20110088910 | MONITORING SYSTEM FOR PIPELINES OR RISERS IN FLOATING PRODUCTION INSTALLATIONS - A method of monitoring a subsea pipeline system connecting one or more wells to a floating production system, wherein the pipeline system is at least partially flexible, the method comprises installing a continuous optical fibre distributed sensor as part of the pipeline system, the sensor capable of providing a distributed measurement of temperature, vibration, pressure or strain, or any combination thereof; using the sensor to obtain a distributed measurement of temperature, vibration, pressure and/or strain along at least part of the pipeline system indexed to a length thereof; and using the distributed measurement to predict the actual condition of the fluid, the pipeline system and/or the adjacent sea water using a model. A subsea pipeline system for connecting one or more wells to a floating production system, wherein the pipeline system comprises at least one partially flexible pipeline; a continuous optical fibre distributed sensor installed as part of the pipeline capable of providing a distributed measurement of temperature and/or strain; means for obtaining a distributed measurement of temperature, vibration or strain, or combinations thereof, along at least part of the pipeline system indexed to a length thereof from the sensor; and means for using the distributed measurement to manage operation of the system. Preferably, the system comprises means for modelling expected pipeline behaviour using the distributed measurement as an input; and means for using the modelled behaviour to manage operation of the system. | 04-21-2011 |

20100059221 | SUBSEA FLUID SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS - Subsea apparatus and a method for sampling and analysing fluid from a subsea fluid flowline proximate a subsea well is provided, wherein the apparatus comprises at least one housing located in close proximity to said subsea fluid flowline; at least one fluid sampling device located in the housing in fluid communication with a said subsea fluid flowline for obtaining a sample of fluid from the subsea fluid flowline; at least one fluid processing apparatus located in the housing in fluid communication with said subsea fluid flowline for receiving and processing a portion of the fluid flowing through said fluid flowline or in fluid communication with the fluid sampling device, for processing the sample of fluid obtained from the subsea fluid flowline for analysis, while keeping the sample of fluid at subsea conditions; a fluid analysis device located in the housing, the fluid analysis device being in fluid communication with the fluid processing device and/or with the fluid sampling device, the fluid analysis device being used for analysing said sample of fluid or the processed sample of fluid to generate data relating to a plurality of properties of said sample of fluid and communicating said data to a surface data processor or to at least one other subsea apparatus; and conveying means included in the housing for conveying the housing means from one subsea fluid flowline to another subsea fluid flowline or for conveying the housing to the surface. | 03-11-2010 |
20110071875 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING OILFIELD OPERATIONS - A system and method for executing an oilfield operation at a wellsite is provided. The system comprises a project execution unit, an employee assessment unit and a matrix execution unit. The project execution unit is configured to quantify a plurality of project parameters for executed projects, wherein a first project parameter is a success rate of the executed projects, and a second project parameter is a required project team member competency for the executed projects. The employee assessment unit is configured to assess a level of expertise obtained by each of the employees for a plurality of skill sets. The matrix execution unit is configured to compare to the required project team member competency to the level of expertise of each of the employees in each of the plurality of skill sets in order to select a group of employees to be used to complete the project team. | 03-24-2011 |
