Production Platform Generation Problems 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 6

Overview Total generation capacity of 35MW from 5 Generators GT 4 was to be returned to Service after period of inactivity, this was a 15MW, 6.6kv, 4 pole Generator driven by an Avon Engine Provided critical power for Salt Water Injection Pump motors Platform required SWI Motors running to support production Module Roof was not watertight! Generator Anti-Condensation Heaters were defective! 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 7

Bringing back to service Pre-commission checks identified very low IR and no PI. 1000v DC Test IR value 0.2MΩ & breaking down after 4 minutes As our engineers were being mobilised to site, platform staff spun the turbine generator for a period of 4 hours unexcited to determine if dampness / condensation was the issue. Retest did not show any difference in the IR or PI levels Complete winding was wet with an earth fault present 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 8

Investigating the problem Our Service Engineers then carried out a methodical check: opened alternator for internal inspection of rotor / stator for any evidence of ingress of contamination cables and all connections from the cubicle to the alternator terminal box removed all clamps / post connections disconnected the star point / split phase connections 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 9

Investigating the problem internally inspected & tested each phase split low reading phase coils to from 2 halves for inspection & test continue to split until defective coil or coils were located identify the defective area / coil section 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 10

The Defective Coil The defective coil was identified by a process of elimination, and located at 4 o'clock position when viewed from DE, fault was specific to one diamond coil. The stator winding had 66 coils connected in 2 parallel circuits The winding had 5 & 6 coil groups We proposed an in-situ repair potentially saving 16 weeks on time scale and circa 700k on rewind costs A primary objective was to minimise outage time to get SWI pumps operating ASAP. 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 11

Our Solution.. We calculated what would be the effect of cutting out 6 coils, 2 per phase, on the performance of the Generator It was necessary to take 2 coils from each phase, to prevent circulating currents and kept the winding balanced We assessed that a maximum 10 % loss of output Results were relayed to Client who approved the process and methodology of repair. 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 18

The Completion.. Work was completed in 14 Days utilising 24 hr working :- The generator was part dismantled, rotor remained in position An environmental habitat was erected around the stator Stator winding configuration was changed and reconnected, the defective coil and 5 other coils removed from circuit. Stoving heaters were applied to dry the rest of winding The stator winding was cleaned, dried, and spray varnished The machine was fully built and prepared for test 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 19

Testing & Hand Over Insulation Resistance Test gave PI values of >4 with IR levels commencing at 4GΩ on 5kV Megger Phase Resistance was tested and found to be within 5% range Generator returned to service with slow increase of load from 2 MW to 7MW over a shift and then up to 13.8MW Machine was handed back to client after successful commissioning test, with some alterations to protection relays and AVR settings. 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 20

Conclusion Drilling Program was at risk due to lack of generation capacity Failure to complete the well work-over in time put the complete well at risk, including future oil revenues Failure to provide power for the SWI Motors would result in loss of oil production Generator Repair saved 16 Weeks of down time and circa 700k in repair costs but no estimate of production loss cost?? M/day Work competed to Timeline & Budget, the future revenues from an oil well secured! 2013 <Copyright Sulzer> slide 21
