These tolerances were apparently not achieveable.
What conclusion should the reader draw if the actual values are beyond what
is accounted for here?
CONTRACTOR REPLY:
Those tolerances were prescribede in the relevant FLETS and ITAs
fabrication specification and generally achieved.
If and when as-built (or as-laid) survey shows any out-specification
tolerances, the spools and/or jumpers affected will be assessed first and
if necessary re-analyses shall be performed to confirm their acceptance
or rectification to be carried out.
Please also refer to document NG50-3-200-ENG-RP-AB-00-2063

Please note the CTR dimensional survey of the 4 first FLETs to be fabricated,
indicated linear tolerances more than 10x that indicated here. In at least one
case the angular tolerance exceeds 0.6deg in pitch, which corresponds to 3x
that indicated here.
It would appear now with obvious hindsight that SPS original recommendation
of +/-0.5deg and +/-25mm is more sensible for design.
How should the exceedence of these values now be treated within the spools

design?
CONTRACTOR REPLY:
Please see Contractor’s reply to Company Comment 1 above.
NG50-3-200-ENG-RP-AB-00-2063 ‘Definition of position of FLETs & ITAS
following fabrication as-built data’ report is reporting the actual
tolerance and stress recalculation and are included in final
engineering doc of FLETs as agreed with CY. – ref to answer to
previsou comment.
For out of spec FLET, lead to out of tolerance considered in
design of 1.42° - full statistical approach would have lead to 1.45°
(based on 0.6° FLET misalignment).
Spool design was performed on Short-Short and Long-long
configuration (typical for FLET:+/-5 long / +/-2.5 lateral) while
installation lead to FLET inside target of +/-2m (MAX to be
confirmed).
Moreover, max utilisation for out of specification FLET is 0.73
(based on ABAQUS result).

Please indicate where such requirements are to be detailed, if not in the

design basis. Incorporation here would still be the sensible place to put this
information.
CONTRACTOR REPLY:
Those requirements (i.e. constraints) for the spool & jumper design are
relative to installation. Reference to be made to document ‘ NG50-3-200-
ENG-CN-AB-00-9270, Spool & Jumper Installation Analysis’ (mentioned
in this document as reference [64])
Please note also that for all the spools & jumpers final tansporation and
lifting analyses are performed following as built survey of FLETs,
manifolds and trees.
CLOSED
Subject: Note

Sensitivity has previously been indicated and requested by CY.
The spool may see a lower friction than the production flowline, due to the
differing installation methods.
This still needs to be addressed.
CTR answer to comment is not accepted.
CONTRACTOR REPLY:
Generally, due to the controlled lowering process for spools & jumpers,
soil friction may be lower in lateral direction, as soil will be much less
distorted, i.e. less embedment, under spools & jumpers than flowlines
by J-lay.
The lower soil lateral friction is however favourable with respect to

spool & jumper stress due to the lower resistance. In other word, the
PAGE : 2 OF 3
spools (and jumper for thermal expansion effect) can move laterally
more easily so to reduce the reactions at its ends. Therefore no further
analysis is considered necessary.
CLOSE
Subject: Note
December 3, 2007
The point is not clear. Starting with a distorted spool and then forcing an ideal
position, would surely result in a stress free spool?
CONTRACTOR REPLY:
Please disregard the point.
The purpose of the statement was to explain that to simulate the impact
of tolerances on the spool, the rotations and displacements associated
to these tolerances were applied.

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Overview

The AKPO Field lies Offshore Nigeria within OML 130, some 200Km South of Port Harcourt, in
water depths ranging from 1250 m to 1480 m.
TOTAL UPSTREAM NIGERIA LIMITED a company organised and existing under the laws of
Nigeria, as operator of the Oil mining Lease (OML) 130 with a 24% share, and its partners
NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION (50%), BRASOIL OIL SERVICES
COMPANY NIGERIA (16%) and SOUTH ATLANTIC PETROLEUM LIMITED (10%), are
developing the AKPO Field, estimated to contain reserves of 1 billion barrels of oil and 4 trillion
cubic feet of natural gas.
Saibos s.a.s. has been awarded the UFR (Umbilicals, Flowlines and Risers) contract of the AKPO
Field Development Project. The UFR has been divided into five systems which are:
• System F: Flowlines, Risers, Spools, Jumpers and Manifolds

• System U: Umbilicals and Flying Leads
• System G: Gas Export Pipeline and Risers
• System O: Oil Loading Terminal
• System M: Mooring System of the FPSO
As spools and jumpers are included in System F a brief description of this system is outlined in the
following section.
1.2 Description of System F

The production and injection network consists of:
• 4 x 10-inch thermally insulated production flow loops (P10, P20, P30 and P40) and steel
catenary risers to the FPSO,
• 1 x 8-inch gas injection line (GI 40) and steel catenary riser to the FPSO,
• 4 x 10-inch water injection line (WI10, WI20, WI30 and WI50) and steel catenary risers to
the FPSO.
System F comprises the following sub-systems:
• Sub-System FL : Static flowlines

• Sub-System FR : Dynamic risers (SCR and riser spools)
• Sub-System FT : Tie-in spools and jumpers
• Sub-System FM : Manifolds
1.3 Description of Sub-System FT

The system block diagram overall field layout, Ref. [29] shows 31 Spools and 72 Jumpers as
follows. 31 Spools and 44 Jumpers are included in subsystem FT.
NG50-3-200-ENG-RP-AB-00-2235-001.3.doc
REPORT
Doc reference Rev.

- 6 Spools for Production line P10,

- 1 Spools for Water Injection line WI10,
- 2 Spools for Gas Injection line GI40,
From the 72 jumpers, 28 are future and 44 are part of the current contract as listed below:
- 6 Jumpers for Production line P10,

- 5 Jumpers for Water Injection line WI10,
- 2 Jumpers for Gas Injection line GI40.
From the 44 jumpers listed above only 22 are required for start-up and first oil. These twenty two
jumpers are to be designed, fabricated and installed by UFR CONTRACTOR in phase 1 as defined
in COMPANY reference [30]. UFR CONTRACTOR shall supply materials for the remaining 22
jumpers which shall be defined as phase 2 jumpers to differentiate them from jumpers defined as
“future” in the block diagram, ref. [29], which are not part of the current contract.
1.3.1 Definitions
The following sketch shows a typical arrangement at a Drill Center : Flowline End
Terminations, Spools, Jumpers, Manifold and Wells.
- Jumpers make the connection between manifold and wellhead or FLET/ ITA.
- Spools make the connection between FLET and manifold or between 2 FLETS.
Note: Connections between two FLETs are termed by ”interconnection spools” and their
design shall be in accordance with this BOD.

1.4.2 Spools and Jumpers connectors
The spools and jumpers have subsea horizontal type connectors at each end.
The subsea connectors are Cameron Collet horizontal connectors which will be free
issued to UFR CONTRACTOR by COMPANY.
1.5 Objective
This document forms the basis for the detailed design and analysis of the all the listed above
spools and jumpers for the AKPO Development Project as describe in Section 1.3.
The purpose of this design basis is:
• To list the applicable codes, standards and statutory requirements

• To list the design data, including operational and fluid data, environmental data and
field layout information necessary to complete the detailed design.
• To identify the source of each item of data
• To summarise the methodology used in the detail design
1.6 Scope
The spools and jumpers shall be designed to withstand all relevant operational, environmental and
installation loads based on provided input data and methodology referred to in this document. The
list of applicable sources of information is shown in Section 2. The primary reference is DnV OS-F-
101.
The design engineering consists of detail design and analysis of the 44 Jumpers and 31 Spools for
the Water Injection, Gas Injection and Production lines.
It should be noted that all spools and jumpers shall be designed based on UFR CONTRACTOR
installation methodology.
Design will be carried out in 2 phases:
Preliminary Design:
The scope is to identify jumpers & spools preliminary configuration, wall thicknesses and
maximum dimensions. The objectives of this pre-detailed engineering phase are:
- To define the quantities of bends and linepipe required.
- To evaluate loads transmitted to FLETs, ITAs, Manifolds & Wells.
Detailed Design:
The objectives of the detailed design phase are to:
- Produce final spool and jumper configuration
- Perform final analysis
NG50-3-200-ENG-RP-AB-00-2235-001.3.doc

4. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS
The jumpers and spools shall be designed to meet the general and specific functional
requirements as given in the Jumper & Spool Specification, ref. [13].
In general, the following requirements shall be met:
• Resist all applicable loads (thermal, pressure, environmental, misalignment)

• Provide sufficient flexibility for installation within connector design envelope
• Maintain integrity of coating or insulation
• Allow pigging
• Maintain flowline ID (for spools)
4.1 Pigging Requirements
All spools shall be capable of being pigged. Bends in piggable lines shall have a radius of
minimum 5 times pipe ID, Refs. [13] (Sections 3.5 and 3.6). Jumpers are not required to be
piggable and bends shall have a minimum of 3 times pipe ID.
4.2 Connector System
The connection system shall utilize Cameron’s horizontal connection system which employs
existing collet connector technology and is comprised of a body, collet segments, actuator ring,
top plate and outer body ring, ref. [69]. The “female” connectors shall be assembled to the
ends of the spool/jumper and a diverless subsea connection shall be made to the “male” hubs
on the connecting structure. Refer to drawings [70] to [75] for examples of the “female” &
“male” assemblies. As base case, the following connector configurations shall be used:

4.3 Tolerances
All spool and jumper designs shall accommodate the following tolerances:
1- Installation
2- Metrology Measurement
3- Spool Fabrication
4- Connector’s Hub to Receptacle
A distinction should be made between the installation tolerance which will be determined
during metrology and the other tolerances which can not be determined and have to be
accommodated in the design of the spool and jumpers. These other tolerances will be
assumed to follow a uniform probability and the total tolerance to be accommodated by the
spool and jumper will be bases on a probability of a 1/1000 or mean plus three standard
deviations. The design values for the rotational misalignment tolerances to be considered in
the verification of the spools are jumpers are defined in Appendix B and summarised in table
below. These design values are based on a probability of exceedance of 1/1000 based on
certain assumptions related to the breakdown in the tolerances due to the fabrication of the
host structure. For information, the manifolds and the trees are made of two separate
structures. Here it is assumed that the total tolerance is made up of three components two of
which are related to the fabrication of each structure and the third related to assembly of
these two structures.

Design Values 0.91° 1.29° 1.02° 1.33° 1.68° 1.84° 1.28° 2.85°
The assumption of a uniform probability can be justified given that the tolerances being
considered are extreme limits indicating that the deviation from the theoretical position can be
anywhere within these limits. The assumption of a uniform probability is conservative as it is
assumed that this deviation can be anywhere within these limits with equal probability. In
reality each of these tolerances could be a stack-up of a number of tolerances and a more
realistic but less onerous assumption would be a normal probability distribution.

4.3.2 Metrology Tolerances
Metrology measurements shall be taken from jumper / spool receptacle to receptacle on

subsea structures (Sketch 1). The tolerances associated to the inaccuracy of the
measurements shall be considered in the stress analyses of the spools and jumpers.
Metrology tolerances are due to degree of accuracy for the followings measured values
(Sketch 1):
- Pitch at each receptacle,
- Roll at each receptacle,
- Depth on each receptacle,
- Direct distance between receptacles,
- Seabed bathymetry on spool / jumper route.

4.3.4 Connector’s Hub to Receptacle Tolerances
Tolerances described in this section are in two parts which shall be considered in the stress
analyses of spools and jumpers:
1- Relating to FLETs and ITAs
2- Relating to manifolds and trees
Tolerances for FLETs and ITAs are due to fabrication inaccuracies as both receptacle and
male hub will be mounted on the same structure. Sketch 2 shows the FLETS fabrication
achievable tolerances. In addition to these FLET fabrication tolerances, any displacements of
the FLETS and ITAs resulting from the in-service conditions will also be considered in the
verification of the spools and jumpers.
Tolerances for manifolds and trees (Sketch 3) are mainly due to the fact that the receptacles
will be mounted on a sub-structure foundation frame which will be installed separately
(installed first) from the main structure which holds the male hubs of the CHC system
(installed second). Additionally the main structure for both manifold and tree have been
designed such that both can be recovered and installed back in place during life time of the
field, hence there is a possibility for a large tolerances variation for both these structure in
accordance with the SPS contractor document Ref. [79].
Table 4-4 and Table 4-5 summarises the applicable tolerances for manifolds and trees
respectively in accordance with Ref. [79].

6. DESIGN & OPERATING DATA
6.1 Design Pressure Definition
Detailed definition of the extreme pressure and temperatures which may occur in the AKPO
flowlines and risers during normal and abnormal operating conditions is given in reference [18].
Pressure and temperature cycles are contained in addendum of reference [15] and further
explained for flowline design in reference [48].
In relation to pipelines, maximum internal pressure during normal operation, referred to reference
height which is MSL with the FPSO at 10m draft, to which the pipeline or pipeline section shall be
designed. The design pressure must take account of steady flow conditions over the full range of
flow rates, as well as possible packing and shut-in conditions, over the whole length of the pipeline
or pipeline section which is to have a constant design pressure.
In accordance with references [1] & [57] design pressure definition as represented in Figure 6-1
and the design pressures tabulated in Section 5.2 will be used for the AKPO spools/jumpers detail
design. Spools & jumpers design pressure is as per flowlines.

Pressures have been obtained from COMPANY references [15] & [18] as follows.
The following should be noted:
a. Provided pressures correspond to MSL with a FPSO draft of 10 m

b. Most unfavorable fluid densities have been used for pressure calculation
c. Flowline and riser base elevations are not the same. Therefore shallowest and

10. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA
10.1 General
The spools and jumper design shall be checked in accordance with DnV OS-F-101, ref. [1]. In
accordance with this prime reference the design will be based upon limit state and partial safety
factor methodology, also called Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) which ensures a
satisfactory level of safety where the design load effect does not exceed the design resistance.
The spool/jumper components (e.g. bends & reducers) shall be designed in accordance with
DNV OS-F101, Ref. [1] Section 12, F1200, and stress intensification factors at bends shall use
ASME B31.8, Ref. [11].
In accordance with Section 5, B506 & B507of DNV OS-F101, Ref. [1], Duplex linepipe require
special considerations of the susceptibility of environmentally assisted cracking (including SSC
and hydrogen induced cracking related to cathodic protection). The precautions are only related
to the production jumper design and will be covered in this item’s respective design report. The
special considerations are mainly a reduced strength utilisation and reduced cathodic protection
potential, ref [53].

12. DESIGN METHODOLOGY
This section outlines the methodology for the major aspects of AKPO spool and jumper
mechanical design. For more details on design methodology, refer to specific spool and/or jumper
detailed design report.
12.1 General
The analysis shall be carried out using the piping system analysis programme, Autopipe version
6.3. Autopipe is a PC-based pipe stress analysis program developed by Rebis Industrial
Workgroup Software which uses a finite element method to calculate the piping response to
various external loads (weight, expansion loads, platform guide deflections etc.) taking into
account the piping stiffness.
The non-linear analyses for strain based design shall be carried out using the finite element
software Abaqus version 6.6.1.
12.2 Computer Model
In order to optimize the design for different systems, at least the following spools & jumpers
typologies shall be analysed:
- 1 WI spool connecting 2 FLETs,

- 1 WI jumper connecting 6” hub to WI Tree,
- 1 WI jumper connecting 10” hub to WI Tree.
- 1 GI spool connecting 2 FLETs,
- 1 GI spool connecting 1 FLET to manifold,
- 1 6” GI jumper connecting manifold to GI Tree.
- 3 Prod spool connecting 10” hub to production manifold (L-shape, Z-shape spool
configuration to allow for different flowlines approach angle),
- 1 Prod jumper connecting 6” hub to production Tree
Pipeline end expansions and rotations shall be applied at the end of the model where applicable.
The analysis shall also consider all applicable displacements due to gravity and environmental
loads. Detailed design input is provided in Appendix A.
All the computer models to be generated shall have the following common features:
- Both installation and operating load cases shall be considered. The installation
load cases will consider that the spools and jumpers are installed flooded.
- The model ends shall be anchored and pipeline end expansion (for spools)
applied at the end of the model
- Soil shall be modeled as spring with both lower bound and upper bound axial
and lateral friction coefficients to be considered in derivation of the stiffness for
axial and lateral springs respectively. Spring values for downward stiffness shall
be obtained based on method proposed in DNV-RP-F105, March 2002.

REPORT
Doc reference Rev.

- Environmental loading due to current shall be applied at the most onerous

direction. Wave loading need not be considered due to the water depth
- Pipe buoyancy and the End Cap Effect is automatically computed by Autopipe
12.3 Loading Sequence
Jumper & spool detail design will take into consideration the following stages:
- Installation (Deployment & Landing)

- Tie-in & connection
- Hydrotest case
- Operational case
All spools and jumpers will be designed in accordance with CONTRACTOR’S installation
methodology. Specific spools & jumpers detailed design reports will contain in detail how the
installation methodology and the various tolerances are addressed.
The loads will be applied in the following sequence. It should be noted that a general methodology
is presented and may be subject to change during detail design.
- The spools/jumpers will be assumed to be landed in the receptacles. This is the

ideal case where the spools/jumpers fit perfectly in the gap between receptacles.
This approach is for the purpose of simplifying the analyses in the sense that rather
to assume a distorted spool (due to fabrication tolerances) which is being forced to
its ideal position, it is assumed that the spool is in an ideal situation and is being
forced to a distorted position (due to fabrication tolerances). With this approach,
only one spool model is being analysed for different tolerances.
- The various tolerance and environmental loads will be applied to assess the loads
acting on the receptacles. This will give an understanding of the loads required to
stab the spool/jumper if the various tolerances act against the fit-up between the
stab and receptacle. Each end of the spool/jumper should be “fixed” as per the
“parked” case.
- Stroke will be considered for spool analysis. With the spool partially fixed at both
ends, End 1 is stroked 400mm to take the outboard hub against the inboard hub.
The partial fixity of the spool is to allow certain displacement and rotational
movements at each end as defined in Table 4-2. End 2 is “fixed” as per the “parked”
case and End 1 is “fixed” as per the “Tie-in” case.
- With the spool partially fixed at End 2, End 1 is analysed fully fixed/connected to the
pipeline
- With the spool “fixed” at End 1, End 2 is stroked to take the outboard hub against
the inboard hub. End 2 is “fixed” as per the “Tie-in” case.
- Long term settlement of 400mm for the FLETs and ITAs will be considered in the
stress verification of the spools and jumpers.
- Both Ends 1 & 2 are fully fixed/connected to the pipeline to simulate the tied-in pipe.
NG50-3-200-ENG-RP-AB-00-2235-001.3.doc
REPORT
Doc reference Rev.

- A range of load cases are to be defined to simulate the in-place condition. These in-
place conditions take into account a tolerance of +/-70mm on the seabed elevation.
- The interface loads shall be reported which will be derived from the spool design
and issued to COMPANY. COMPANY will review the loads and confirm acceptability
or otherwise. To allow assessment of the tie-in loads for each load case analysed,
CONTRACTOR will report the loads, compared against the maximum allowable
connector loads, as defined in Table 9-1.
For the in-place condition the following loads shall be applied in the hydrotest and operational
cases.
Hydrotest
- Apply gravitational loads
- Apply translations and rotations to simulate tie-in at end 1
- Apply hydrotest pressure
Operational
- Apply design pressure
- Apply temperature differential
- Apply pipeline end expansions at FLET for spools
12.4 Load Case Combinations and Sequences
All the combinations due to metrology and fabrication tolerances will be considered in the
installation analysis model for the jumpers and spools.
Operational load cases are presented in Table 12-1 as an example of how the load cases are
considered in Autopipe.

Both jumper and spool analyses will be performed considering the same methodology except the
spool model will consider loads imposed due to pipeline end expansion. Resultant loads will be
checked against allowable loading as defined in Section 9.2.
12.5 Fatigue analysis
As required in reference [16], flow lines construction, installation fatigue analysis will be performed.
The scope of the fatigue study (location, degree of detail) will be defined in the detailed design
report.
Fatigue analyses due to cycle of shutdown / start-up (for production, water injection, and gas
injection lines) will be evaluated in detailed design in accordance with Section 6.3, as well as VIV,
if applicable. Fatigue criteria, SN-curves and SCF’s will be in accordance with DNV RP C203, ref
[16].
12.6 Transition Piece
The transition piece will be modelled where there is a diameter reduction from the connector to the
pipe section or from a bend to thinner pipe section. This may be modelled directly in Autopipe as a
pipe element similar to a concentric reducer. If necessary a further SIF will be applied for
determination of stresses.

developed spreadsheet, developed for importing the results from Autopipe and performing the
local buckling check will be used to process the results of the analyses for all cases.

limitations defined in the installation analyses, Ref. [64]. The detailed design of spools and jumpers lift
arrangement, transportation grillage and seafastening arrangement shall be covered in Ref. [64] and

REPORT
Doc reference Rev.

A1-Introduction
For the AKPO field development, the spools and jumpers design is required to accommodate
forced end rotations and linear displacements to accommodate the installation and fabrication
tolerances. These forced rotations and displacements are largely the governing design parameters
contributing to a large proportion of the stress state and potentially causing stresses beyond the
allowable WSD limits.
Given that a large proportion of the stress state is driven by imposed displacements, the
verification of the spools and jumpers can be performed for non-linear strain based design. The
methodology for the verification of the spools and jumpers for the non-linear strain based design is
described in sections below in accordance with DNV, Ref. [76].
A2-Allowable strains
The allowable compressive strains for the straight sections of the spools and jumpers will be
determined as the lower limit of 0.3% or the allowable limits of DNV OS F101. The same applies
for the bends where these will be the lower limit of 0.3% or the allowable limits determined by finite
element methods incorporating a safety factor of three on the critical strain limits.
For straight sections of the spools and jumpers, the limitation to 0.3% can be exceeded locally and
at areas of strain concentrations provided that the magnified strains are less than the allowable
limits determined according to DNV OS F101, sections 5 D 567 & D 508, or 0.6% (whichever is
lower).
For bends in the spools and jumpers, no strain concentrations are expected as the bends are free
from any welds and have straight ends with a length 500mm.
For the duplex jumpers, and in addition to the maximum compressive strains defined as above, a
reduced strain utilization will be considered to avoid HISC. This additional requirement is defined
according to the maximum principal strain limits shown Figure A2.1.

A2.1 Straight Sections
The allowable compressive strains for the straight section of the spools and jumpers will be
determined according to DNV OS F101. The allowable compressive strains for the
different spools and jumpers are shown in Table A2.1 below. The allowable compressive
strains have been conservatively calculated assuming zero hoop stress (i.e the hoop stress
correction factor has been ignored).
The compressive strain is calculated with the formula (5.25) of DNV OS F101:
In Table A2.1, it is shown that the straight sections of the spools and jumpers can
accommodate compressive strains in excess of 1.0%. However, and as conservative
assumption a reduced allowable limit of 0.3% will be considered for the AKPO project. At
regions of strain concentrations, the allowable compressive strains should not exceed 0.6%.
The allowable strains for the duplex jumpers are based on maximum principle strains as
shown in Table A2.2

A2.2 Bends
The allowable compressive strain for the bends will be determined by non-linear finite element
methods. The allowable compressive strains will conservatively be determined for zero hoop
stress and for the corroded condition. The condition when the spools are empty during operation
will also be examined. However, it is worth noting that the spools and jumpers will be installed
flooded and will be hydro-tested and commissioned before the condition of minimum design
pressure arises. In this respect it is expected that the spool and jumper will develop residual
strains which will not result in the collapse of the bends due to depressurization. Nevertheless, the
effect of load history will be included in determining the bend capacity and this will be detailed in
the respective detailed design reports.
In the FE models for bends, two material behaviours were used: Duplex for the production jumpers
and X65 for all the others spools and jumpers. The Duplex behaviour is based on ref [60] (see
Table 5-3), the X65 behaviour is based on the Ramberg Osgood relationship.
The model will be constructed with shell elements. One end of the model will be restraint and the
other end will be subjected to an imposed rotation. An illustration of the model boundary

conditions and general geometry for the production spool bend is shown in Figure A2.2. The
critical compressive strain will be defined as the strain where the moment reaches its maximum
value. This is illustrated in Figure A2.2. In this figure which is relevant to the bends of the
production spool, it is shown that the critical compressive strain is 2%. Adopting a safety factor of
3, the maximum allowable compressive strain is 0.67%. However and in cases where the
allowable compressive strains are greater than 0.3%, a reduced allowable limit of 0.3% will be
considered for the AKPO project.

It is worth noting that bends of the spools and jumpers are oversized against collapse and have a

Figure A2.4 which shows that at 1.2 strain, the capacity of the pipe is 1.12 the capacity of the

A3 Spool and Jumper Verification
A3.1 Screening Criteria
The verification of the spools and jumpers requires a detailed analysis to define the most onerous
combinations of rotational tolerances, linear tolerances, seabed friction and settlement of the
foundations. For example, each end of the spool will have two rotational tolerances (horizontal
and vertical), three linear tolerances (axial, horizontal and vertical) which result in a minimum
number of 128 load cases to be analyzed. These load cases have to be analyzed taking into
account the tolerance on the measured seabed height and the lower and upper bound soil
conditions. Considering the above load cases for the landing, Stroking, hydro-test and operating
conditions, the number of load cases to be considered is too significant to be considered in a non-
linear strain based design. Hence, a screening criterion based on linear elastic analysis will be
employed to define the governing load cases. The software used for the screening analysis will be
AUTOPIPE.
The governing loads cases are the cases leading to:
1. The maximum reaction moments at the ends of the spool or jumper (interface loads)
2. The maximum stress in the bends.
3. The maximum stress in the straight sections.
These governing load cases will then be analyzed in further detail using the non-linear strain based
design criteria. The software used for the strain based design will be ABAQUS.
A3.2 Non Linear Analysis
ABAQUS will be used for the FE modeling of the spools and jumpers. The FE model will be made
with ELBOW31 elements. This type of elements:
1. Provide accurate modeling of the nonlinear response of initially circular pipes and
pipebends when distortion of the cross-section by ovalization and warping dominates the
behavior
2. Appear as beams but are shells with quite complex deformation patterns allowed
3. Use plane stress theory to model the deformation through the pipe wall;
A number of load cases will be modeled with reduced integration shell elements in order to verify
the results obtained with elbow elements. The objective here is not the verification of the elbow
elements provided by ABAQUS but to ensure that the consistent results are obtained using
different modeling approaches.
The mesh used for finite element analysis shall be selected to model accurately the geometry,
boundary conditions and applied loads. In addition, mesh convergence analysis will be provided to
ensure that the size of the elements are adequate to capture the response of the spool or jumper.
The finite element analysis shall be based on von Mises yield criterion and associated flow rule.
Isotropic strain hardening will be assumed. In the absence of more representative material plasticity
models, the stress-strain curve will be based on the Ramberg Osgood relationship.

The FE model will include stiffness discontinuities across the weld. This will be achieved by
incorporating a weak joint at the most onerous location. In the FE model the spool or jumper will
be modeled with nominal dimensions and stress strain curve of the weak joint will be modeled with
reduced dimensions and yield strength. For the weaker joint, the wall thickness will be calculated
as:
t w = t n − 2 Sd w
where t w is the wall thickness of the weaker pipe, t n is the nominal wall thickness of the pipe and
Sd w is the standard deviation of the wall thickness. The standard deviation of the pipe will be
calculated based on the maximum and minimum wall thickness in tolerance as:
t max − t min
Sd w =
6
The yield strength of the weaker joint will be calculated as the nominal YS minus one standard
deviation times the square root of two. The covariance of the yield strength will be considered 4%.
The verification of the spool or jumper will be established taking into account the history of the load
sequence from landing to operation.
