AbstracUThe article reviews the problems caused by the conflict of interests between certain Southeast Asian countries and other states, China foremost, which aroused from oil and gas field development on disputable offshore sections. At the same time the positions of the region's leading transnational corporations in the field of oil and gas policy and their relationships with the countries-ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) members are outlined. Separately are represented the foreign policy stands of Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei, Philippines and Malaysia on territorial disputes over offshore oil and gas fields. These processes are pushing both European and American business to abandon the conventional schemes and accept the new conditions of their activity in Southeast Asia.

Abstract The objective of the paper is to develop a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model for optimum design and scheduling of offshore oil and gas field development in respect to simultaneous consideration of economic and environmental impact. The model is utilized as a tool for decision making management in conceptual stage. Nonlinear reservoir behavior and floating demand constraint are incorporated to improve accuracy of the solution. This paper utilizes mathematical programming techniques to address the design and scheduling problem of offshore oil and gas field development. Field development problem is first formulated into a multi-objective MINLP model incorporating many realistic features such as nonlinear reservoir behavior and floating demands. The objectives are to maximize net present value (NPV) and minimize total environmental impact (TEI) simultaneously. Environmental impact is assessed using the ReCiPe2016 method. Augmented ε-constraint method (AUGMECON) is then employed to solve the proposed multi-objective MINLP model to generate the Pareto-optimal front that is able to assist decision maker selecting the most preferred solution. The performance of the proposed modelling framework is investigated on a set of problem which consists of 2 reservoirs, 2 FPSOs, 2 customers and 5-years planning horizon. First model with single objective function to maximize NPV can be solved effectively within short computational time. The solution gives optimum decision of design, investment, production schedule, and transportation regardless the environmental impact. Then, simultaneous optimization of multi-objective MINLP with different value of ε-constraint generates multiple development schemes and objective function values. The results indicate trade-off between maximizing NPV and minimizing TEI. It is possible to obtain maximum NPV of USD 2.4 trillion at the expense of TEI which is 307.518 or to generate minimum TEI of 16.65 at the expense of NPV which is USD 74.368 billion. All possible solutions within extreme values range are presented in form of a Pareto-optimal front where TEI and NPV are plotted in x and y-axis respectively. It will assist the company to select the most preferred solution based on NPV. Consequently, the selected option brings corresponding value of TEI. Additionally, the Pareto optimal front also allows decision maker to have more flexibility to compromise between economic and environmental issues. This is the first study to consider environmental impact in the offshore oil and gas field development. Many realistic operational features such as nonlinear reservoir behavior and floating demands are also incorporated. In addition to that, the proposed framework yields a powerful tool to assist decision maker selecting the most preferred solution that satisfies their criteria in both economic and environmental aspects.

Steel risers for deepwater offshore oil and gas field developments are subject to seawater on the external surfaces, produced fluids on the internal surfaces and to fatigue loading. This paper reviews current knowledge of the corrosion fatigue behaviour of welded stainless steel for risers and presents results of testing of supermartensitic, duplex and superduplex grades in relevant environments.
