Abstract

The offshore oil industry holds the characteristics of high risk, investment and profit. Increasing attention has been paid to ensure that the production system possesses the capacity to perform its required functions as expected. Hence the performance and the reliability of the offshore production systems are important for the stakeholders from both the industry and public domains. The objective of our study is to perform the production availability analysis of the FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) system. The FPSO system is employed for processing and provisionally storing the crude oil from the offshore production platforms or the subsea oil wells directly. The oil inside the FPSO cargo tank is transferred to the shuttle tankers periodically. We selected Stochastic Petri Nets (SPN) as the modeling tool in this study because they are naturally suitable for the performance evaluation and availability analysis.
