1.0 Introduction
1.1 WWRP Project Overview
1. Approximately 350 km east of the island of Newfoundland on the eastern edge of the Jeanne d’Arc
Basin, and approximately 50 km from both the Terra Nova and Hibernia fields. Water depth is
approximately 120 meters.
2. The WWRP will consist of a concrete
gravity structure (CGS) with topsides
consisting of drilling facilities, wellheads
and support services such as
accommodations for 120 to 130 persons,
utilities, a flare boom and a helideck.
3. There will be 20 well slots with each slot
planned to have two wells each (total well
count of 40 wells). Of the planned Figure 1: Wellhead Platform (WWRP) tied back to the
production wells, 8 are planned to utilize existing SeaRose FPSO
ESPs. The balance of the production wells are planned to be gas-lifted.
4. The primary function of the WWRP is drilling. There will be no oil storage in the CGS. Topsides will be
equipped with a test separator. All well fluids will be transported via subsea flowlines to the SeaRose
FPSO for processing, storage and offloading.
5. The platform topsides will consist of a drill deck with middle, cellar, and sub decks below. The majority
of coiled tubing and coil tubing deployed ESP services will be conducted on the middle deck.
6. Water depths in the White Rose field range from approximately 115 m to 120 m.
7. The Grand Banks region has a harsh environment due to the presence of intense mid-latitude low-
pressure systems during fall and winter, tropical cyclones in late summer and fall, and sea ice and
icebergs in spring.
8. There is a potential for superstructure icing to occur between November and May with the highest
potential for freezing spray being in February due to colder temperatures and high wind and wave
conditions.
9. Air temperatures in the region range from a minimum of –10°C to a maximum of 20°C. Winds in the
area are primarily from the west in winter and southwest in summer, and have been recorded at speeds
of up to 51 m/s (99 knots).
1.2 Request for Information & EOI
Husky Energy is requesting that vendor(s) propose system solutions for the electrical submersible pump
(ESP) system scope of work outlined within this West White Rose Project (WWRP) ESP Functional
Specification.
Vendors with responses submitted under the prior RFI will be automatically considered for invitation to bid
based on their submitted information. No resubmission is required; but vendors are free to supplement or
modify their prior submission if desired.
Page 4 of 33
2.0 Principal Requirements

2.1 Alternatively Deployed ESPs
In the interest of reducing well workovers and maintaining rig focus on new well delivery, ESP wells will utilize
Alternatively Deployed ESPs. Consideration is open only to systems facilitating rigless pump and motor
replacement via coil tubing, wireline or slickline. The core focus is maximizing production uptime (through
robust ESP design, quick change-out capability, and simplified completion architecture to drive higher
reliability).
The ability to offer both coil tubing and wireline deployed systems would be considered advantageous. When
invitations to bid are issued, Husky Energy may choose to consider only bids associated with a specific
deployment technology.

3.0 Subsurface Data

The following section provides a subsurface overview of ESP simulation and associated production targets.
The development plan includes 8-9 ESP wells. Data provided is based on a type well production and values
are estimated based on forecasted simulation in IPM software.
Integrated Production Modelling (IPM) is a Petroleum Experts modelling suite which allows engineers to
construct and integrate realistic models that take the effects of interacting reservoirs, wells, networks and
process facilities into account. IPM was used to model the West White Rose development and provide data
for ESP selection.
Trends provided were obtained from IPM using a coiled tubing deployed ESP as a base scenario. The base
scenario utilizes an ESP as a means of artificial lift; set at 3000m measured depth (MD). A Prosper (vertical
lift profile/inflow performance) model was based on 7” production tubing with 2 3/8” inner coil tubing string and
a flow path in the annular space between the 7” tubing and 2 3/8” string. The use of other ESP deployment
methods resulted in variations in subsequent data. Simulation results (production profiles, pressure and rate
plots, etc.) have uncertainty that is not demonstrated in the provided type case. During the design phase
these are to be used as a guideline with oil production being the target, considering there are uncertainties
within several reservoir characteristics used in the outcomes provided. However, the proposed vendor
designs are not limited to this well architecture.
Below, data is displayed from two type wells. These wells are representative of a higher and lower producing
well relative to others in the development plan.
3.1 IPM Model Outputs:
This section outlines the data provided using two type wells. Production profiles are based on a development
scenario with first oil in 2022.
3.1.1 IPM Assumptions
 8-9 ESP wells in development scenario

 Pumps are installed at initial production in this scenario, however, this is under evaluation
 ESPs have a power limitation of 1000 HP in IPM model, therefore pump and motor selection limit the
pump power and amperage
 IPM model takes the annual FPSO shutdown into account. The frequency and duration of the
temporary production shutdown is estimated and input into IPM, which affects subsequent model
outputs.
 One pump and one motor is used throughout the life of the well
Page 6 of 33
3.1.2 IPM Output Data Ranges
Data pertaining to liquid rate, water cut and productivity index (PI) can be found in the tables below for each
type well. Well 1 represents a high production well, and Well 2 represents a low production well.

3.3 Setting Depth Variations
IPM modelling was based on an assumption of 3000 m MD with a reservoir depth of approximately 3000-
3100 m TVDss. This, however, was an assumption for a deterministic case and not a constraint to be honored
by vendor.
Page 7 of 33
3.4 Solids and Gas Handling
3.4.1 Gas
Gas volume fraction is dependent on pump setting depth and is to be incorporated into the ESP gas handling
strategy. There is a gas cap present in portions of the field; however, gas cap (free gas) is not present directly
above the majority of the wells. Gas could potentially migrate to producers when drawdown occurs.
3.4.2 Solids
No sand production is predicted for open hole completion as the Ben Nevis Formation consists of very fine
grained sandstones which are moderately cemented with primarily calcium carbonate cement and
consequently are well lithified. The majority of debris produced to date (observed in separators) is from
perforation clean up. Vendor must consider flowback of drill mud on well startup.
3.4.3 Scale Management
The WWR reservoir is associated with a scaling tendency. Scale buildups in wells in the West White Rose
reservoir are expected to be made up of mostly CaCO3, with the potential for small volumes of FeCO3 and
BaSO4.
Scaling was reported (predicted) to be the most severe at the ESP intake and output. This is due to large
pressure drop experienced by the fluid when entering the pump and the temperature increase of the fluid
when leaving the pump.
3.5 Vendor Deliverables
1) Vendor to provide recommendations for pump/motor configurations for the life of each type well
including:
a) Pump/motor used for each of the following discrete production scenarios:
 Initial production, water cut development and limiting GVF.
 There is uncertainty associated with PI. Vendor is to consider impacts of high and low
side PI cases.
b) Recommended change out frequency due to MTTF/efficiency or changing production
conditions. Identify every recommended pump or motor change out based on the production
curve of each well.
c) Production data per well including, but not limited to:
 Pump and motor selected
 Frequency
 Pressure:
o Inflow/outflow performance TDH
o Pressure profile
 Temperature profile
 Oil /gas/water rates
 Setting depth
 PI
2) Vendor to provide production modelling for each well and note modeling software applied
Page 8 of 33
3) Vendor to outline pump sizing philosophy during design phase, Husky modeling software availability
and vendor modeling approach
4) Vendor to describe limiting factors for pump selection/sizing and outline production ranges that are
expected per well with the proposed system
5) Vendor to provide pump and motor curves used in the analysis
6) Vendor to provide detailed pump specifications (impeller/diffuser specs/number of stages etc.)
7) Vendor to provide pump system(s) used per well and redundancy philosophy
8) Vendor to propose gas handling approach and associated equipment
9) Vendor to provide feedback based on the subsurface data provided, as the IPM model is used as a
production tool and has limitations for pump sizing and selection
10) Vendor to provide solids handling strategy considering solids flowback due to perforation debris, mud
flowback or reservoir solids (although not anticipated). Vendor must consider flowback of drill mud on
well startup.
4.0 Variable Frequency Drives

4.1 VFD Scope
VFDs are to be provided component of the ESP contract (may be sub-contracted), with the intent of driving a
systems design approach by having the ESP vendor select the drive system best suited to optimize the
performance and reliability of their ESP motor.
Each VFD shall include the necessary transformer for phase-shifting and voltage step-down, and all
necessary ancillary equipment required for protection, control, and communications. There should be an
integrated sinewave filter at the output of each VFD to mitigate harmonic resonance at ESP systems.
The proposed VFDs shall meet the detailed requirements specified in this section. The system design shall
focus on maximizing ESP lifespan and operability/flexibility.
4.2 Footprint Availability
The proposed footprint available per ESP-VFD is 4400mm x 1100mm x 2800mm W x D x H each as shown
below. Figure shows the area available for the VFDs. It is planned to install some units during offshore
operation, therefore, the vendor shall identify whether the drive can be broken down for shipping and the
length of each unit.
VFDs shall require no rear access and be suitable for back-back installation. Any clearance requirements
shall be provided with the proposal. VFDs shall be designed for bottom entry for incoming and outgoing cable
connections.

Figure 2: Area Available for VFD Installations in the Medium Voltage Electrical Building: (a) 72W-BD-1400 Level 1,
(b) 72W-BD-1400 Level 2
Maximum allowable weight is 7140 kg per drive (per WH-WGP-TQ-HUS-40029), inclusive of any transformers
and all accessories. Since weight and size minimization is of considerable importance, the Vendor shall
attempt to reduce weight and space requirements wherever possible in detailed design.
4.3 Installation Plan
It is currently anticipated that all VFDs will be installed in shipyard. VFDs are required in shipyard by April 1st,
2019 for installation.

mounted integral to the VFD enclosure. The VFD shall include air-flow pressure switches and temperature
detectors to monitor proper operation of the air cooling system, or equivalent protection. If a fan fails, the
Page 10 of 33
system shall generate an alarm. Provision shall be made, independent of the switchboard room air
conditioning, to facilitate the removal of heat/exchange of air related to the cooling of the MV VFD assemblies.
A space heater shall be provided for each VFD installation to prevent condensation build up. One space
heater, complete with its own thermostat, shall be located in every cabinet of the VFD. All space heaters shall
be wired in parallel, with one fused disconnect and power connection block supplied per VFD lineup. Space
heaters shall be long life, low current density, 120 VAC, 60 Hertz, single-phase, and the 120VAC power for
space heaters shall be supplied from an external source. Space heaters shall have guards to prevent
personnel contact with hot surfaces.
4.5 General VFD Requirements
The vendor shall ensure that all equipment proposed is not operating at either end of its extreme limits based
on these requirements to allow future flexibility.
The target design life of each VFD and all surface equipment is 25 years.
VFD Equipment shall be electrically certified to Canadian Standards, typically by CSA, ULc, and FMc or via a
third party approved by the Standards Council of Canada.
Lloyds Register (LR) has been nominated as the Authorized Inspection Authority and Certifying Authority for
all equipment on the WWRP. The Supplier shall contact LR to ensure they are aware of the submissions
required to obtain certification for installation offshore on the WWRP.
4.5.1 Power Constraints and Downhole Cable Length
The total amount of power available for all ESPs has been estimated to be 7 MW to enable production and
drilling operations to run concurrently. Vendors should work within this figure. However, it is important to
initially propose the most optimum VFD-ESP combination for reservoir conditions. The Vendor of electrical
submersible motors is required to provide the actual motor voltage and full load amperage in order to confirm
the calculation of the required surface voltage.
For the ESP wells, the downhole cable length is expected to be 3000m from the wellhead to the downhole
electrical submersible motor, to an anticipated maximum of 4000m. Surface cable length will be ~100 m.
The lengthy downhole cable poses harmonic resonance and motor start-up concerns. VFDs shall be
designed to minimize voltage spikes (voltage overshoot) that result from the drive’s pulses interacting with the
motor and motor feeder cable. Such voltage overshoot at the motor terminals shall be limited to 2.04 times
the rated voltage as specified in NEMA MG, vendor to comment if more stringent limit is recommended. The
proposed VFD shall have an integrated sinewave filter at the drive output to mitigate potential harmonic
resonance at ESP systems. Each VFD shall provide near sinusoidal voltage and current waveforms to the
electrical submersible motor at all speeds and loads.
4.5.2 Power Supply Available for VFDs
The medium voltage electrical supply for each VFD input is 13.8 kVAC, 3-phase, 60 Hz. The VFD vendor is to
supply any required step down and phase-shifting transformer within the drive package, which must fit within
the specified footprint.
Page 11 of 33
Dual 120VAC UPS supplies (A & B), from a separate source, will be provided to the drive. UPS switching
must be provided within the drive. The transfer time should enable the transfer of the UPS source without
shutting down the drive. The vendor shall also provide manual switching to enable selection of either supply
for the operation.
600V 3-phase, 60Hz low voltage auxiliary power will be available to power the VFD cooling system. Other
control power requirements, except for UPS and anti-condensation heater power, shall be derived from this
600V source.
Other control power requirements shall be derived from the 600V source.
4.5.3 HSEQ
Suitable barriers or other protection shall be provided for wiring terminals mounted on hinged panels or doors
to prevent accidental personnel contact when the panel or door is opened. Wiring to door mounted devices
shall have mechanical protection. Wiring bundles on the rear of doors shall be suitably secured.
A Kirk Key interlock shall be provided so that the power cabinet cannot be opened unless the upstream
breaker is disconnected and safety-grounding switch is closed. Kirk Key interlocks shall be provided by the
MV Switchgear supplier and free issued to the drive manufacturer for installation on the power cubicle access
door(s). Also, safety interlocks shall be provided to discharge any medium voltage capacitors integral to the
drive power assembly.
4.5.4 VFD Topology
The front end of each VFD shall be either 18 pulse or 24 pulse or higher. The inverter design can be based on
either cascaded H-bridge multi-level inverter or neutral-clamped multi-level Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
technology.
Bus bars shall be of electro-plated copper, color coded separately for AC and DC systems. All the live parts
shall be sleeved/shrouded to ensure complete safety to personnel.
4.5.5 Draft Performance Requirements
The below performance requirements are a draft. ESP vendors are asked to review and provide
feedback on the below in the RFI response.

of the driven pump, with maximum input supply voltage variation of 10%, and frequency variation of 5%.
The system shall be suitable for the load characteristics and the operational duty of the driven pump.
VFDs shall be capable of withstanding thermal and dynamic stresses and the transient mechanical torque,
resulting from short circuit. Any damage resulting from a short circuit or internal fault shall be limited to the
component concerned.
VFDs shall be suitable for two quadrant operation, and the speed variation shall be 0-120% with speed set
accuracy of 5% or better.
Voltage sags of 80% shall not trip the system.
Page 12 of 33
The VFD shall be capable of providing all motor starting torques and accelerating torques throughout the
operating speed range as indicated on the load speed-torque curve profile and on the data sheets of the
motor.
The vendor shall state proposed operating modes for various operating scenarios, i.e.:
 Variable torque changing as a function of speed
 Constant torque over a specified speed range
 Constant power over a specified speed range where the torque decreases when speed increases
4.5.6 HMI Control Philosophy
The VFD shall be microprocessor based although during Normal Operation the ESP will be controlled by the
platform Integrated Control and Safety System (ICSS). The VFD, Pump Control and Downhole
instrumentation shall all communicate with the ICSS via the fewest number of connections, the preferred

5.0 Well Architecture

5.1 Well Schematics
See below figures as well as Appendix A for draft well schematics showing examples of some possible
completions configurations.
Page 16 of 33
Figure 3: CT Deployed ESP
Figure 4: Wet-Mate ESP, 140mm Tubing
Page 17 of 33
Figure 5: Wet-Mate ESP, Tapered Tubing
Note that these schematics are examples only; Husky is open to proposals for alternate configurations given
that they achieve the key deliverables of this document.
5.2 Pressure Rating
Max anticipated shut-in tubing head pressure (SITHP) is 31.0 MPa. Wells are to be designed and tested to
minimum 34.5 MPa (5000 psi) to allow a kill margin of 3.5MPa (500 psi).
At the time of this writing (post Gate 3 – project sanction), WWRP well designs are not currently required to
accommodate hydraulic stimulation. However, during the well design phase, hydraulic stimulation may be a
consideration as maintaining the capability (or ability to upgrade) for through tubing hydraulic fracturing (at
44.8 MPa / 6500 psi) is desirable if accomplished without increasing the base cost.
Vendor input is requested regarding potential for overpressure from ESPs and any tubing design
recommendations or operational recommendations related to ESP generated pressures.
Page 18 of 33
5.3 Casing Constraints and Anticipated Tubing
The production casing preference for all wells is 244mm (9-5/8”), 216mm (8.50”) drift casing.
Where required, a 273mm x 244mm tapered casing string can be utilized to accommodate 178mm tubing and
associated TRSVs, with the casing crossover at ~900m MD.
Consideration may be given to deploying 273mm casing as deep as 3000m MD if required to accommodate
ESP designs, however this configuration is not preferred due to casing loading and cementing ECD
implications requiring more detailed well-specific assessment.
5.4 Barrier Philosophy
The Regulator requirement in accepting an ISO 19906 L2 CGS design w.r.t iceberg impact is for dual well
barriers excluding the wellhead. The following barriers are planned to meet this requirement:
5.4.1 Planned Tubing Barriers:

 TRSV;
 Surface controlled downhole lubricator valve (LUBV)
o It is intended to place the LUBV above the TRSV for intervention utilization and protection of the
TRSV
5.4.2 Planned Annular Barriers:

 Production Packer;
 Overbalanced brine above packer
o Therefore, annulus may not be utilized for annular hydrocarbon flow
5.5 Required Completion Functionality
 Downhole Chemical Injection below ESP (for Scale Inhibition);

 Pressure and Temperature measurement up and downstream of the pump;
 Capability to hydrostatically set the production packer, and contingent hydraulic set against a
tailpipe bridge plug;
 Completion string forces to be anchored by production packer – No PBR or tubing movement
permitted;
 Intervention access to service the sandface completion: 4.562” through-bore preferred;
 Ability to maintain (or restore) two barriers between hydrocarbons and personal for all potential
ESP failure / repair scenarios;
 Ability to remove hydrocarbons from completion string if utilizing completion string as a lubricator
for ESP toolstrings.
Page 19 of 33
5.6 Controls Passage
To allow for control of completions components below the ESP, the system provided shall allow for minimum
1x 3/8” encapsulated DHCI line and minimum 3x (preferentially 5x) 1/4” encapsulated control lines past the
ESP.
ESP cable mounted external to the completion tubing must be able to fit past any completions components for
the casing and tubing sizes identified in the above concept schematics.
