1 INTRODUCTION
This document presents the design calculation for cathodic protection of the
proposed inlet piping at Ekulama Flowstation using Sacrificial Anodes.
In this document, the use of Magnesium was compared with Aluminum as

sacrificial anodes for both ligament section and the manifold header section.
Result shown that required number of Aluminum anodes for cathodic protection
over the stated design life of 15 years was lesser to a ratio of 5 as compared to
using Magnesium Anodes.
The use of Galvotec Aluminum Bracelet Anodes and Magnesium Anodes was
referenced to throughout the design and the selection process. This however was
used as a based guide as the design calculations and formulae being employed is
applicable to using other vendor anodes other than Galvotec.
Design calculation was performed in compliance with the recommendation of

DNV-RP-B401 (2017 Edition)

1.1 OBJECTIVE OF THE REPORT

 To present the design calculations for the sacrificial anodes to be employed for the
cathodic protection of inlet manifold piping at Ekulama 1 Flowstation.
1.2 DESIGN CODE

DNV RP B401 - Recommended Practice - Cathodic Protection Design
1.3 SCOPE
The design Calculation is limited to cathodic protection of the ligament and header sections
of the inlet manifold piping as this does not include cathodic protection for piles and other
supporting structures.

CATHODIC PROTECTION
2 PROJECT OVERVIEW
COMPANY plans to replace the existing Inlet manifold that is severely corroded. This is a
measure to sustain continuous and safe production of the wells through the inlet manifold.
The corroded existing manifold shows possibilities of rupture and the decommissioning,
removal and replacement of the manifold will prevent and help safe guard people and the
environment. The new manifold shall not be a like for like, it shall be re-designed as an
upgrade of the existing manifold. The new manifold shall be rated at 600# with 4 Headers, 24
Slots and segmented in 6 slots each such that each segment can be fully and independently
isolated from the others by use of isolation valves installed on each 8” Header.
2.1 EKULAMA FIELD OVERVIEW

Ekulama-1 flow station is located on piles on Oil Mining License 24 approximately 45km
South West of Port Harcourt. It is bounded by Awoba field to the south, Soku field to the
South East and close to Belema field. The field is accessible by air and by water. A journey
from Port Harcourt by air takes approximately 40 minutes while boat transportation takes
2hours 15minutes.
The flow station is a single bank with vessels for a two-stage separation. The processed crude
is pumped with gas driven crude oil export reciprocating pumps into the trunk line, while
the separated gas is flared with horizontal flare unit located in a bunded area outside the flow
station. Ekulama-1 field consists of 11 wells flowing into its flow station. These wells are
located in swampy area with dredged slot to each well head for easy access during wellhead
activities. Ekulama-1 flow station is currently producing 17,000bbls/d gross with an average
water cut of 38.85%. It is design to handle a maximum capacity of approximately
30.000bbls/d.
Accommodation for dedicated teams of technical personnel who visit the Ekulama-1 flow
station is provided at the nearest base station on Ekulama-2.

4 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The use of Magnesium and Aluminum as sacrificial anodes has been evaluated for inlet piping manifold
design and their results are summarized below
4 INCH FLOWLINE LIGAMENTS
Aluminum Magnesium
per Ligament
(x24)
8 INCH MANIFOLD HEADERS
Aluminum Magnesium
per Ligament
(x16)
Thus based on the outcome of the results, it is recommended that the use of Aluminium Anodes should be
the preferred choice over Magnesium for longer duration of cathodic protection of the inlet piping at
Ekulama Flowstation. There should however be balance between cost and the design life for protection to
justify the use of Aluminum Anodes over Magnesium Anodes.
