Separation/treating
Sharing state-of-the-art design and troubleshooting methods, the workshop identified future separation needs and gap statements and proposed how to close the gaps.
The pitfalls of utilizing an existing vessel without proper review are highlighted.
This first of a two-part series provides guidelines for designing and operating advanced produced-water systems on offshore platforms, covering fluid characterization, chemical treatment, equipment, process configuration, operations, and effluent quality.

The Savvy Separator series continues as we share case studies of troubleshooting separator problems. This article focuses on instrumentation and operating issues. Brief problem statements, root causes, and lessons learned are given. -
The retrofit merged enhanced gravity separation with induced gas flotation within the same vessel. Detailed insights into the design, operation, and performance of hybrid flotation systems are provided, offering valuable guidance for similar initiatives in the petroleum industry.

The Libra Consortium, led by Brazil’s Petrobras, has developed a method of separating carbon dioxide from reservoir fluids at the seafloor rather than the FPSO topsides.
-
This paper outlines issues to be resolved during facility design and provides guidelines, calculations, and examples for sand-handling steps to be implemented after separation.
-
Over 1,000 hours of remotely monitored continuous production was achieved on an unmanned platform—a first for standalone offshore solids management in the North Sea.
-
This paper highlights solids-management technologies that are currently available and still in use topside (some of which are potentially outdated).
-
A system that could help turn stranded-gas fields into producing projects has moved closer to reality, aided by the growing focus on reductions in carbon emissions.
-
This selection of papers will familiarize facilities engineers with a variety of topics so they are more prepared for what 2022 may bring.
