Aker Solutions:
Maturing the Concept
Johan Sverdrup will be developed in multiple
phases. This first will consist of a field center with processing,
drilling, riser and accommodation platforms. These will be designed with
an expansion in mind. They will be linked by bridges and rest on steel
jacket substructures that rise about 100 meters from the seafloor.
Aker Solutions has seamless project execution
models, systems and tools that share work across locations to meet client
expectations for quality, local presence, speed and competitiveness. For
Johan Sverdrup, the delivery model for phase one has tapped expertise in
Oslo, London and Mumbai.
Processing Platform
Function: To process oil and gas to enable
transport to shore. The oil handling design capacity is 315,000 boe/day
(50,000 Sm3/day) divided into two trains and gas capacity 6 MSm3/d. The
processing system includes 3 stage separators, gas dehydration and gas
recompression equipment, gas export compressor, gas-fired heaters,
produced water processing equipment etc.
Function: The Riser Platform (RP) is a combined
riser/utility platform and provides water and chemical injection, oil and
gas export, field power and can be used for future tie-ins. The platform
is designed for a total of 45 risers and J-tubes as well as 10 caissons.
The topsides are supported on an eight-legged jacket structure. Drilling Platform
Function: To enable platform drilling and well
intervention. The Drilling Platform (DP) will also provide well bay,
production and injection manifolding functionality. The DP topside
includes a module support frame (MSF), drilling support module (DSM) and
drilling equipment set (DES). Ancillaries include two platform cranes and
supports for bridges to the Riser and Process Platforms. The platform is
based on a 4x12 well slot configuration, giving 48 well slots in total. Living Quarters Platform
Function: To provide 450 cabins and serve as
the field center (control room) for operations and telecommunications. It
will contain workshops/stores and provide emergency power and other
utilities for the field. The main mustering stations, equipped with nine
lifeboats, will be located on the LQ. A permanently stationed search and
rescue helicopter will be based here.
Three trussed-structure bridges of various lengths (80-120m). The bridges include large and small-bore pipework and have enclosed access corridors for pedestrian and fork-lift truck traffic.
