新型水下系统 释放海上油气价值（上）

Baker Hughes (BHGE) has announced the launch of its new approach to subsea development: Subsea Connect, including its Aptara TOTEX-lite subsea system, a suite of new lightweight, modular technologies designed for the full life of field. By combining planning and risk management, new modular deepwater technology, innovative partnerships and digital tools into a single offering, Subsea Connect can reduce the economic development point of subsea projects by an average of 30% and has the potential to unlock an additional 16 billion bbl of reserves globally.

With its fullstream portfolio and ability to make better connections across the development process, BHGE is positioned to influence approximately 80% of the costs associated with offshore projects. This provides an opportunity to lower operators’ CAPEX and OPEX requirements and transform unsanctioned projects into commercially-viable ones.

“In recent years, our industry has made good progress in lowering the cost of subsea projects to the point where they have become more competitive with onshore developments,” Neil Saunders, President & CEO of BHGE’s Oilfield Equipment business, said. “While the gap has narrowed, we are taking that to the next level with Subsea Connect, making long-lasting, sustainable change and driving value from concept to commissioning and over the full life of field.”

Subsea Connect is a combination of four key solutions:

• Project Connect: BHGE’s independent workflow begins with targeted project outcomes, offering customers independent, flexible project assessment and management. The Project Connect approach eliminates project recycle, reduces cost and project overruns, and increases speed to Final Investment Decision (FID). BHGE’s unmatched breadth and depth of capability across the value chain enables early engagement at the concept evaluation phase and greater collaboration, transforming project economics.
• Reservoir to Topsides Technology Solutions: BHGE’s fullstream capability covers all aspects of a development, from the reservoir to the topside. This goes beyond the subsea scope and includes reservoir management, field development, well construction, topside optimization and subsea engineering. BHGE’s Aptara TOTEX-lite subsea system includes the lightweight compact tree, modular compact manifold, composite flexible risers, SFX wellhead solution, modular compact pump and subsea connection systems. These technologies are modular, structured, compact and designed to be more responsive to changing conditions across the life of field, cutting total cost of ownership by up to 50%.
• Flexible Partnerships and Commercial Models: BHGE’s partnership model is flexible and designed to leverage relationships with the most efficient, established partners to meet customers’ needs and improve project economics. BHGE’s innovative commercial solutions, aligned with customer priorities, help to unlock additional value.
• Digital Enablement: BHGE is layering critical technologies with next-generation digital solutions to drive greater uptime and enhance productivity. BHGE’s engageSubsea asset lifecycle management solution is one example, designed to optimize the planning, execution, and connectivity of subsea projects, resulting in enhanced execution and remote management of asset maintenance. engageSubsea will drive up to a 2% reduction in maintenance costs, and up to a 5% reduction in downtime through predictive analytics.

“We’re already delivering against Subsea Connect,” Mr Saunders said. “In addition to the introduction of new technology solutions, we have invested significantly in structuring our subsea production systems (SPS) portfolio to ensure shorter lead times – by as much as 30% – and quicker responses, evidenced by our comprehensive SPS Catalogue, which includes a full suite of ‘Make to Order,’ ‘Configure to Order’ and ‘Engineer to Order’ variants. We have also signed an agreement with a major operator to provide the Aptara lightweight compact tree for deployment next year.”

Subsea Connect, the Aptara TOTEX-lite subsea system and BHGE’s SPS Catalogue were unveiled to E&P customers at a launch event in Houston, TX.

Aptara™ Lightweight Compact Tree

Up to 50% lighter, designed for life of field flexibility

Our revolutionary Aptara™ Lightweight Compact Tree is lightweight and compact and uses our life-of-field approach to reduce not just initial CAPEX but also OPEX over the entire life of your field. This TOTEX-lite approach uses a unique industry-first cap design that allows it to be adapted on the seabed to address the changing requirements of your field over its life.

innovative design, lightweight, adaptable to your production needs

The Aptara™ Lightweight Compact Tree system adapts as your needs change through the entire life of your field, with a plug and play capability in the cap without the need to introduce additional subsea equipment like subsea boosting.  It has a significantly reduced footprint compared with traditional deepwater subsea trees, which means 50% less weight and the potential to reduce TOTEX (CAPEX + OPEX) by more than 50%.  The Aptara™ tree allows you to evolve your tree system to suit changing reservoir conditions. Its unique patented industry-first design involves an innovative flow path and ‘caps’ for the tree that integrate functionality such as High Integrity Pipeline Protection (HIPPS) or add boosting capability to reduce your overall development cost or increase reservoir recovery.

The life-of-field cap also facilitates conversion of subsea wells from producer to water injection, adapting your subsea infrastructure to meet your reservoir management needs.

SELECT FEATURES

• Designed for entire life of field flexibility
• Innovative flow path enabling installation of HIPPS, production and pumping caps without need for other subsea kit through life of field
• Up to 50% lighter
• 10-month lead time
• Smart real-time monitoring

Aptara™ Modular Compact Manifold

hallenging complexity with simplicity

BHGE is rethinking the future of subsea fields. We are simplifying the complex by launching the new Aptara™  family of TOTEX-lite products. The Aptara™ modular compact manifold is part of this family of light and smart subsea equipment designed to reduce the total cost of ownership over the life of your field.

Compact design with enhanced operability and reliability

Our Aptara™ ,modular compact manifold system has been developed to address the need for modular, pre-engineered manifolds that use off-the-shelf components, reducing cycle time cost and footprint. The new compact manifold from BHGE has been designed to challenge complexity with simplicity.

The Aptara™ manifold design uses a 4-slot or 6-slot dual header configuration to suit your pipeline requirements and 5-inch or 7-inch branch valve blocks for its branch valve connections, with separate header piping. The manifold branch valves are identical to our Aptara lightweight compact tree system valves (e.g. 5-inch trees require 5-inch manifold branch valves), pushing the boundaries of standardization to the next level. This enables large volume purchase of components like valves and forgings, allowing us to hold the stock you need – reducing cost and lead time.
