This 5 day training course is designed with the aim of identifying optimum offshore facilities in field development. Depending on a number of criteria, in addition to cost and schedule, the four key criteria are - water depth, reserves,number of wells and distance to infrastructure. The course discusses the basis of design and sea-state conditions and various marine aspects are considered in optimally selecting facilities. All types of facilities are addressed including fixed structures, mobile units and subsea systems, including deepwater. In addition to marine aspects, topsides or process aspects are also covered. Commercial aspects related to the overall project evaluation are also discussed. The course gives a comprehensive account of various facility types and their optimal use in various field situations and environmental conditions. By attending this training, participants will: -  Obtain a comprehensive understanding of the types of offshore facilities and their key characteristics  Understand key selection criteria of offshore assets for specific field development projects and related project management challenges
