Due to the remoteness of most facilities from the shore, commissioning and operation of an offshore oil and gas installation can be complex and challenging. A multitude of issues and problems can arise during both the hook-up and commissioning and operational phases. From transportation and logistical issues to shutdowns caused by bad weather and offloading operations, the problems can be wide ranging. This presentation aims to provide a feel for the sort of problems that commonly arise during the life of an offshore installation.
