Final presentation of a feasibility study performed this year (2009) covering many aspects of marginal platform design, fabrication, transport and installation.
The world today has about 4000 offshore support vessels of various types. While statistical data are not very precise, there appears to be more than 200 under construction at present. These modern vessels, intended for fleet replacement on the one hand, and to meet the more demanding needs of deeper water operations on the other, are of much improved designs and packed with multifunctional capabilities.
This document provides an overview of FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) vessel design and systems. It discusses the key components of an FPSO including the hull, mooring systems, fluid transfer systems, topside process facilities, marine systems for cargo handling and offloading, and support utilities. The document focuses on turret mooring systems as the predominant mooring type used on FPSOs and how they enable weathervaning and fluid transfer between subsea infrastructure and the topside processing facilities.
The document is a report on enhanced oil recovery through caustic flooding submitted by Dhiman Kakati. It discusses the mechanisms of caustic flooding including reduction of oil-water interfacial tension through formation of in-situ surfactants. Experiments were conducted to measure the interfacial tension between Assam crude oil and an aqueous solution of 1% sodium bicarbonate using a spinning drop tensiometer. The results showed that interfacial tension remained constant for a fixed rotational speed but increased with increasing drop diameter. The report concludes that Assam crude oil would be responsive to caustic flooding based on the experimental observations and outlines some key factors for effective implementation of caustic flooding in oil reservoirs.
The six main steps to build an oil platform are:
1. Long steel tubes are welded together to form the frame or "jacket" which is towed out to the field and secured onto the seabed.
2. The topsides structure is constructed separately with equipment and then floated over and lowered onto the secured jacket.
3. After construction of the multi-decked topsides is completed by connecting all pipework and equipment, it is loaded onto a barge for transport.
C1. Introduction to Offshore Production TechDavid Seow
The document discusses offshore oil and gas production and focuses on floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) platforms. It describes FPSOs as having four key functions - floating, production, storage, and offloading. FPSOs are preferred for remote locations, smaller marginal fields, deep waters where fixed platforms are not viable, and areas where mobility is needed to avoid harsh weather. Their modular, self-contained design also makes them easier to decommission and reuse compared to fixed platforms.
This document provides an introduction to the oil and gas industry. It discusses the following key points:
- Venezuela has the largest proven crude oil reserves in the world at 301 billion barrels, followed by Saudi Arabia and Canada.
- In 2021, the top crude oil producers were the US, Saudi Arabia, and Russia, which collectively produced around 43% of global oil.
- Crude oil is a mixture of hydrocarbons that were formed from ancient organic materials under heat and pressure underground. It is refined into useful products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
- The oil and gas industry has three main segments - upstream exploration and production, midstream transportation and processing, and downstream refining.
There are several types of oil platforms used to extract oil and natural gas from offshore sites. Fixed platforms are anchored directly to the seabed using concrete or steel legs. Jackup platforms have legs that can be lowered to the seabed for drilling but are raised during operations. Semi-submersibles have good stability in rough seas and are commonly used for offshore drilling in deep waters. Compliant and floating platforms are connected to the seabed and can move with external forces.
This document provides an overview of offshore oil and gas production systems. It describes the major components which include wells, platforms, pipelines and processing facilities. It outlines different types of offshore platforms suited for varying water depths, such as fixed steel structures, compliant towers, jack-up platforms and floating production systems. It discusses the crews and roles required to operate offshore platforms. It also summarizes fire and explosion protection systems, environmental protection measures, and how supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are used to remotely monitor wells.

The document discusses an alkaline-surfactant-polymer (ASP) flood at an oil reservoir. Surfactants reduce oil-water tension to mobilize trapped oil while alkalis make the reservoir more water-wet. Initial ASP injection targeted 34% of the pore volume across 45 production and 18 injection wells. Major challenges included silicate scale buildup, which decreased injectivity and production over time. Later phases increased polymer injection and used improved scale inhibitors to partially address production declines, but ultimate recovery estimates were still reduced.
Our lubricator assembly is designed to enable safe wellhead servicing operations at pressures between 2,000 psi and 15,000 psi. The lubricator assembly consists of a lubricator, a valve retainer plug or blowout preventer (optional), and other tools. It allows installation and retrieval of valve retainer plugs and blowout preventers through a wellhead under pressure. Well-organized engineering and field testing have helped our lubricator assembly products lead the industry in China and gain international customers.

This document provides an overview of offshore platform design, including the types of platforms, their key components, design considerations, and loads. The main types of platforms discussed are fixed structures like jacket platforms and compliant towers, and floating structures like tension leg platforms, semi-submersibles, and spars. Design involves considering environmental loads from waves, wind, earthquakes, and more, as well as structural analysis and ensuring stability.
Drill ships are modified ships designed to carry out deep sea drilling operations. They have drilling platforms and derricks amidships, with openings called moon pools that extend down through the decks. Dynamic positioning systems and anchors help stabilize drill ships in deep, turbulent waters where they conduct exploratory drilling. Drill ships can move between drilling sites under their own power, saving time compared to towing semi-submersible platforms. However, drill ships face challenges with stability in rougher seas compared to semi-submersibles.
Offshore platforms are large structures located at sea that house crews and machinery used for exploring and producing natural resources like fossil fuels from under the ocean bed. There are various types of offshore platforms including fixed platforms, compliant towers, jack-up platforms, semi-submersible platforms, drillships, tension-leg platforms, SPAR platforms, and unmanned installations. Over 6,500 offshore oil and gas platforms are located around the world, with the largest numbers in the Gulf of Mexico, Asia, and Europe. Platforms can be either fixed to the seabed or floating, and are used to extract resources from shallow to very deep waters.

Offshore platforms are structures installed in bodies of water to facilitate petroleum drilling and production. There are several types of offshore platforms including fixed platforms, compliant platforms, and floating platforms. Fixed platforms are directly fixed to the seabed and include jacket platforms and gravity-based structures. Compliant platforms, like tension leg platforms, use tethers to connect to the seabed and allow for some movement. Floating platforms are not directly attached and include semi-submersibles and FPSOs (floating production, storage, and offloading vessels).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
