Cadlao floating production storage and offloading system (EPSO): a new concept in offshore production

Conference · · Soc. Pet. Eng. AIME, Pap.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5690382
This work describes 2 innovative concepts. The first is the combination of all 4 main functions of an offshore production facility into one unit: production gathering; processing, treating, and gas disposal; storage; and measurement and transportation. The floating production storage and offloading system for the Cadlao field in the Philippines combines all of these functions into a single tanker based unit. The development of this production system required the application of existing operating experience together with new component design and applied research effort for specialized system features. The secondary concept is the ability to lease such an integral system.
