ASHTEAD Technology has successfully completed a subsea integrity management project to support BP’s Quad 204 redevelopment of the Schiehallion and Loyal fields, West of Shetland.

Ashtead, a leading independent provider of subsea technology and equipment, deployed its new Deflection Monitoring System (DMS), to capture critical data required to safely deploy and install two subsea manifolds at water depths of 400m. The technology was launched to the market earlier this year.

The system monitors deflection, heading, pitch, roll, depth and other parameters of subsea structures in real time. This allows informed deci-sions to be made during critical operations, ensuring specified toler-ances and safety requirements are taken into account.

The DMS was optimised to the exact pressures and water depths re-quired for the scope of work at Ashtead’s UKAS accredited calibration laboratory before it was launched from a vessel and lowered 400m onto the seafloor.

The project was completed on time and allowed the subsea manifolds to be installed within 24 hours of the DMS being deployed. The entire project was controlled remotely via radio frequency and acoustic data links, removing the need for direct ROV or diver support intervention in order to gather attitude measurements.

Ashtead utilised a range of communication and positioning tools to enhance the accuracy of data collected and to ensure maximum perfor-mance of the subsea structure once in place.

This new approach to the installation and integrity management of subsea systems was developed by Ashtead Technology as part of its range of value-added services to significantly reduce risk and cost in subsea operations.

Allan Pirie, chief executive of Ashtead Technology said: “Whilst sub-sea structures look robust and are designed to last decades, they can be easily damaged during installation and incorrect orientation can lead to stress on flowlines and jumpers.

BackgroundAl Shaheen field is located in block 5 offshore north-

ern Qatar and is operated under a production sharing agreement on behalf of Qatar Petroleum. The oilfield concession is currently under open bidding as of Q2 2015. Project Status

June 2016: QP and France’s Total have established “North Oil”, a new company to jointly develop and operate Al Shaheen.France’s Total wins the bid for the 30 per cent stake to operate the Al Shaheen Offshore project.QP will keep the remaining 70 per cent in the new joint venture for the Al Shaheen field.

Project scopeThe scope of the work includes:

• Drilling of some 40 new production wells• 20 new water injection wells• Conversion of 14 existing wells to water injection• Construction and installation of new production plat-forms, interconnected with pipelines,• Facilities for gas compression• A gas export pipeline to Qatar Petroleum’s North Field Alpha platform, offshore Qatar• A number of appraisal wells will be drilled to evalu-ate possible further production potentialProject finance

This project client is Qatar Petroleum, who has oper-ated the field jointly with Maersk Oil since 1992. The current agreement for Maersk Oil expires in mid-2017 and the field development is under advisement for open tender of new concession holder since Q2 2015.Project schedule Feasibility study Q1-2014Feed Q2-2014EPC ITB Q2-2015Engineering & Procurement Q3-2015Construction Q4-2015Completion Q4-2016
