Methodology

The front end phase is a unique opportunity to optimise the overall cost of the project
Our execution method provides a reliable decision base that is transparent, traceable,
and unbiased:■ Transparent
Aker Solutions use a staged process developed to accommodate the decisiongates of our clients. Close cooperation with our clients is a key success factor■ Traceable
As-built data from multiple sources within our organisation is systematically used as
basis for all estimation in any deliverable■ Unbiased
Front End Spectrum will recommend solutions that optimise the value for our clients© 2014 Aker Solutions

Subsea Gas Compression – the Benefits■ Gas fields require boosting of thereservoir flow as reservoir pressure
depletes■ Subsea gas compression replaces

the need for an offshore platform or
onshore compression facility■ Cost-efficient development solution(CAPEX)■ Reduced operational costs (OPEX)■ Advantageous to place thecompressor close to the well
■ Increased and accelerated

production■ Reducing CO2 emissions throughlower energy consumption■ No emissions or disposals to sea■ Safer due to unmanned operation© 2014 Aker Solutions

Semi with wellheads on the platform■ The motivations:■ Reach greater water depth beyond

TLP■ Carry larger facilities than Spar
■ Reduce cost vs TLP & Spar
■ Design principle:■ TTRs increase system stiffness■ Platform natural periods maintained

outside wave periods■ Two general categories:■ designs that focus on reducing theheave motions■ designs that focus on optimizing
