The issues associated with the start-up of riser lift pumps that are discussed in this paper are not unique to the off-shore oil & gas industry. It is probable, however, that the development of systems with acceptable transient characteristics has failed historically because of the traditional disconnect between the contracting organisation responsible for the design and engineering of the facility and the operating organisation that has subsequently to live with it. The design engineers, therefore, continue to configure hydraulically demanding systems because they receive little information on the performance of their systems from operators. Within the operating environment, a myth has developed that riser lift pump pipework is generically noisy and habitually jumps about just because 'that's the way it is'. There is therefore, little feedback to the design teams who have, anyway, moved on to the next project. There has been a general increase in the communication between designers and operators in the past 5 years and there is also now more anecdotal evidence of poor hydraulic performance in traditionally designed riser lift pump systems. This means that the analytical surge analysis results presented to a client can be augmented by reference to real life problems. Furthermore, contracting organisations are being called upon to retro-fit new riser lift pump systems on older assets in order to replace systems worn out by the unexpected transient hydraulic demands. The 'best practice' solution presented in this paper has been shown to provide robust and effective systems for a number of recent developments around the world and is now becoming recommended as a standard by major oil companies.
