5 Offshore Platform Production 5
1 Overview Offshore production consists of a number of operations that allow the safe and efficient production of hydrocarbons from the flowing wells
The key operations that will be conducted at the offshore platform include: Produced hydrocarbon separation; • • • • • • • Gas processing; Oil and gas export; Well testing; Produced water treatment and injection; Seawater lift for cooling duty and injection; and Utilities to support these processes
A simplified process flow diagram illustrating the principal offshore processes is presented in Figure 5
