1.2.2 Definitions
Term Definitions
ISO 20815:2008 defines Availability as the “ability of an item to be in a
state to perform a required function under given conditions at a given
instant of time, or on average over a given time interval, assuming that
the required external resources are provided”.
Note: For the scope of this study, availability is defined as the ratio of
the expected average service time which is the total plant design life
minus the assumed scheduled maintenance and calculated unplanned
Availability events down-time divided by the total planned period.
This definitions applies for following objectives :
- availability of 96% for the Plant
- and availability of 96% for the Chemical Injection.

This corresponds to the normative definition of the availability with


consideration of planned shutdowns.

Term Definitions
ISO 20815:2008 defines Reliability as the “ability of an item to perform
a required function under given conditions for a given time interval”.
The reliability of a product or system is the probability that it will be
able to perform its intended function, for a specific time, under
specified operating conditions. Statistical distributions are normally
required to fully describe reliability; however the summary term known
as Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) is normally used.
Note: For the scope of this study, reliability is defined as the ratio of the
Reliability expected average service time which is the total plant design life minus
the calculated unplanned events down-time divided by the total
planned period.
This definition applies for next objectives:
- reliability of 98% for the Plant
- and reliability of 98% for the Glycol Package.

This corresponds to the normative definition of the availability without


consideration of planned shutdowns.
Reliability Availability and Maintainability study. Availability calculations
take into account reliability (failure rate / MTBF) and maintainability
(MTTR) of equipment. RAM study is therefore related to “availability”
RAM Study
calculation. At a system level, maintainability indicators, such as
MTTR, are meaningless. Maintainability and reliability are indicators for
equipment level.
ISO 20815:2008 defines Maintainability as the “(general) ability of an
item under given conditions of use, to be retained in, or restored to, a
state in which it can perform a required function, when maintenance is
performed under given conditions and using stated procedures and
Maintainability resources”. It is the probability that a failed component or system will
be restored to its functioning state, in a given time and in the stated
environment. Like reliability, maintainability is fully described as a
statistical probability, however summary term known as Mean Time To
Repair (MTTR) is used.
Production The production Availability is the ratio of the production to the planned
Availability production over a specified period of time.
Production efficiency is the ratio of average achieved production for a
given period of time to the average planned or required production for
Production the same period. It is an indication of the production volume achieved
Efficiency against target (includes planned shutdowns).
This corresponds to the definition of the “production availability”
without consideration of planned shutdowns.

2. INTRODUCTION
2.1. Context and stakes
PETRONAS Carigali (CARIGALI) has undertaken the development of NC3 and NC8
gas fields located in SK 316 Block.

NC3 and NC8 are located in Block SK 316, approximately 180km North off Bintulu,
Sarawak with water depth ranging between 104m – 107m. NC8 field is located
approximately 7km South East of NC3. The nearby riser facility, E11RC is located
approximately 80km South West of NC3 and has an existing Trunkline 6 (TL6)
connecting E11RC to shore.

NC3 will be made as hub, which will comprise Central Processing Platform (CPP) and
Wellhead Platform (WHP) bridge-linked to it. Another WHP will be installed at NC8 and
NC 8 will be tied-back to NC3 via an inter field subsea pipeline.

NC3 and NC8 gas production is 600 MMSCFD gross for a plateau period of 15 years.
NC3 field will commence production for 5 years prior to NC8 come on stream to
supplement the production rates thereafter. Gas compression facilities shall also be
considered at NC3 in order to maintain the gas export pressure, as the well head
pressure will be getting depleted for lateral years. Gas compressor facilities shall be
located in separate platform which will be bridge linked to NC3 CPP.

Gas from NC3 and NC8 fields are the main feed gas supplier into LNG Plant Train 9
with NC3 expected to be ready for start-up in December 2015.

2.2. Mission perimeter


The perimeter of the RAM comprises:
 NC3 Wellhead Platform (WHP);
 NC8 Wellhead Platform (WHP) ;
 NC3 Central Processing Platform (CPP);
 NC3 WHP gas export pipeline to E11-RC;
 NC8 WHP – NC3 WHP pipeline;
 E11-RC export pipeline to Shore
The NC3 Compression Platform (NC3 CM) is excluded from the scope of work.

Two configurations will be taken into account:


 Early years configuration with production from NC3-WHP only;
 Later years configuration with production from both NC3-WHP and NC8-WHP;

3. OVERALL METHODOLOGY
3.1. Generalities
The RAM study will be conducted in 6 steps:
 Production Availability Diagrams
 Dysfunctional Analysis
 Reliability Data Selection
 Availability Calculation
 Sensitivity Cases
 Final reporting

Figure 1: Presentation of the methodology

The following paragraphs describes the several RAM methodology steps

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


11/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
4. STEP 1: PRODUCTION AVAILABILITY DIAGRAMS
4.1. Objective
The goal of this step is to describe the facilities and identify the equipment/ functions
that shall be included in the RAM study; meaning, the equipment/ functions that have
an impact on process availability during normal operations.

Production Availability Diagrams (PAD) determines the boundaries of the system


under study.

4.2. Method and tools


This first step of the study analyses the redundancy level, the functional links between
the units, in order to determine the consequence on the production availability.

The results are presented on the form of diagrams. The diagram represents functional
interconnection between various equipment, sub-systems or functions to represent the
plant reliability and availability logic.

Dotted box refers to units/functions of the process where a failure does not lead to loss
of gas production. Solid lines boxes refer to units or functions where a failure can have
an impact on production availability. When a description of the system is available, as
the architecture or module capacities, that information is given and indicated on the
diagrams.

These diagrams represent the gas production on initial years and later years from well
production to NC3 CPP. Drain and Vent on NC3 WHP have a negligible impact on
availability.

After start-up of NC8 WHP, gas production will be divided between the two fields
(NC3 and NC8 – 300MMSCF). The NC8 WHP has its own utilities.

Figure 4: NC3 CPP functional analysis

These diagrams represent the NC3 CPP gas production. Condensate production and
water treatment have only a slight impact on gas production and have been excluded
from the scope of work. The gas production consists of well stream cooling (2*50%),
slug receiver (1*100%), glycol contactor (1*100%), gas metering (3*50%).

Glycol contactor and its glycol regeneration will be modeled as there is a reliability
objective on this unit.

As, the compression unit is outside scope, there is no difference between early years
and later years for the NC3 CPP.

Some utilities that have an impact on gas production availability will be modeled as
fuel gas system, nitrogen system, instrument air system, diesel fuel system, methanol
injection, corrosion inhibitor injection, scale inhibitor injection, flare and vent systems.

5. STEP 2: DYSFUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
5.1. Objective
The purpose of the dysfunctional analysis is to identify failures and to organize them
into a hierarchy depending on their severities and impact on availability.

The objectives of this analysis are to:


 identify all the equipment’s failures which can lead to production losses;
 identify the production losses and potential compensating measures;
 select equipment that are modeled in next step (RAM model);
 propose if necessary compensatory measures in order to reduce the criticality
in terms of conception, exploitation and maintenance;
5.2. Method
For each function/units identified in the PAD, a systematic analysis is conducted:
 identification of the equipment’s;
 identification of equipment’s failure modes;
 and assessment of the effects (on production) associated with those failures.

The results are presented on the form of a table which describes:


 Functions / sub-functions / units;
 Equipment’s and their tag;
 Impact without mitigation.
 Mitigation; and
 Effects

5.3. Tables
Dysfunctional analyses table are available in Appendix 1.

6. STEP 3: SELECTION OF RELIABILITY DATA AND
ASSUMPTIONS
6.1. Overall Assumptions
 Intrinsic failures: The RAM study shall take into account the intrinsic failures
of the system.

 Life time considered: Lifetime considered shall be operating lifetime of the


facilities including maintenance time. Components are to be supposed to have
a life time guaranteed exceeding the lifetime of the facilities. Systems shall not
be studied in other periods (commissioning, transportation, tests …). The life
time considered for this study is 14 years (until 2029).

 Production cases: Two production cases are analyzed: a first case with NC3
production of 600 MMSCFD until 2020, and a second case with 300 MMSCFD
from NC3 + 300 MMSCFD from NC8 until 2029.

 Human factor: Human error is not taken into account within the study as it
difficult to assess. The operating staff shall be supposed to be present and
qualified to operate the facilities, well trained and in a good physical condition.

 Early-Life factor: No factor shall take into account inexperience of operation. It


depends on a lot of parameters (previous experience of the operator, novelty of
the design, training of operators, and quality of the commissioning…) and is not
related to architecture / reliability of components.

 Equipment design: All the equipment shall be supposed correctly designed


regarding all applicable standards and shall be supposed correctly installed.

 Rare events: Rare events not directly linked with a physical random
phenomenon intrinsic to plant’s components (that are phenomenon modeled in
RAM study) shall not be modeled (e.g.: fire, pipe rupture, corrosion supposed
dealt with by design; dropped object faults…). These events shall be
considered as analyzed and correctly covered in other studies like QRA.

 Temporary equipment: Temporary equipment, for example temporary


strainers shall not be taken into account.

 Planned Maintenance: A planned shutdown frequency of once per year have


been modeled with production interruption of one week.

 Planned Events: Full ESD is planned every 6 months and will have a duration
of 8 hours.

 Failure Modes: The failure modes taken into account in this study are only
critical failure modes provided in the databooks with the exception of the two
distillation columns C-9500 and C-9501 (Glycol Package) for which the
degraded modes have been taken into account.

16/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
6.2. Assumption per units
6.2.1 Wellhead Platform
The wellhead platform (WHP) process system typically comprises of the flowlines,
production manifold and the gas export launcher facilities.

The expected gas production is 600 MMSCFD gross.

For the RAM study, next assumptions have taken into account.

Initial years from 2016 to Later years from 2021 to


2020 (5 years) 2030 (10 years)
Number of NC3 wells 4 4
NC3 Production 600 MMSCFD 300 MMSCFD
NC3 well redundancy 4*25% 4*25%
Number of NC8 wells 0 4
NC8 Production 0 MMSCFD 300 MMSCFD
NC8 well redundancy 0 4*25%
Table 5: Wellhead configuration

Future wells for NC3 and NC8 (up to 6 wells for each configuration) have not been
taken into account as the modeled design is the most conservative.

6.2.2 Wellhead Platform Utilities


Pigging Operation has been taken into account in the RAM study.Pigging activities will
reduce the flow to 50%. The frequency is 3 months and duration is 8 hours.

Closed and Open drain systems, as much as the Flare & vent systems, have not been
taken into account as a failure of these systems will have minor impact on production.

6.2.3 Central Processing Platform Description


The function of the central processing platform (CPP) is to receive FWS from the NC8/
NC3 WHP, and provide onward transmission to MLNG plant onshore after undergoing
a series of phase separation, dehydration and compression (later years).

6.2.4 Gas Cooling facility in CPP


Gas cooling facilities are provided for both FWS from NC3 and NC8. The cooling
facility is designed to handle 600 MMSCFD of FWS with 2*50% branches. In case of
loss of one branch, the branch can be isolated and the production can proceed at
50%.

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


17/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
6.2.5 Gas / Liquid Separation
For gas/liquid separation, Slug Receiver vessel will provide bulk separation of
gas/liquid from the FWS received. Gas from the Slug Receiver is routed to the
dehydration system while liquid will flow to the 3‐Phase Condensate/ Water Separator.

6.2.6 Condensate Treatment


For condensate treatment, the condensate outlet of the Condensate/ Water separator
will be routed to the Tilted Plate Separator while water will be sent to the Produced
Water Treatment System. Condensate from the Tilted Plate Separator will flow to the
Condensate Coalescer for further removal of water carryover.

Water separated from the Condensate Coalescer will also be sent to the Produced
Water Treatment System. Dewatered condensate is pumped by Condensate Export
Pumps, after which it is mixed with the export gas. The Condensate Export Pumps will
spike dewatered condensate into gas export pipeline.

In the RAM study the condensate treatment have been taken into account with next
assumptions. The condensate treatment can handle condensate if:

 3-Phase separator is available,

 OR if Tilted Plate Separator and Coalescer are available.

In case of unavailability of the condensate treatment, the high high level (HHL) limit
will be reached in the Slug Receiver and Gas production will be stopped (after 90
minutes of condensate production stoppage).

6.2.7 Gas compression


Gas compression and Mercury Removal Unit have has been excluded from the scope
of work.

6.2.8 Glycol Dehydration System


The Glycol Dehydration System function is to dehydrate gas before export. Gas
dehydration should be negligible.

The two glycol make-up pumps are modeled in a 2*50% configuration. The two
circulation pumps are modeled in a 2*100% configuration.

6.2.9 Gas Export


The Gas flow through the Gas Metering Skid and is export to MLNG.

6.2.10 CPP Utilities


Chemical Injection consists of methanol injection, corrosion inhibitor injection or scale
inhibitor injection. A typical chemical injection unit has been modeled. Chemical
injection systems consist of a storage tanks and chemical injection pumps (2*100%).

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


18/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
In WHP, methanol injection facility is provided to prevent hydrate formation
downstream of choke valve. Scaling inhibitor is injected at the WHP to prevent the
scale due to water.

Power Generation is modeled with 3 Power Turbines (3*50%). The turbines can use
Fuel Gas or Diesel Gas to provide energy to the platform.

Diesel system and Fuel Gas system have been modeled. Total Fuel Gas demand is
10 MMSCFD, the main source is SDV-6001 (90%). In case of loss of the Fuel Gas
System, the Diesel system can be used. Detail analysis of failures of the Diesel
system is indicated in Appendix 1.

Drain systems, as much as Flare systems have not been modeled.

7.3. Plant reliability and availability
7.3.1 Plant availability and availability per units
Detailed results of the availability calculation are indicated in the Table 7.

Unit Availability Comments


NC3 WH Capacity 99,97% FWS availability at NC3 WH output

consideration of planned events shutdowns
Table 7: Availability per unit

The production availability of the plant is 96.94%. This figure corresponds to the ratio
between production versus planned production and includes planned shutdowns,
pigging activities and ESD Tests.

The availability of the plant is 97.27%. This figure means that the plant is available
97.27% of the time, meaning able to produce gas (above 0% production). This figure
takes into account that production is only carried out by NC3 between 2015 and 2020
and that production is carried by both WHP NC3 and NC8 between 2021 and 2030.

The availability objective (96%) of the plant is fulfilled by the design.

The reliability of the plant is 99.16% (it corresponds to the production availability
without consideration of planned events shutdowns).

The reliability objective (98%) of the plant is fulfilled by the design.

One important element to take into consideration regarding the reliability is the number
of times when the system will reach 0% of gas production. The analysis from Petri
Nets and Monte-Carlo simulation estimation is that during 15 years, the system will

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


22/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
produce 0% of the gas production at 41 occasions. A rough estimation is that a gas
production stoppage occur around 2.7 times every year.

7.3.2 Production availability over the years


The production availability/efficiency varies over the time especially when NC8 comes
into operation (see Figure 5).

Figure 5: Production availability between 2016 and 2030

After start-up of NC8, the mean production availability decreases. This is due to NC8
WHP Utilities which insert new possible failures into the system. However, in case of
NC8 failure, gas production is still ensured by NC3 (300 MMSCFD – 50% of gas
production).

7.4. Criticality Analysis (plant availability)


7.4.1 Main units
The main causes of the unavailability can be extracted from results of the Table 7,
Major contributors (highlighted with red) are:

 NC8 Utilities that includes Power Generation and Air Instrument Unit;
 NC3 CPP Well Stream Cooling Unit;
 NC3 CPP Gas Dehydration Unit;
 NC3 CPP Utilities ;

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


23/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
7.4.2 NC8 Utilities
The Power Generation in NC8 is reliable due to the multiple power sources (Diesel
Unit / EDG / Source from NC3 CPP).

The unavailability of NC8 WHP Utilities is caused by the Air Instrument unit. As Air
compressors / Air dryers are redundant, unavailability is coming from air receivers V-
5470 and V-5500.

7.4.3 NC3 Utilities


The conclusions for the NC8 utilities can be applied for NC3 utilities. The Unavailability
is mainly due to the air receiver.

7.4.4 NC3 Full Well Stream Cooling


This unit is composed of two branches (2*50%) with two exchangers on each branch.
The reliability of this unit is 99.84% with no consideration of planned events
shutdowns.

Output Configuration Proportion of time


100% of the output 2 branches available 99.70%
50% of the output 1 branch available 0.28%
0% of the output 0 branch available 0.02%
Table 8: Proportion of time at each production case

This unit will produce 50% of the output if one exchanger in one of the two branches is
in failure and/or maintenance.

The unit will produce 0% of the output if the two branches are unavailable. However,
the main contributor to this production case is a failure of the SDV-2006.

Note: The maintenance of well stream coolers will be optimized in order to be


performed during plant shutdowns and may have a positive impact on
availability (SAIPEM).

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


24/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
7.4.5 Gas Dehydration
In the Gas dehydration unit, the main contributor the unavailability is the glycol
contactor which has a failure rate of 9.2E-05. An extract of the OREDA-02 with
reliability data of this item is reproduced below.

Figure 6: Reliability data for the contactor

7.5. Glycol system availability and reliability


7.5.1 Glycol Package Availability
The glycol availability can be represented over the years.

Figure 7: Glycol package availability

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


25/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
The mean glycol package availability is 98.22%. This figure does not take into account
the planned shutdowns and corresponds to the Glycol Package reliability objective
(see definitions in §1.2.2 and §Erreur ! Source du renvoi introuvable.).

This corresponds to 2340 hours of unavailability on 15 years whether approximately 7


days per year.

The reliability objective (96%) of the Glycol package is fulfilled by the design.

7.5.2 Criticality Analysis


The major contributors to the unavailability are:

 Column C-9500 for 40%;


 Column C-9501 for 40%;
 Exchanger E-9506 for 4%;
 Exchanger E-9506 for 4%.

In order to increase the availability for this unit, the attention should be given to the
distillation columns C-9500 / C-9501. For these columns, reliability data issued from
OREDA-02 are indicated hereafter.

Figure 8: reliability data for distillation column (OREDA-02)

For these two components, there is no critical failure mode identified for the distillation
columns. The identified failure modes in the OREDA are only degraded failure modes
which prevent the system from providing its output within specifications. Such a failure
would usually, but not necessarily, be gradual or partial, a may develop into a critical
failure.

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


26/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
The MTTR is mainly due the “structural deficiency” failure mode with 380 hours of
maintenance time.

Recommendation: One assumption of this RAM study is to take into account only
critical failure modes for the different components. As this data is not available for
distillation columns, degraded failure modes have been taken into account
(conservative approach). A sensitivity case can be created without these two columns
in order to be consistent between the failure mode taken into account for all the
components.

7.6. Chemical injection availability


7.6.1 Availability
The Chemical Injection availability can be represented over the years (see Figure 9).
The same model has been used for Corrosion Inhibitor, Scale Inhibitor and Methanol
Injection.

Figure 9: Chemical Injection Availability

The mean value for Chemical Injection Availability is 99.86%. This figure does not take
into account a planned event shutdown for preventive maintenance. With a planned
event shutdown of 1 week each year, the availability reaches 97.95%.

The availability objective of 96% for the Chemical Injection is fulfilled.

No impact on gas production has been implemented since chemical injections are
used only for start-up and/or intermittent operation.

Bureau Veritas - SK316 Development Project RAM Study


27/37 Ref : WB/WB/CB859/2613269/13/R/063/3
7.6.2 Criticality Analysis
After planned events shutdowns, the main contributors to the unavailability are the
tanks and the valve at the injection point.

 Tank T-6810 for 39%;


 Tank T-6811 for 39%;
 Injection point for 21%.

8. CONCLUSION
This RAM Study of the SK316 Development RAM Project has been conducted in 4
steps.

First, a functional analysis has been conducted to identify functions and units that
should be assessed in the next phase of the study (see Step 1: Production Availability
Diagrams).

Then, a dysfunctional analysis has been conducted to identify components that may
jeopardize the gas production. This analysis is presented in Appendix (see Step 2:
Dysfunctional Analysis).

The 3rd step has consisted to identify and list assumptions for the study (see Step 3:
Selection of reliability data and assumptions).

The 4th step has allowed modeling the NC3 WHP, the NC8 WHP and the NC3 CPP to
calculate RAM indicators and to compare these indicators to RAM objectives (see
Step 4: Availability Analysis).

The results are:
