Abstract
Background. The use of subsea production systems on the shelf is widely known. However, their use in Arctic conditions is associated with a number of difficulties and is extremely limited.
Aim. Analysis of existing optimization methods for linearly extended objects. Design of methods to implement optimization approaches in the development of offshore hydrocarbon fields. Development of new methods to analyze the architecture of hydrocarbon objects.
Materials and methods. The experience of the Russian Federation in the optimal design of linearly extended objects and the analysis of arctic conditions. Existing methods of optimization of trunk pipelines.
Results. An efficient model and method have been used to develop for Arctic field development design using the subsea production system (SPS). Compared to 2D models used in the past, the new design technique offers an opportunity to make 3D models and can be used for optimization of offshore field development projects.The proposed optimization model is based on the Bellman–Ford algorithm developed for 3D networks. This approach has been used for the first time to capture key features and specific subsea production system design processes. The algorithm and block diagrams developed for the proposed SPS design method is universal. This method can be used to address tasks of a more general nature. Optimization of the particular case between a single start point (well location) and single end point (SPS facility) is implemented as a separate software package, but the scope of applications is not limited by such cases and may be extended even further.
Conclusion. The presented method of optimal design of SPS architecture allows solving the problem in a particular case. It can also be very efficient for Arctic subsea field development. The authors suggest that this method is universal, however further research is required.
