1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
The Gbaran-026 Hook-up and F1B/ F22B Gas Development opportunity is part of
SPDC’s Single Wells opportunities portfolio for quick win delivery of gas to fill the gap in
Shell JV export gas value stream (NLNG T1 -T6) from 2020 at competitive CAPEX. The
opportunity entails developing 284.9 Bscf of gas and 11.7 MMstb of condensate from the
Gbaran F1000B and F2200B reservoirs. The GBAR-026 well, drilled in 2015, is part of
SPDC’s campaign to explore and develop High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT)
reservoirs around the Gbaran Area in a bid to increase its hydrocarbon resource volumes
and increase the robustness of gas supply to NLNG by early hook-up to production
through the Gbaran CPF. The drilling of Gbaran-026 confirmed the presence of
hydrocarbon in the F2200B reservoir and was also used to appraise the already proven
F1000B reservoir. It is proposed to drill a second NAG well (Gbaran-F1F22) from the
Gbaran 23/25/26 well cluster to carry out a 6-month Extended Well Test (EWT) of the
F2200B reservoir through the Gbaran CPF. Data gathered during the EWT will be used
to develop and secure approval for the F2200B RDP. Subsequently, the F2200B reservoir
will be fully developed by producing through the Gbaran CPF. Once F2200B is depleted,
the Gbaran-F1F22 well will be re-completed to target the crestal volumes on F1000B.
The Gbaran-026 Hook-up and F1B/ F22B Gas Development opportunity involves the
following:
 Drilling of GBAR-F1F22 NAG well from the GBAR-23/25/26 well cluster and
initial completion on F2200B to develop 49 Bscf of gas and 1.6 MMstb of
condensate. When F2200 is depleted, the well will be re-completed on the
shallower F1000B reservoir to develop 160 Bscf of gas and 5 MMstb of condensate.
 Completion of GBAR-026 on the F1000B reservoir to develop 79.5 Bscf of gas
and 2.7 MMstb of condensate.
 Laying of 10” x 5km bulk line from the Gbaran well cluster to Gbaran CPF and
tie-in of the 2 wells (GBAR-026 and BGAR-F1F22) to the bulk line via
standardized HPHT well hook-up system for production through the CPF.
 Laying of 48core FO cable from CPF to Gbaran NAG FAR and from the FAR to
the Hook-up skids
1.2 Project Scope
The GBAR-26 is located at the existing GBAR-23/25 wells cluster. The GBAR-F1F22
well will also be drilled from this cluster. The project scope involves the following:
 Complete the GBAR-26 well (located at GBAR-23/25/26 well cluster) on the
F2200 reservoir.
 Drill the GBAR-F1F22 well from the GBAR-23/25/26 well cluster and complete
the well initially on the F2200 reservoir.
 Lay 2 nos. 6” x 50m API 15,000 series SDSS flowlines from the GBAR-26 and
GBAR-F1F22 wells to their individual HPHT skids. Based on learnings from K2S,

 pipe routing should be done in such a way to minimise the length between wells
and the auto choke, hence reducing the impact of pressure settle out across the HP
(15000#) and LP (2500#) section on downstream equipment during OSD/ESD.
 Fabricate and install 2 nos HPHT skids (skid mounted well hook-up modules) at
the wellhead location (1 skid per well). Each well hook-up skid should consist of
the following:
o A 15,000psi rated, 6“SDSS flowline (Maximum wells CITHP of
12,500psi, but standardised to 15,000psi for SPDC wide HPHT wells)
o A 15,000psi series integral mechanical HIPPS system.
o A 15,000psi rated automated choke valve for flow/pressure control.
o A 15,000psi manual choke valve system for start-up.
o An ANSI 2500# Wet gas flow meter – preferably a dual venturi type or
One Subsea meter which does not require properties of the mixed stream
but only properties of the single phase for calibration.
o Gas sample connection point
o Automated sand detectors
o sand trap
o Earthing &Bonding
o Rectifier for DC power supply to Well Head Control Panel
o Vent pipe equipped with integrated liquid knock-out /maintenance drain
tank. Skid-edge/sidemounted lighting fittings for illuminating the skid
area.
o Electrical and Instrumentation cabinet (to serve as Field Auxiliary Room
– FAR)
o Lightning protection system
 Lay 2 nos. 6” x 20m 2500# DSS flowlines from the Gbaran-26 and Gbaran-F1F22
HPHT skids to the new bulkline
 Provision of a new 15,000psi rated mobile well equalization package at the well
location
 Lay 10-inch x 5km DSS bulk line with pig traps from the HPHT skid to Gbaran
CPF
 Install a tee for tie-in of GBAR-F1F22 & Gbaran-26 wells before the shutdown
valve on the bulk line.
 Tie-in the new bulk line to the Gbaran NAG slug catcher inlet header at the CPF
 Install shutdown valve on the bulk line at Gbaran CPF end
 Install chemical injection system for pressure equalisation and hydrate inhibition
 Tie-in the well control system to the Gbaran CPF Process Automation System
 Tie-in pipeline isolation system to the Gbaran CPF Safety Instrumented System as
shown below;
 Tie-in electrical power from the existing LV switch at the adjacent Gbaran remote
manifolds FAR.
