Offshore Oil

Abstract Offshore oil and gas platforms are among the largest structures humanity has ever built. There are more than 7,500 of them towering up from seas all over the world, according to some recent estimates. As wells dry up and pumping equipment wears down, those structures are likely to become obsolete in the upcoming decades. Those oil wells will have be decommissioned and capped off and the platforms taken down. But taking down an offshore oil platform and the tower that supports it is no simple assignment. It is a massive engineering project that requires state-of-the-art equipment.

Economic Considerations

This paper discusses the use of floating production systems (FPS) in developing offshore fields and includes consideration of related system and subsystem options. The system options are discussed from their relative technical and economic merits. Proven conventional and state-of-the-art technology as well as technical limitations are included. A decision tree matrix has been developed for use in the early planning stages to assist in determining preferred baseline options for selecting an approach. Systems from the mud-line upwards to the floating hull, and on-board systems, are included.

Malaysia has long been victim of oil pollution well before the start of her own offshore exploitation of oil. With the effort to exploit offshore oil and gas, Malaysia has now become causer of pollution herself. Legislation existed for oil pollution prevention and control, along each and every stage of offshore petroleum operations which include exploration, development, production, transportation, treatment and storage. But procedures to explain the existing legislation is lacking and hence it is important to expound the existing legislation for controlling and preventing oil pollution from offshore operation in line with current practices around the world.

Improving visibility of when and where oil and gas assets are approaching end of life has provided the foundation for transformation of decommissioning planning and execution around the world. A baseline understanding of decommissioning established by Oil and Gas UK fed into the much lauded Maximising Economic Recovery strategy, and provided a platform for government to pursue a 35% cost reduction target for decommissioning in the United Kingdom. In the Netherlands, one of the first four priorities pursued to maximise value through decommissioning was the establishment of a national decommissioning database, which aimed to create an integrated view of decommissioning scope and timelines. In 2020, funded by NERA and a group of seven operators, Advisian delivered the first operator-supported assessment of Australia's decommissioning liability and outlook. This outlook lays the foundation for initiatives that support knowledge sharing, service sector engagement, collaboration, technology development, efficiency and reduced stakeholder burden. This joint presentation by NERA and Advisian will provide an overview of NERA's decommissioning strategy and the data that underpins this strategy, the Advisian ‘Offshore Oil and Gas Decommissioning Liability' assessment for Australia.

China join in WTO means that China petroleum industry will be integrated into economic globalization also means that China petroleum industry will have a direct impact by market competition. As being Chinese’s largest offshore oil and gas producer, China National Offshore Oil Corporation must take active measures to deal with the opportunities and challenges brought by joining the World Trade Organization.
