Scope of Document
This document outlines the design data for the offshore infrastructure at the Hewett gas reservoir
and collates all of the design data to be used and the assumptions to be made in undertaking the
design activities.
The offshore infrastructure for this document is assumed to include the following:
Platform foundations;

Platform topsides structure.
This document will be reviewed and updated as necessary during the course of the design to reflect
changes necessary to meet E-ON requirements.

DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
3.1
The base-case offshore facility design selected is a new build steel jacket structure supporting
a normally unattended integrated deck topsides; the geographical co-ordinates of the offshore
injection facilities will be confirmed during the FEED 2 study.
It is envisaged that the base case offshore platform will incorporate the following:
A riser bringing the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the pipeline onto the platform. We
currently expect to install an emergency shutdown (ESD) valve to isolate the pipeline
CO2 volumes from the platform. This ESD will be installed above the waterline for ease
of maintenance;
A pig receiver to receive pigs used to clean or inspect the pipeline, and also to push out
CO2 volumes from the pipeline into the reservoir before the pipeline can be
depressurised;
Each individual well flowline will incorporate a choke to regulate and adjust the
pressure of the CO2 prior to injection into the reservoir;
Sufficient space to accommodate the equipment necessary for well intervention work,
including slickline, electric line and coiled tubing interventions. Note that for coiled
tubing operations the coil and personnel will be accommodated on a separate work
vessel;
Individual electrical start-up heaters on each of the 4 flowlines. The size of each heater
is expected to be less than 1 MW each. The electrical heaters will also require
switchgear, transformers and thyristors, which may be of substantial weight and size;
Each well will have a Christmas tree on top of it, including two separate valves capable
of completely shutting in the well, and valves allowing access to the wellbore annulus.
A wellhead area able to accommodate four wells with surface Christmas trees. (Note
that the four wells are required for injection of the planned initial volumes of CO2 the
Base Case. Eight additional slots would be required to enable the platform to be used
to inject the full Kingsnorth and potential Thames Cluster CCS volumes in the future);
A crane capable of lifting an electric line unit onto the platform (currently believed to be
the heaviest lift onto the platform);
An instrumentation system able to gather temperature and pressure data and video
(CCTV) images from various points on the platform and from the in-well data
acquisition system, and transmit the data onshore;
A Temporary Safe Refuge (TSR) with helideck, able to accommodate ~15 people for
unplanned overnight stays;
Fire and CO2 leakage detection system able to shut the platform down in the event of a
CO2 leakage or a fire;
Diesel fuelled emergency power generation equipment. The normal electrical loads for
the facility will be drawn from shore via a subsea electrical cable.

3.2
Design Life
It is assumed that the offshore facilities will have a design life of 40 years.
3.3
Deck Elevations
The cellar deck elevation will be set such that the lowest part of the framing members is
above the predicted 10,000-year return wave crest elevation. Other deck elevations will be set
to allow sufficient space for accommodating the required equipment and utilities and for
routing pipework.
3.4
General
The data presented in this Section were obtained from ref. [S1]. These data are
generic in nature and are not known to be specific to the Kingsnorth offshore platform
location. The following project-specific studies and surveys should be commissioned
and carried out during early FEED 2 in order to provide the required specific data:
Metocean Study;
3.4.2
Water Depths
The water depth at the offshore platform location is 34m ref. [S1]. Detailed
bathymetric profiles will be produced by the offshore survey HOLD 2.
3.4.3
Current Profile
Regional current profiles are presented in the Basis of Design for Studies document,
ref. [S8]
3.4.4
Wave Data
Regional wave heights and periods are presented in the Basis of Design for Studies
document, ref. [S8]
3.4.5
Marine Growth
HOLD 3.
3.4.6
Soil Conditions
A site-specific geotechnical survey will be conducted as part of the FEED 2 work. However in
the absence of design geotechnical design parameters, the piles may be only partially
modelled up to an effective point of fixity, located at a depth of six diameters below the
mudline HOLD 4.
3.4.7
Material
Primary, special primary and secondary steel materials (Grades S275, S355, and S450)
shall comply with BS EN 10225: 2001 - Specification for Weldable Structural Steels for Fixed
Offshore Structures, [Ref M8], supplemented by the project specification for carbon steel
HOLD 5.
Tertiary steel (Grades S355) shall comply with the following:

3.4.8
Corrosion Allowance
A corrosion allowance, i.e. additional steel thickness to compensate for the effect of metal
loss by corrosion on structural members, shall be applied to the substructure members in the
splash and atmospheric zones. Elsewhere on the substructure, corrosion protection will be
provided by appropriate cathodic protection suitable for the 40 year target design life. The
corrosion allowance will be determined during FEED 2.
3.4.9
Corrosion Protection
All permanent topsides steelwork shall be protected against corrosion as specified in the
project specification for Protective Coatings. Hand-railing, stair treads and open grill floor
grating shall be hot dip galvanised. In addition, handrailing shall be painted after galvanizing.
No corrosion allowances shall be applied to the thickness of topsides steel sections. Suitable
isolation shall be provided at interfaces between mild steel and aluminium or stainless steel
to prevent bi-metallic corrosion (for example wall cladding systems).
