Final presentation of a feasibility study performed this year (2009) covering many aspects of marginal platform design, fabrication, transport and installation.
Reservoir development plans require dynamic strategies to optimize production. Recovery methods can be initiated at any stage to improve efficiency. It is common for development plans to change over time due to new understanding, performance, constraints, economics or technologies. Screening studies for improved or enhanced oil recovery methods should consider technical feasibility as well as availability of resources and include decision analysis to define robust project options early. Preliminary performance predictions using simple models can help evaluate recovery process potential in a reservoir.
This document discusses various enhanced oil recovery (EOR) methods, including waterflooding, surfactant/polymer flooding, polymer flooding, miscible gas flooding using CO2 and hydrocarbons, nitrogen/flue gas flooding, and thermal methods like steamflooding. For each method, the document provides a brief description, discusses the mechanisms for improving oil recovery efficiency, and outlines typical limitations and challenges. It also presents screening criteria charts for evaluating the suitability of different EOR methods based on factors like reservoir depth, oil viscosity, and permeability.
This document provides an overview of offshore oil and gas facilities, including wellhead platforms. It describes the typical components and functions of wellhead platforms, such as slots for drilling wells, wellhead control equipment, production manifolds, test separators, and utilities. The document outlines the process systems of a typical wellhead platform and summarizes the purpose and design of components like pig launchers, vents, flares, utility gas systems, drain systems, and chemical injection. Diagrams illustrate the installation and components of wellhead platforms such as the jacket, decks, cranes, pipelines, and safety equipment.
This 3-day course provides an overview of subsea engineering for oil and gas field developments. It covers key topics such as field layout and design, flow assurance, subsea hardware, flowlines, risers, umbilicals, and production controls. The course is taught through lectures and case studies, including one on BP's Greater Plutonio field. Past participants found the course to be excellent for gaining subsea knowledge from an experienced instructor.
A subsea completion involves installing well equipment on the seafloor such that the producing well does not have a vertical conduit back to a fixed offshore structure. It consists of a production tree, upper completion connecting the tree to the lower completion, and a lower completion installed across the producing intervals. Subsea completions provide environmental and economic benefits over other offshore development alternatives in deep waters. However, their success relies on maintaining production over time without interruptions, which requires addressing regulatory, safety, economic, technological, and environmental factors.
Scsssv surface control subsurface safety valveElsayed Amer
The document discusses subsurface safety valves (SSSVs), which are installed downhole to allow emergency shutdown and prevent uncontrolled hydrocarbon release from a well. SSSVs were not in place during the Piper Alpha platform disaster, exacerbating the accident. SSSVs come in two types: wireline-retrievable, which can be easily installed/removed via wireline but restrict flow; and tubing-retrievable, which are integral to the tubing and avoid flow restrictions but require pulling tubing for repair. Recommended minimum setting depths are 50m below the deepest pile for offshore and 100m below ground level for onshore. [/SUMMARY]

This document provides an overview of offshore platform design, including the types of platforms, their key components, design considerations, and loads. The main types of platforms discussed are fixed structures like jacket platforms and compliant towers, and floating structures like tension leg platforms, semi-submersibles, and spars. Design involves considering environmental loads from waves, wind, earthquakes, and more, as well as structural analysis and ensuring stability.
Drill ships are modified ships designed to carry out deep sea drilling operations. They have drilling platforms and derricks amidships, with openings called moon pools that extend down through the decks. Dynamic positioning systems and anchors help stabilize drill ships in deep, turbulent waters where they conduct exploratory drilling. Drill ships can move between drilling sites under their own power, saving time compared to towing semi-submersible platforms. However, drill ships face challenges with stability in rougher seas compared to semi-submersibles.
Offshore platforms are large structures located at sea that house crews and machinery used for exploring and producing natural resources like fossil fuels from under the ocean bed. There are various types of offshore platforms including fixed platforms, compliant towers, jack-up platforms, semi-submersible platforms, drillships, tension-leg platforms, SPAR platforms, and unmanned installations. Over 6,500 offshore oil and gas platforms are located around the world, with the largest numbers in the Gulf of Mexico, Asia, and Europe. Platforms can be either fixed to the seabed or floating, and are used to extract resources from shallow to very deep waters.
