Zusammenfassung:This work presents an analytical methodology for selecting the most economical mix of drivers for large mechanical load and power generation for offshore production in the Gulf of Mexico. These method accounts for CAPEX, life-cycle costs and the effect of emissions and production availability in the selection of drivers and associated equipment. Result of driver studies have shown that all electric designs are viable on floating platforms in the Gulf of Mexico.
