New satellite field development utilising existing offshore platform facilities
     

  

MSE Case Study:

 

New Satellite Field Development Utilising Existing Offshore Platform Facilities

 

Client

Mobil North Sea 

Field/Platform

Skene Beryl Alpha

Task/Objective

Evaluate existing assets for a new satellite field development

Key Results

The model of the facility showed only 88% of new gas could be handled therefore the new compression facility was sized and optimised accordingly

Core Competencies

  • MSE’s knowledge base

  • Nomination and production forecasting

  • Integration of reservoir and facility uncertainty

  • Compression, Turbine and process design

  • Dynamic and static simulation

Overview

Mobil's Beryl Alpha platform is a mature asset while Skene is a 170 MMSCFD gas condensate field development. The capacity of the existing gas impression system for a range of options for evacuating Skene gas through Beryl Alpha existing facilities was evaluated by MSE.

At the start of any project, knowing if investment should be focused on buying new equipment or in modifying existing infrastructure is important as it saves both resources and money.

For this project, a model was constructed of the existing compression facilities on Beryl A. After a very careful analysis of the system, MSE concluded that only 88% of Skene gas could be evacuated through existing compressors, therefore a new train was necessary.

By arriving at the right decision early in the study phase, Mobil were able to focus their efforts on the optimum solution.
