Production performance of an offshore system by applying AltaRica 3.0

Dans cet article, nous presentons une etude destinee a evaluer la disponibilite d'une unite flottante de production, de stockage et de dechargement (FPSO: Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit) realisee avec le langage de modelisation AltaRica 3.0. L'objectif principal de notre travail etait d'identifier les parametres sensibles et les composants critiques a l'egard de la disponibilite de la production. Prendre en compte les parametres sensibles et s’assurer du bon fonctionnement des composants critiques peut permettre de garantir une disponibilite et une production elevees du systeme de production offshore In this article, we show the application of the AltaRica 3.0 modeling language for assessing the production availability of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading system (FPSO). The main objective of our study is to identify the sensitive parameters and crucial components with respect to the production availability. Taking care of the sensitive parameters and ensuring the well working status of crucial components can guarantee a relative high production availability of the offshore production system.
