Abstract:A study of offshore production units with large fluids processing capacity is presented, focusing in ultra deep water scenario (higher than 2,000 m) and the production of light oil, with high Gas Oil Ratio (GOR) and CO2 contamination. This situation fits to some exploratory and production areas offshore Brazil.
Taking a regular size FPSO as the comparative base, analysis explored the impacts of different processing capacities on energy demand, weight and footprint requirements. The evaluation… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
