Subsea Chemical Storage System
We help solve topside capacity challenges and enable cost-effective electrification, improved field economics and flow assurance.
SCS Sytem
The SCS system consists of storage units designed to store buoyant, neutral, and nonbuoyant production chemicals, ranging from inhibitors and EOR chemicals to preservation chemicals. Each storage unit contains one type of chemical, and the overall storage volume is dictated by chemical consumption rates and refill intervals.
The system also includes boosters, fluid transfer systems, power, control, and a monitoring system, as well as a frame and foundation. The SCS system is designed with optimal performance and simplified maintenance and allows for the continuous or intermittent injection of chemicals as well as refilling operations.
| Value Proposition | How/Description/Outcome |
Avoid topside platform space and weight restrictions | For subsea storage of EOR chemicals, an enhanced daily oil production volume of 5-10 % is possible (depending on reservoir, fluid characteristics, pressure support method). The SCS system is designed with all voluminous storage components located subsea. Modular design, adjustable in size and capacity. |
Enabling field developments and all-electric philosophy through subsea storage of large chemical volumes | Removal of expensive umbilical, placing storage and injection close to the wells. Modular design, adjustable in size and capacity. |
Low environmental impact and reduced vessel refilling frequency with larger volumes subsea | Increase production without increased CO2 emissions, as all voluminous storage components are located subsea thereby reducing the kg of CO2 emitted per barrel of oil produced. Reduced CO2 emissions during fabrication phase compared to platform extension. |
Reduce topside HSE challenges | Low operator exposure to chemicals. Reduced offshore manning. |
