Subsea compression ‐ What are the drivers Wh t th d i IOR • – Accelerated production Accelerated production – Maintain production as reservoir depletes – Utilize existing infrastructure and extend the field life time Flow assurance Flow assurance • • – Maintain gas velocity to avoid liquid accumulation in multiphase flow – Hydrate and wax. Subsea to beach • – Compensating pressure drop in transport system – Avoid surface installations Avoid surface installations – Environmental issues at harsh conditions CAPEX / OPEX considerations •
