the flow base module may thus each comprise two vertical connection systems for the production fluid and for gas lift/chemicals respectively.
  • Each flow base module of the flow base system comprises a well insert in fixed relation to guiding means arranged for guidance of an XT during landing and installation.
  • the guiding means can be realized as guide posts/pillars or as funnel-equipped tubes rising from a flow base support, in which the branch pipes and valves as well as the XT interfaces are supported.
  • the flow base structure may comprise an extension for connecting to an external supply of production fluid via a jumper pipe. This configuration extends substantially the possibility of tying-in external singular or daisy-chain wells in an existing production field architecture.
  • a flow base system 1 comprises a set of flow base modules 2 arranged on opposite sides of a header pipe 3 for production fluid.
  • the header pipe 3 extends through the flow base system from a first or upstream end 4 to a second or downstream end 5 as seen in the direction of flow F through the header pipe.
  • the first end 4 is optionally connectable to external equipment for transport via the header pipe 3.
  • the second end is the discharge end from which production fluid is discharged downstream.
  • a header isolation valve 6 is arranged in the first end of the header pipe, which also in the same end carries coupling means 7 for connecting to an external supplier of production fluid or to other subsea equipment.
  • These external units can be another flow base system, a standalone satellite well or interconnected daisy-chain wells, or a pigging launcher/receiver e.g.
  • the header pipe carries coupling means 8, such as a flange coupling e.g., arranged for connecting the flow base system to a pipeline, a jumper pipe or to other downstream equipment for fluid transport.

  • the isolation valves 6, 12 are releasably connected to the pipe joints or T-branches 9 and branch pipes 10. If necessary, the isolation valves 6, 12 can be removed and replaced.
  • the piping of the flow base system and surrounding structures is permanent and will not be removable. This is possible, since all valves are retrievable.
  • the XT interface 11 is supported on a flow base support 13 which also carries a well insert 14 in fixed relation to an array of guides 15, the guides 15 are arranged for guidance of an XT when lowered to the flow base module during installation.
  • the XT interface 11 faces upwards for vertical or upright connection to the XT.
  • the XT itself is not part of the invention and is omitted from the drawings for reasons of clarity.
