Subsea Processing Today and Tomorrow: Deployment Time!
16–19 June 2008
Stresa, Italy
The deployment of subsea processing systems has seen a marked acceleration
in the past couple of years, with various separation and boosting systems being
ordered for deployment in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico, West Africa, South
America and Australia. The technologies include separation (with produced water
reinjection and sand
management), raw seawater injection and multiphase pumping systems. In
addition, the full-scale qualification of subsea gas compression systems is
continuing, with plans for deployment in the next decade.
At the same time that the technology is becoming better known and accepted,
the areas of application are becoming ever more challenging. Deeper waters,
longer distance
tiebacks, more complex fluids (including heavy oils and sand production) and
the prospect of under-ice Arctic developments means that technology gaps that
are closed for today’s applications will “reopen” and require closure prior to
technology deployment in these new frontier areas.
Building on the highly successful Stresa workshop held in March 2006, the
2008 event will provide attendees with an overview of the main markets and
market drivers for
subsea processing, and enable discussion of what this means in terms of the
further technology development that is needed in order to continue deploying
qualified, reliable
and profitable systems.
Workshop Objectives and Deliverables
- Provide an overview of the global business opportunities and key drivers
for
deploying subsea processing - Review the state of the art, including case studies for recent
groundbreaking
installations - Define the technology gaps created by the need to deploy in deeper, remoter
and
harsher environments - Identify and discuss the key technology developments required to close
these
gaps - Allow for networking and increased coordination and cooperation between
industryleading
professionals
Who Should Attend
The workshop is a limited attendance meeting for up to 80 people, aimed at
professionals and decision makers in the oil and gas industry who are involved
in the design,
development, deployment, and operation of subsea processing facilities.
