tiebacks
-
Schlumberger, Subsea 7 alliance will supply and install a subsea boosting system in GOM field.
-
Reservoir's permeability prompted a lower peak production estimate at deepwater field.
-
The discovery in the US Gulf of Mexico was tied back through a single well completion to existing infrastructure.
-
The new field, which is tied back to the Na Kika platform, is expected to add over 20,000 B/D of new production at peak.
-
BSEE said details of the policy change will come later this year.
-
The traditional subsea tieback model is evolving, supported by advances in flow assurance that allow tiebacks over much longer distances and by the introduction of new technologies that increase overall cost effectiveness.
-
A small core team with the ability to make decisions was responsible for getting a subsea tie-back project up to sanction within a short-time frame.
-
The motto of the Olympic Games is “Citius, Altius, Fortius,” Latin for “faster, higher, stronger,” which emphasizes the concept of pushing the limits. As an engineer, that approach really speaks to me—and offshore installations, and especially offshore tiebacks, illustrate that concept very well.
-
Eni conducted a research project to explore the maturity of new technologies to enable economical development of deepwater prospects with tieback distances longer than 50 km and 150 km, respectively, for oil and gas fields.

Subsea advancements in the works include longer tiebacks, an underwater drone that lives on the seafloor, and a robotic manifold capable of actuating dozens of valves. Do these new capabilities, born of necessity, signal a sea change in industrywide technology development?
