A new approach to developing a conceptual topside process design for an offshore platform

Novel Topside and Subsea Production Optimization, Operational Scheduling, and a Generic Plantwide MPC for Process Systems Control and Production Maximization: Oil, Gas, Water and Utilities Decision-Making with Offloading to Supply Chains and Sustainability

“…FPSOs have the highest invest-on yield compared to other platforms, being particularly effective in deep water and ultradeep water as they can be relocated whenever a reservoir is no longer profitable. Generally, current publications involve process design solutions (e.g., Gyllenhammar et al, 2017;Cho et al, 2018), optimization of topside layout modules (e.g., Ku et al, 2014b), topside systems (e.g., Sehgal and Khan, 2020;Reis and Gallo, 2018), or oilfield and well assignment with oil production (e.g., Gupta and Grossmann, 2012;Moolya et al, 2022), and inventory routing (e.g., Assis et al, 2021). Following Kim et al (2017), there are different ways to arrange equipment in an FPSO topside, since owners can make several operational requirements due to different philosophies and site characteristics.…”

Development of the technology for the spectral noise control of the vibration conditions of offshore platforms

“…First, it should be noted that the technical conditions, both of the individual structural elements of an offshore platform as well as of other oil and gas production facilities, each taken as a whole, usually remain within normal ranges over long periods of operation, each referred to as T 0 [1,[8][9][10]. Subsequently, due to the formation of cracks, corrosion, or wear and tear, each facility moves into a latent form of an emergency state, corresponding to the period T 1 , inevitably followed by a period T 2 , when the facility moves into a critical emergency state.…”
