Liuhua 11-1 development -- Downhole completion program with electric submersible pumps and wet-mateable electrical connectors
Amoco Orient Petroleum Company, in partnership with China Offshore Oil Nanhai East Corporation and Kerr-McGee China Petroleum Ltd. is installing the first field-wide, subsea electric submersible pump system in the Liuhua Field. Located in the South China Sea, the Liuhua project uses many existing stand-alone technologies, but has created a unique situation by combining them in the development of one field. As with other subprojects within the overall Liuhua development, Amoco and partners brought in Lasalle Engineering to provide expertise in completions and especially ESP applications. Selection of the completion-equipment suppliers and the specific equipment was a joint decision by the partners and Lasalle Engineering. The equipment selection criteria were driven by the concept of ``fit for purpose,`` meaning: ``select the most appropriate supplier and equipment to fit the specific Liuhua Field requirements.`` Supplier and equipment selections were based on a matrix of criteria, including: information on case histories of the recommended equipment; work history in China; the company`s safety philosophy; QA plans; training philosophy; failure analysis philosophy; costs; and other factors.
