1. INTRODUCTION
Erha field was developed in 2006 and consists of a Floating, Production, Storage and
Offloading (FPSO) vessel connected to a subsea architecture and has a production capacity
of 210kbd. Over the service years, reliability of the Hydro-cyclone and Instrument air
systems have dropped. This scope of work is to help improve the reliability of the asset
associated with the hydro-cyclone and Instrument air Systems to deliver expected
production at 80kbd. The specific scope includes:
The Scope of Work covers detailed engineering design, materials selection for retrofit of
Hydro-cyclone. Contractor shall produce IFC drawings and documentations resulting from
the detailed engineering. Contractor shall also carry out as-building, updating and
developing all process, mechanical, instrumentation, electrical and structural drawings
affected by the modification scope.
Carry out fitness for service assessment on the existing skid and identify all the spools and
items on existing hydro cyclone skid that are in bad condition using the site findings already
done by client after validation. All items on the skid that are still in good condition shall be re-
used e.g., the pressure safety vales are in good physical condition but shall be re-used after
successful integrity test.
At the completion of the brownfield site visit, contractor shall produce a set of marked
drawings showing sections of the skid for replacement.
Carry out material study and review to produce specification(s) that will be less prone to the
highly corrosive environment on Erha (this includes all aspects of the installations on the
skid)
Provide data sheet and specifications for all the valves on the skid
Replace corroded installed kit on skid e.g. (pipe supports, instrument stand etc).

5.1.1. General
The design will check the existing and new deck framing beams that are directly supporting
the Instrument air dryer package for its strength capacity.
All loads derived for the purpose of this design have arrived at predominantly using the
guidelines of GP-25-01-01, API RP 2A WSD, AISC 360 and specifications given in the basis
of design. The Instrument air dryer weight is assumed to be 20tons as indicated in Erha –
Instrument Air Dryers Upgrade Scope of Work documents.
Figure 1.0 below shows the location of the proposed new Instrument air dryer on “module E”
also see ‘’ NGER-KO-NDDET-00-39081- Deck Modification_ Detail Structural Drawings’’.
Figure 1.0 – Deck Framing Plan Showing Proposed Air Dryer Location
The above figure shows the proposed location for the Instrument air dryer. The instrument
air dryer is located top side module ‘E’ between gridline ‘E1’ and ‘E2’ and mid-way between
gridline ‘A’ and ‘B’.
SACS 5.7 structural tool shall be used for the analysis and design of the structural elements.

Wind forces is calculated based on API RP-2A WSD formulations for a 1-year cycle
for operating conditions and a 100-yr cycle for extreme storm conditions as per GP
25-01-01U.
It corresponds to a 1-hour mean wind speed with a 3-sec gust at 10m above sea
level for individual members and a 5-sec gust for equipment skids less than 50m in
length. With reference to “NGER-WG-NBDES-SD-31747_Structural Design Basis”
the below wind speed is utilized.

The Instrument air dryer support shall be designed according to the requirements of
codes and standards defined in section 2.1 above. The input data and assumptions
for the design shall include but not limited to the following:
SACS 5.7 Structural tool shall be used for the analysis and design of the structural
elements:
The coordinate system used in the SACS model will be chosen as follows:
The Instrument air dryer is raised above the grating deck with steel deck pads.

The design load of the analysis shall be the self-weight of the supporting framing beams
including 10% contingency, weight of the instrument air dryer including 10% contingency,
live load (to take care of weight during maintenance) and wind load.
For simplicity, the analysis will only check the framing beams directly supporting the
instrument air dryer for strength.
The boundary condition for the analysis is described in section 5.2.2.3 below.
The analysis is carried out for the operating and extreme environmental conditions.

5.1.6.3 Deflection
Deflection of structural members relative to their end supports shall be in accordance with
GP 25-01-01. The below table shows the deflection limits for the structural elements
The section of deck beams that are supporting the Instrument air dryer is modelled in SACS.
Also modelled is the idealised instrument air dryer packaged (assumed to be a box structure,
considered to be dummy elements) to effectively capture the environmental load effect, and
the connecting members to connect the instrument air to the deck beam (also considered as
dummy elements).

5.3. Loading
All dead weight has been factored with partial safety factor of 1.1 to account for unforeseen
weights.
This loading includes the dead weight of the modelled framing beams which is automatically
generated by the computer model.
The dead weights have been factored by 1.1 in the SACS model for worst load effect.
This loading includes the weight of the Instrument air dryer and base skid components.
Since there is no available OEM information about the weigh, we assumed a total load of
20tons as stated in the scope of work document.
The weight is factored by 1.1 in the SACS model for worst load effect (contingency).
From the SACS file, total un-factored dead weight (EQW) = 199.2806kN
A uniform distributed live load intensity of 5.0kN/m2 has been applied on the modelled
framing beams to account for maintenance purpose. The deck beams are divided to 14
difference areas, so that the live load (area load) can be easily distributed to those area
The table below summarized the live load and its application.

Operating wind loads are generated from the operating wind speed for 1-year return period
of 33.8m/s at 10m (see basis of design).
Extreme wind loads are generated from the operating wind speed for 100-year return period
