DONG Energy - Renewables – Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm Project – Environmental Management Plan

As part of the project implementation of the Burbo Bank Offshore Wind Farm Project in the UK, EPEn took charge of the development of the Environmental Management Plan, HSE Plans, Risk Assessment and preparation of Quality Plans. The plans and assessments were prepared by experienced senior  consultants and conforming to the legislation laid down by the UK HSE. The plans and assessments secured execution with minimal disruption to health safety and environment and with minimal execution disruption.

 

LOTOS Petrobaltic – B8 Oil Field Development Project – Field Development Study

Following completion of the original Field Development Study in 2009, EPConsult Energies was re-engaged by LOTOS Petrobaltic to update the original reservoir simulation model using Updated PVT tables for black oil simulator and updated vertical flow performance (VFP) tables. History matching was performed to resolve the issue of high tubing head pressures and slow reservoir pressure decline in the model by using well test and observation data and updated production history for the field, also the production well's control on bottom hole pressure was set for prediction phase of the modelling. Four separate cases and two sensitivities were modelled in order to determine the optimum production profile.

 

Escal UGS / JP Kenny – Underground Gas Storage Project – Shipping and Fishing Risk Assessment Escal

UGS S.L is implementing the Castor Underground Gas Storage Project offshore Spain. EPEn was commissioned to perform fishing and shipping interaction study to evaluate the risk to the pipeline from fishing and shipping activities and to recommend appropriate risk reduction measures on the basis of cost benefit analysis, where necessary, to reduce risks to an acceptable level.


 

Galsi Project / JP Kenny – Gas from Algeria to Italy - Pipeline Integrity Management

The Galsi Project comprises a significant pipeline system between Algeria and Northern Italy, including ultra-deepwater and onshore sections of the 1000 km pipelines, pressure boosting and let-down stations, and metering stations. With the purpose of optimising the engineering design EPEn has performed HAZID, QRA, Pipeline Integrity Study and RAM study, all with the purpose of refining and providing input to the design and securing a solid production system, once implemented.

 

Cadogan Petroleum – Ukraine Production Sites – HSE Management System and Quantitative Risk Assessment

Cadogan Petroleum is an active operator in Ukraine, with multiple sites of oil and gas production facilities. EPEn has supported Cadogan Petroleum with implementing an HSE Management System for its operations in Ukraine. In addition EPEn has provided HAZID, QRA and HAZOP services to well sites and production plants. These studies have supported Cadogan Petroleum in securing a rigorous production system that is operated within acceptable levels of HSE risks.

SDag Shtokman – Shtokman Project – Carbon Footprint and Life extension study - Russia

EPConsult Energies has worked with SDag and JP Kenny during the FEED phase of the Shtokman project. The main areas where EPEn has provided support are in performing safety, environmental, operational and risk assessment services. The emphasis has been on optimising the design and operational aspects of the offshore and onshore sections of the pipeline; including studying constructability, CO2 emission during implementation and reviewing the possibility of life extension beyond the initial design life.

Petroplus/Fluor – Sulphur Recovery Units at Coryton Refinery – HAZOP and SIL Study – UK

Hazard and Operability (HAZOP) Review and Safety Integrity Level (SIL) Review have been performed for one train of the sulphur recovery facilities at the Petroplus Coryton Refinery. The results of the reviews are applicable for both trains in the new Tail Gas Unit and any modifications made to the existing Sulphur Recovery Units. The primary objective of the project is to increase the overall recovery efficiency of the existing sulphur recovery plants to 99.5%

Total E&P – Conceptual Engineering Flow Assurance Studies for Usan and Carina Projects

EPConsult Energies has supported Total E&P in Paris with a number of Conceptual Engineering projects, through the performance of flow assurance work for African and South American development projects.
