Subsea
During the broad lifespan of an oil field development, a large number of activities are carried out under the surface. Pre-production activities range from the initial exploration and field viability assessment to the well drilling and completion. During the production stage, activities such as downhole production, artificial lifting or EOR activities are carried out. Finally, at the post-production stage the decommissioning takes place, the wells are plugged and part of the casing has to be removed.
All these activities take place at depths of miles below the surface and under thousands of feet of water. As a result, the financial costs associated with any unexpected failure are enormous. FEA and CFD modelling play an important role in quantifying key risks and evaluating various mitigation/reduction strategies in advance of any detailed design.
