Having defined and gathered data adequate for an initial reserves estimation, the next step is to look at the various options to develop the field. The objective of the feasibility study is to document various technical options, of which at least one should be economically viable. The study will contain the subsurface development options, the process design, equipment sizes, the proposed locations (e.g. offshore platforms), and the crude evacuation and export system. The cases considered will be accompanied by a cost estimate and planning schedule. Such a document gives a complete overview of all the requirements, opportunities, risks and constraints. 

The first chapter provides an overview of process design strategies. Fundamental definitions and a brief review of preparing process flow plans are included. 

Overviews of batch process design are available within the literature [35, 36] however, it is useful to summarize the main features when considering the arguments for B2C. A batch process is one where the individual steps of the manufacturing cycle are carried out in discrete intervals, resulting in frequent start-up and shutdown of the unit operahons involved. Thus, a scheme that requires...

Table 8.1 gives an overview of structural and operational measures that affect the type and course of the in-sewer dry-weather processes. The table exemplifies how process design and operation of sewer networks can be implemented. In other words, it is an overview of methods for wastewater design. ...
