Technical Report from the year 2014 in the subject Engineering - Naval Engineering, Ocean Engineering, grade: A, Robert Gordon University Aberdeen (School of Engineering), course: Master of Science Oil and Gas Engineering, language: English, abstract: The Gazelle field is located offshore Kuwait in Iranian waters very close to Shat Al Arab. The field discovered with the initial exploration well in 1990. Oil production is via a steel piled jacket platform, and the export system is via FSO to a shuttle tanker. After a number of years of production, the oil rates have come off plateau with increasing amount of water cut. Field sensitivities require a new development of the Gazelle field.§According to the project brief, three field developments options were proposed such as: Refurbishment and upgrade of present system Replacement of the oil export via the FSO and Complete system replacement§The approach used to evaluate and recommend the most suitable development concept was based on Economics (technical costs) Flexibility (project implementation) and Abandonment strategies
