640 feet |
A feasibility study for development of the Panyu 34-1 field in the South China Sea. Multiple system development options were evaluated based on varying levels of potential production. Subsea considerations included well locations and cluster manifold versus template development approach. Subsea metering systems were reviewed for inclusion in the system. CO2 requirements were evaluated and a protection system was recommended. |

Design, Permit, and Construction Package for Pipeline Repair |
GOM - Ship Shoal Block 269 |
205 feet |
Engineering design, drafting, material specification, procurement support, and permitting support for repair of existing pipelines damaged by Hurricane Rita in the Gulf of Mexico. Two pipelines connecting to a platform destroyed in Hurricane Rita were partially abandoned, and a new pipeline segment was installed to connect the two pipelines and bypass the destroyed platform. |
| Material Specifications Update |

|
Technical evaluation and update of client’s existing standard company material specifications for pipeline projects in shallow water, Gulf of Mexico. This includes material as well as operational specification to be used by the company in the Gulf of Mexico region as well as other locations. |
| Neptune FEED |
Front End Engineering Design for Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Subsea Development |
GOM - Atwater Valley |
4,500 - 6,500 feet |
Full front end engineering design of a deepwater subsea system. This to include refinement and optimization of subsea architecture, system and configuration design of subsea equipment packages, flowline and riser design, electrical and chemical distribution methodology and design, procurement planning, technical specifications and bid packages, and installation and commissioning plans.
Full project management services were provided to the client for incorporation into his overall project-wide project control system. |
| Anchor Drag Rectification |
Front End Engineering Design for Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Subsea Development |
GOM - Ship Shoal Block - 332 |
430 feet |
Damage assessment of a 24 inch diameter, 0.625 wall thickness, Grade X-60 pipeline which was snagged by an installation vessel as the anchor was retrieved. Survey data indicated that approximately 1,200 feet of the pipeline was displaced from the original ditch. The work involved the review of incident logs and diver videos and use of finite element analysis modeling to determine the bending strains experienced by the impacted pipe. A final report defining the analysis methodology, code verification, and recommendations on the damaged pipe disposition was issued. |
| Anchor Drag Rectification |
Mississippi Canyon Block 20 Pipeline Abandonment |
GOM - Mississippi Canyon Block – 20, 108, 109 and South Pass Block 53 |
660 - 765 feet |
Hurricane Ivan caused the collapse of Taylor Energy’s Mississippi Canyon 20 structure to which William's 12 inch pipeline was connected. The work involved the abandonment in place of approximately 6 miles of 12 in pipeline and the restoration of integrity to the remaining 12 inch pipeline to SP-53. |
| Shenzi Alternative Concept Study |
Evaluation of Alternative Field Development Concepts |
GOM - Green Canyon |
4,000 feet |
An evaluation into alternative options for development of the Shenzi field. Multiple system development options were evaluated based on varying levels of potential production. Subsea considerations include architecture, well grouping, manifold count and style, flowline routing, and riser configuration. Operational issues such as facility maintenance, cool down times, and workover are also evaluated for their impact to cost and schedule. |
| Extreme HPHT |
Technology Development Program Enabling Production from Extreme Environments |
Gulf of Mexico |
Deepwater Gulf of Mexico |
Technical support in developing subsea equipment capable of performing at extreme pressure and temperature conditions. Work includes identification, evaluation, and analysis of the technical gap associated with current equipment. Subsea tree, subsea choke, and chemical distribution systems make up a portion of the subsea production system under development.
Follow-on work to include coordinating with suppliers to move the technology forward into detail engineering, prototyping, and qualification testing phases. |
| Deepwater RUPE |
Evaluation of Alternative Field Development Concepts |
|
|
Deepwater RUPE is an on-going project. It was formed in December 2004 as a Joint Industry Study to address deepwater pipeline repairs for pipe sizes ranging from 4-inch to 24-inch. Stress Subsea, Inc. is the project manager and engineer for DW RUPE. There are currently nine members, including eight operating companies and the MMS. |
| HIPPS |
Enabling Technology Development Directed at Installing Gulf of Mexico HIPPS |
Deepwater Gulf of Mexico - Garden Banks 114 |
|
Technical evaluation and commercial assessment of installing a High Integrity Pressure Protection System (HIPPS) in the deepwater GOM. Work effort included identification of required new technology, preliminary design of the system, evaluation of alternative options, clarification and agreement with MMS on safety levels, and performing a cost-benefit analysis. |
| 15,000 psi Subsea Equipment Study |
State of the Technology Related to 15,000 psi Subsea Production Equipment |
Gulf of Mexico |
4,000 feet |
A study to assess the state of the technology related to 15,000 psi subsea production equipment, including flowline and riser systems. An evaluation of equipment performance and historical usage was performed to provide insight into the readiness of high pressure subsea production equipment available on the market. |
| Deepwater Pipeline Installation Analysis |

Two Subsea wells, linked to a platform in the Green Canyon area through Subsea flowlines and umbilicals. |
| Subsea CAPEX Estimation |
Evaluation of Software Utilized for Subsea Field Development CAPEX Estimations |
GOM - Deepwater Development, Aliminos Canyon |
8,000 feet |
An evaluation of commercially available software programs that output “high level” CAPEX cost estimates associated with offshore oil and gas fields. These programs have been developed for shallow water field developments, but are now being evaluated for their use on subsea developments in ultra-deep waters that approach 10,000 feet.
Two subsea scenarios were considered; a 9 production well system utilizing a 2 manifold configuration, and an 18 production well system with a 3 manifold configuration plus 9 water injection wells through a single manifold. Both configurations were tied back to either a Spar or Semi-submersible host facility. |
| Subsea CAPEX Estimation |
CAPEX Estimation for Deepwater Subsea Field Development |
GOM - Deepwater Development, Aliminos Canyon |
8,000 feet |
A budgetary estimate of CAPEX requirements for development of multi-well subsea facility. Utilized commercially available cost estimating software combined with additional analysis and evaluation of technical risks and their added cost impact.
Estimate included multiple case considerations to allow examination and sensitivity analysis of development costs in high risk, ultra-deep water projects. |
