2.1 Location
The Block B fields are located in the Indonesian sector of the West Natuna Sea,
approximately 1200 kilometres north-northwest of Jakarta.
Figure 2.1 shows the location and coverage of Block B acreage, the current
WNTS pipeline and the relative position of Belida Field in Block ‘B’.
Block ‘B’ of the West Natuna Development contains several gas fields. These
can be divided into the following three sections:
The Block ‘B’ location plan and schematic of the three areas is presented in
Figures 2.2 and 2.3 overleaf.
The ADGF tie-back system utilizes two subsea manifolds (Keong and Kijing), tied
back to Hang Tuah by series linked 12” and 14” flowlines. One subsea gas well
(J3) is tied into the Kijing manifold using rigid spool pieces, a total distance of
approximately 27.5 kilometres from Hang Tuah. Three subsea gas wells (K1,
K2 and K3) are tied into the Keong manifold using rigid spool pieces, a distance
of approximately 4.6 kilometres from Hang Tuah. The Keong and Kijing fields
are approximately 22.9 kilometres apart.
a crossing over a 16” diameter concrete coated pipeline, with the umbilical
stabilised by concrete mattresses.
Subsea control jumpers tie-in the K2 and K3 wells from the UTA-1 to stab plates
mounted on the tree, a distance of approximately 40 metres. Another jumper
ties-in the K1 wells from the UTA-1 to stab plates mounted on the tree, a distance
of approximately 250 metres.
Subsea control jumpers tie-in the J3 well from the UTA-1 to stab plates mounted
on the tree, a distance of approximately 40 metres.
The BG-01 subsea gas well is tied back to the existing DPP-A platform via an 8-
inch flowline. A direct hydraulic umbilical is used to control this well, which has
been pulled through a J-tube on DPP-A. At BG-01, the umbilical terminates
directly at a UTA adjacent to the BG-01 well. The approximate length of this
umbilical is 2800 metres. Subsea control jumpers tie-in the BG-01 well from the
UTA to stab plates mounted on the tree, a distance of approximately 40 metres.

1-minute sustained wind speed = 1-hour speed * 1.20.
All wind speeds are referenced to 10m above MSL. Sustained wind speeds at other reference levels (Z metres above
LAT) may be calculated using the relationship Vz=V10*(Z/10)0.12; where Vz = wind speed z metres above LAT and V10 =
wind speed measured at 10 metres above LAT.

5.1 General
The protection frame size, weight, material selection, lifting points, details, etc
necessary to manufacture shall be provided on the design drawings and associated
documentation. In addition:
Preference is for the frames to be installed diverless with the use of a working
class ROV (minimum 100 hp with 7 function manipulator). Frames shall include
grabs bars for such ROV to lock onto.
Verticals, diagonal rakers and equivalent structures shall penetrate the seabed to
avoid snagging from trawl warp lines and ground rope. Effects from installation
tolerances and expected scouring shall be accommodated.
If vertical side bracings are included, these shall be spaced to prevent intrusion
and rotation of fishing equipment as far as is practical, without restricting subsea
structure access for the intervention systems.
All subsea protection frames shall be designed as gravity base structures, utilising a
suction pile, skirt and/or mudmat concept. Additional retrofit ballast may be provided to
increase stability and mass of the structure.
The structures shall be designed such that anchor wires and fishing nets can pass over
the frame without catching on members, piping or bolts. The design snagging loads
shall be:

Design shall consider the worst combination of these loads with appropriate functional
and environmental loading.
Where possible, the maximum bracing angle shall be 50 o true from the horizontal.
As a minimum, structural analysis of the subsea protection frames shall consider the
following design conditions:
Transportation analysis
Installation analysis
Removal analysis
All structural analyses shall balance global model reactions in order to compare
analytical model weight with estimated weight from material take offs.
Lift analysis shall comply with DNV RP5 Lifting. All rigging and padeyes shall be
designed for the most onerous lift condition. Lift analysis shall be based on the
following parameters:
Centre of gravity inaccuracy and sling skew load will be catered for by analysing
a 75/25 load split on opposite pairs of slings.
Static load will be factored to account for dynamic effects to account for the
uncertainty surrounding the sea state during installation and the vessel motion
characteristics.

5.7 Access
Divers specifically need to access the top of the wellhead for workover, access to choke
and general inspection. Wellhead protection frames shall have a removable debris cap
for access to the top of the tree.
UTA/IUT protection frames shall have hinged grating or grid on the long sides of the
structure.
In addition, all frames shall be designed to allow an ROV to carry out general visual
inspection of structures, inspect anodes, inspect umbilical and control cable connections
and access the vertical choke valve located on top of the wellheads.
5.8 Rigging
The design shall allow for frames to be installed using standard 4 point lifting
assemblies. Rigging design may utilize padeyes, shackles, wire rope or slings, subject
to confirmation by analysis. Shackles and rigging shall be designed for ROV
cutting/removal.
5.9 Positioning
Survey and final positioning of the subsea protection frames is critical, with facilities
being live during installation. Design shall provide a method of locating frames by
offsetting from a clearly indentifiable point on the existing structures. Contractor shall
provide the necessary survey and positioning systems to achieve the required
installation tolerances, based on previously demonstrated field accuracy:
