Host facility

Typically, a Subsea Field Development or Subsea Satellite Development would consist of a cluster of special subsea trees positioned on the seabed with produced fluids piped to the host facility. Water injection, as well as lift gas, can be provided from the host facility. Control of subsea facilities is maintained from the host facility via control umbilicals and subsea control modules. 

As the first well is being drilled the template is connected to the host facility with flowlines, umbilicals and risers. A Chemical Injection Umbilical will also typically be laid to the template or subsea facility and connected to a distribution manifold. 

Only one set of pipelines and umbilicals (as with the template) are required from the manifold back to the host facility, saving unnecessary expense. Underwater manifolds are becoming very popular as they offer a great deal of flexibility in field development and can be very cost effective. 

As subsea production systems are remote from the host production facility there must be some type of system in place which allows personnel on the host facility to control and monitor the operation of the unmanned subsea system. 

With the electro-hydraulic system the signals, power and hydraulic supplies are sent from a Master Control Station (or MCS) on the host facility down Control Umbilicals (Fig 10.36) to individual Junction Boxes on the seabed or subsea structure. 

Sensors on the tree allow the control module to transmit data such as tubing head pressure, tubing head temperature, annulus pressure and production choke setting. Data from the downhole gauge is also received by the control module. With current subsea systems more and more data is being recorded and transmitted to the host facility. This allows operations staff to continuously monitor the performance of the subsea system.

Whether on land or offshore, the principle of satellite development is the same. A new field is accessed with wells, and an export link is installed to the existing (host) facility. Development is not always easier on land, as environmental restrictions mean that some onshore fields have to be developed using directional drilling techniques (originally associated with offshore developments). A vertical well can be drilled offshore away from the host facility, and the well completed using a subsea wellhead. 

The role that a host facility plays in an incremental development project can vary tremendously. At one extreme all production and processing support may be provided by the host (such as gas lift and water treatment). On the other hand, the host may just become a means of accessing an export pipeline (if a production and processing facility is installed on the new field). 

Whatever form of incremental development is considered, the benefits to the host facility should not be gained at the expense of reduced returns for the new project. Incremental and satellite projects can in many situations help to extend the production life of an old field or facilities, but care must be taken to ensure that the economics are transparent. 

Although it is reasonable to assume that paragraph 19 was drafted mainly to deal with situations where a State Party hosts facilities of another, friendly State Party, its scope of application is not limited to such situations and it also covers other situations such as that in Cuba. 

The host facility was the Southwest Power Plant of the City Utilities of Springfield, Missouri. In that facility, 3.5 percent sulfur eastern coal is burned in two boilers with a total generating capacity of 200 MW. The flue gas from the electrostatic precipitators is scrubbed by two parallel 100 MW TCA s. 

Requirements for transportation packaging and transporter training vary based on the degree of the hazard and the travel route and distance. Sandia s ES H Manual provides a detailed description of these requirements for the members of the SNL workforce. When on non-Sandia controlled premises, the requirements and practices of the host facility apply. 

Contract workers—even those on long-term assignment—are not an integral part of the facility on which they are working. Therefore, their standards and values will not necessarily be those of the host facility. 

The two field exercises were conducted at DPG to provide information on the detection limits of our on-site analysis approach. Three types of samples were analyzed soil, water, and swipes. Each sample had been spiked by the "host facility" with CW-related target compounds at either 10 ppm or 100 ppb. The suite of spiked samples also included a blank, bringing the total to nine working samples. The new SPE procedures in conjunction with current analytical field instrumentation provided a detection limit of approximately 1 ppm, which was lower than expected. 

In this pattern IT hosting facilities are provided, usually for a large suite of apphcations of which some may be safety-related. The scope of supply may include PCs, networks, servers, monitoring equipment, telecomms and helpdesk and can include complete datacentres. 

Hosting facility tours featuring emergency prevention and mitigation procedures. 

The staff determined that the SRS evacuation host locations (e.g., P-Reactor Disassembly Area) are shown in the SRS Emergency Plan. A site evacuation procedure or equivalent is needed, including the establishment of the mechanism for transporting evacuees from rally points to a host location, identification of evacuation routes from each SRS facility, and accommodations at the host facilities. This is an open item.
