Azeri, Chirag & Gunashli Full Field Development Phase 3 Environmental & Socio-economic Impact Assessment Final Report 5.5 Offshore Platform Production 5.5.1 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 5.21.
