is held for a minimum period
of 8 hours with no
unexplainable pressure drop.
Air content not to exceed
0.21% for the overall
combined riser and pipeline

launcher up to the Pig receiver
(Permanent PIG Trap)
on HSP platform as a single
pipeline system, at 1.25
times the submarine
pipeline design pressure.
It should be noted that testing
the 14” submarine pipeline
system at 1.5 times Topside
piping’s design pressure will
reduce fatigue life due to
additional strength test.
Contractor is therefore
proposing this to ensure the
submarine pipeline fatigue life
is not reduced.
Since it is an oil production

After completion of the HDD operation, the pulling heads at the landfall will be removed, onshore
pipeline installed and a temporary Pig Launcher (Sketch below) will be installed on the 14”
production pipeline end.
Note: Hydro-testing will be performed after free spans remediation, completion of

trenching and burial activities, and completion of any other offshore pipeline intervention activities.
In case seawater is used, Water will be drawn directly from the sea through a feed pump in a
series of break tanks via filter and pumped by a filling pump into the pipeline header.
It should be noted that the 14” pipeline has been tied to the riser using subsea spools at HSP
platform. The pipeline is therefore already full of seawater, which will be displaced during the
pigging operations.
6.5.2 Activities
Following activity sequence starts after the pipeline is mechanically complete.
 The Pig Launcher will be set up & connected to the main line using 14” flange at landfall.
 All kick off valves with the exception of the designated discharge line maintained in closed
position on the receiver header on HSP platform.
 Operator at Launcher side verifies that all equipment is ready prior to start.

7.2 Detailed Calculation
Calculations shall be carried out according the following criteria.
7.2.1 Theoretical Water Required to Pressurize the Line
The quantity of theoretical water necessary to pressurize the section to be tested shall be
calculated on the basis of the formula given in below reported.
Vcal = (0,884 x ri/S + A) x 10-6 x Vsecx (P1-P2)
Where:
Vsec Calculated sectıon volumes (m3)
Vcal Calculated theoretical volumes (m3)
Vact Actual volume to pressurize (m3)
P1 Initial pressure (bar)
P2 Final pressure (bar)
ri Internal radius of the pipe (mm)
S Thickness of the pipe (mm)
A Value of water compressibility at the pressurization temperature in the P interval

(bar^-1), See Appendix 8, Table 1
The quantity of theoretical water required to pressurize the line is approximately V ca l= 0.60
m³.
7.2.2 Air Volume Calculation
The quantity of water pumped in the line (V act) to reach test pressure shall be compared to the
theoretical quantity (Vcal).
The assessed air content (V act-Vcal)/ Vsec shall not exceed 0.2% of the calculated V sec according to
technical specification.
Doc. No.
HPP-PL-PRC-5-028
7.2.3 Calculation of Pressure Variation due to Temperature Variation
The pressure change due to temperature variation shall be calculated on the basis of the formula
given below.
ΔP= (B x Δt)/ [(0,884 x ri/S + A) x ( ΔVact/ ΔVcal) ]
Where:
ΔP line pressure change (bar)
B Volume temperature factor (Appendix 8, Table 2)
Δt Testing temperature change (°C)
ri internal radius of the pipe (mm)
S Thickness of the pipe (mm)
A Value of water compressibility at the pressurization temperature in the P interval

(bar^-1) See Appendix 8, Table 1
Vcal Calculated theoretical volumes (m3)
Vact Actual volume to pressurize (m3)
The Hydro Testing is acceptable if the pipeline is free from leaks, and the pressure variation is
within ±0.2% of the test pressure. A pressure variation up to an additional ±0.2% of the test
pressure is normally acceptable if the total variation (i.e.±0.4%) can be documented to be caused
by temperature fluctuations or otherwise accounted for. If pressure variations greater than ±0.4%
of the test pressure is observed, the holding period shall be extended until a hold period with
acceptable pressure variations has occurred.
7.3 Hydro Testing Operation
The Hydro Testing operations will consist of:
1. Pressurization: During pressurization, the pressure will be raised in steps, at diminishing

rate as the pipeline internal pressure increases. During the initial pressurization steps the air
content of the line will be assessed, and leaks detection performed.
2. Stabilization: After pressurization steps, time shall be allowed for confirmation of

temperature and pressure stabilization before the test hold period begins.
3. Hold Period: The pressure will be held for a period of time of 8 hours. During the test
period, the pressure shall be continuously recorded. Temperature and pressure shall be
recorded simultaneously every hour.
Doc. No.
HPP-PL-PRC-5-028
4. Acceptance: The pressure test is acceptable if the pipeline is free from leaks, and the
pressure variation is within ±0.2% of the test pressure. A pressure variation up to an
additional ±0.2% of the test pressure is normally acceptable if the total variation (i.e.
±0.4%) can be documented to be caused by temperature fluctuations or otherwise
accounted for. If pressure variations greater than ±0.4% of the test pressure are observed,
the holding period shall be extended until a hold period with acceptable pressure variations
has occurred.
5. Completion and Depressurization: Test will be considered completed once the Client or
its Representative provides written approval. Upon test completion, the pipeline will be
slowly depressurized at 0.5 bar/minute from test pressure to 95% of test pressure and
continue at 1 bar/minute until atmospheric pressure is reached.
7.3.1 Preparation for Testing
The Hydro Testing operations will start after the Cleaning / Gauging / Filling of both the pipeline
has been completed and accepted by Client.
All safety equipment, materials, devices and personnel, on both pipeline ends will be made
available and prescriptions applied according to specification.
Prior to commencing the test the following preparatory work will be done and precautions taken
prior to testing:
1. The high-pressure pump connected with test head at Pressurization side.
2. All temporary piping will be adequately supported during the pressure test. All flexible hoses
will be anchored to prevent whip in the event of failure.
3. All in-line instruments and instrument probes will be removed, blocked and bled or
otherwise isolated from the test;
4. All temporary piping will be visually checked before testing
The Pig(s) will be removed at the HSP platform pig receiver at discharge location
After Client has accepted the gauging, the HP test heads & connections at both sides will be
tightened to the pipeline ends.
Seawater will be pumped into the pipeline from pressurization site to fill the water which is come
out during LP test heads removal, while the trapped air will be purged. Dedicated valves will be
kept open until all the air has been removed. When the water leak out, the valves will be closed.
After that two pipeline will be connected to each other with a flexible high pressure hose for
testing together.

4. Pressurize up to 90% test pressure (66.2 bar) at maximum 1 bar/min and check for leaks;
Doc. No.
HPP-PL-PRC-5-028
5. Pressurize up to 100% test pressure (73.5 bar) at approximately 0.15 bar/minute and
commence period of stabilization;
To carry out the above pressurization steps, operators will proceed as follow, under direct
coordination of Contractor representative located on pressurization site:
1. Operators at pressurization site to verify warning notices placement and test equipment
area boundaries delimitation by marker tapes;
2. Operators at pressurization site to verify injection system equipment connection and correct
installation of recording instrumentation.
3. Operators at discharge site to verify warning notices placement and test equipment area
boundaries delimitation by marker tapes;
4. Operators at discharge site to verify closed position of all test head piping isolation valves
and correct installation of recording instrumentation;
5. Operators at pressurization site to start high pressure positive displacement pump, injecting
freshwater or filtered sea water and to act in order to obtain a pipeline internal pressure
increasing gradient of 1 bar/min
From this moment, all measurements and recording of pressures and temperatures value will start,
and continue monitoring of potential leaks of entire pipeline will also be started.
6. Operators at pressurization site to continue to inject water, with high pressure positive
displacement pump, maintaining a pipeline internal pressure increasing gradient of 1
bar/min, as constant as possible, up to reach 35 bar test pressure;
7. Operators at pressurization site to stop high pressure positive displacement pump and
isolate the pipeline;
8. Operators at pressurization site, after few minutes of stabilization, to perform air inclusion
assessment.
9. Operators at pressurization site, based on above test data, to carry out calculation checks
as described above;
Should the air content be > to 0.2% the operation will be interrupted, the pipeline depressurized,
and an additional swabbing pig run, before new pressurization can restart with Client and
Contractor authorisation, following the same operations and phases.
If the calculated air content is <= to 0.2% on whole pipeline, the pressurization phase can be
continued under Client and Contractor assessment, as follows:
10. Operators at pressurization site to re-open pipeline isolation valve and restart high pressure
positive displacement pump, acting in order to obtain a pipeline internal pressure increasing
gradient of maximum 1 bar/min ;
Doc. No.
HPP-PL-PRC-5-028
All measurements and recording of pressures and temperatures value will be restarted/continued,
on pressurizing location, and monitoring of potential leaks of entire pipeline will always continue.
11. Operators at pressurization site to continue to inject filtered water, with high pressure
positive displacement pump, maintaining a pipeline internal pressure increasing gradient of
maximum 1 bar/min as constant as possible up to reach 50% test pressure;
After few minutes of stabilization, with leak checks always active, if no significant pressure
decreasing recorded, the pressurization can be continued under Client and Contractor assessment,
as follows:
gradient of 1 bar/min ;
on pressurizing location, monitoring of potential leaks of entire pipeline will always continue.
displacement pump, maintaining a pipeline internal pressure increasing gradient of
maximm1 bar/min as constant as possible up to reach 75% test pressure;
After few minutes of stabilization with leak checks always active, if no significant pressure
as follows:
positive displacement pump and act in order to obtain a pipeline internal pressure
increasing gradient of maximum 1 bar/min ;
on both on shore locations, monitoring of potential leaks of entire pipeline will always continue.
displacement pump, maintaining a pipeline internal pressure increasing gradient of 1
bar/min as constant as possible up to reach 90% test pressure;
After few minutes of stabilization with leak checks always active, if no significant pressure
as follows:
Doc. No.
HPP-PL-PRC-5-028
gradient of maximum 0,15 bar/min ;
on pressurizing location, monitoring of potential leaks of entire pipeline will always continue.
displacement pump, maintaining a pipeline internal pressure increasing gradient of 0,15
bar/min as constant as possible up to reach 100% test pressure;
With the above pipeline status, the pressurization phase can be considered completed and
stabilization phase can be started.
7.3.3 Stabilization
As soon as the temperature stabilization have been assessed as reached, by Contractor and Client
representatives, a final pressurization to reach 100% hydrostatic test pressure, will be carried out
as with described in above, maintaining an internal pressure increasing gradient of approximately
0,15 bar/min ;
When test pressure is reached, with Client authorisation, the stabilization period is completed and
hold period can start. The water temperature in the pipeline must be stable (+-1 deg) before
starting the holding period.
7.3.4 Hold Period
Once the temperature and pressure have stabilized, by Client approval the hold period may
commence.
The pressure will be held for a period of time of 8 hours. During the test period the following
parameters will be recorded:
Temperature and pressure shall be recorded simultaneously every hour.
If it is necessary to discharge water to decrease the pressure, the trapped water will be accurately
measured and recorded.
7.3.5 Test Evaluation
Hydro Test will be considered successfully completed if the pressure recorded on the pressure
recording instrument, linked to the pressure sensor, after 8 hours, will have the same value of the
Doc. No.
HPP-PL-PRC-5-028
starting holding time, or if the difference between both pressures can be correlated to potential
temperature difference between the final and starting time holding temperatures.
Hydro Test will be considered completed under Client and Contractor jointly assessment, with
Client written approval.
In the event of an unexplained pressure loss the cause shall be investigated, a visual examination
to HP test heads, valves and connections will be carried on. In case a leak is identified it shall be
rectified and the hold period repeated. If it has been necessary to depressurize the pipeline in
order to rectify the leak, then the pipeline shall be re-pressurized and the stabilization and hold
period repeated.
In the event no leak is found, the pipeline will be depressurized and water added with fluorescein
will be detected to all pipeline length.
At no time during the hold period shall the pressure drop below hydrostatic test pressure level,
unless the pressure drop is accounted for any temperature fluctuations.
7.3.6 Depressurization
Once the Client or its Representative provides written approval, upon test completion, as above
described, the pipeline will be slowly depressurized at a rate 0.5 bar/minute from test pressure to
90% of the test pressure and depressurising will continue to ambient pressure at a rate of 1
bar/min.
