PROJECT TITLE :

Selection of Power From Shore for an Offshore Oil and Gas Development

ABSTRACT:

With a step-out distance of 161 km and a style power of fifty five MW, Martin Linge offshore gas field can be the longest ac submarine cable power supplying an entire offshore oil and gas platform from the shore. This field development comprises a platform with a jack-up rig and a floating storage offloading unit. This paper discusses the criteria that are thought-about to pick out a power-from-shore concept rather than an offshore gas turbine power plant, that is the current apply within the offshore oil and gas trade. Since in an exceedingly initial approach, for such an extended step-out distance, the choice of power from shore would be to pick out a dc transmission line, this paper discusses the look and the most technical challenges of this long step-out ac transmission development. Finally, the system approach that is required for the event of the onshore and offshore parts of the project is described.
