Startup 2.2.5.1 WH7 38 Export Pipeline

For startup of the pipeline whether it be the initial startup or a restart following either a planned or unplanned shutdown, the important considerations are the condition of the pipeline, the planned flow quantity and schedule for increasing the flow quantity, and the ambient seawater/air temperatures. These considerations will have a marked effect on the liquid hold up, hydrate formation and corrosion management. Initial startup is scheduled to commence during the winter months. The pipeline will have been previously dried to a set level of dryness and filled with dry gas from onshore. The initial flow rates are likely to be low resulting in a large liquid hold up.

Hydrate formation can occur in the presence of water at low temperature/high pressure conditions and has the capacity to block the pipeline. Control of hydrate formation can be achieved by the presence of Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitor (KHI) injected into the pipeline from the WH7 platform in sufficient quantity depending upon the operating conditions, liquid hold up and concentration of corrosion inhibitor.

This is discussed in Section 4.0. Corrosion of the carbon steel will occur in the presence of water that is exacerbated by the startup conditions. To ensure effective corrosion management during startup the recommended maximum dosage of 1.2 litres/hr of corrosion inhibitor should be injected into the pipeline. Greater quantities of corrosion inhibitor are not recommended as they affect the performance of the KHI. Note: Update of the recommended and maximum recommended dosage of CI during startup should be included on completion of the ongoing Corrosion Management Review and CI/KHI Compatibility Study. During startup and shutdown the rate of increase in flow should be controlled to prevent slugging in the pipeline. This rate of increase should be in the order of 50 MMSCFD/HR.

Startup 2.2.5.1 WH7 38 Export Pipeline


Important considerations

For startup of the pipeline whether it be the initial startup or a restart following either a planned or unplanned shutdown, the important considerations are: condition of the pipeline planned flow quantity and schedule for increasing the flow quantity, and ambient seawater/air temperatures.

Schedule

Initial startup is scheduled to commence during the winter months.

Rationale The pipeline will have been previously dried to a set level of dryness and filled with dry gas from onshore. The initial flow rates are likely to be low resulting in a large liquid hold up. Hydrate formation What is it? Hydrate formation can occur in the presence of water at low temperature/high pressure conditions and has the capacity to block the pipeline.

How to control Control of hydrate formation can be achieved by the presence of Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitor (KHI) injected into the pipeline from the WH7 platform in sufficient quantity depending upon the operating conditions, liquid hold up and concentration of corrosion inhibitor. Corrosion What is it? Corrosion of the carbon steel will occur in the presence of water that is exacerbated by the startup conditions. How to control To ensure effective corrosion management during startup the recommended maximum dosage of 1.2 l / hr of corrosion inhibitor should be injected into the pipeline. Greater quantities of corrosion inhibitor are not recommended as they affect the performance of the KHI. Recommended dosage of CI during startup Slugging prevention Update of the recommended and maximum recommended dosage of CI during startup should be included on completion of the ongoing Corrosion Management Review and CI/KHI Compatibility Study. During startup and shutdown the rate of increase in flow should be controlled to prevent slugging in the pipeline. This rate of increase should be in the order of 50 MMSCFD/HR.
