Abstract The objective of the study was to examine the assertion that marginal oil field development remains one of the economic fortunes of Niger Delta region in Nigeria. This is evident with its shares in the region power output as well as its contribution to the industrialization. Multiple case studies of marginal oil field operations corroborate the relationship between marginal field development and economic fortunes of Niger Delta region. Marginal field firms provide electricity to the host communities where they operate. Also, industries are fed with natural gas from marginal field operating in the region. The marginal field operators ensures that host communities are getting electricity. Also cement factory is fed from natural gas operating in the area. However, the management of marginal field resources has been far from being optimally beneficial. The real issue is how to manage the marginal field for the welfare of the people. Against this background, the study findings suggested that the country marginal field wealth be used to implement people-oriented programmes for better welfare spread.

As the development of offshore marginal field becomes a heated topic, various design selections of offshore platform have already been put forward in the community such as Sevan SSP, IQFP-FPSO, octagonal FPSO or sandglass-type FDPSO. In this paper, a new Muliti-Cylinder FPSO (MCPSO) with section pile foundation is proposed for developing offshore marginal field in South China Sea. And the structure design in detail has been described. The MCPSO consists of six cylindrical concrete tanks and six suction piles. The suction piles can be raised up during platform towing process. Considering the effects of tanks and piles on the towing stability, both intact and damage stability analysis of MCPSO were performed under different towing conditions. The influence of ballast ratio, towing direction and different damaged modes on the towing stability is analyzed. The results indicate that the MCPSO has the characteristics of self-installation, movable, reusable and so on, which is suitable for the development of marginal oil field. The MCPSO filled with 40% seawater in ballast tank and towed in 90 direction has the best intact and damage stability characteristic.

Rationale for selection and calculation of the optimal system for the development of the Pechora Sea oil field is an extremely difficult scientific-technical task. Severe climate conditions of the Arctic region, ice cover, well stock formation limits, slow rates of drilling for offshore oil fields, and remoteness from supply bases multiply the cost of projects and create significant difficulties in engineering design the field development system. To solve these problems, one needs to use highly efficient technologies for offshore oil fields development, which will ensure intensive oil production, thus obtaining significant revenues to pay off the expenses. The purpose of this work is to provide the basis for selection as well as calculate the optimum development system for an oil field in the eastern part of the Pechora Sea. The solution of the tasks was carried out on the basis of the features identified in the development of Arctic offshore oil fields, the analysis of geological and physical data on the oil field, a set of theoretical, analytical works, and mathematical modeling. Mathematical modeling was performed using standard and adapted methods for calculating oil field development systems. Based on the data received, it was concluded that it is the linear system of horizontal wells, which is optimal for the field development. Horizontal wells critical and initial flow rate and basic technical indicators have been calculated versus time. The estimation of the discounted cash flow and the discounted profit index has demonstrated that the investment project can be initiated. Since the oil field is now under supplementary exploration, the data obtained in the research can be applied for designing the oil field development system as soon as its industrial exploitation is approved.
