Abstract: |
There is a
growing demand for systems to store the excess gas produced by the offshore
industry, especially gases rich in CO2. The geological composition of the
Santos Basin in Brazil and the location of the production platforms make it
plausible to build caves in the salt layer for this purpose. A system engineering model based on Epoch-Era analyses was
employed to analyze the possible solutions to the problem aiming at the
conceptual design stage. The system was decomposed and described in means of
its several components and subsystems. Some of the most important decisions
to be made have been outlined. An estimate of the utility and costs involved
was obtained for each epoch. The utility was calculated based on the
attributes of each solution and the relevance of each attribute to the
stakeholders. An analysis of the solutions tradespace
was carried out from the utility and cost estimates to discuss the best
alternatives. Also, a three-dimensional web-based simulation model was
implemented to provide a more realistic picture of the system's operation. |
