Abstract
An offshore petroleum production system is composed by a set of equipment placed from the wellhead to the surface process FPU, including the storage and offloading system for the produced oil. Today, the design of an offshore production system is more sophisticated and complex due to the ultra water depth and the long distance from the coast to the offshore oilfield, among others. Initially, technically-feasible alternatives are built, then, the best alternative between different sets of available equipment is selected. The selection process must consider cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, technical effectiveness, technological confidence, and logistic simplicity of each alternative. Metrics to find attractiveness of a given alternative from economic, technological and environmental point of view were based on previous studies and a new indicator, as an attribute involving logistics, was defined and included by the author. Multi-attribute technique was used to define the total attribute for each alternative on the decision-making. The proposed selection process was applied through a real field evaluation, and discussions are shown. A comparison with the actual system in the field of study showed the good performance of the proposed selection process and improvements in the process were obtained from the inclusion of the new logistic attribute.
