Abstract

This paper reports that the Goodfellow Assocs. Susbsea Processing (GASP) project addressed most of the major problem posed by the development of remote, small, marginal, or satellite oil and natural gas fields in deep waters. It considered a number of field development scenarios and , in particular, reviewed cases for fields situated up to 30 km from a platform- or shore-based processing facility. During the design of the resultant modularized GASP system, it was determined that an inspection, maintenance, and repair (IMR) philosophy needed to be developed. The number of field development scenarios involved, the different module dimensions and weights, and the remote driverless activities required in deeper waters resulted in a separate project, Maintenance and Retrieval Equipment (MARE).
