IKM Ocean Design AS is involved in
all phases of subsea field development, i.e. Early Phase, Conceptual
Phase, Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) as well as detail design.
For
successful design and operation of a multiphase production system,
particularly for long distance and/or in deep water, the entire
flow-system must be analysed. To assure that the entire system can be
designed, built, and operated successfully and economically, IKM will
consider the reservoir characteristics and production profiles, produced
fluids properties and behavior, the design of major system components,
operating strategies, and other system variables.
Key System issues areas:
• Operating Philosophy development
• Production Flow System Operability & Functional Design
• Hydrate Prevention, Control, and Remediation
• Flow Regime Prediction, Slug Size Prediction
• Risk, Reliability and safety assessments
• Functional interface issues
• System cost and economics assessment
• Installation assessment
The
completion of the system engineering will generate fundamental
development information necessary for decision making and further
development of subject field.
• Field lifecycle cost and investment
• Field development concept and layout
• Field Design Basis
• System-level P&ID and PFD oversight
• System-level functional specifications
