Onshore/Offshore Facilities
With confidence in subsea boosting performance growing, BP is incorporating pumping systems into both greenfield developments and brownfield expansions.
As the pace of new discoveries slows and high-quality prospects become harder to find, oil companies may need to rely more heavily on mature fields to maintain production and support future supply.
A shared digital mindset across subsurface, subsea, and drilling and wells is accelerating well planning at Vår Energi.

Decommissioning decision makers often need to determine the best and most practicable options for pipelines, flowlines, and power cables, including leave-in-place strategies or removal. This study presents results from several evaluations using advanced methods to support the determination of options. -
These four technical papers provide an overview of how facility decommissioning is addressed these days, including a case study in east Asia and a discussion of what to do with pipelines, flowlines, and umbilicals to preserve the environment—should they stay, or should they go?

This paper reviews the existing planning process for decommissioning projects on the UK Continental Shelf and explores an alternative approach using the facility removal date instead of the cessation of production date.
-
This paper discusses various best practice technical strategies for decommissioning which can be applied in the Southeast Asia region, and throughout the world. The strategies proposed can result in an estimated operator saving of more than 30% over the entire decommissioning execution expenditure. The processes discussed are included in the typical steps of prelimina…

When done well, planning for closure serves as a foundation for sustained socioeconomic well-being, beneficial reuse of project assets, and accountable decision-making. This ultimately contributes to an operator’s social license.
