2.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report has been prepared for Chevron Vietnam Exploration Ltd (Company) as part
of FEED design. Riser Tie-in spool stress analyses has been performed for the
following risers and associated tie-in spools at CPP platform.

20 Riser and associated tie-in spool at CPP corresponding to 20 pipeline from
KLC-F to CPP

20 Riser and associated tie-in spool at CPP corresponding to 20 pipeline
from CVC-B to CPP

8.625 Riser and associated tie-in spool at CPP corresponding to 8.625
condensate pipeline from CPP to FSO PLEM

This report also covers the pressure containment and VIV checks for the following
risers pre-installed on CPP platform for future tie-ins.

1 x 20-inch Production Riser at CPP (To KLC-F)
1 x 20-inch Production Riser at CPP (To CVC-B)
1 x 10.75-inch Water Injection Riser at CPP
1 x 20-inch South Production Riser at CPP

The objective of this stress analysis report is to confirm the structural integrity of the
proposed riser and its tie-in spool configuration at CPP platform in accordance with
ASME B31.8/B31.4 [Ref.2 & 3]. The battery limit of the riser for this analysis is the
hanger clamp at EL +4.500. The riser portion above the hanger clamp at EL +4.500
is outside the scope of this report.

Riser span vortex induced vibration (VIV) analysis has been performed in
accordance with DNV-RP-F105 [Ref.4] to determine the allowable riser span lengths
which will prevent vortex induced in-line and cross-flow vibrations. Based on the
computed allowable span lengths, riser clamp locations have been verified for
acceptability ensuring no VIV. In-house spreadsheet is used to compute riser
allowable VIV span lengths. The calculations take into account the environmental
loadings as applicable at various elevations of the riser. The VIV span analysis is
performed for operating condition based on 100-year return period current and 1-year
return period significant wave parameters. The VIV span analysis methodology is
presented in Section 4.0.

The static stress analysis of the riser-spool system has been performed using FEA
software AUTOPIPE, Version 09.00.00. The analysis model comprises of riser, tie-in
spool and 50m long pipeline section. Simple pipe beam and bend elements have
been used. Hanger clamp and other riser clamps are simulated by defining
appropriate restraint types. AUTOPIPE Soil module is used to model the seabed, and



for the interaction between the pipe and seabed soil. Pipeline expansion determined
from Pipeline Expansion Analysis Report [Ref.6] has been applied at the pipeline end
of the model. The environmental loading has been generated using AUTOPIPEs
wave module, employing Stokes 5
th
Order wave theory. The stress analysis has been
performed for four storm directions viz. towards platform East (U1), platform South
(U2), platform West (U3) and platform North (U4). The analysis incorporates platform
deflections for environmental load conditions based on structural in-place strength
analysis results.

The riser and tie-in spool stress analysis has been performed for the following load
conditions using design pressure and maximum operating temperature.

Functional
Functional +Environmental

The operational riser stress analysis with slug loads is also carried out as an
equivalent static analysis based on slug loads with DLF of 2.0 being applied as
concentrated loads at each of the spool and riser bends. The stress analysis
methodology is explained in Section 4.0.

The structural integrity of the analyzed 20/8.625 riser-spool systems at CPP has
been confirmed ensuring pipe stresses to be within the ASME B31.8/B31.4, which is
applicable.

The stress analysis results and discussions are presented in Section 5.0.
Conclusions and Recommendations are outlined in Section 6.0.

Note:

The conservative maximum inlet operating temperature and associated temperature
profiles received from the results of Flow Assurance Analysis has been used in
current riser tie-in spool stress analysis presented in this report. Subsequently, based
on the GOT (Gulf of Thailand) experience, and anticipated mixing of production from
various wells, Company has provided with more realistic revised maximum operating
temperature profiles (as presented in Ref.1) for use in pipeline FEED. The Riser Tie-
in spool stress analysis report will be updated to incorporate the revised temperature
profiles during FEED follow-on phase.

4.0 ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
4.1 General

The structural integrity of the riser and associated tie-in spool at CPP shall satisfy the
design requirements of ASME B31.8/B31.4 whichever is applicable [Ref. 2 & 3]. As
part of verifying structural integrity of the riser-spool system, the following have been
performed:

Riser Span VIV Analysis
Stress analysis of riser and tie-in spool system
Flange Equivalent Pressure Check
Pressure containment checks for future risers

Sections below describe the methodology adopted for riser VIV span analysis and
the stress analysis for riser-spool system.

4.2 Riser Span VIV Analysis

The riser span VIV analysis establishes the maximum spacing between the riser clamps
based on the limiting dynamic spanning criteria i.e. susceptibility to vortex induced
vibration, either in-line or cross-flow. The riser VIV span analysis has been performed for
operating condition. The allowable span calculations have been performed for 1 year
wave and 100 year current condition.

Each of the riser spans has been verified taking into consideration the VIV due to fluid
flow. Vortex shedding generating a riser dynamic response is dependent on:

Environment (wave and current)
Self weight

The potential for the fluid flow passing the riser inducing in-line or cross-flow excitation
due to the shedding of vortices has been evaluated following the guidelines set by DNV
RP-F105 [Ref. 4]. Based on the riser span VIV analysis results, the riser clamp spacings
are verified to ensure that neither in-line nor cross flow vibration occurs for combined
current and wave loading.

The VIV span assessment is based on the following criteria:

Screening Fatigue Criteria in-line VIV
Screening Fatigue Criteria Cross-flow VIV

The screening fatigue criteria have been calibrated against full fatigue analysis to provide
a fatigue life in excess of 50 years [Ref.2].



The riser span VIV analysis has been performed using Contractors validated in-
house spreadsheet. The wave kinematics, which is input to the span calculations,
have been computed using J P Kennys PipeCalc program. The riser VIV span
calculations are included in Appendix A.

4.3 Riser Stress Analysis

Stress analysis using AUTOPIPE software has been performed to evaluate riser and
tie-in spool structural integrity at CPP.

4.3.1 Software Description

AUTOPIPE software Version 09.00.00 has been used. AUTOPIPE is industry-
accepted commercially available FEA software used to perform piping stress analysis
and design. The software has capability to analyze risers and tie-in spools complying
offshore design code requirements.

AUTOPIPE uses simple beam and bend elements and the defined loading conditions
to analyze complex piping systems subjected to static and dynamic loading. The
analysis model may be subjected to operating, buoyancy and wave loading
depending on the load case and any load combination can be analysed by defining
appropriate load components. The software also has the capability to model soil pipe
interaction which enables to simulate pipeline on seabed. Structural interaction with
piping elements is represented by defining appropriate restraints.

AUTOPIPE performs pipe stress analysis using the defined input parameters such
as,
- pipe parameters like OD, WT, corrosion allowance, material density, SMYS
etc.,
- operational parameters like temperature, pressure, product density etc.,
- uniform load due to wave and current action (hydrodynamic loading)
- external displacements like pipeline expansion, platform deflection or
support height etc.
- boundary conditions and system restraints like anchor, guide, +y supports
or spring supports etc.
- slug loading in the form of point load on bends

With the above input, for any selected load combination, AUTOPIPE produces
results in the form of displacements, global and local element forces, restraint forces
and stresses for each element of the analysed piping system.




4.3.2 Analysis Model

The geometry and configuration of the riser and its tie-in spool modelled for the
analysis is based on CPP riser and tie-in spool arrangement and approach drawings
developed as part of FEED [Ref. 7 & 8], which are included in Appendix D.

The riser-spool stress analysis model consists of riser, associated tie-in spool and
50m long pipeline section resting on seabed. The riser slope, bend angles and
pipeline approach angle are correctly represented in the 3-dimensional analysis
model.

The riser, tie-in spool and pipeline sections are modelled as a system of finite
elements using beam and bend elements. 10% bend wall thinning has been
considered in the analysis. The piping support system comprising anchors, +Y
supports and guide restraints are incorporated as applicable. AUTOPIPE Soil module
is used to model the seabed, for the interaction between the pipe and seabed soil.
Design pressure, temperature and other operating parameters are defined as input
data. The pipeline expansion is applied as displacement at the end of the modelled
pipeline section. Platform deflections are incorporated as displacements at riser
clamp/support locations.

Nodes are specified at riser clamp or other support locations and at locations where
there is change in material properties, coating properties, marine growth etc. so as to
set up a more realistic model.

Model Restraints

Hanger clamp at riser top is anchored. Riser clamps are modelled as guide supports
which, prevent pipe lateral movement but allows vertical upward and downward
movement. The riser is free to rotate about its axis.

AUTOPIPE Soil module is used to model the seabed. The following parameters are
input in the AUTOPIPE Soil module.

Soil resistance to downward pipe movement in vertical direction =Pipe Submerged
weight

Soil resistance to axial pipe movement =Axial friction factor x Pipe Submerged weight

Soil resistance to lateral pipe movement =Lateral friction factor x Pipe Submerged
weight




AUTOPIPE creates soil springs at every 1m spacing. The soil stiffness (K) per one
meter is determined as follows:

d
W
= K
s

Where: W
s
= Pipe submerged weight (kg/m)
d = Pipe settlement (m)

4.3.3 Key Input

Design pressure, temperature and other operating parameters are defined as input
data. Maximum content density has been used in the analysis for operating condition.
The rest of the key input is presented below.

Equivalent Density

Since there is no provision in AUTOPIPE to input individual coating thicknesses and
densities, an equivalent insulation thickness and density has been input.

Hydrodynamic Loading

Hydrodynamic loading has been applied using AUTOPIPEs wave module.
AUTOPIPE computes hydrodynamic loading using Morisons equations. Stokes 5
th

Order wave theory has been used to calculate the flow velocities and the
accelerations.

The UDL has been calculated using Morisons equations as given below:

F

A = Particle acceleration




The values of hydrodynamic coefficients as presented in Section 3.7.4 have been
used.

100-year maximum wave and coincident current values have been used for operating
conditions.

Pipeline Expansion

The pipeline end expansion has been input at the pipeline section end of the
AUTOPIPE analysis model. The pipeline end expansion values for operating
conditions are based on Pipeline Expansion Analysis Report [Ref.6]. Full expansion
is applied at end of the pipeline model and the expansion values are presented in
Table 4.1 below.

Table 4-1 Pipeline End Expansion Input

Pipeline Expansion
(mm)
20 Pipeline KLC-F to CPP CPP 436
20 Pipeline CVC-B to CPP CPP 524
8.625 Pipeline CPP to FSO PLEM CPP 377

Note :
The above pipeline expansion values are based on the conservative maximum inlet operating
temperature and associated temperature profiles received from the results of Flow Assurance
Analysis. As mentioned in Section 3.3, the Riser Tie-in spool stress analysis report will be
updated to incorporate the pipeline expansions based on the revised temperature profiles
during FEED follow-on phase.

Platform Displacements

The platform displacements are input as imposed displacements at riser clamp
elevations. Appropriate platform displacements are considered in the riser tie-in spool
stress analysis.

Slug Load

Slug loads are considered in the riser tie-in spool stress analysis as per slug data
tabulated in Pipeline and Riser Design Basis.




The slug load has been applied at each bend location as concentrated load using
DLF of 2.0. Load cases comprising slug load being applied at each bend location
have been analysed.

5.3 Flange Equivalent Pressure Checks

Flange equivalent pressure checks have been carried out for all the flanges for the
bending moment and axial force extracted from riser tie-in spool stress analysis. It is
found that the proposed flange ratings (600#for 20 pipeline/riser/spool and 300#for
8.625 pipeline/riser/spool) are suitable for the risers and spools at CPP. Flange
equivalent pressure check calculations are presented in Appendix-C.




6.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
6.1 Conclusions

The following conclusions have been drawn based on the stress analyses performed
using design pressure and operating temperature in this report for the 20/8.625 risers
and associated tie-in spools at CPP platform.

The proposed riser clamps for 20 & 8.625 risers ensure no in-line or cross-
flow vortex induced vibrations and meeting DNV RP F105 requirements.
Hence the proposed number of riser clamps and their elevations are
acceptable.
The maximum stresses (Hoop, Longitudinal and Combined) induced in the
riser are all within allowable stress limit as stipulated by ASME B31.8/B31.4
whichever is applicable.
The proposed spool layout and riser configuration at CPP (Ref. 7 &8) for both
20 risers and 8.625 riser meet pipe stress requirement. Therefore, it is
concluded that the riser-spool system is structurally adequate to serve the
intended purpose during its design life.
The proposed riser clamps for 20 and 10.75 future risers ensure no in-line or
cross-flow vortex induced vibrations and meeting DNV RP F105
requirements. Hence the proposed number of riser clamps and their
elevations are acceptable.
Proposed wall thicknesses for 20 and 10.75 future risers meet the pressure
containment criteria as per ASME B31.8/B31.4 whichever is applicable.

6.2 Recommendations

Based on the Riser Tie-in spool stress analyses presented in this report, the following
are recommended.

The proposed spool configurations for 20 and 8.625 risers shall be further
verified during detailed engineering based on the changes in pipeline
approaches, other design/operating data, CPP platform displacements and
installability.

Flange integrity design checks (600 #for 20 pipelines and 300#for 8.625
pipeline) shall be performed by flange manufacturer during detailed
engineering based on actual bending moment and axial forces.

The CPP risers hanger and guide clamps shall be designed to safely cater
the clamp loads established during detailed engineering.
