Overview of the GASP project; Field applications and economics
- Goodfellow Lovie Associates (GB)
This paper reports that the aim of the Goodfellow Assocs. subsea production (GASP) project was to develop a subsea production system for use in the development of marginal oil fields. The project was divided into three phases that culminated in testing a prototype system in a dry dock. The GASP system enables manifolding of products, separation of gas from produced liquids, and transportation of gas and liquids, and transportation of gas and liquids through separate lines. The produced liquids are pumped with a single-phase pumping system that is highly modularized for ease of installation and retrieval of key components. GASP is suitable for deepwater application and development of marginal fields far from the host platform. The economics were assessed with probabilistic methods to weigh the uncertainties. Developing marginal fields with the GASP system looks attractive, offering a development cost of $2.50 to $5.50 per barrel in many typical instances.
