... Abstract This paper describes the challenges and opportunities facing operators with mature assets in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico. Oxy has a large deepwater asset base that, although mature, continues to provide the company value through robustness coupled with enhanced recovery techniques...

... the conventional chemical cleaning is eliminated. Special design considerations must be made to maintain operational robustness without the chemical cleaning in place unit. Baker Hughes and its partners are proposing to move the seawater treatment system to the seabed to simplify and debottleneck the topside...

... consideration of aspects such as safety, application, robustness, simplicity, standardization, cost of ownership and project execution philosophy. While most of the main technology elements are available and proven in use there is a great potential for interface standardization by introduction of new equipment...

... Joint Industry Projects with Operators. It is shown that this system is conceptually designed in order to increase robustness regarding a wide diversity of field conditions and production issues, requiring low maintenance. This analysis is made comparing SpoolSep concept with the alternative solutions...

... corrosion and wear are reduced compared to steel components. However, one remaining technical challenge of synthetic mooring lines is to increase their resistance and robustness against external damage and abrasion. Functional requirements like pre-laying on the seabed and resistance against fish trawl...

... Abstract This paper outlines a methodology for developing consistent robustness criteria; accounting for multiple hazards that may occur during long Return Period (RP) events, and accounting for other degradation mechanisms unrelated to long RP events but, based on experience, were root causes...

... water conditions for VIV at NASA's Natural Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL). The experiment also examined the robustness of PTMD for different frequency VIVs. Experimental results showed that the PTMD effectively reduced the in-plane and out-plane vibration of the jumper up to 90%. The observed reduction...

.... Machine qualification activities included both component and full scale testing levels with the aim to arrive at a low risk subsea compressor solution with utmost robustness and reliability. The component testing level placed major focus on screening available materials to withstand exposure to the raw...

... expressive levels of contaminants and a significant compositional grading, laterally and vertically. This complexity denotes how challenging is to define robust development plans and suitable recovery mechanisms. In order to adequately address these issues and optimize the hydrocarbon recovery...

... the governing criteria. Uncertainties in estimating the design loads and component strengths are allowed for by the application of safety factors. The analyses undertaken are linear and take no account of the reserve strength, and the robustness of the system. This paper discusses how the use of X-bracing leads...

... water development in the Norwegian sector is Troll at some 320 metres and in the UK sector is Magnus at less than 200 metres. One of the key challenges for the UK oil industry is to access the technology necessary to exploit deep water discoveries. directional drilling water depth robustness...
