Improved planning methods for more energy efficient and environmentally friendly fields in the Barents Sea 

PhD Candidate Seok Ki Moon

Main Supervisor Milan Stanko

Sponsor: Aker BP

This project studies field planning methods to develop offshore fields with a small environmental footprint, increased energy efficiency and reduced emissions. The focus is on:
1) improving understanding of environmental KPIs and how are they influenced by field design features
2) development of a digital twin of the field study case to predict emissions, energy usage and efficiency of the field
3) development of computational routines for decision support
4) study of alternative economic valuation
 

Improved planning method for more energy efficient and environmentally friendly field development

Results of a study case from Aker BP show it is possible to find alternatives that have both good environmental and economic performance.
