For the purpose of concurrent engineering, ease of fabrication, time to first oil and reduction
of onsite special competencies, the topside of FPSO is divided into several modules …

This paper explores further and describes the System Readiness Level estimation for means
of production in the oil and gas industry, through a case study. The concept as Technology …

This paper presents a framework for the availability assessment of subsea distribution
systems during the functional design (selection) phase. This framework, which also includes …

With the demand to reduce the release of CO2‐rich gases into the atmosphere, the offshore
industry is turning to systems for gas capture and storage. The construction of a cave for that …

This article applies formal system engineering methods in early‐phase concept studies in
the subsea oil and gas industry to identify early‐phase needs, and reduce late‐phase …

An interface refers to any logical or physical relationship required to integrate the
boundaries between subsystems or between subsystems and their environment. The …

Systems readiness level (SRL) is a metric for assessing progress in developing major
subsea systems. SRL methodology builds on technology readiness levels (TRLs) …

​ Due to the high investment costs for deep-water subsea production systems of high-value
subsea fields, it is crucial to ensure a high availability to recover the investment. The …

Engineers are often called to deal with situations for which there is no precedence or a
known solution. They rely on their expertise to make decisions, and in some cases the …

The truly complex element of modern times is not the technology, but the engineers who
develop, design, manufacture, and maintain it. An engineer's job is to change/improve …
