Increased Oil Recovery

Enhancing brownfield oil recovery andenabling greenfield development

• Brownfield challenges:

− Declining oil & gas production − Increasing water production− Constrained topside facilities

− Cost of Equipment failures

• Greenfield challenges:

− Heavy oil − Low reservoir pressure− Hydrate formation

StatoilHydro – Tordis ProjectEnhancing Brownfield Oil Recovery

• First full-scale subsea separation system

• Gas/Oil/Water/Sand Separation

• Capacity 200,000 barrels/day

• Potential to recover additional 19 million barrels of oil

Project Partners:

Total – Pazflor ProjectEnabling greenfield economic viability

• New field (greenfield) with heavy oil and hydrate risk

• Gas/liquid separation with boosting at 2,000 ft. depth

• Producing to FPSO with:

− 49 subsea trees and production control systems

− 3 gas/liquid separation and boosting systems

− Potential for additional 21 wells and 1 subsea separation system

Project Partners:

Angola

Petrobras – Marlim ProjectEnhancing brownfield oil recovery

• First deepwater subsea oil/water separation system

• Mature field (brownfield) with heavy oil and increasing water production

• Gas/oil/water/sand separation at 3,000 ft. depth
