Oil field operating company’s ⁽¹⁾ flowline network in North and West Kuwait (NWK) has over 3000 wells connected through 6” carbon steel pipelines flowing from wellhead to the nearest Gathering Center (GC). Untreated wet crude is transported through the flowlines to GC’s directly or passing through the Remote Headers and Manifold (RHM) to GCs. In RHM, mixing of the wet crude takes place before it is sent to GC’s via transfer lines for further separation. The flowlines are laid aboveground except at road crossings where they are buried.

Flowlines in the Oil & Gas industry play a pivotal role in ensuring the safe and dependable production of hydrocarbons. Maintaining their integrity stands as a critical responsibility for all operators. Duplex stainless steel (DSS) materials find extensive use within our organization, particularly in upstream Oil & gas, across various critical applications such as pipelines and flowlines. These DSS pipelines are versatile, serving not only in traditional oil transmission but also in diverse applications like water supply, un-stabilized condensate transportation, and the conveyance of wet gas. In recent years, PDO has faced challenges associated with the premature failure of DSS flowlines and pipelines. These failures have been linked to issues arising during hydrotesting, maintenance, and subsurface fracking operations, primarily due to liquid stagnation. This paper presents a comprehensive case study focusing on premature DSS failures, offering insights into our strategies for preserving the integrity of flowlines during extended well shutdowns.

Oil & Gas flowlines are paramount for safe and reliable production of hydrocarbons, ensuring their integrity is one of the key tasks for all operators. Petroleum Development of Oman (PDO) manages around 11,000 Km of flowlines and connects to production stations more than 400 wells across more than 50 fields every year. Applications for these flowlines vary from the traditional Oil & Gas transmission to other applications such as water injection, polymer flood and steam injection. All these diverse applications involve multiple operation environments ranging from benign fields with low CO2 < 0.5 mole% and minimum H2S to very aggressive environments with CO2 and H2S concentrations well above 10 mole%, combined with a wide range of salinities and water cuts, with chlorides concentrations ranging from 5,000 to 200,000 ppm and water cuts from almost nil to more than 95%. The challenges encountered in safe and economic development of these assets across such a wide range of conditions are numerous; therefore, the material selection and designed methods to manage flowlines integrity are complex with no single solution approach to address the myriad of different conditions. This paper present two cases of metallic and non-metallic materials installed in PDO flowlines showing their historical field performance and discusses the strategy adopted for the material selection of flowlines.

Fusion Bonded Joint: A Fatigue Friendly Connector for Cost Efficient Plastic Lined Pipe Installation and Operation

Product Number: MPWT19-14415

Author: François LIROLA

Publication Date: 2019

$0.00

This paper presents the features of the Fusion Bonded Joint sleeve and addresses its design, manufacturing, and the outcomes of the comprehensive physical testing campaign that was performed. The summary of the tests that were carried out begin from the proof of concept phase to the integrated system tests, covering both carbon steel and High-Density PolyEthylene components assembled under conditions representative of its offshore operating conditions.The present paper covers preliminary manufacturing testing phase, electro-fusion welds qualification along with the required equipment and finally full-scale testing demonstrating the sleeve is compatible with standard welding processes. An in-depth analysis of the conditions and results of the fatigue testing campaign specifics, covering both carbon steel and electro-fusion welds dynamic behavior is proposed.
