Studies

Peritus International, Project Manager for SAGE, has been carrying out all the necessary Feasibility Studies to ensure that the SAGE pipeline can be successfully laid. Peritus performed extensive Feasibility Studies in 2010. It has also made a detailed Feasibility Plan for the year 2011.

The program for the 2010 Feasibility Studies concentrated on ensuring that a consistent design basis be developed which can be used to guide all studies.

The aim was to make sure that the SAGE Deep-water Pipeline could be installed within an acceptable risk profile, areas of uncertainty were acknowledged and understood,and a plan was put in place to mitigate them.

I) 2010 Studies

The following Feasibility Activities for the year 2010 were carried out:

  • Overall Project Management of all activities
  • Design Basis definition
  • Flow Assurance Studies
  • Mechanical Design
  • Onshore Compression Station Definition
  • Offshore Compression Station Definition
  • Quantified Risk Assessment – OIP Update
  • Geohazard and Fault Crossing Assessment Phase 1
  • Metocean data Phase 1
  • GIS Data Collection Phase 1
  • Assessment of the effects of moderate heat treatment

II) 2011 Completed and Ongoing Studies

The program for 2011 feasibility studies will ensure that the project is well positioned to move into a full FEED phase by 2012 by closing gaps in understanding and finalizing the project design constraints.
