“…Specialized literature exists on the criteria and key decision factors to be considered during the identification of the best host for a given offshore field development, see for example (Reid, 2013), (Dekker, 2014), or (D'Souza, 2011: this crucial decision is typically made during the Concept Selection stage of a project and is then confirmed through Pre-front end engineering design (Pre-FEED) and FEED work.…”

Subsea processing (SP) technologies and host facilities are distinct building blocks in offshore oil and gas field development; they can be regarded as complements or alternates depending on the given scenario. This paper will present a unique insight into these scenarios including applicable interactions. It will highlight the key parameters in this rarely investigated correlation which influence concept selection and full field development (FFD). The paper will also shed some light on key FFD drivers such as reservoir size and (qualitative) economics.This paper is based on thoroughly conducted secondary research covering 72 past, present, and potential-future related projects around the world. A multidisciplinary approach leveraging expertise in field development, topsides and subsea processing was developed to highlight the trends and possible future applications.The study reveals a direct correlation between subsea processing systems and host selection which plays a vital role in concept feasibility studies and full field development. Numerous subsea processing parameters have been considered during this study and a few have shown significant effects on host selection -reservoir size, water depth, field typology, etc. The generated trends reveal interesting winners and losers for various technical configurations, including a slight technology limitation dependence on geographical region. Although it may be possible to predict future applications of subsea processing technology and optimize designs based on the host's interaction with the subsea processing system, the market uncertainties still remain high; nevertheless, recommended areas of focus are presented in this paper based on identified gaps. There are not many publications on this subject; therefore some of the observations presented in this paper are novel. 2OTC-25675-MS

“…Continue to attract investment in oil refinery and petrochemicals in the direction of deep processing, improving the quality of petroleum products, proactively meeting domestic demand and towards export. For oil and shale gas, gas hydrates (flammable ice): proactively conduct more in-depth research and assessment of geology and deploy advanced science and technology to expand the exploration area; conduct a holistic assessment, and boost trial exploitation when conditions allow (Smith, 1985), (Dekker and Reid, 2014).…”
