Subsea Processing – Ongoing Projects and Developments

Ove Jahnsen, Manger – Early Phase and Market/Subsea Process Systems, FMC Technologies

FMC Technologies is currently supplying subsea processing equipment to several projects worldwide. Among these are Pazflor in Angola, BC-10 in Brazil and Perdido in the Gulf of Mexico. All of these projects include subsea separation and boosting. In addition, FMC Technologies is supplying boosting solutions to the Cascade and Chinook project in the Gulf of Mexico, and have supplied a subsea separation, boosting and injection system for the Tordis field in the North Sea.

Although the solutions for these projects are different, many of the technological challenges are similar. A brief overview of the technological challenges for these projects was presented, together with the proposed solutions and qualified technology utilised. Recent developments within subsea processing was also discussed. In conclusion, examples on how this technology can be applied in was presented.

 

What Are the Drivers, Challenges and the Technology Systems Readily Available

Tony Laing, General Manager, Framo UK

This presentation explored what is subsea processing, the drivers and challenges and reviewed how technologies systems have been developed suitable for process fluids in a subsea application. Founded in 1982, Framo Engineering’s, indigenous business is subsea processing with 25 systems delivered globally and over 900,000 operating hours; some may suggest this is in its infancy and to some subsea processing is a mature business.
