O�shore Contaminated Gas Development

Typical contaminants in raw natural gas include acid gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and mercaptans, benign gases such as nitrogen and helium, and heavy metals such as mercury, which at high concentrations can cause challenges in gas processing requiring expensive treatments, material selection, and complex operations with challenging health, safety and environmental (HSE) requisites. More stringent environmental requirements introduced in the last few years have limited the options of development especially for CO2 rich gases. The development of contaminated gas onshore has its challenges, while o�shore contaminated gas faces additional ones including being located far from the processing plant and having to provide more expensive space for the treatment of contaminants. Significant advancement in technologies has been progressed in the last 10 years to overcome such challenges.

Out-of-the-box, or innovative solutions can turn o�shore contaminated gas development from what was once a loss-making venture into a profit-generating one. The concept select phase requires thoughtful appraisal programmes and a thorough review of various disciplines, from geosciences to front end design, to cross the economic hurdle. A critical balance point lies in between narrowing subsurface uncertainties and right-sizing development concepts.Governments and regulators can also play a proactive role in promoting the development of these challenged resources through promotion of additional tax incentives, attractive fiscal terms, and coordination of joint-development activities.This session will help you:• Identify key project value drivers and uncertainties, and how they can be

Development ProjectsSession Managers: Rachel Lee, Sarawak Shell Berhad; Fasri Mohd Fadzli, PETRONAS

Materials selection for contaminated gas field development is often challenging as it often involves exotic materials directly a�ecting the overall CAPEX. However, if materials selection is not performed correctly, integrity impact and rectification during OPERATE phase are most likely to be more costly with undesirable production deferment. It is of utmost importance to strike a balance in achieving effective life cycle cost. This session will delve into:• Recent materials development for contaminated gas field services• Corrosion control and management • Integrity management • Improvements in relevant testing requirements • Fit-for-purpose materials selection and design

Monetisation of the high CO2 field requires economical removal and safe storage of the CO2 and other contaminants, since gas flaring is no longer an option. Depleted oil and gas reservoirs provide readily available sites for the storage of CO2 in o�shore areas. However, a thorough assessment of the depleted fields must

The technology and equipment for meeting the operational challenges of these contaminated gas environments evolves as the environmentsbecome more defined. Prudent approaches need to be taken in the design, materials selection, commissioning and operations for equipment to be used in sour gas service. This session will focus on:• Best practices and lessons learnt from ORA (Operation Readiness

Assurance), commissioning and asset integrity of o�shore sour gasprocessing facilities

• Unmanned o�shore facilities and using technology to remotelyoperate contaminant removals and disposal

• The latest robotic technologies or automated operations formeasurement and handling of mercury and acid gases

• Regulation on abandonment of facilities with mercury and sour gasprocessing system

• Industry references for P&A of contaminated gas wells1245 – 1345 Networking Luncheon1345 – 1545 Session 8: Proven and Emerging Technologies in Contaminated Gas

Management – Fluid Data Acquisition – Part 1Session Managers: Chang Boon Fuei, Sarawak Shell Berhad; Hanapiah Abdul Kadir, Mubadala PetroleumGood quality fluid data is critical in the development of hydrocarbon resources. The price of inaccurate fluid information can be enormous as this can lead to erroneous facility design. Fluid data acquisition during exploration and appraisal is key to providing information needed for field development. Establishing representative concentrations of CO2, organic acid, mercury including mercury species, H2S and other Sulphur components are critical to ensure cost-e�ective, fit-for-purpose gas, condensate and water treatment solutions, meet environmental and sales specifications as well as having correct material selection. This session will focus on:• Proven and emerging technologies, techniques and solutions

for fluid sampling, measurement and analysis for contaminated gas fields

• Best practices and lessons learnt in establishing reliablecontaminants fluid data (mercury and mercury species, H2S andSulphur components, CO2) for field development

The future of contaminated gas field development requires a new breed of innovation providers and along with other industry players including operators share their experiences of best practices and innovation in technology that are techno commercially viable, emphasising on safe project execution and commissioning for reliable operations to maximise production and minimise opportunity losses. This session will focus on:• Proven technologies that have been used in projects to handle

contaminants• Readiness of technologies for contaminants management that

needs to be taken into consideration and embedded as part of frontend studies activities

be undertaken to ensure a long term containment of the CO2.

Geological storage sites are often evaluated in terms of capacity, injectivity and containment (including well integrity). Leakage, either through the cap rock or existing well, is the main concern in depleted fields. Cap rock integrity may be compromised due to changes in the stress state during field depletion and subsidence. Another major concern for depleted fields is the integrity of P&A wells. Studies/evaluation must be undertaken to identify possible ways in remedying these high risk wells/sites.This session will delve into:• Assessment of CO2 storage capacity in storage fields or reservoirs• Assessment of the geological, geophysical and geomechanical integrity

of cap rock and reservoirs during injection and containment of CO2• Recommendation on optimum injection rate and well planning • Forecasting of CO2 injectivity and behaviour in storage reservoir

during containment • Evaluations for well integrity in P&A wells, and production wells to

identify major ‘show-stopper’ in CO2 storage• Design and specification recommendation for CO2 injector well (new

Session Manager: Han Li-Quen, Sarawak Shell Berhad; M Isham Isnin, PETRONAS

The presence of H2S, CO2, mercury and other contaminants present challenges and risks, such as HSE impacts of sour/acid gas to people and environment, as well as material degradation leading to asset integrity issues. Many methods of overcoming these problems have been developed, from removal of the contaminants to inhibiting their e�ects. Selection of safety equipment to safeguard people and the environment that we operate in is critical to ensure long-term operating success. This session will delve into various lifecycle HSSE considerations when developing and operating o�shore facilities with contaminants.• Creative and practical solutions on facility design to minimise risks to

people and the environment • Latest development in computational tools for better prediction of toxic

gas migration to aid in facility design• Solutions for personnel protection (fast detection systems, temporary

refuge, evacuation systems and more) • Advancements in technologies for e�uent management, particularly

emission and produced water containing contaminants such as H2Sand mercury

Session Manager: Alfian Telaumbanua, PETRONAS; Hanapiah Abd Kadir, Mubadala PetroleumContaminated gas streams constitute special challenges for operators, on account of the high capital and operating costs of consolidated technologies, and the need to manage the large volumes of CO2, elemental sulphur and mercury produced, particularly at o�shore locations. The main problems posed by sour gas production are HSE and integrity issues, which accompany all operations from commissioning through to field abandonment.
