Subsea processing requires installing a processing facility on the seabed, which provides a variety of benefits for hydrocarbon production. The building blocks of a subsea processing system (SPRS) comprise the subsea separation/treatment system, subsea boosting system, subsea (re-)injection system, subsea power transmission and distribution system, and subsea monitoring and control system. Typically, an SPRS will at a minimum
The latest innovation in manufacturing, additive manufacturing (AM), is the fabrication of a part by adding material layer by layer. AM technologies can reshape the way parts are designed and constructed.
