Background and Overview - Pipeline Overview

 5.1km BOC to BOD 26” Wet Gas Pipeline in Northern field of PM3CAA.

 Commissioned in October 2008, with design life of 20 years.

NYSE : TLM | TSX : TLM 2 www.talisman-energy.com

Background and Overview - Key Event Timeline

 Aggressive pipeline corrosion identified in 5 years


since commissioning.
 First 2 inspection revealed no significant indication
 Defects identified to date suggest up to 76% wall loss
(verified as max of 46% WT loss).
 Corrosion areas localized to top of pipe.
 Pipeline will not meet its design life, replacement
decided.

Project Requirements

TOL corrosion • TOL corrosion mitigation by design


Philosophy • Reduce dependency on operational mitigation

Existing • Bends and mid-line spool preventing use 26” pipeline as a carrier pipe for
internal lining / Reinforced Thermo Plastic Pipe solution
System • Space restrictions at BOC preventing topsides modification for inclusion of
Design dehydration and/or cooling systems

• Limited regional experience with supply and installation CRA pipeline


Materials • Partners/Regulators not in favor of using CRA pipe, due to previous
experience within the region

• BOC Bottom riser to BOD Bottom riser


Scope
• Maintain existing riser

Design a replacement carbon steel subsea pipeline with corrosion


protection against the BOC flow conditions with a design life of 20 years

Pipeline Sizing

• Flow assurance effects


o Lower liquid hold-up/content due to higher gas
flowrate sweeping liquids.
o Reduced slugging effect at BOD due to less liquid
hold-up.
Replacement o No significant difference in pressure drop (~1bar) at
pipeline flowing conditions.
specified as 24” o No significant difference in BOD arrival temperature.
rather than 26”
• Additional implications
o Greater availability of materials
o Greater capabilities and availability of inspection
equipment/tooling

Material and Coating - Wall Thickness Selection

• WT between 25.4 mm - 31.8 mm was considered

• 25.4mm wall thickness provides minimum corrosion


allowance of 16.86mm (ASME B31.8) up to 20.32mm
Carbon Steel ; (ASME B31G)
API 5L X65 • Optimum thickness for Inspection capabilities
25.4 mm Wall
Thickness • Higher wall thickness than 25.4mm would introduce
additional challenges
o Inspection tooling capabilities limited to 25.4mm for
accurate monitoring of pipeline wall loss
o Excessive time durations when welding during
offshore installation
o Requirement for PWHT above 31.75 mm (1.25”) WT

Material and Coating - Thermal Insulation

Optimum Insulation Requirements


Need for Thermal Insulation
• 250 ppm of Acetic Acid, Target water
condensation rate < 0.025 g/m2s

• Heat insulation coating with U value of less


than 1.5 W/m2K is required

• However this U value is not readily achievable


or economic using available insulation
To reduce the water materials and application techniques
condensation rate, hence
lowering TOL corrosion rate • Coating system designed to reduce U value to
as close to 1.5 W/m2K as possible for the
given pipeline conditions and design life

Decision was made to select the readily proven system to avoid quality issue

NYSE : TLM | TSX : TLM 8 www.talisman-energy.com

Material and Coating - System Configuration


 Pipeline Coating System Design:
 75 mm Multi Layer Polypropylene (MLPP)
 50 – 75 mm concrete weight coating (for on-bottom stability)
 Injection Mould Polypropylene (IMPP) at FJC and Bends
 Pre-Cast Flange insulation to provide heat insulation at the flange connections

 Achieved U - Value:
 U value of 2.5 W/m2K at pipe body
 U value of 3.2 W/m2K at field joint and bends

 Proven track record available for materials, application and installation

Target U value of 1.5 W/m2K not achieved, however will significantly reduce
condensation rates when compared to the existing pipeline (U value of 16.9 W/m2K)

TOL Corrosion Prediction - Water Condensation Rate

Future 24” Insulated Line Existing 26” Line

Selected Heat Insulation System Provides a Significantly Lower WCR

NYSE : TLM | TSX : TLM 10 www.talisman-energy.com

TOL Corrosion Prediction - Corrosion Rate and Wall Loss

 Prediction made with available 15 years of production data forecast.


 Wall loss upto 14 mm is expected.
 TOL Corrosion mitigation still required to control the TOL corrosion rate further to
ensure pipeline meet design life / for future life extension.

Less stringent TOL corrosion mitigation as compared to the previous requirement

Conclusion

• Considering the TOL corrosion in this pipeline:


– Duplex / CRA clad line is recommended as the main option.
– Is not feasible due to limited regional Contractor experience.
• 24” OD x 25.4 mm Carbon Steel with 75 mm MLPP Heat Insulation
provides optimum solution.
– Install-ability and proven track record.
– Inspect-ability.
– Provides sufficient CA.
– Significantly lower WCR, hence lower TOL Corrosion rate.
– TOL corrosion mitigation by design, lower dependency to operational
mitigation.
• A comprehensive integrity management ensures the pipeline meet its
design life.
