... Abstract This paper extends the previous studies (SNAME-ISSC-2022. OTC-24586-MS I OMC-2021) and focuses on the feasibility of repurposing shallow water offshore oil platforms for renewable energy generation using wind turbines. It is based on an economic analysis of installing wind turbines...

... in a water depth of approximately 3,250 ft. This facility is a Tension Leg Platform (TLP) floating system set on two pontoons which are anchored to the sea floor. Since it was installed in 1999 many modifications have been made to the facility to allow it to serve as a hub to multiple subsea fields...

... on an offshore platform within a short timeframe and limited human resources. The fact that intelligent and simple solutions connecting a new offshore module into the existing infrastructure cut down the expected three weeks of production downtime to only four hours for each individual Electrical Submersible...

... Abstract Real-time decision making, field surveillance, and production optimization improve the performance of existing operations to increase hydrocarbon recovery and reduce emissions. In this regard, the oil and condensate flow metering in offshore gas condensate platforms is always...

... Abstract This paper is about an HPHT subsea tieback to a gas-condensate platform. Gas and fluids from three wells are routed through individual in-field flow lines and gather at a subsea manifold several miles from the platform. The fluids pass from the manifold through a pipe-in-pipe pipeline...

... Abstract Venoco Inc. operates Platform Holly off the California coast near Goleta. To reduce operating costs and GHG emissions, Venoco undertook a program to reconfigure the platform so that oil could be dehydrated offshore and produced water injected into wells directly from the platform...

... Abstract Offshore oil and gas production platforms must undergo (possibly) expensive abandonment operations at the end of field life. In Cook Inlet Alaska, lessees are required, at abandonment, to dismantle and remove materials, machinery, equipment, etc. and return the leased lands in good...

... of reservoir depth versus API gravity for some typical North Sea discoveries with API gravity less than 25° from the Shetland Platform and Fladen Ground Spur is shown in Fig. 3 . Some of these heavy oil fields have gas caps, probably as a result of the biodegradation process or a late gas charge...

... Abstract This paper evaluates the potential risks to the topside facility of an offshore platform from an earthquake and describes what to look for during the topside design and/or a requalification process. There has, to-date, been no recorded earthquake damage to either the topsides...

.... Introduction The Dos Cuadras Field is located in the Santa Barbara Channel roughly 7.5miles southeast of Santa Barbara, California, under OCS leases P-0240 and P-0241. Platforms "A", "B", "C" and "Hillhouse"were set in the late 1960's and early 1970's to exploit the reserves in the field. The water depth...

... of this redevelopment drilling program. Introduction The Middle Ground Shoals field (MGS) was discovered in 1962. This field is a north-south trending, deeply folded anticline. New platforms were placed in 1964 and 1967 to develop this field. They were platform A and platform C, as indicated on Fig. 1. Initial...

Abstract This paper presents a methodology for performing an audit on a group of platforms to verify that the platform wells and topside facilities are being operated in conformance with current industry standards. The specific risk management audit described in the paper involved the fifteen...
