Subsea Manifold
• Functions:– Oil production
– Gas production
– Gas lift injection
– Water injection
• Objectives:– Optimize the subsea layout arrangement
– Reduce flowlines cost
– Reduce the quantity of risers connected to the platform
– Full production in advance

Manifold Installation Methods in Brazil
• Conventional procedures up to 1000 m WD
– Installation by cable
– Installation by drilling riser
• Non-conventional procedures over 1000 m WD
– Sheave Installation Method (Roncador Manifold Phase 1)
– Pendulous Installation Method (PIM)
with AHTS
with Crane Barge
To be used in the To be used in the next two P52 Manifoldsnext two P52 Manifolds
Conventional Installation Methods
• Work wire (w/o heave motioncompensation)
• Drilling Riser
AHTS
CraneBarge
Sheave Installation Method
• Offshore facilities:– SS rig: Provides heave motion
compensation
– AHTS 1: Lift the Manifold together with the SS rig
– AHTS 2: Orient the Manifold

P52 Manifold
• Dimensions: 16.5m (L) x 8.5m (W) x 5.2m (H)
• Weight in air: 280 tons
• WD installation: 1900m
• CG: 3.15m
P52 Manifold: Retrievable Modules
• Almost all components are retrievable
• One SCM per X-Tree, six in total

P52 Manifold: SCM
• Subsea Control Module (SCM)– Electrical components: vibrations and pressure rate
Manifold Structural Analysis – FEA
• Structure life– Construction steps: manufacture, assembly, integration test
– Road and sea transportation
– Installation
– Operation
• Loads– Permanent loads
– Operational loads
– Enviroments loads
• Dynamic Amplification
Factor (DAF): 2
Manifold Structural Analysis – Global Model
• Global model: AISC - LRFD checking
Lifting condition: AISC checking for axial load plus bending moment
Manifold Structural Analysis – Local Model
• Local model: von Mises checking – 60% of yield strength – 345Mpa
Lifting condition: von Mises stress distribution (MPa)
Hydrodynamic analysis
• Excessive Oscillations (initial instability)

CG positionMunk effectDragLiftVortex shedding
Hydrodynamic analysis (Cont.)
• Increase hydrodynamic stability– additional buoyancy in the line installation (1)
– a hydrodynamic-adapted geometry, e.g., vertical or near vertical panels around equipment (2) and open holes in the mud mat (3)
– dead weight at the manifold mud mat

Hydrodynamic analysis (Cont.)
• Mechanism to avoid initial instability

BGL-1 (Crane Barge)
Closing Remarks
• For increasing the manifold reliability most of all components are retrievable;
• The assumed value for DAF (2) is enough to cover all the operational conditions;
• SCM supports installation loads;
• Counterweight is essential for avoid oscillations;
• Additional work for next manifold project is required in order to develop a “hydrodynamic structurehydrodynamic structure” to avoid the excessive oscillations during initial moments.
