Abstract
The floating nuclear power plant (FNPP) is a solution to the thermal supply in offshore oil and gas fields, including the applications in thermal recovery and flow assurance. The output power of marine reactors under development in China matches the thermal demand of offshore oil fields. In order to analyse the thermal supply mode, the following aspects are investigated: the application scenarios, the thermal loss of the thermal supply pipeline, and the selection of platform type. Then, a case study is presented to illustrate the applicability of FNPP in the Bohai Sea for the enhancement of oil recovery. The case shows that the current solution works well with the offshore marginal oil field. The future solution is also discussed as to further improve the economy of FNPP.
