... Abstract Libra field has reservoir fluids with high GOR and CO 2 content which add significant challenges to the development projects. Innovative solutions on topsides were assessed to optimize the process plant, aiming to reduce complexity, footprint, and weight, to allow processing capacity...

... Abstract This paper describes Total's patented wash tank oil processing system, now globally licensed to Sulzer 1 , which optimizes the water-from-oil separation by relocating part of the process from the FPSO's topsides to specifically designed hull tanks while eliminating the need...

... multiple offshore fields, avoiding a stranded investment. This paper addresses topsides where flexibility in topsides processing units is advantageous for pursuit of multiple marginal fields over the life of the FLNG asset, focusing on the 4.5 to 9 MSm 3 /day (160 to 330 MMSCFD) of natural gas liquefied...

...–disciplinary crisis management team, all necessary efforts and procedures were implemented to remove the plug from the line in less than 1 week. The main steps included topsides depressurisation, a subsea intervention, additional hydrate inhibitor injection (Methanol and especially MEG) and liquid flushing...

... vertical access to wells in water depths beyond the commercial reach of fixed and compliant platform capabilities. Fundamentally, it consists of a buoyant hull, which supports the topsides and well systems, anchored by rigid tendons to a seabed foundation to restrain vertical motions in waves. Excess...
