Hi, I was wondering if someone could clear up an issue with regards to the topsides arrival temperature from an oil reservoir.
The data I have been provided with is as follows:
Expected flowing wellhead pressure (dry or wet trees) = 40 - 60 barg.
Expected flowing wellhead temperature (dry trees) = 70 – 80°C.
Expected flowing wellhead temperature (wet trees) = 100°C. Topsides arrival temperature ~ 20°C.
There is some suggestion that if we choose an FPSO, the inlet temperature to the first separator would be 20 degC, whilst for a twin steel jacket platform it would be 70-80 degC. Does the data above imply this? I assumed that the topsides arrival temperature would be the same for both an FPSO and twin steel jacket rig.
Thanks.
