The present paper describes a new offshore field development solution, Next Generation Subsea Production System (NextGen SPS), that aims to overcome the technical and commercial limitations of the current offshore field development concepts (dry tree or subsea tree) in ultra-deep water (more than 1500 m). The key developments of the NextGen SPS, including its main characteristics, stability characteristics and optimal design on the riser system, are presented and discussed. The series of studies demonstrates that the NextGen SPS offers improved technical and commercial performance, higher levels of safety, reduced interface complexity and improved development flexibility for field development in ultra-deep water.

Abstract Russian experience in the design of trunk pipelines and Arctic studies have been used to develop an efficient model and method for Arctic field development design using the subsea production system (SPS). Compared to 2D models used in the past, the new design technique offers an opportunity to make 3D models and can be used for optimization of offshore field development projects. The proposed optimization model is based on the Bellman - Ford algorithm developed for 3D networks. This approach has been used for the first time to capture key features and specific subsea production system design processes. The algorithm and block diagrams developed for the proposed SPS design method is universal. This method can be used to address tasks of a more general nature. Optimization of the particular case between a single start point (well location) and single end point (SPS facility) is implemented as a separate software package, but the scope of applications is not limited by such cases and may be extended even further. It can also be very efficient for Arctic subsea field development.

Novel Approach

Abstract The proper exploitation for a gas condensate reservoir requires an integrated collaboration and management strategy capable to provide detailed insight about future behavior of the reservoir. When a development plan is generated for a field, the reservoir management is not performed integrally, this is, different domains: geology, reservoir, drilling, production, economics, etc., work separately, and therefore, an adequate understanding of the main challenges, leading to issues such as an over dimensioning of surface facilities, excessive costs, among others. Through this paper, a methodology to improve the conventional field development plan is described, which contains 4 main pillars: Collaborative approach, Integrated analysis, engineering optimization and monitoring & surveillance. The methodology involves the description of a hybrid workflow based on the integration of multiple domains, technologies and recommendations to consider all the phenomena and compositional changes over time in the whole production system, aiming to define the optimum reservoir management strategy, facilities and operational philosophy as part of the Field Development Plan (FDP). Conventionally, the used of simplistic models most of times do not allow seeing phenomena in the adequate resolution (near wellbore and porous media effects, multiphase flow in pipelines, etc.), that occur with high interdependency in the Integrated Production System. With this methodology, the goal pursued is to support oil and gas companies to increase the recovery factor of gas condensate fields through the enhancement in the development and exploitation process and therefore, reducing associated costs and seizing available time and resources.

Selection Of

For the selection of a field production system in order to decide among several alternatives, in general, an oil company bases itself mainly on economical analysis aspects, such as net present value and internal rate of return. However, the evaluation of a field development project, generally speaking, needs a methodology for the selection of the best alternative that complies proportionally with all the objectives of the company. Which means that several other aspects besides the financial one should be taken into account in the selection decision process. The main purposes of the present work is to present the methodology for decision-making that supports selection of the best floating production system, for a given offshore oilfield. As an example, a typical field development project is evaluated based on this method. The present paper shows the importance to include technological, safety and environmental risk besides the usual financial one, used for selecting the best alternative of a floating production system in offshore field development.

Effective Design

Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) sizing and cost estimation has become a challenging task at the early stages of offshore field development. During the early stages of field development designer needs to size and estimate cost in order to decide feasibility of the project. This paper describes a step by step method used to size and estimate the cost of a new built (or) converted FPSO based on basic engineering, existing FPSO data and corresponding metocean criteria for a particular location. This step by step approach covers FPSO sizing, hull structural design, mooring sizing, topsides support design and steel renewal using offshore classification rules and regulations. FPSO cost is estimated based on the design particulars (i.e. hull weights, FPSO particulars, mooring sizes etc.) and current market unit rates. This approach is an effective means to size and estimate cost of an FPSO at early stages of field development which saves overall time and cost for a client.
