Subsea Field Development – Top Down Approach
Level Main Factors Tie-in & Connection topics
Reservoir, Field,location + Government and Company requirements (= Design Basis)
• Reservoir parameters (pressure, temperatures,gas/oil, size, water depth, well locations etc)
• Process requirements• Geographic location/Environmental conditions• Availability of vessels in region
• Connection parts qualified for parameters• Connection system meets installation and
operational requirements• Can be used/maintained from small vessels
in remote locations

What is a Tie-In and Connection System
In reference to Oil and Gas Industry the connection system:
• Joins two pieces of equipment (e.g. tree to wellhead, jumper to hub, etc.)
• Prevent fluid leakage to the environment• Establish and maintain a seal on a gasket• Withstand external loading (internal pressure,
bending, tension, torsion)

Challenges:• Design Basis and Customer
Requirements• Many needs in one field• Intervention Strategy • Reuse of existing tooling• Cost evaluation criteria• Interfaces
– Internal interfaces in Subsea Production System
– Interfaces to pipeline/flowline
• External forces • Physical interfaces • Handling and installation • Installation procedures
• Knowledge and experience of involved personnel
• Personal and cultural preferences based on experience

Vertical vs Horizontal Tie-In Systems Selection• Regional preferences and customer preferences• Total installed cost• Field architecture (on-template wells, off-template well clusters
and wide area distribution wells)• Ease of fabrication (onshore/ offshore)• Lifting capacity of the installation vessel • Ease of performing jumper installation• Ease of Tree and / or Manifold retrieval• Regional requirement for overtrawlability and hence minimum
height protection structures (i.e. North Sea applications).• Avoidance of trapped water and potential hydrate formation• Multi-phase and Wet Gas meters location (Need to be in a vertical
leg for proper performance)

Process
• UCON Family – UCON-H, Horizontal– UCON-V, Vertical
• Based on the same family of standards– Collet Connectors (KC)– Clamp Connectors (KL)
• The core collet and clamp connectors use the same mono-bore and multi-bore hubs/connector bodies and Seals
• The design and qualification philosophy is that qualified seals can be used in all connectors.

Conclusions
• Tie-in and Connection system selection is fundamental to an
economic field development
• Vertical & or Horizontal tie-ins with rigid and or flexible pipe may be
selected – feature common connectors and hubs
• UCON Connection system reduces total installed cost
• Simplified ROV deployed Tooling reduces installation time
• Integral Thermal Insulation available vs. adding “dog houses”
improves thermal performance and reduces cost
• Subsea parking & pre-installation of jumpers without Subsea
production equipment is enabled
• Reduced personnel onboard vessels and simplified maintenance
• Wide Pipe range available
