41 st Gas-Lift Workshop Houston, Texas, USA June 3 - 7, 2019 Gas Lift Validation Needs and Requirements for Deepwater • Steven Freeman • Eli Adams • Wayne Mabry June 3 - 7, 2019 Gas-Lift Workshop 1

Where is the need? Project only economical with Gas Lift • Location 150 miles

Where is the need? Project only economical with Gas Lift • Location 150 miles southeast of New Orleans • Subsea well head 4, 000 Ft water • Desired analogue – BHP @ 23 Ksi – BHT @ 350˚F – PKR- KB/MD @ 26 K FT – 5. 5” tubing & 4. 5” – 30 year well life – 8 -10 MMUSD to pull GLV June 3 - 7, 2019 Gas-Lift Workshop 2

Gas Lift Capabilities in 2012 Back Checks rated to TR 2385 requirements & API

Gas Lift Capabilities in 2012 Back Checks rated to TR 2385 requirements & API • Design for 10 Ksi back check at max rated design temperature • 1 back check unit tested for validation – 20 cc leak rate over 10 minute hold minimum – Ambient back pressure validation testing & at max temp – Max pressure validation testing & at max temp – Liquid flow testing – Gas Flow rate testing – Testing is in sequence as stated in TR 2385 • Validation testing often not witnessed by Statoil staff • Validation of TR 2385 is accepted by Shell for Dry Tree projects June 3 - 7, 2019 Gas-Lift Workshop 3

Deepwater Gas Lift Validation Requirements • Control document that establishes the requirements for Shell’s

Deepwater Gas Lift Validation Requirements • Control document that establishes the requirements for Shell’s subsea gas lift kit: – Side Pocket Mandrel-SPM – Flow Control Devices, Non-Metallics & Latches – Intervention tools • The requirements in this document may exceed the current requirements in the API 19 G series documents. In case of any deviation between this document and the API 19 G series documents, this document shall supersede the requirements for vendors to use. • Work along side suppliers providing expertise when necessary • Witness 100% of development, testing & manufacturing • Require API 19 G 1, 2, 3 & Q 1 qualification from supplier June 3 - 7, 2019 Gas-Lift Workshop 4

Why Create a Deepwater Gas Lift Control Document • Project Cost – Est. to

Why Create a Deepwater Gas Lift Control Document • Project Cost – Est. to drill & complete subsea well 75 -100 MM USD – Est. cost to pull subsea tubing 20 MM USD – Recomplete upper completion 25 MM USD • Dependence on gas lift to be economical – Subsea well cost makes ALS desirable from day 1 • Intervention cost for ALS systems in Subsea – Increased reliability & run life is the need – Decreased intervention frequency adds value June 3 - 7, 2019 Gas-Lift Workshop 5

Deepwater Gas Lift Control Document’s Achievement • Design Validation Process • Prototype Phase Requirements

Deepwater Gas Lift Control Document’s Achievement • Design Validation Process • Prototype Phase Requirements • Establishes Design methodology • • General design requirements • Project specific data provided Locks design & provides required validation testing necessary to satisfy project requirements. – FCDs- successful testing of 3 units with out fail or redress • Differential test at ambient & well conditions • Dictates involvement of end user’s experts with supplier • Long duration flow test of well specific SG at well temperature • Liquid unloading test • Long duration chattering test • Software required • Full FEA review • Required materials & banned • Full CFD review • API monogram • Technical specifications – • Vendor requirements • Testing requirements & validation process • Quality expectations • Audits • Establish manufacturing requirements Final June 3 - 7, • 2019 reports – – SPM- successful testing of 1 unit from required material • Full FEA review to ASME VII. Div 3 & strain gauge test • Welding WPS, with heat treatment established Intervention Tools- Successful design acceptance to API 19 G • Establishes in-well SIT acceptance • API monogram Non-metallics-establish life expectancy of non-metallics • Long term testing with: Thermo Chemical, Mechanical, Cyclical • Temperature • Well pressure, • Well fluids • Chemicals 2019 Gas-Lift Workshop 6

The Next Step of the Control Document • All well specific and end user

The Next Step of the Control Document • All well specific and end user data has been removed • Permission granted to turn over document to API 19 G committee • Desire to see document utilized by 19 G in a capacity beneficial to the gas lift community. • Hope to see document referred to as “Wayne Mabry’s Magnum Opus” June 3 - 7, 2019 Gas-Lift Workshop 7
