Overall system arrangement and field layout
The overall system arrangement and field layout is required to satisfy a large number of diverse drivers include: • Preferred well penetration to reservoir • Preferred well path and wellhead location • Clustering of wellheads • Flow assurance limits on flowline elevation change • Avoidance of seafloor obstruction (gas expulsion areas) • Alternative riser systems • Minimizing dropped object risk • Variation in well count • Future tie-ins and gas export Subsea systems that have been proposed to date include: 1. Satellite Well production system 2. Semisubmersible production system 3. One atmospheric chamber production system 4. Subsea atmospheric system (SAS) 5. Exxon’s subsea production system (SPS)
