Aberdeen floating production solutions specialist Amplus Energy Services has teamed up with offshore project management, engineering and construction major Technip to develop marginal fields in the North Sea.
Much of the estimated remaining UKCS reserves base of up to 24billion barrels oil equivalent is inaccessible using existing infrastructure and given that there are literally hundreds of mini-fields to potentially tap, compact, low-cost, autonomous production systems would appear to offer a solution.
This is why Amplus has developed a dynamically positioned, compact floating production, offloading and storage (FPSO) vessel, also why Technip has been drawn to the challenge.
