Abstract

Statoil has successfully managed to operate the first commercial application of multi-purpose shuttle tanker technology, along with the first use of Framo's subsea booster pumps and submerged turret production swivel. Five of Framo's subsea booster pumps have been integrated with the trees on the subsea template at 330 m depth, and have been in successful operation for over a year. Bill Hopson describes how diverless subsea production equipment meets floating production technology, resulting in a system which can withstand savage environmental conditions and accommodate the oil reservoir's somewhat difficult production characteristics.
