Introduc
tion
 \;
Topside oil and gas production facilities
have developed for over half a century as production first moved offshore
on fixed platforms with pipelines to today's floating structures with sub
sea tie-backs and marine offloading systems. Technology trends for offshor
e topsides systems will continue to mature to keep pace as the industry mo
ves to more remote locations in harsher environments and discovers more ch
allenging production fluids with high CO2/H2S levels
, heavy oil, and high water cuts. What are the current best practices in o
ffshore topsides systems? How are controls and communications improving wi
th electronics miniaturization? How can topsides systems handle increasing
production volumes in harsher environments? How are industry standards ev
olving in the global market? This technology showcase will focus on curren
t best practices, technology challenges, and emerging solutions.
