Abstract

Mubadala Petroleum operates offshore platforms in a southern Makassar Straits that needs to be periodically inspected. The cost for the inspection is massive due to the high cost of mobilization and demobilization of vessels including crew and equipment. In response of a new approach to reduce cost, a Risk-Based Underwater Inspection (RBUI) methodology is developed. This RBUI purpose is to reduce the inspection interval of the offshore platform, from every 2 years to a longer period[1]. There are existing RBUI methodologies, which are already developed and implemented in other companies[5]. Purpose of this paper is to develop further detailed and more accurate RBUI methodology based on data analysis and the agile development method. Offshore platforms condition is dynamic and always changing from time to time. This methodology uses offshore platform design and condition data, including inspection data. All collected inspection data of offshore platform conditions will produce an accurate risk register of the platform. Thus, accurate risk register will give the best inspection interval time, considering its safety and economical benefit. From the RBUI analysis using this method, inspection interval can be deferred from 2 (two) years to range of 4-9 years, depending on the condition and risk of the platform. The operating cost of each platform also reduced up to US$ 670,737 per year.

Abstract

Aluminum is the most widely used metal in industry. Aluminum smelting is one of the important steps that needs to be carried out to produce products made of aluminum metal with good quality. In the process of smelting aluminum there are several problems that occur, one of which is the growth of corundum in Si C refractories which affects the quality of aluminum melt and the durability of Si C refractories. This research was conducted to see the heat transfer in Si C and the effect of the presence of Corundum on heat transfer. This research was carried out by simulation using COMSOL Multiphysics to see the distribution of heat and the resulting temperature. The simulation is carried out in two dimensions geometry of a Si C slab and a layer of corundum added. From the simulations carried out for two conditions, namely Si C without corundum and Si C with corundum, it was found that the presence of corundum would inhibit the heat transfer process on Si C Slab.

Abstract

Significant growth of gas demand as a source of power generation for domestic use and industries, mainly in the developed countries, has forced the effort to secure the gas supplies located thousands of miles away across the sea as an economical way of gas transportation instead of transporting by pipeline. LNG technology was created as the solution. Natural gas is refrigerated below its boiling point (-160oC to -162oC), known as cryogenic temperature or cryogenic service. Material of Construction (MOC) selection report showed that 304/304L and 316/316L Stainless Steel pipe could withstand and be suitable for this type of service. However, the SS pipe price could be much more costly than the CS pipe. An alternative philosophy to the full-flange rating is introduced in this paper to reduce SS pipe thickness without sacrificing safety issues and proper engineering practice. The philosophy of the pipe wall-thickness calculation method utilized in this paper showed no impact on the class 150 rating due to the selected thicknesses being equal or higher. However, the class 300 rating successfully reduced pipe selected thickness for pipe sizes larger than 24 inches ranging from 20,15% to 31,1%, and for class 600 rating successfully reduced the thickness ranging from 6,28% to 16,55% for pipe sizes 10 inches and larger. The overall pipe thickness reduction reduced pipe weight for cryogenic services by approximately 91,84 tons. The philosophy of the pipe wall-thickness calculation method for cryogenic services can be extended to all other services in the entire LNG production train to gain maximum cost savings for the pipe purchasing cost.

Abstract

The oil and gas industry generally uses a piping system to drain fluids. Even though the pipes used have been well designed, the use of pipes as a means of fluid transportation still provides the possibility of failure that can occur at any time, one of which is due to uniform corrosion. The use of standard Risk Based Inspection (RBI) according to the API RBI 581 document has been widely used to anticipate potential failures to pipe components. The use of standard RBI can reduce the risk of failure significantly. Because the standard RBI considers the component risk value to be constant, it causes an error in the component status assessment. It is unfortunate happen, if an industry fails due to an error in the inspection results, causing financial losses. This research will design dynamic RBI using thickness data of 12 PT.X inspection points in 5 inspection time intervals. The results showed that the dynamic RBI design that was compiled could provide real-time component condition status, capture fluctuations in the corrosion rate that occurred, and provide an accurate description of the actual component condition. RBI design makes inspection and maintenance planning more precise by reducing the frequency of redundant inspections and the possibility of inspection planning errors.

Abstract

As well reserved depleted and limited, it is necessary to lower the capital expenditure so that lifting SZ reservoir be more profitable. This article first contextualizes the effort done to increase the hydrocarbon lifting in a mature field. Despite the importance to sustain the production, and massive studies done to quantify the associate risk, no structured methodology proposed to manage the risk in respect to optimize the production expenditure by selection of carbon steel as alternative for corrosion resistance material piping. Hence, this article proposed a framework to support the decision-making process to operate in safely manner. Real case study proposed and evaluated shown 6.72-millimetre metal loss due to SEC and CO2 corrosion is expected to occur within 5 years’ design life. Hence, carbon steel pipe is allowed considering the risk mitigation define are provided and continuously monitored. Results shows the proposed framework increase the confidence level in putting the assessment results into proper decision-making process whilst improving the integrity management system.
