This paper describes the application of aero-derivative gas turbines for power generation and mechanical drive on fixed offshore oil and gas platforms. Established installation concepts are discussed and a comparison is made between two designs of pre-packaged power plant for installation on North Sea and Arabian Gulf platforms respectively. The structural requirements of such packages are analyzed and the design considerations for a Warren Truss structured machinery module are outlined. Some of the problems associated with installing packaged aero-derivative gas turbine machinery in the extremely aggressive offshore environment are highlighted and preferred solutions are proposed.

In this work different concepts are investigated for combined heat and power production (CHP) from offshore gas turbines. Implementation of such technology could improve energy efficiency of offshore oil and gas production and lead to reduced fuel consumption and resulting CO2 emissions. Offshore electric power is in most cases generated by gas turbines operating in a simple cycle. However it would be desireable to increase energy efficiency by adding steam or CO2 bottoming cycles to produce power from the exhaust heat. However part of the heat from the gas turbine exhaust is normally used for onboard process heat for the oil/water separation process among others, this must be taken into consideration when estimating capacity for additional power production. Different CHP concepts will be evaluated at different operating conditions while running the turbines in both design and off-design mode The results show that it is possible to produce an additional 6–8 MW of electrical power from a 32 MW turbine (depending on the conditions) while using 15 MW of heat from the exhaust for on-board processing.

Offshore Operations

As onshore oil and gas deposits are becoming more difficult to locate, and as the world demands for energy continue to increase at an alarming rate, oil companies are channeling much of their exploration activities towards offshore operations, and in particular, towards operations centered off Canada's coast lines. Because of the environment, offshore drilling presents problems which are novel to the onshore-geared oil industry. J. M. Killey discusses in detail many of the considerations involved in drafting the offshore drilling contract, concentrating on problems such as the liability of the various parties; costs; scheduling; pollution; conflict of laws; etc. Similarly, he discusses service contracts (such as supply boat charters; towing services; helicopter services; etc.^ which are necessity to the operation of an offshore drilling rig. To complement his paper, the author has included number of appendices which list the various considerations lawyer must keep in mind when drafting contracts for offshore operations.
