What is an Umbilical
Subsea Applications
•Tie-back to on-shore facility
•Tie-back to off-shore facility

Subsea Umbilical Tieback Concepts
Moored Semi Sub Tie-back to Shore

Umbilical Function – Control System
The subsea well and production/injection has to be controlled and

monitored. The well shall be controlled in modes such as:
● Drilling
● Completion
● Production
● Intervention
● Injection
● PCS provides the means to control and monitor the operation of

subsea production from a remote location.
● This involves:
 Functioning position of valves and chokes.
 Monitoring of temperature and pressure down Hole, Xmas Tree, and
Manifold.
 Contains the logic for emergency shut down sequences.
 Automatic shutdown from loss of electrical power/controls and in the
event of loss of hydraulic pressure supply.

Umbilical - Tubes and/or Hoses and Cables/Fibre
Optics
Fibre Optic Signal transmission

Umbilical Elements and Their Functions
 Power cable
• Transport of power to the (SCM) computer and 3rd party
instrumentation
 Signal cable/FO cable
• Transfer/receive signals to/from the subsea control module
 Hydraulic lines
• Transport of hydraulic fluids to operate valves (including safety
valves) on x-mas tree/manifold
 Chemical lines
• Transport chemicals for injection into the production flow.
■ Scale Inhibitor Injection
● Why?
To prevent scale formation and remove scale deposits at the formation
face and on downhole equipment
● How?
Batch treatment, by squeezing inhibitor into the producing formation
and/or continuous injection
● Where?
Subsea tree, downhole
■ Corrosion Inhibitor Injection
● Why?
To prevent corrosion and reduce corrosion rate by forming a protective
coating on metal surfaces
● How?
Batch treatment and/or continuous injection or together with other
stimulation fluids

Umbilical Elements & Functions
■ Asphaltene Inhibitor Injection
● Why?
To prevent/decrease the build-up of asphaltene and paraffin
deposits which may form as the oil is produced and the
pressure drops

Squeeze treatment, continuous injection or together with
other stimulation fluids

Umbilical Design –Difference Between the Suppliers
■ Traditionally, the cable and umbilical industry lay the elements at
steep helix angle and are protected from excessive loading by
armoring.
■ The Aker Solutions Steel Tube Umbilical Concept is to utilize the
capacity in the tube as strength elements.
Characteristic of Aker Subsea Umbilical

■ Low helix lay-angle (~2deg)
 Limited internal radial force generated at high umbilical tension.
 High torsion stability.
■ Helical elements radial supported in separate conduits

 High crush load capacity for deep water installation.
 Robust fatigue properties.
■ No need for separate armouring system.

 If increased axial stiffness is required due to high strain, additional helix
elements of a suitable material are added to the cross section.
■ Design flexibility
 The umbilical is “tuned” to meet any water depth or environmental condition by
adding weight elements or stiffness elements into the cross section.

The PVC Profile Functionality
The PVC profiles in the Aker Subsea umbilical have a
multi-purpose functionality:
 Give protection and to correctly space the internal

elements in the umbilical cross section.
 Extremely good protection for impact loads
 the PVC profiles absorb the impact energy
efficiently through elastic deformation.
 good protection from sharp edges
 Provide individual support for each of the internal
elements
 prevent build up of accumulated radial contact force
 support the tubes from bird-caging even at high
compression loads.
 Good capability to take high loads in installation
tensioner
 High cross section lay-out flexibility
 At places where bending occurs, the internal elements
move relative to each other. Low frictional effects

Umbilical Elements and Their Functions
 Weight elements
• Steel wire elements to increase the
weight of the umbilical. Required for
seabed stability or to increase
weight/diameter ratio for dynamic
umbilicals.
• Steel tape to increase seabed stability
or to meet clients requirements for
armouring.

Armouring
■ According to ISO 13628-5 there are three reasons for applying
armouring to an umbilical:
● Adding weight
● Torsional balance
● Mechanical strength – strain member
■ For designs without load bearing tubes
■ To prevent excessive straining

Outer Sheathing
■ Outer Sheathing Functionality:

● Keep the bundle of elements
together
● Protection during handling and
installation
● Must be able to run through a
Caterpillar (belt track) during
installation
● Provide high visibility during
installation
● Shall have a lay line of
contrasting color to monitor
twist during installation.

■ Types of Umbilicals
● Thermoplastic (TSP)
● Steel Tube Umbilical (STU).
■ Thermoplastic
● Hydraulic lines: PE hoses with high strength aramid fibre reinforcement and
steel wire armouring.
● High collapse resistant TSP umbilicals – able to go to WD up to 1700m.
● Fluid permeability and crush resistance constraints.
● Response time of PE hoses.
■ Steel Tube
● Hydraulic lines: Steel tube typically SAF 2507.
● Longer offsets.
● Minimum bend radius.
● Fatigue life.

■ Main elements within umbilicals
● Hydraulic and chemical lines – PE hoses or SAF 2507 Super duplex stainless
steel.
● Power cables – SPS typically 10-16mm2 twisted screened pairs / triads / quads.
● Fibre optics – Communication lines.
● PVC profiles – segregation of elements.
● Weight stability – Steel banding or steel wire rods.
● Armouring – To protect the electrical and hydraulic / chemical elements.
● Outersheath – Jacketing aids in mechanical and environment protection of the

umbilical for handling and installation on caterpillar track. Provides visibility.

Umbilical Design Criteria
■ The selection of materials for tubes vs hoses is often done by the client
based on a total evaluation of:
● Water Depth / Pressure / Offsets/ Complexity of the umbilical
● What Fluids / Chemicals to be used?
● Static or Dynamic or a combination
● Risk / Reliability
● Field Life
● Installation
● Cost

Dynamic Analysis
■ Dynamic Analysis is part of the verification work

required to ensure that the Umbilical cross-section is
suitable, in combination with a defined configuration, to
operate at a specific location for the expected lifetime
of the field.
■ Dynamic Analysis is performed using various FE

simulation tools using time domain analysis approach.
■ Simulation tools all try to copy “real life” into a

computer software.
■ The computer software used by Aker Solutions is

Flexcom. Flexcom uses an industry-proven finite
element formulation for reliable and accurate modelling
of slender offshore structures.
