JDR was awarded a substantial scope of work to support
the Brunei Shell Petroleum Champion Waterood
(phase B23) project.
Brunei Shell Petroleum is one of Asias biggest energy companies. It will use JDRs subsea
production umbilicals to redevelop the Champion eld as part of the Waterood Project to
increase oil recovery. This contract is the third umbilical project JDR has worked on for
Brunei Shell Petroleum.
Brunei Shell Petroleum plans to increase the existing Champion Field production via large
scale water ooding of the deeper and more developed reservoirs. Concurrently, Brunei
Shell Petroleum will install a number of new platforms. JDR will develop and manufacture
ten custom designed composite power umbilicals totalling 13km, for operation at water
depths of up to 32m. The umbilicals will be designed by JDRs in-house engineering team and
manufactured at JDRs state-of-the-art UK facility in Hartlepool.
The umbilical design for this project is complex. The customer requires an umbilical system to
transport power and communications to multiple platforms from a central hub platform.
This approach will enable the operator to distribute eld-critical utilities across the eld as
required, versus building individual services into each platform. The product will transport
chemicals, low and medium voltage power, air, and bre optic signals all in one single bundle!
The composite power umbilicals will be manufactured using JDRs Vertical Lay-up Machine
(VLM), designed specically for multi-function bundles. The VLM enables bundles to be
manufactured without in-line jointing.

COMPLEX COMPOSITE POWER UMBILICAL SUPPLY
JDR has three principle manufacturing locations in Hartlepool
and Littleport in the UK and Sattahip in Thailand. Hartlepool was
selected for the Brunei Shell Petroleum development due to its twin
thermoplastic umbilical and power cable production lines.
This enabled concurrent manufacture of both products,
reducing delivery lead times.

STABILITY ANALYSIS UMBILICAL HARDWARE
An important element of the supply
contract includes seabed stability
analysis for the permanently installed
umbilicals. The umbilicals will be
installed at very shallow water depths
and will need to remain stable in extreme
weather conditions.
JDR modeled the impact of weather
conditions using sophisticated software.
As a result, the umbilical design included
suffcient ballast to pass stability criteria
to international standards. JDRs modern
analysis software can provide clients with
absolute confdence that their umbilicals
will require zero maintenance for the full
design life of the feld, which can be in
excess of 25 years.
JDRs hardware design team created
the umbilical termination assembly.
Special analysis is used to determine the
required tensile loading for the pull-in
heads and to ensure they ft the J-tubes
provided by the client.
The scope includes:
Pull-in heads
Hang-off bodies and split clamps
Termination boxes
J-tube seals & VBR
Subsea repair joints
Meshed umbilical cross section
The umbilical will be loaded onto a vessel using a number of
vertical reels. Each reel can weigh up to 350 tonnes. The reels
are modifed to ft each individual project and will be lined up on
the quayside before being lifted onto the transportation vessel.
JDRs Hartlepool factory is located alongside an 12m deep harbour
with direct access to the North Sea. This ensures easy factory
access for most ocean-going vessels.
