Case Study: Life Extension
Work Type: Pipeline System Life Extension
​
Client: Total E&P UK
Field: FUKA
Introduction
​
Crondall staff have performed 2 related studies for FUKA in connection with system life extension. text text
​
The Challenge
​
Crondall Energy was asked to develop and then apply an open-ended process to determine the constraints on ultimate life on the FUKA system. An assessment of the various 3rd party systems that tie-in to FUKA via subsea connections was also required.
​
The Methodology
​
A 3-phase approach was developed where phase 1 considered the assessment methodology, phase 2 determined the current condition of the pipeline and phase 3 looked at the future condition of the pipeline. The work involved liaising with the third-party operators requesting data and then performing an assessment of the risk of loss of containment from these systems.
​
The Results
​
Recommendations were made to enable the FUKA pipeline system to operate for a substantial period past its design life. **ALL TEXT TO BE REVIEWED** **NOT READY FOR EXTERNAL SCRUTINY**
