Abstract

Abstract: Deepwater oilfield exploration and development has become the focus of attention since the start of the 21st century. China is relatively late for its deepwater development. As compared to international oil majors, Chinese companies are left behind in terms of technology and equipment. Subsea processing technology – the frontier technology for deepwater oilfield development - has a series of advantages, such as increasing production, improving subsea piped transmission state, eliminating the bottlenecks in the processing amount of upper facility, reducing investment, and promoting safety and environmental protection. Subsea processing includes separation of gas and liquid, separation of oil and water, and underwater plant. The paper points out that the integrated subsea processing system will be the development direction in the future.

摘要： 进入21 世纪深水油田勘探开发逐渐成为热点，我国深水开发起步较晚，在技术和装备上与国际石油巨头相比存在很大差距。深水油田开发中的前沿技术——水下处理技术具有可增加产量、改善水下管输流动状态、消除上部设施处理量瓶颈、减少投资、安全环保等优势，水下处理现包括气液分离、油水分离、水下工厂等技术与装置，指出建立水下工厂综合处理系统将是未来的发展方向。
