Economical development of small isolated fields. W.G. Edwards. SPE Production Facilities, November 1995, 10(4), 209--212.
Consideration is given to the development of such fields for which a new platform is not justified or where there is no suitable existing host platform available. The production system described comprises a two-stage subsea separator near the subsea well(s) from which production is tied in by flexible flowlines. Oil/water/gas separation being achieved at near atmospheric pressure, enabling safe loading of the `dead' crude into a tanker. Gas is flared at a surface buoy that also contains power generation and chemical injection facilities. Liquids are pumped to a tanker-loading CALM buoy, thence to the connected shuttle tanker. Control being autonomous, based on a programmable logic controller in the subsea control module.
