Presentation Summary
5- Inspection Activities/Results/Recommendations
7- Strategies- Inspection/Monitoring/Mitigation
System Description
Everest, EPM and Lomond have facilities to inject chemicals to mitigate against potential problems and improve plant
efficiency. Chemicals can minimise effect on wells due to reservoir formation damage, impact of subsea or well
intervention on topsides production facilities, as well as prevent potential plant upsets. However, their main function is
to guarantee good quality export oil and gas and produced water to overboard while having minimal impact on the
environment or plant integrity.
The Everest and Lomond bulk chemical storage area can hold up to 5 tote tanks and bund can hold the full contents of
one tote tank if required. The standard chemicals supplied from the chemical package include corrosion inhibitor for
specific systems on the platform and methanol. The Lomond also has facilities to inject corrosion inhibitor for the
multiphase import fluids, anti-foulant and scale inhibitor for use on the EPM.

Monitoring
There are no on-line corrosion monitoring facilities within the ELE chemicals systems - not deemed necessary.
There are on-line chemical sampling facilities through out the platforms.
When plant shuts down, pumps may or may not s/d automatically dependant on the extent of the s/d. Ops techs
monitor operating regime and act accordingly.
Inspection monitoring is also carried out in these systems, and has mainly been visual to date.

Overdues (Inspection):
Lomond none overdue 5 pending in look ahead for August 2004 (in use EPM tanks)
Everest none overdue none pending in look ahead
Glycol overheads inhibitor injection via tank since drains failures in 2001.
Looking into changing scale inhibitor used on Erskine to negate need for EPM SI addition.
DRA injection on Lomond trial started in 2002 now permanent but original tank decommissioned DRA
supplied via tote tank so has no tag number designation. WGE starting to engineer new set up with tote
tank on EPM weather deck at this time.
Pumps: Lomond CI pump (poor condition & difficult to calibrate identical Everest pump calibrates easily).
System Strategies
Chemical and Monitoring Strategy
Corrosion control matrices revised and issued (March 04) no specific activities identified for
maintaining/assessing the integrity of the chemical system. (KPIs exist for chemical injection).
Inspection Strategy
Vendor chemical injection skids (vessels and piping) to be scheduled correctly in Maximo
Expand inspection scope to include UT checks opposite chemical injection points and tank inspections
as per PIR recommendations to date based on sampling for EPM tanks.
Temp set up for glycol overheads (pump skid & drum) and Lomond DRA addition (tote tank) Swires responsible for
inspection?
DRA injection on Lomond to be made permanent as chemical has been successful WGE progressing tank set up.
MSDS sheets show chemicals to be compatible with tank and all supply pipe work materials.
Checks required to confirm chemical compatibility for all in service elastomers and metals that could be in contact.
Potentially changing NUI scale inhibitor so EPM chemical may not be required and EPM chemical storage tanks
movement for MLP work.
Limited inspection history for tanks and no UT information opposite injection locations.
Opportune inspection of EPM tanks due to repositioning for MPL work to be under taken.
Fabric maintenance seems to be an ongoing issue within this system for tanks, pumps, and skid pipe work.
No register for regular sampling and injection points for each platform available onshore.
THE THREATS AGAINST THE ELE CHEMICALS SYSTEM (INCLUDING PIPING & VESSELS) WERE
CONSIDERED AND INSPECTION & MITIGATION ACTIVITIES/ RESULTS/ACTIONS REVIEWED
BASED ON THE ABOVE, IT IS THE OPINION OF THE ELE INTEGRITY TEAM THAT THE CHEMICALS
SYSTEM IS CURRENTLY CONSIDERED FIT FOR SERVICE.
A NUMBER OF ACTIONS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED TO MITIGATE AGAINST THE HIGHER RISK AREAS
IDENTIFIED DURING THIS REVIEW. THE ACTIVITIES IDENTIFIED IN THE CORROSION CONTROL
MATRICES MUST BE ADHERED TO.
ANY DETERIORATION IDENTIFIED THROUGH INSPECTION, MONITORING OR SAMPLING,
CHANGES IN PROCESS CONDITIONS/PLANT OPERATIONS OR UNSATISFACTORY CLOSURE OF
ACTIONS WILL BRING THE REVIEW DATE FORWARD.
THE NEXT SCHEDULED CHEMICAL SYSTEM REVIEW MEETING IS SCHEDULED FOR
APRIL 2006.
2.
