Literature Study on Cost Effective Platform for Marginal Field

1. BACKGROUND
PT. Pertamina Hulu Energi West Madura Offshore
(PHE WMO) nowadays have many marginal field
development in 30-70 meter water depth ini Madura
Offshore Area.

West Madura Offshore Location


Literature Study on Cost Effective Platform for Marginal Field

1. BACKGROUND
PHE WMO is trying to find concepts, which considerably
reduce the costs of these marginal field developments
and consequently make these developments
economically feasible.
Most of these marginal developments are based on the
"satellite principle", which means that existing pipeline
transportation infrastructure and production facilities in
the vicinity of the marginal field are used so that the
development costs are significantly reduced.
Marginal field infrastructure experiences need to be
collected to meet the requirements of this study. This
study typically deals with the literature study of cost
effective platform.

2. OBJECTIVE OF STUDY
This objective of this study is to analyze and
select the suitable platform (monopod, tripod
or other) for PHE WMO Marginal Field in West
Madura Offshore that have
30-70 meter water depth
about 350 tons topside weight.
This study is expected to be a guideline as

There are two(2) structures in this group:


1. Freestanding conductors
2. Supported conductors
One of supported conductor type which is known is
Stacked Template Structure (STS) and Tall Template
Structure (TTS) platform.
These structures are suitable for area which have
mild environmental load (wave and current),
minimum topside weight and shallow water depth

There are six (6) structures in this group:


1. Caisson
2. Supported caisson
3. Monopod
4. Straight jacket
5. Conventional 3- or 4-leg jacket
6. Jack-up structure
Structures number 1 & 2 are suitable for area which have mild environmental
load (wave and current), minimum topside weight and shallow water depth.
Other structures (number 3 to 6) are applicable for harsher environment,
more topside weight and more deep water depth in shallow water.
Especially for jack-up structure, since it uses shallow foundation, it needs
more study on structural integrity under harsh environment loads.
More information about structures that use and do not use conductors as
principal load carrying members is shown in Appendix A.

4. BREAKDOWN OF COST
4.1. Platform Cost Breakdown (1/2)
The cost breakdown of a marginal field over the various activities holds the
key to cost reduction and better insight into areas of practical improvement.
Based on historical project cost and cost estimates for current projects the
typical cost breakdown of a field development is as follows:
Field development cost breakdown: [Ref 1]
Wells = 55 %
Pipeline = 15 %
Platform = 30%
Cost can be optimized from the beginning if development cost effective
strategy is implemented. For example, a platform construction with 20
wells can be compared to two (2) platforms and 10 wells for each platform.
The second option may be better from cost aspect.
Literature Study on Cost Effective Platform for Marginal Field

4. BREAKDOWN OF COST
4.1. Platform Cost Breakdown (2/2)
The above-table shows that the platform costs are approximately 30 of the total field
development costs. Analysis of the cost components for marginal fields shows the following
breakdown for the platform cost:
Platform cost breakdown: [Ref 1]
Design & engineering =15 %
Procurement = 15 %
Fabrication = 20%
Installation = 50%
It is noted that the cost breakdown may vary considerably depending on specific
circumstances, but it is concluded that the installation costs are the key cost driver for a
marginal platform.
These costs can in many cases amount to about 50% of the total platform costs; especially if
the installation is taking place using scarce, purpose-built and high-cost heavy lift installation
vessels.
The installation cost varies depend on structural size and weight, load out & installation
method and location water depth.

4. BREAKDOWN OF COST
4.2. Reduction of The Installation Costs
The assessment of existing platform concepts and their
cost structure led to the conclusion that the choice for
any concept is closely related to the method of
installation, as it constitutes approximately 50% of the
total support structure costs.
Recognizing the impact of the installation activity, it has
been concluded to focus on that activity to achieve cost
savings.
The three following ways have been identified to reduce
the installation costs and consequently the total cost of
a marginal field development.

Use established and proven installation


equipment, but try to control the activity
by applying a better contract strategy
between the oil companies and the
contractors.

Sharing facility with drilling division. Use a jack-up rig already on


location for drilling purposes, which apart from its lower day-
rate does not have additional mob/demob costs.
But there are some note to be considered when choosing this
method:
Jack up rig only pile straight leg platform type.
Platform weight limited to jack up rig crane capacity (i.e. <150
tonnes jacket weight)
Topside weight limited to jack up rig crane capacity
Need additional buoyancy tanks to stabilize the platform
Need good designed platform self buoyancy

Sharing facility with pipeline installation. Use pipeline derrick lay


barge to lift and install the platform rather than conventional derrick
barge. So its mob-demob can be shared with platform installation.
But there are some notes to be considered when choosing this
method:
Potential cheaper if pipeline installation really need big barge
capacity.
Platform type not limited, can be straight or batter leg
Platform weight limited to derrick barge crane capacity
Topside weight limited to derrick barge crane capacity
Derrick barge crane must have two slings.

Cost reductions by applying a better contract strategy between the


oil companies and the contractors may also be realized, but these
will not be discussed in this study. This literature study
concentrates typically on the existing cost-effective platform,
which may be resulted from an assessment of the above-
mentioned alternatives 2, 3 and 4.

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


From structural applicability and cost breakdown consideration,
conclusions and recommendations below should be considered:
1) There are three main groups of platform type that can be applied
in marginal field, they are: platform that use conductors as
principal load carrying members (freestanding conductor,
supported conductor), platform that does not use conductors as
principal load carrying members (caisson, supported caisson,
monopod, straight jacket, conventional 3- or 4- leg jacket, jack up
structure), and self installed platform (SIP 1, SIP 2, SIP 3, and SIP 4).
2) To choose the most suitable and lowest cost platform for
marginal field, it must consider the rate of field production that
the deck weight can be determined, number of wells, water depth,
environmental load condition (wave and current), foundation type,
methods of installation, transportation, fabrication, material type,
and soil type.
Literature Study on Cost Effective Platform for Marginal Field

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


3) Freestanding conductor and supported conductors can be applied
for the field that has water depth up to 20 m and 60 m,
respectively. Freestanding and supported caissons are for water
depth up to 40 m and 60 m, respectively. Braced
monopod/monotower, straight jacket, conventional 3- or 4- leg
jacket, and jack up structure can be used can be applied for the
field that has water depth up to 100 m. SIP 1 and SIP 3 are for
water depth up to 30 m, while SIP 2 and SIP 4 3 are for water
depth up to 50 m.
4) Platform types that can be used to carry the topside weight until
400 tonnes are straight jacket, conventional 3- or 4- leg jacket, SIP
2, SIP 3, and SIP 4.
5) Monopod, straight jacket, conventional 3- or 4- leg jacket, and jack
up structure can be applied in the field that has the harsh
environmental load condition, while supported conductor,
freestanding caisson, supported caisson, SIP 2, and SIP 4 can be in
the medium environmental load condition field. Freestanding
conductor, SIP 1, and SIP 3 can only be applied in the mild
environmental load condition field
Literature Study on Cost Effective Platform for Marginal Field

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


6) Cost optimization can be performed considering the reduction of
installation cost. All possible cases, methods and strategy to reduce
installation cost should be considered. These are specific for every case.
7) Freestanding conductor and supported conducter are not recommended
for PHE WMO because they have small topside weight capability, and many
integrity problem had found during operational & maintenance
8) Freestanding Caisson is not recommended for PHE WMO because small
topside weight capability.
9) Braced/ Supported Caisson is less recommended for PHE WMO since the
topside weight limitation (350 tonnes) is bigger than its topside weight
capability.
10) Braced monopod/monotower is RECOMMENDED for PHE WMO. But for
limited 1-6 well. Need improvement in brace support for more wells or
more topside weight.
Literature Study on Cost Effective Platform for Marginal Field

5. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS


11) Conventional Jacket (3 & 4 leg) is RECOMMENDED for PHE WMO.
Spreadbase 3-leg jacket/tripod is recommended for 1-6 well.
Conventional batter 3-leg jacket/tripod is recommended for 1-15 well.
Conventional batter 4-leg jacket is recommended for 1-16 well if smaller
pile diameter and higher environmental load is considered.
12) Straight Jacket (3 & 4 leg) is less recommended for PHE WMO since
straight type structural configuration is not effective because it has less
capability to encounter higher environmental load better than batter leg
type. But for installation consideration for example using jackup rig
installation, it may be considered.
13) Jackup Structure is not recommended since it is not effective for PHE
WMO area and there is problem with difficult soil.
14) Self Installed Platform and Buoyant Tower is not recommended yet, since
they are not proven yet in Indonesia Offshore.

Tripods: A typical Tripod is a
tubular space frame consisting
of three legs and the bracing

2. Caissons and Braced Caisson
A Caisson is a relatively large-diameter cylindrical shell that
supports a small deck and this type of a structure is
applicable to relatively shallow water depth sites.
The Caisson structures installed in deeper water are
provided with a bracing system to resist lateral loading.
A Caisson that may be subjected to hurricane loading is
typically limited to water depth sites of about 50 m (165 ft)
while the Braced Caisson makes it cost-effective to utilise
these Caissons to sites with water depths of 80-100 m (260-
330 ft).
World Experience on Typical Offshore Platform for

3. Monotower / Monopod
A typical monotower is a large-diameter
cylindrical shell supporting a deck structure
and it transfers the functional and
environmental loads to the foundation
through the framing system and the piles.
Typically, a monotower is supported by four
piles at four corners of the framing system.
The size of the monotower and the
restraining system (i.e. framing system and
piles) depend on the deck payload and the
environmental condition.
Thus, as illustrated in Table A- 1, the
structures identified to be in the harsh North
Sea environment would require substantial Typical monotower platform:
steel to resist wind, wave and current loads. Monopod platform in Alaska,

4. Conductor Supported Platform
Conductor Supported Minimum
Offshore Structures (known as
CoSMOS platforms), utilize the well
conductors to support the topsides
thus eliminating the need for a
separate supporting jacket structure.
They offer particular benefits in terms
of modular design, fast procurement, Standalone MFP (Olowi Field Offshore Gabon)
low fabrication cost as well as ease of
installation since they can be installed
from a jack-up or crane barge without
the need for costly installation vessels.
