The authors of this paper study the effect of solids particles on oil/water separators and on produced-water treatment.

After producing for 43 years, the Statfjord A platform will cease production in 2022.

Applying sufficient passive fire protection (PFP) on topside structural-steel members is critical. Simplified and conservative approaches are available to estimate the extent and amount of PFP necessary.

Operators’ demands for structural designs are changing along with the need to produce from harsher environments, deeper waters, remote areas, and marginal fields. New-builds and modifications require different approaches in assessment of cost, design, and construction.
