Technical talk

An overview of an Oil and Gas Technology Centre (OGTC) study to consider the economic impact of applying the innovative Pseudo Dry Gas technology to known stranded gas fields to the North of Shetland islands, making a gas gathering corridor stretching 200km and 1.7km deep. The scope included a detailed flow assurance analysis, and integrated asset modelling for multiple development options to determine the estimated total recovery. This study was supported by data from the UK Oil and Gas Authority. The technology is currently undergoing initial prototype testing at Cranfield University.

Historically subsea tie back systems have been generally limited to around 120km as a single pipeline or 150km as duel pipelines after which they become uneconomic due to increasing back-pressures within the gathering system. Therefore resulting in stranded gas fields.

The Pseudo Dry Gas system dramatically reduces pressure drop within multiphase pipeline allowing significantly longer and deeper gas tiebacks, making stranded fields accessible. All this while typically lowering operational CO2 emissions by half over comparable development options.

The presentation will show the comparative study for a known stranded gas basin for a range of development options based on current and near future technology in order to demonstrate the value proposition and CO2 emission reduction of the Pseudo Dry Gas technology.

Time

Refreshments and networking from 18:00, AGM at 18:30, the presentation will start at 19:00.
