BACKGROUND Dan Bravo platform constructed in 1971 Dan field is an important Hub in Maersk Oil Danish Sector infrastructure Platform has structural integrity issues after 30 years lifespan Maersk decided for 40 years lifetime extension program 3 years lifetime extension program started topside and subsea 2013-2015 Subsea works awarded to Boskalis Subsea Services 3
SCOPE OF WORK Period: 2013/2014/2015 Location: Danish sector, North Sea Scope: Cleaning and 3D Modeling of Jacket (Photogrammetry) Fabrication of reinforcement structures Installation of new conductor guide level, K-node reinforcement clamps, boatlandings and Anode clamps Removal of redundant structures Equipment/Services: EDT Protea (Air/ROV) & Constructor (SAT/ROV) WROV Systems Rope Access, Diamond Wire Cutting, Photogrammetry 4
CONDUCTOR GUIDE LEVEL 2 levels to be removed 1 new level to be installed (clamped) Built up from modular/bolted parts to fit in between existing structure 5
CHALLENGES Unknown dimensional tolerances of steel structures due to deflections, subsidence Largest Subsea 3D Photogrammetry ever Vessel access underneath platform bridges Weather sensitivity of splash zone works Platform crane of no use Working from 0-45 meters of water depth Air diving 0-25m, splash zone works SAT diving 25-45m 6

PREPARATIONS Thorough preparations were key to success for the project Project site office in Esbjerg, Denmark Site visit prior to engineering/rope access plans Focus on Safety, Incident Free campaign 3D Simulations & Animations for cross hauling and installing of structures within existing jacket structure Detailed engineering of 3D photogrammetry. Special Tooling (jacket cleaning, diamond wire cutting machines, flush grinding of wells) Design & Installation of two auxiliary cranes on the platform jacket to accommodate cross hauling and handshake with vessel crane. Mobilisation of vessels, equipment and personnel 8

SURVEY / INSPECTION Survey in of Installation Areas Measuring of clamp installation area Identifying any obstructions Grout valves Anodes Welds Weld CVI Close visual inspection of welds Undercut Defects Corrosion 18
3D PHOTOGRAMMETRY 3D Geometry model by subsea photography and computer post processing of images High accuracy required for steel-to-steel reinforcement structures Required cleaning to bare metal of members/nodes Installation of markers by Divers Photography by (W)ROV systems 19
3D PHOTOGRAMMETRY Requirements: Member dimensions Angles between members Member ovality Location of welds Height of weld cap Deliverables: Millimetre and sub-millimetre accuracy Reliable results Same accuracy on all three axes 20
