Engineering Of Subsea Umbilical Systems & Reliability Management (ESURM) Level 1 to Level 3

Description

Engineering of Subsea Umbilical Systems & Reliability Management (ESURM) is a comprehensive framework that encompasses the design, construction, installation, and maintenance of subsea umbilical systems used in offshore oil and gas operations. It also includes the management of reliability throughout the lifecycle of these systems. The ESURM framework consists of three levels: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, each addressing specific aspects of engineering and reliability management.

Level 1 of ESURM focuses on the basic engineering principles and requirements for subsea umbilical systems. It involves the preliminary design and analysis of the system, including the selection of appropriate materials, components, and configurations based on the operational requirements and environmental conditions. Level 1 also includes the development of system specifications, performance criteria, and preliminary cost estimates. At this stage, engineering considerations such as pressure rating, temperature limits, corrosion resistance, electrical and hydraulic power requirements, and functional requirements are defined.

Level 2 of ESURM delves deeper into the detailed engineering of subsea umbilical systems. It involves the development of comprehensive engineering designs, including the layout, routing, and integration of umbilicals with other subsea equipment. This level encompasses the analysis and selection of specific components, such as hoses, electrical cables, steel tubes, and fiber optic lines. Detailed stress analysis, thermal analysis, and dynamic analysis are performed to ensure the structural integrity and operational reliability of the umbilical system. Level 2 also involves the development of detailed manufacturing, fabrication, and installation procedures, including quality control and testing protocols.

Level 3 of ESURM focuses on the management of reliability throughout the lifecycle of subsea umbilical systems. It encompasses the development and implementation of strategies to ensure the long-term performance and integrity of the systems. Level 3 includes reliability-centered maintenance (RCM) practices, periodic inspection and monitoring plans, risk assessments, and failure analysis techniques. It also involves the development of contingency plans and emergency response procedures to mitigate potential failures or accidents. Level 3 of ESURM emphasizes the importance of data collection, analysis, and continuous improvement to enhance the reliability and safety of subsea umbilical systems.
