Offshore and onshore engineering practices compared
The comparison between the practices relevant to onshore and offshore developments is the overall theme of this book. It provides help and guidance to people familiar with onshore practices who are venturing offshore for the first time or vice versa. They draw attention to the lessons of experience which benefit future developments and point to future guidelines and regulations. CONTENTS: Project economic evaluation and conceptual planning - the differences between onshore and offshore projects; A comparison of offshore and onshore plant design; Gas compression equipment - design differences between onshore and offshore applications; Experience in reliable pump design for onshore and offshore applications; Operability, reliability and maintenance - the differences onshore and offshore; Risk analysis in layout and safety engineering for platforms and terminals; The design of electrical supplies for equipment operation; Production measurements for a North Sea oil field; Chemical treatment and process equipment for water injection and oily water treatment systems offshore and onshore; Gas desulphurisation - the consequence of moving the process offshore; A comparison of offshore and onshore pipeline construction and commissioning; Pre-commissioning and commissioning of facilities onshore and offshore; Some aspects of revamp work on onshore and offshore plants.
