CVC System
3.5.7.1 General
The Cameron Vertical Connection (CVC) System is used to make pressure tight connections between
subsea production systems such as FLETs, PLETs, manifolds and trees. The CVC system is based on
female vertically oriented mechanical collet connectors that make up to male vertical hubs integral to
subsea systems. The connectors are assembled to the ends of a jumper and a CVC Running Tool is
mounted to each connector. The flowline and running tool are deployed via a spreader beam providing a
single point lift. Once landed, the connector is mechanically locked or unlocked by the CVC Running Tool
in separate operations. The CVC Running Tool incorporates all the hydraulic functions required to
position and connect the connector. The OneSubsea CVC system design is based on a guidelineless
installation and ROV operation.
A spreader beam supports the pipe and connector/running tool assembly and provides a single point lift.
Once the connector is landed onto the hubs/receiver structure, the connector can be locked onto the hub
by using the CVC Running Tool.
To minimise capital investment in an array of different size running tools, the system is designed around a
common interface between the connector and the CVC tool that accommodates connector sizes ranging
from 6”-10K to 12”-5K and design pressures up to 15,000 psi.
The CVC Running Tool has a freedom of movement, within it of +/- 3°. This allows the CVC Running Tool
to align to a receiver structure as it lands without deflecting the spool. The male hubs are structurally
The rings on the receiver structures also aid in the removal of the CVC Running Tools with a quick
release action. Once the tools begin to be lifted the lower funnel and alignment portion of the CVC tools
raise above the lower ring on the receiver structure freeing the tool once again to pivot. This prevents the
tools from becoming jammed or stuck on the receiver structure.
The term misalignment is also used to refer to vertical orientation. This might be the angle that a hub is at
relative to vertical. Generally this is an anticipated misalignment, because it is reflected in the metrology
and the spool piece would be fabricated to incorporate these angles. This type of misalignment of up to 7
degrees has been qualified on the CVC System.
TENDERER CVC connector is a mechanical collet connector comprised of a body, collet segments,
actuator ring, secondary lock rods, top plate and outer body ring. The connector body provides an integral
“AX” type tapered gasket prep inlaid with 625 to accept a metal sealing spherical gasket. A butt-weld prep
is provided on the backside of the body for welding directly to the jumper pipe. The connector is locked to
the mating hub by stroking the actuator ring to the locked position. Once locked, an O-ring on the gasket
located outside of the gasket metal seal provides a secondary barrier against hydrostatic pressure and
serves as a means to seal against external pressure due to water depth. A test port between the gasket
metal-to-metal seal and ‘O’ ring allows the gasket to be tested externally to verify the metal-to-metal seal.
The post-installation gasket test is performed via a separate ROV panel connected to either a hard piped
jumper, or a gooseneck pipe.
The actuator ring is operated by the CVC Running Tool that incorporates all the required hydraulic
functions. Thus, no hydraulic components are left subsea and the cost of hydraulics is shifted to the tool
where it can be amortized across all connections. This also allows the hydraulic components to be
retrieved and reworked as required after each connection.
CVC connectors incorporate a secondary lock to ensure the connector remains locked in the event
friction forces are diminished. Additionally, the running tool provides a mechanical override interface that
allows the connector to be unlocked in the event the CVC Running Tool loses hydraulic function.
TENDERER CVC System designed is based on a common running tool interface for 4”- 10K to 12”-6.5K
connectors. This significantly minimizes the capital outlay invested in connection tools and hydraulic
systems required to make up multiple connection sizes. This also allows potential rental arrangements for
CVC tools.
A summarised list of notes about and features of the CVC Connector are as follows:
• The connector body provides an integral “AX” type tapered gasket prep inlaid with Alloy 625 to
accept a metal sealing spherical gasket.
• A butt-weld prep is provided on the backside of the body for welding a pup piece or directly to the
jumper pipe.
• A test port is available to allow for external post-installation testing of the gasket.
• The connector incorporates a secondary lock to ensure the connector remains locked in the
event friction forces are diminished. These locks incorporate a mechanical override device.
The CVC Gooseneck Connector is a CVC Connector modified for use as the end connection of a flexible
jumper/flowline. They include a standard CVC connector with an induction bent pipe that typically
terminates in either an API # 900 flange or Grayloc connector hub. The CVC Gooseneck Connector has
an ROV panel with hot stab receptacle and quarter-turn 15ksi rated ball valve mounted to the pipe
allowing for the connector’s gasket to be tested directly via ROV. The CVC Gooseneck Connector is
designed for installation with the CVC Running Tool requiring no additional installation procedures.
A summarized list of notes about and features of the S-AX Gasket are as follows:
connector to be landed in a controlled manner without rig motion affecting connector make up.
• As the tool engages onto the Receiver Structure/Hub, the collet connector is designed to allow
proper make-up with up to 7 degrees from vertical
• As the tool soft-lands the connector, a latch engages the hub receiver structure and allows
hydraulic force to be applied to pull the connector down and correct angular misalignments of 3º if
required
• Includes an ROV panel that can be installed at different locations depending on the field layout.
• In the event of hydraulic failure of the tool the connector cannot be dropped due to mechanical
engagement latches
• Mechanical Secondary Lock Rods on the CVC connectors are driven into position with ROV
torque buckets located on the tool
Tool Envelope:
• 55.5 in [1412 mm] diameter
• 13ft [4 m] high (with soft landing cylinders retracted)
• 11 ft [3.36 m] high (with soft landing cylinders extended)
• Weight: ~ 5 tons [4536 kg].
The primary purpose of the Seal Removal/Replacement Tool is to remove and replace an S-AX gasket in
a flowline connector in one operation.
A summarized list of notes about and features of the Seal Removal/Replacement Tool are as follows:
• Designed to remove and replace an S-AX gasket simultaneously.
• Detent ring is designed to remove the old gasket from the connector.
• Spring-loaded retainers release the new gasket onto the flowline hub.
• Protective skirt designed to protect the new gasket from getting scratched during operation.
• ROV fly-to-place.
A summarised list of notes about and features of the CVC Hub Cleaning Tool are as follows:
• ROV fly-to-place
• Entirely ROV operated, no additional equipment required
• Replaceable cleaning medium
• Safe cleaning leaving no damage
A summarised list of notes about and features of the CVC Pressure Cap are as follows:
• Rated for full working pressure of the CVC Hub
• ROV operated via standard hot stab and quarter-turn ball valve
• Surface installed and subsea retrievable
• Requires down line and ROV assistance for retrieval
• Allows for chemical injection and fluid retention
• Built-in cathodic protection
Pressure Cap Connectors are a blind CVC connector and comply with the
same sealing requirements as the CVC connectors. The Pressure Cap
Connector uses welded pipe end caps to allow their future conversion to
jumper tie-in connectors if required. The included ROV panel allows for
applying pressure to the bore, injecting chemicals, and testing the integrity of
the MTM seal. Pressure Cap Connectors require the use of the CVC Running
Tool to install, but may be installed prior to deployment of the manifolds,
trees, and flowline end terminations. Pressure Caps Connectors are not to be
pressured up beyond their working pressure when used for hydrostatic
testing of subsea structures.
A summarized list of notes about and features of the CVC Pressure Cap
Connector are as follows:
• Two ports on bottom flange, allows the filling of the connector body with fluid while bleeding the
air out simultaneously.
• Simple bolt-on attachment to the Jumper Fabrication Stand.
Load Testing
The connector and hub are manufactured to production geometries with end mounts that will allow the
connection to be made up and loads can be applied. The following table illustrates the various loading
scenarios performed as part of a connector’s qualification process:

NOTES:
The upstream ends of infield umbilicals between the different drill centres and the up-/downstream ends
of infield umbilicals between to SDA/UTAs and production/water injection trees will be terminated with
UTHs. The UTHs allow ROV made-up “fly-to-place” connection of the umbilicals to the inboard stabplates
on the subsea structures (SDA/UTAs). For further information about the location of UTHs in the system
field layout please refer to the block diagram in section 3.5.1.3 Field Layout.
NOTE: All infield umbilicals will be supplied by others and are not part of Tenderers scope of supply.
The UTHs will be permanently attached to the umbilicals and will provide the termination of the electrical,
hydraulic and chemical umbilical services. The design includes mounting positions for the electrical cable
termination assemblies and the mounting positions for the outboard hydraulic/chemical Stab Plates.
• Termination Head
• Compliance Section
• Laydown Head/Split Barrel assembly (Armor Pod)
• Cathodic protection
• Stab Plate for direct connection to the subsea structure
• Electrical FACTs including output connectors for the connection of EFLs
In general, the UTH designs shall take into consideration the following:
• Handling during umbilical spooling operations, during on-deck operations, during installation and
during contingency operations;
• Umbilical packing and sea-fastening during transport;
• Umbilical characteristics (such as maximum allowable tensile load, MBR, umbilical termination
interface general arrangement, etc);
• Subsea marking requirements;
• The design of each UTH shall allow first end and second end deployment.
Tenderer proposes the use of UTH assemblies consisting of UTH head, Compliant Section and Laydown
Head/Split Barrel assembly.
The umbilical tubing is terminated in the UTH. The UTH assembly will be designed to ensure that the
deployment, handling, installation and/or retrieval loads transmitted through the tubing (e.g. from clump
weights, umbilical self-weight, etc.) are not transferred to the mono-couplings mounted on the ROV
Outboard Stab Plate.
A set of Bend Restrictors shall provide protection for the umbilical tubing, attached to the Termination
Head and Umbilical Interface and shall ensure that the umbilical tubing is not bent more than the
allowable MBR.
The cathodic protection shall be provided to the UTH by the hosting structures (SDA, UTAs, etc.).
NOTE: Tenderer proposes the use of UTHs supplied by Deep Down Inc. (DDI) or Oceaneering. However,
Tenderer does reserve the right to substitute to equipment from any other supplier during project
execution, providing that the requirements specified are met.
The umbilical tubing is welded to the UTH tubing in the UTH. Due to bending restrictions within the UTH,
the tubing between the Stab-Plate-coupler and umbilical tube stub shall be realized through transition
tubing.
Inboard of the Laydown Head/Split Barrel assembly, the individual tubes of the umbilicals will be broken
out, and connected to the transition tubes (incorporated in the compliant section). The transition tubes are
routed to the stabplate on the UTH head. This stabplate is then connected to the inboard stabplate on the
dedicated subsea structure.
NOTE: Adaptors for welding the UTH tubing to the umbilical tubing and the relevant welding activities
shall be part of the umbilical supplier’s scope of supply.
Stab Plates
Each UTH incorporates an Outboard Stab Plate which connects to an Inboard Stab Plate mounted on a
subsea structure (SDA, UTA or Tree).
The Termination Head and is operated by the ROV, via the Flying Lead Orientation Tool (FLOT). The
ROV will operate the mechanical connection device using an API 17D class 4 torque tool.
Electrical FACTs
The umbilical power and communications cables are terminated within the UTA by individual field
assembly cable terminations (FACTs). The FACTs also provide the mounted electrical output connectors.
The cable termination assembly shall provide a high integrity testable chamber for splicing the umbilical
conductors to the conductors from the electrical connector. Oil filled hose shall provide the connection
between the chamber and the electrical connector, with the hose providing compensation for the
chamber.
The hydraulic and chemical umbilical lines will be terminated to transfer hydraulic and chemical supplies
between the subsea units within the development.
Inboard of the Laydown Head/Split Barrel assembly, the individual tubes of the umbilicals will be broken
out, and routed via transition tubes (incorporated in the compliant section) to the stabplate on the UTH
head. This stabplate is then connected to the inboard stabplate on the dedicated subsea structure.
The electrical cable termination assemblies (FACTs) will be either located inside the UTH head or inside
the Laydown Head/Split Barrel assembly.
This design is adoptable to the different structure layouts considering potential space
restrictions/constraints (shape, position, etc.) and installation requirements. The construction of the UTH
shall be chosen in order to limit the bending moment at the ROV bucket.
Version 1:
Version 2:
• UTH head assembly (without electrical FACTS); small buoyancy module to be added as
appropriate
• Compliant Section
• Laydown Head/Split Barrel assembly incorporating the electrical FACTs, the termination of the
umbilical and its hydraulic/chemical lines
Installation
The installation of each UTH is considered to be performed using a dedicated spreader bar. The spreader
bar will be connected to UTH head and the Laydown Head/Split Barrel Assembly. Additionally the
compliant section will be supported (please refer to setup picture below). This arrangement will prevent
the complete assembly to be twisted.
1. Installation of the UTH is performed using a spreader bar connected to the installation padeyes
on the termination head, compliance section and armor pod/umbilical flange.
2. Installation of the UTH must remain horizontal. If bending occurs additional moments will be
applied to the UTH padeyes which may cause failure.
4. Once the UTH assembly is on site subsea the ROV will have to navigate the UTH near to the
structure where it is to be connected to.
5. Orientate and place the laydown head/armor pod on the seabed so that the UTH assy can be
maneuvered between a suitable fixed mounted parking plate and the fixed inboard plate on the
target structure.
6. The spreader bar should then be disconnected from the UTH assy.
7. The ROV will then navigate the UTH assy into the desired fixed inboard plate on the target
structure.
8. Once the UTH assy is connected to the fixed interface plate, complete the installation by
connecting the EFLs from the UTH to the structure mounted electrical bulkhead connectors.
Generally, the ROV shall remove the cover from the selected inboard stab plate on the target structure
and shall place it on a subsea parking position or ROV basket.
If buoyancy has not been used as part of the installation process, buoyancy modules suitable for the
weight of the UTH shall be fitted. However, weight of UTH shall be minimized and the design of the UTH
and the Umbilical should be in “balanced” condition, so that the UTH structure is more stable in water.
The ROV shall then connect the Subsea Umbilical Termination Head using the FLOT.
Afterwards; the ROV shall remove each of the Electrical Flying Leads in turns and install the EFLs into
the appropriate operational positions.
The ROV stabilization shall be done via “Grab Bars” on the relevant Host structures (UTA). The grab bars
shall be designed in accordance with ISO 13628-8. The sizes of each “Grab Bar” shall be detailed in the
relevant component package.
The UTH shall be designed to minimize the in-place loads and installation loads at the considered
installation height.
The downstream ends of the main and the infield umbilicals between the drill centres will be terminated to
UTAs. The infield umbilicals transferring chemical, hydraulic, power and communication supplies from the
SDA/UTAs to the production and water injection trees will be terminated on one ends with UTHs.
The UTAs will be landed on an interface structures mounted to a mud mat and be separately retrievable
from a dedicated interface frame.
Each electrical umbilical cable will be terminated in a dedicated FACT assembly. The FACT assemblies
are providing the sea water barrier and provide the interface to oil-filled hose assemblies that are directly
terminated at the UTA electrical bulkhead connectors. The electrical bulkhead connectors are equipped
with female contacts. All output connectors are provided with Long Term Covers (LTCs).
Tenderer has selected 3 different frame sizes for the Greater Enfield UTAs. These sizes are based on
Tenderers standardisation program for UTA frames that enables a cost effective manufacturing of the
equipment and minimises the engineering efforts due to the reduced number of different sizes.
Within the standardisation program basically three different ranges are available:
The following ranges are considered for the Greater Enfield UTAs:
Installation Requirements
The mud mat mounted UTA interface frame shall facilitate service as the initiation point of the umbilical
installation for first-end lay. The UTA shall be landed on the previously installed foundation structure.
The design of the UTA shall be performed considering the installation method and equipment, e.g. lay
vessel layout/facilities, carousel or reel lay, max opening of tensioners, deployment method, etc.
The UTA shall be equipped with pad-eyes and yoke for installation and shall be designed taking into
account all anticipated installation loads, e.g. Umbilical weight, vessel heave, hydrodynamic loading,
lowering through splash zone etc.
Tenderer proposes one Subsea Distribution Assembly (SDA) for the Greater Enfield project. For the
purposes of the project, the SDA comprises of the following sub-elements:
The SDA is forming the interface point between the Main UTA (MUTA) and the infield UTAs. The SDA is
connected to the MUTA via Hydraulic Flying Lead (HFL) and Electrical Flying Leads (EFLs).
The SDA will be equipped with two non-retrievable Electrical Distribution Units (EDUs): EDU A & EDU B.
The EDUs are designed to distribute electrical power and communication to the different production tree
and water injection tree SCMs and to route electrical power and communication via infield umbilicals to
the next drill center.
The EDU housing will be a dielectric oil-filled and pressure compensated enclosure. The EDU connectors
are fitted with long term protective covers.
• 1 off 7-way male bulkhead connector for electrical power and communication line input
• 5 off 7-way female bulkhead connectors for electrical power and communication line outputs to
the tree SCMs and the infield UTHs
Tenderer has based its proposal on utilising MSCM supplied steel tube HFLs. However, Tenderer
reserves the right to consider alternative vendors approved for this development that can supply similar
components compliant with project specifications.
In the event that an alternative vendor is selected the design and construction of the HFL may vary.
Tenderer's proposal is based on the following configurations of HFLs between SDA/UTAs and Trees.
*The lengths of the HFLs are based on the lengths derived from the ITT which shall be considered
provisional and are to be confirmed during detail design.
Length changes during the project execution phase may result in cost and/or schedule impact.
The HFLs will consist of steel tube lines with the following sizes (the umbilical lines are added as a
reference):

The types of hydraulic stab plates and connections used within the Subsea hydraulic system shall be
capable of make-up and disconnect Subsea with full hydraulic differential pressure across the connection.
The system design shall ensure that no stab plates or hydraulic connection can be hydraulically locked
during subsea make-up or disconnect.
In order to cater for installation of the ROV hydraulic flying lead jumpers, the stab plates supplied shall
incorporate a structural interface to the flying lead strain relief/clamp that allows the entire flying lead
weight to be supported from the coupler plate.
MQC Stabplates
The Multi-Quick Connect stabplates will be used throughout the development to provide a subsea ROV
mateable connection of hydraulic supplies and functions and chemical supplies.
Each connection point shall consist of an inboard, fixed plate (mounted to the subsea structure) and an
outboard, free plate (ROV installable).
The inboard fixed MQC stab plates will be provided on SDA, UTAs, production and water injection trees
for connection of HFL, UTH, protective caps, logic caps for distribution of hydraulic and chemical
services.
The Inboard stab plates mount into the carbon steel structural frames of the subsea structures.
The stab plates will be custom populated to suit the functional requirements of each location within the
system with male, self-sealing hydraulic coupling halves. The couplings on the inboard plates will be
terminated with stainless steel tube stubs (approx 600mm long) for connection to the structure piping by
means of a butt-weld joint.
The use of male couplings on the inboard fixed stab plates permits the female coupling half containing the
seal elements to be mounted on the more readily retrievable outboard plate.
The outboard free MQC stab plates will be provided on HFLs, UTHs, logic caps and protective covers for
inboard plates.
Each stab plate will be custom populated using female self-sealing hydraulic coupling halves. All
couplings will be butt-welded to the relevant tube tails lengths. Each Outboard stab plate is ROV
installable using ISO 13628-8 Class 4 tooling.
To limit the number of differing test and flushing stab plates required on the project a common size of
plate with a consistent coupling configuration will be employed.
Should this prove not to be possible plates of different size and coupling configuration may be used
resulting in further sets of test and flushing plates.
Parking plates replicate the inboard plates and are provided solely on the trees and the Parking/ EFL
Deployment Frame supplied with the system.
Hydraulic Covers
The covers are ROV operable and are either placed on the tree flow base or returned to surface when
removed. The covers are to be re-installed following removal of the associated outboard plate of the flying
lead or umbilical termination head.
Protective covers may be provided in the following configurations providing levels of protection to the
inboard stab plate and its couplings as described:
Compensation Cover
This type of cover is based on the standard design of outboard plate and is populated with the requisite
female couplers which may be connected by tubing to a compensation vessel carried on the plate itself or
connected together to a single coupler which provides connection to a structure inboard mounted
compensation vessel.
Hydraulic Couplings
For the Greater Enfield project, Tenderer’s proposal is based on the use of Hunting / National RS
couplings with metal to metal seal type on all lines mounted to the stab plates. However, Tenderer
reserves the right to select couplings from any other suppliers during project execution, provided that
requirements specified are met.
Pressure balanced oil-filled electrical flying leads shall be used for the distribution of power within subsea
facilities.
Tenderer has based its offer on EFLs provided by Teledyne ODI. However, Tenderer reserves the right to
consider alternative vendors approved for this development that can supply similar components compliant
with project specification.
The electrical flying leads will consist of requisite electrical conductors within a pre-charged oil filled hose
assembly. Each end of the flying lead will be fitted with a high integrity, ROV operable, subsea electrical
connector with compliant handles and hose terminations, suitable for multiple making and breaking
underwater with the power supply isolated, with the compliant mounted fixed connectors of the subsea
structures and bulkhead connectors of the subsea modules.
The orientation guide slot and key design will be “scoop proof” to prevent damage to the connector pins
and sockets from any misalignment during mating.
Connection or disconnection with power applied may result in damage to the connector pins and sockets
as a result of arcing that takes place at the instant of connection/disconnection.
Flying leads shall be manufactured as oil filled hose with a single continuous conductor. All hose, wire,
insulation & sealing materials shall be verified for compatibility with the insulating oil.
All electrical connectors which by function may not be bonded to a structure for cathodic protection
purposes shall be manufactured from a corrosion resistant alloy.
Any long term disconnection shall require that the connector halves are ‘made up’ into a suitable parking
connector to provide protection against dirt ingress and marine growth.
3.7.4.1 General
The pump system arrangement consist a dynamic power and control umbilical terminated in the turret on
the FPSO. The dynamic umbilical has 2 off 3 phase cores for MV power supply in addition to other
services required to operate the pump station. 2 off 3 phase cores are required since the VSD output
voltage is limited to 7.2 kV and the output current is limited to 250 A through each set of slip rings, hence
both sets of slip rings are used in parallel which gives a maximum of 500 A output current from the VSD.
The dynamic umbilical is terminated in an umbilical termination assembly which is located on a mud mat
structure together with the subsea step-up transformer. An MV pigtail for motor power is routed from the
UTA to the subsea step-up transformer. The MV pigtail is wet mate on the UTA side and dry mate on the
subsea step-up transformer side. A bundle of flying leads with hydraulics, low voltage and fibre optics are
routed from the UTA to the subsea step-up transformer. The flying leads are wet mate in both ends. A
static power and control umbilical is terminated on the secondary side of the step-up transformer and on
the primary side of the step-down transformer. Both sides are terminated with penetrators. The static HV
power and control umbilical contains 1 off 3 phase power cores, which means that the motors will be
running at the same speed. A bundle of flying leads with hydraulics, low voltage and fibre optics are
routed from the subsea step-down transformer to the subsea pump station. The flying leads are wet mate
in both ends. Furthermore 2 off MV pigtails are routed from the secondary side of the subsea step-down
transformer to one pump motor each.
2. There lower circuit circulates the barrier fluid through the lower pump bearing, lower mechanical
seal and through external oil cooler and external filter. The flow in this circuit is ensured by a
pumping screw.
3.7.6.7 Filtration
The complete barrier fluid filtration system consists of common pressure housing with the same pressure
rating as the motor and cooler. The system is mounted on the pump unit and is retrievable with the pump
unit. The main objective of the filtration unit is to remove and collect particles and water.
The filter system is mounted in parallel with the upper external 4 cooling coils, which means that if it is
blocked all barrier oil will pass through the cooling coils and the pump is still fully operable.
There is a similar arrangement for the lower with a filter mounted in parallel with the oil cooler. Water
filtration is not required for the lower circuit as some water in the oil will not cause problem for the
bearings or the seal. There are no electrical elements in the lower circuit.
This filter was added to standard subsea pump design in year 2006 to further enhance pump reliability.
The filter has been proven to significantly improve the robustness and operating conditions for the pumps,
over more than 15 previous installations.
The pump ROV panel will include accumulators, a pressure manometer and 4 off isolation valves. The
accumulators have been incorporated to reduce the pressure peak in the barrier fluid during start-up,
shutdown and speed variations. Further, the accumulators represent a local pressure supply and thereby
reduce the frequency of operation for the supply line control valve in the ROV panel.
A pressure gauge has been implemented in the pump ROV panel for ROV surveillance of the barrier fluid
pressure during installation. The pressure gauge is isolated from the barrier fluid during normal pump
operation.
3.7.7.1 General
This section describes the pump station and modules proposed for the Greater Enfield Project.
The preliminary weight and dimension of the main retrievable equipment are as follows:
The subsea part of the Greater Enfield pump system includes the following equipment:
• Pump Station structure with process piping, valves and all required connection and termination
equipment.
• Pump modules with instrumentation and monitoring equipment.
• Subsea Control Module (SCM)
• Subsea Choke Insert
General
The proposed Pump Station holds the following main features
• The piping will be designed to minimize cold spots, dead legs and sand traps.
• Methanol injection will be included.
• The piping will not be insulated.
• The piping will be fabricated in 22 % Cr duplex stainless steel.
• Piping coating will be an epoxy paining system fulfilling requirement in NORSOK M501 system 7.
The proposed type is a compact plug and cage choke with a retrievable insert and a fixed body. A
hydraulic stepping actuator with position feedback is included.
These chokes are not available with weld tails; therefore API 5 1/8” 10K flanges will be included.
The advantage with a compact type of choke is that it includes a “dog in the window” hydraulic process
connector between fixed body and insert. This allows the choke to be placed “inside” the module,
resulting in a more optimized location wrt. flow assurance.
There will be two different SUTA designs for this project: One for the subsea end of the dynamic umbilical
and one for each end of the static umbilical.
Note that all dimensions and weights given above are indicative only at this stage.
All SUTAs will be permanently installed to the umbilical with factory made connections (splices).
3.7.8.1 General
The Power System for the Greater Enfield project includes the main components needed to operate the
subsea pump. In Figure 3.7.8-1: Single Line Diagram the single line diagram for the power distribution
system is shown. The VSD is connected to the Ngujima Yin FPSO power supply through a circuit breaker
and an input transformer. The VSD output voltage is limited to 7.2 kV and the output current is limited to
250 A through each set of slip rings. Two sets of slip rings are used in parallel which gives a maximum of
500 A output current from the VSD. An umbilical with two parallel power cable sets rated for 10 kV
transmits the power subsea. Because of the restrictions in the swivel and the current rating of the splash
zone and wet mate connectors, double dynamic power umbilicals are needed. Since the difference in
impedance will be very small between the two dynamic umbilicals the current will split equally. The
secondary voltage of the subsea step-up transformer is typically 22-24kV. A power umbilical rated at 30
kV connects the two subsea transformers. At the subsea step-down transformer the voltage is
transformed to the nominal motor voltage. The length of the 10 kV umbilical is assumed 1 km and the 30
kV umbilical is assumed 32 km.
The following basic design requirements will be met by the power supply system:
• The pumps will have variable speed operation and hence must be operated by VSD.
• The rating of the subsea pumps are based on proven technology in similar installations.
• The power transmission voltage will be kept below 30 kV in order to utilize the system
components, such as umbilical and connectors, which have been proven through several
previous projects.
• Swivel restrictions: slip rings rated and certified for 7.2 kV and 250 A

Although the umbilical and transformers acts as a filter, a built in VSD filter constituting a reactance and
capacitance may be required in the VSD. This configuration is designed to avoid resonance, travelling
waves and high dV/dT levels. The VSD will protect the MPP against excessive torque and is in addition
equipped with the relevant self protection devices for current, voltage, earth fault, temperature, etc.
The integrated input transformer supplies the power cells with the correct voltage. It is a dry type multi
winding transformer with forced air-cooling.
The Subsea Step-up Transformer increases the voltage to minimize the transmission losses over the 32
km long 30 kV umbilical. The Subsea Step-down Transformer decreases the voltage to supply the MPP
motors with the correct voltage. In Figure 3.7.8-4: Subsea transformer the subsea transformer qualified in
the Jack & St. Malo project is seen.
The subsea transformers will be designed as a single casing/double barrier type. The transformer active
part will have, like process piping and pump motor, a single casing. Potential leakage paths to live
electrical parts through compensators, penetrators or connectors, shall have double barrier.
The Step-up Transformer on the secondary side neutral connection is solidly grounded, as it is typically in
long step-out applications not possible to run the system with grounding fault due to high capacitive earth
fault currents. The fault current will be detected by a CT.
The Step-down Transformer will have HRG (High Resistance Grounding) on the secondary side in order
to limit the ground fault current and allowing the system to run with one earth fault on motor side. The
fault current will be detected by a CT.
