    Agenda

    •  Overview of workover systems.


    •  Workover stack technical safety.
    •  Example systems and studies.
    •  EDP/LRP
    •  Landing string

    Workover technical safety

    There can be multitude of reasons and each •  Temporary barrier.

    EDP/LRP XT mode

    Considerations
    •  Interfaces to other systems
    •  Independence between control and safety
    •  Flowing conditions (sequencing)
    •  Energy required to close and cut coil tubing
    requires subsea accumulators.
    •  Cutting of moving coil tubing
    •  Interlock between retainer valve and
    disconnect
    •  Safe State for emergency shutdown and
    emergency quick disconnect
    •  Disconnection is energize to function
    •  Sub-System FMEA to identify single points of
    failure.

    Marine Riser Subsea Test Tree (SSTT) Landing String

    Considerations
    •  SSTT is a safety system and should be
    independent of operational items.
    •  Energy required to close and cut coil tubing
    requires topside hydraulic supply or subsea
    accumulators.
    •  Sequencing of valves
    •  Safe State for emergency shutdown and
    emergency quick disconnect
    •  Interlocks between SSTT and latch disconnect
    •  Interlock between Retainer valve and latch
    disconnect

    Possible Studies

    •  HAZID
    •  HAZOP
    •  Bow tie
    •  Input to performance standards
    •  FMEA/FMECA
    •  RAM
    •  SIL Studies
    o  Safety and V&V Plan
    o  Safety Requirement Specification
    o  SIL Verification/Compliance Reports
    o  Safety Manual
    o  Input to testing procedures
