5.1 Brownfield Subsea Re-engineering
The industry challenge is to take a “Life of Field “ perspective with the design and
management of subsea facilities.
The challenge is to improve the engineer’s compliance with industry and pre-
established standards.
• The workgroup recommended qualification work is done before FEED, via joint
industry initiatives such as DeepStar or Demo 2000, where a budget is available
for planned equipment testing.
• The industry should drive for designs, standards and work processes that
simplify and improve life extension, help the refurbishment/upgrading of
old equipment and facilitate field expansion
Conclusions and Way Forward
• Upcoming subsea projects indicate that `business as usual` is no longer an
option: Co-operation is urgently required to eliminate unnecessary work,
reduce delivery times and through Standardization, and improve quality
• Norsk olje og gass and Norwegian Standards will together work to support
and encourage the industry to implement these recommendations
