MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO Hydrocarbons - Reserves and Production Known world oil resources - offshore by depth, trillion barrels (Tbo) Shallow water (0-300 m) Deep water (300-1500 m) Ultra-deep water (> 1500 m) Total 4.4 Tbo - 34% 5.7 Tbo - 45% 2.7 Tbo - 21% 12.8 Tbo Deep water oil and gas production (million barrels/day) 12 10 8 6 4 2 Europe & FSU North America Latin America Asia Africa Thousands of barrels of oil per day Global oil production Acc. to Energyfiles Ltd. Offshore oil: 34% in 2004, 39% in 2015 Most growth in oil and gas production in deep water assets 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 8

MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO Underwater Production Systems Total Cost of Ownership Full Topsides very few new major discoveries = intensified development of marginal and / or complicate fields Minimum Topsides Subsea to Beach (S2B) Solution innovation 9

MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO Platforms vs. Subsea Systems Controls; 2 Trees; 2 Control Lines; 3 Wells; 33 Temp& Manifolds; 5 Flowlines; 21 Natural Gas; 16,2 Platforms; 34 Platforms Recovery OPEX CAPEX Revenue UW Systems Recovery OPEX CAPEX Revenue Cost Structure: Systems based on Conventional Platforms Costs and Recoveries: Systems based on Platforms vs. UW Systems Source: The World Deepwater Report 3 10

MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO Underwater Production Systems Requirements (incomplete list): scalability, adaptability to meet changing strategic production profiles real-time access to all relevant data, integrated data management data analysis should be centralized in the operators Expert Center modeling, simulation, visualization, optimization, automation fault tolerant control systems complete system must meet required SIL best usability with extended maintenance intervals (3-5 years min.) SIL = Safety Integrity Level (1 to 3 (4)) 11

MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO Underwater Production Systems Key Advantages: new technology needs less personnel (at least at the remote Assets) increased safety and security due to submerged / unmanned facilities cross linking of various data sources = optimal management of resources suitable for harsh and arctic conditions and (ultra-) deep water lower CAPEX and OPEX with improved production rate! (subsea separation, water re-injection, multiphase boosting, wet gas compression, etc.) 12

MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO Underwater Production Systems Possible disadvantages / problems: new technology often requires highly qualified personnel (at Expert Centers) problematic flow assurance due to (very) long step-out distances increased maintenance intervals are problematic for materials (seals etc.) costly subsea interventions few long term operating experience with UW Systems = still prejudice in the industry = acceptance not satisfying High-Tech-Systems are highly complicated and are susceptible to faults = less OPEX (over life-cycle) are not yet proved mainly proprietary technique, few open Interfaces (e.g. IWIS Initiative) IWIS = Intelligent Well Interface Standardization 13

MOTIVATION / STATUS QUO Underwater Production Systems Solution Strategy: Asset integrity Management Systems Relevant Campaigns in the last decade: ifields (ChevronTexaco) Field of the Future (BP, Schlumberger) SmartFields (Shell) Digital oilfield of the future (many others) 14

PROJECT ISUP Project ISUP Integrated Systems for Underwater Production of Hydrocarbons www.isup-go-subsea.de ISUP is funded by: Project partners: Four Main Subprojects: a modular extendable installation and assembly platform a multifunctional, partly autonomous seafloor working unit for installation, operation, enlargement and dismantling tasks a multiphase booster system to increase the production rate and for flow assurance over long distances to the processing plant a modular control and automation system (IMPaC-dCAS) with "open" interfaces for the complete (UW) production plant 16

CONCLUSION / PERSPECTIVES Conclusion / Perspectives The Market requires - and constantly provides - new Solutions for reliable production of Hydrocarbons - from all water depths! Skilled Personnel is rare! New techniques allow centralized online Asset integrity Management via Internet out of Expert Centers Components must guarantee optimal uptime replacements at deep water developments are challenging in costs and procedures Future developments promise to be fully integrated from environmentally sound production to online monitoring a promising field also for future co-operations between production Industry and monitoring Specialists! 27
