STRATEGY AND VISION
E&C OFFSHORE – STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY TARGETS
INNOVATION for GLOBAL SOLUTIONS
THE SUBSEA-TO-SHORE LONG TERM VISION
Moving Topside Operations onto Seabed
- Moving Subsea is a Key for Cost Reduction
- Technology Innovation to Enable Seabed Production Operations
THE SUBSEA-TO-SHORE LONG TERM VISION
Opportunities & Challenges
Cost Reduction through Novel Field Development Schemes based on:
- Longer Tie-backs to Onshore Receiving Facilities or to Existing Floating Hubs with Simplified Gathering and Transportation Systems
- Assurance of Production Delivery over Longer Distances
- No In-Field Surface Support for Auxiliary Functions
- Smarter Subsea Systems for Reduced Communication to/from Shore
- SPS URF Integration, Standardization of Interfaces and Open Framework Strategy

CLOSING REMARKS
CLOSING REMARKS
- New field architectures that combine different "building blocks", some new and some existing
- To provide new added values to Clients, as the reduction of CAPEX and/or OPEX costs
- Early engagement with Clients is the way to exploit all the potential of such as architectures
