I’m checking a resource uplift assumption and recall a deepwater facility that deployed seabed separation and multiphase pumps around 2010 in Alaminos Canyon, cutting drawdown limits and adding double-digit MMbbl to EUR. Does anyone remember if that was Perdido, and what net production gain (kbopd) was credited to the system?
But yes, Perdido; uplift cited about 10–15 kbopd from ‘seabed separation’: Perdido (oil platform) - Wikipedia?
Perdido in 2010, Alaminos Canyon; Framo multiphase boosting. @simonP56 Shell cited about 12 kbopd uplift, tapering as water cut rose.
That boost definitely made a difference in performance. It’s fascinating how multiphase pumps shifted production strategies! Curious if newer technologies are being tested now?
