Structural Integrity Management of ADMA OPCO Critical Wellhead Conductors

Abstract

The Abu Dhabi Marine Operating Company (ADMA-OPCO) is a major producer of oil and gas from the offshore areas of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It is Operating on behalf of Shareholders ADNOC, BP and TOTAL & JODCO, having completed over 50 years of oil and gas production. ADMA OPCO is currently producing over 650 MBD from two main off shore fields, Umm Shaif and Zakum, through over 560 Offshore Well Conductors. Also, ADMA OPCO is expanding to produce 1000 MBD by 2020 once the new 3 fields (Umm Lulu, SARB & Nasr) are on line. The Magnitude of the well conductors will increase to over 600. Production assurance integrity review has dictated to ADMA OPCO to check all the assets integrity from the reservoir to the loading terminal. This has captured all the gaps and one of this was integrity assurance of the Well conductor. This had ADMA OPCO to review the inspection Methodology and assessment in order to have a comprehensive integrity assumption and a quantitative approach of recommendation.
