Field Development Approach
INTECSEA can provide expertise to assist in the
earliest stages of leasing and exploration to identify
business and technical solutions that will enable
clients to turn their assets into profits. INTECSEA
can also offer assistance over the life of any field
during expansion, optimization and decommissioning
phases. The systematic and logical approach to
project feasibility studies employed by INTECSEA
specialists provides field economic and scenario
modeling based on information sourced from
accessible industry data, shared experience and
lessons learned from past projects. INTECSEA and
WorleyParsons field development specialists are
available to assist clients with every type of study,
from fast high-level screening estimates to more in-
depth concept-select exercises and workshops.
Feasibility and Concept-Select Studies
Maximum value is achieved by executing preliminary
geotechnical, flow assurance, field architecture and
cost estimating studies during the early phases
of reservoir characterization, techno-economic
appraisals and technology gap reviews. Framing
workshops are held to discover the client’s
primary drivers and risks, and to rank potential
development scenarios against these drivers. Field
development concepts are vetted by performing
qualitative and quantitative technical evaluations,
risk assessments and life-cycle economics. INTECSEA
and WorleyParsons maintain cost and schedule
databases for a large range of development solutions
that can provide valuable benchmarking input.
The impacts of key drivers and risks are assessed
through sensitivity analysis using client guidelines.
Each identified development option is optimized to
minimize uncertainties by applying our deep project
experience in conjunction with client technical staff
and industry technology suppliers.
Subsea and Surface Facilities
Production and process facilities are the backbone
of an efficient and successful development. Proper
flow system modeling over the field lifecycle is a
crucial key in every development. Working together
with the client team, INTECSEA specialists strive
to model the entire flow system from downhole
through surface facilities and sales. Processing
simulations are run to find the best system
options to satisfy production efficiency, flexibility,
expandability, reliability and cost standards. Study
of system capabilities, technical readiness and
qualification requirements will be a significant part
of the appraisal of surface and subsea production
and process facilities. Wherever technically and
economically preferred, proven equipment will
Full Field DevelopmentINTECSEA’s full field development service produces a “Well to Market” solution by encompassing all of the
essential building blocks in a complete offshore development program. The full field development service is

be selected; care must be taken to assure that a
mandate of allowing only traditional technology does
not lead to shortcomings during the project lifecycle.
In some situations, compact surface facilities may
be considered and in other cases, Subsea Active
Production Technologies (SAPT) – such as separators,
pumps, compressors or electric flowline heating –
may enable a development to be commercially viable.
Fixed and Floating Structures
Selecting the appropriate solution for the surface
facilities of an offshore development requires a clear
understanding of overall project drivers and intimate
knowledge of the full suite of available technologies.
Traditional offshore platforms often offer the most
effective facilities solution for shallow to medium
water depths. For marginal fields the traditional
solution of a platform may not be optimum; a tieback
to an existing host, a minimal satellite platform or
even a direct flowline to a land based facility may
be more attractive. All options should be rigorously
evaluated in the concept-select phase. INTECSEA
is at the forefront in furnishing solutions for the
full range of floating systems, including Floating
Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels,
Semisubmersibles and Tension Leg Platforms
(TLPs). WorleyParsons provides fixed platform
and processing facilities expertise, including the
modularization and integration of floating systems.
The Group has a strong track record of working
with major fabrication sites, specialist integration
dockyards and leading shipyards for the delivery of
fixed and floating structures and topsides elements.
Operational Support
Full field development does not stop after the
initial design, build and install phases. System-based
evaluation studies should continue throughout the
project lifecycle to support operations, integrity
management, brownfield improvements, secondary
recovery and decommissioning. Our field development
specialists and discipline teams are available to
support clients throughout all project phases.

as large network flow assurance competency.
INTECSEA has been engaged for more than 10 years
in engineering and project delivery support for the
various phases of the development, currently with a
well count in excess of 70.
Long Distance Delivery Management
INTECSEA’s Long Distance Delivery Management
(LDDM) engineering service is an integral part of its
subsea offering. This provides the step change that
is increasingly required to enable developments in
deep and ultra-deepwater, reservoirs with heavy oils
and fields with long tiebacks or limited facilities on
topside structures.
INTECSEA has previously established records of
over 120km and 45km, respectively, for the longest

and mechanical protection.
INTECSEA continues to make groundbreaking
solutions for offshore pipeline systems across
the major hydrocarbon centers, with challenging
offshore projects in the Gulf of Mexico, Angola,
Australia, Brazil, Egypt and China.
BP's flagship Angola program involves the
development of four projects within the Angolan
Offshore Block 31. PSVM adopts a centrally located
FPSO with subsea ‘offline’ manifolds and clustered
wells located in water depths up to a maximum
design of 2100m. INTECSEA provided the engineering
and delivery support of the flowline scope
comprising the design of the flowlines, flowline
termination, inline assemblies and tie-in spools.
INTECSEA offers industry leading capability for all

Terminals
INTECSEA has provided engineering and construction
management services on more than 60 SPM and
CBM marine terminal projects around the world in
harsh and shallow water environments, including
the Arctic. These terminals were designed for a
wide range of products, 40,000 to 300,000 dwt
tankers, 10-inch to 56-inch diameter pipelines and
associated onshore facilities. Site selection, system
design, development of performance specifications
and component sizing of marine tanker loading
and offloading facilities are all an integral part of
INTECSEA’s capabilities. INTECSEA has also extended
its expertise to engineering of spread moorings
(CBMs) and fixed berths which have resulted in
a capability for unbiased evaluation of alternate
solutions for terminal configurations and subsequent
implementation of the selected choice.

INTECSEA performed detailed design through AFC stage of the Medusa, Devil’s Tower and Front Runner SPARs.
Devil’s Tower set the spar depth record at 5,610 ft.
INTECSEA is a world leader in Tension Leg Platform
(TLP) designs. In addition to providing detailed
design for the initial TLPs in the Gulf of Mexico,
INTECSEA has been instrumental in the design of
16 out of the 21 currently sanctioned Tension Leg
Platforms. INTECSEA matured the development of
the MOSES TLP, which was the first to meet new
hurricane criteria in the Gulf of Mexico while setting
water depth records. Other notable projects include
wellhead and drilling TLP designs using tender
assisted drilling and conventional production TLPs,
all designed to meet specific project needs.
TLPs are a preferred floating systems concept
for operators who require dry trees and platform
drilling, primarily because the design offers vertical
access to subsea wells. Additionally, the design’s
benchmark ratio of steel weight to payload makes
it one of the most efficient floating platforms in
the industry. TLPs are the third-most used type
of floating production facility in the world and are
ideal for a broad range of water depths. The unique
tension leg mooring system allows for horizontal
movement with wave disturbances, but does not
permit vertical or bobbing movement. This makes
TLPs a popular choice for stability.
Tension Leg Platforms
INTECSEA is a global leader in SPARs floating
system design. In the Gulf of Mexico, INTECSEA
has participated in major portions of 10 SPARs,
including Genesis, Diana, Medusa, Devil’s Tower,
Front Runner, Constitution, Red Hawk, Holstein,
Mad Dog and Mirage. INTECSEA is the only
engineering company with execution experience
in all three SPAR types and has designed SPARs to
record setting water depths.
The SPAR floating production platform is an
important concept for situations that support dry
trees in deepwater and for harsh environments. The
deep-draft design makes the SPAR less affected
by wind, waves and currents, enabling the facility
to support both subsea and dry tree developments.
Additionally, the enclosed cylinder acts as protection
for risers and equipment, making SPARs an ideal
choice for deepwater developments.
Variations to the original SPAR design include the
cell and truss approaches. The cell approach utilizes
several smaller diameter columns in lieu of a single
large diameter hull. Both approaches strive to reduce
construction costs and possibly transportation costs
by increasing competition of capable fabrication
yards (cell SPAR) or by reducing the amount of
material required (truss SPAR).
SPARs
16 tension leg platforms
The semisubmersible floating platform is an
important concept for drilling and production,
particularly for heavy payloads in ultra-deep
water. Semisubmersibles offer the convenience
of near shore completion and integration of the
topsides, and are stable in tow to site. INTECSEA's
experienced designers have participated in 17
semisubmersible projects.
One of INTECSEA’s innovations is its unique and
proprietary integrated hydro-structure-drafting
suite that links the hydrodynamic load-generation
models with the structure models and the structure
models with the 3-D design models (PDMS). This has
the capability to generate 2-D AutoCAD design and
shop-level drawings from the PDMS model.
Semisubmersibles
INTECSEA’s moorings system expertise encompasses
all types of floating systems, including tendons,
catenary systems, taut and semi-taut systems,
synthetic moorings, hawsers, drag embedment
anchors, suction anchors and pile anchors.
INTECSEA enhanced the industry standard tendon
system for TLPs and executed the delivery of
tendon systems for six installed TLPs, the most in
the industry. INTECSEA’s expertise includes tendon
global design, component design and specification,
fabrication and installation management, and
specialty installation equipment.
As a leader in the industry, INTECSEA is responsible
for the execution of the industry’s first catenary
and hawser mooring system for a Tender Assisted
Drilling (TAD) vessel working with a TLP and has
designed three such systems working in the field.
INTECSEA’s unparalleled analysis capability paired
with a multi-body, fully coupled model is matched
only by practical experience on tendon and mooring
components, which ensures that robust and fit-for-
purpose components are used.
Mooring and Tendon Systems
100+ floating production systems projects
INTECSEA’s semisubmersible project engineering experience includes conversions and upgrades of existing
vessels for both drilling and production, as well as new vessel design of production facilities. INTECSEA has
also completed engineering studies and detailed mooring system designs for semisubmersibles in drilling
and production applications.
Containing up to 20% of the world’s future
hydrocarbon reserves, the Arctic is a vital future
resource and a technically challenging opportunity.
Unique pipeline design aspects for Arctic conditions
include analysis of the potential effects of Arctic-
specific environmental loadings (ice scour, strudel
current scour, permafrost) and the effective use of
limit state design for extreme loading conditions.
Evaluation of these challenging design-loading
conditions and use of a limit state design philosophy
have been successfully used by INTECSEA for
offshore Arctic pipelines. In fact, INTECSEA has
executed the only offshore oil pipelines in the
US Arctic and has completed recent projects with
flowline bundles to manage the considerable
thermal challenges.
Oil and gas pipelines on the Arctic Ocean continental
shelf must typically address trenches up to 6m
deep for seabed ice gouge protection and floating
construction equipment working only during a two or
three month summer open water season. However,
the design and installation of three existing pipeline
systems work with the cold Arctic winter conditions
to reduce pipeline costs and minimize adverse
effects on the fragile marine environment.
INTECSEA has engineered all three pipeline systems
in the Beaufort Sea using innovative design
approaches and is presently supporting the energy
industry as planned conventional and subsea field
developments move deeper into the Arctic Ocean.
INTECSEA also actively supports its clients in
planning for offshore subsea and pipelines in the
Arctic, and has assisted in clients’ tenders for leasing
new Arctic offshore acreage. Its floating systems
expertise has also been active in developing floating
solutions for Arctic and other ice covered waters.
The development of composite steel and concrete
gravity based designs that handle Arctic ice loads
are part of concept development for clients planning
Arctic drilling and production facilities.
Arctic DevelopmentINTECSEA offers over 30 years of expertise in cold weather and Arctic capability for the design and
construction of oil and gas production facilities located in remote, hostile environments.
