![]() This paper aims at comparing two methodologies to design an air bottoming cycle recovering the waste heat from the power generation system on the Draugen off-shore oil and gas platform. The worst-case scenario sees a peak in 2008 and the best-case scenario, following a 1.4 % demand growth, peaks in 2018ĭesign and optimization of air bottoming cycles for waste heat recovery in off-shore platforms In all scenarios, peak oil occurs at about the same time as the giant fields peak. The results, in combination with forecasts on new field developments, heavy oil and oil sand, are used to predict future oil production. A model, based on past annual production and URR, has been developed to forecast future production from giant fields. The domination of giant fields in global oil production confirms a concept where they govern future production. A large number of the largest giant fields are found in the countries surrounding the Persian Gulf. However, giant fields are something of the past since a majority of the largest giant fields are over 50 years old and the discovery trend of less giant fields with smaller volumes is clear. Their contribution is striking: over 60 % of the 2005 production and about 65 % of the global ultimate recoverable reserve (URR). Only 507, or 1 % of the total number of fields, are giants. A giant oil field contains at least 500 million barrels of recoverable oil. Instead, giant oil fields, the largest oil fields in the world, can be used as a parameter. However, the reliability of the oil price as a single parameter can be questioned, as earlier times of high prices have occurred without having anything to do with a lack of oil. The belief in a soon peak production of oil is fueled by increasing oil prices. Since future oil demand is expected to increase, the question to what extent future production will be available is important. The cheap supply of oil has been the engine for economic growth in the western world. Since the 1950s, oil has been the dominant source of energy in the world.

The total energy demand is moderately sensitive to daily and monthly variations: it ranges between 22 and 30 MW, of which 18-26 MW and about 3-4 MW are in electrical and thermal energy forms. In this paper, the processing plant of the Draugen platform is evaluated by performing an energy and exergy. Oil and gas processing on offshore platforms operates under changing boundary conditions over a field lifespan, as the hydrocarbon production declines and the water extraction increases.

The pair of lonely characters spend several days poking around, getting scared by doors slamming, and feeling like they might be being watched. Was it supernatural? A curse? Did everyone die? Leave? Vanish? Turn into pebbles, as Alice theorises? There are no real puzzles to solve, apart from piecing together what you think happened. If that doesn't put you off, then know that Draugen is a slow, spooky, sad game where you gradually uncover the eventual fate of Graavik. I'll say up front that there's a twist (which you may well see coming) to Draugen which is incredibly spoilery, but which might put you off playing the game entirely - and that would be fair. Things, predictably, aren't what they seem. She's the teenage ward of bookish American nerd Edward, and he's dragged her half way across the world to Graavik to find his missing sister Betty. It's also got a character called Alice in it, which is a good sign. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time.ĭraugen is described as a "fjord noir", a story-heavy mystery set in an isolated (in fact, abandoned) town in 1920s Norway.
