SURF Systems

TECNOCONSULT has extensive expertise in the engineering design of subsea systems for the development of deepwater offshore fields, including Umbilicals, Risers, Flowlines, Manifolds, and Tie-In systems.

Major Oil Companies are increasingly investing in more complex fields characterized by extreme environmental conditions and advanced technological requirements, particularly in Deep Water and Ultra Deep Water developments.

Deepwater offshore fields require the use of innovative technologies such as flexible pipes, dynamic risers, umbilicals, diverless systems, and new types of floating production facilities including SPAR, TLP, FPSO, FPU, and FPO.

Having been actively involved for many years in the development of Deepwater technologies and projects, Tecnoconsult has built an extensive technical database containing the key characteristics of SURF system components.

The company is capable of designing complete subsea systems for the development of deepwater offshore fields, offering a wide range of specialist services including flowline routing selection, on-bottom stability analysis, In-Place Analysis, Installation Analysis, and dynamic interaction studies.

Tecnoconsult also performs riser concept selection studies (Lazy Wave, Steep Wave, Free Hanging, Tower, etc.), dynamic interference analyses between pipelines and mooring systems, as well as preliminary sizing of riser ancillary components such as Bend Stiffeners, Bend Restrictors, and Buoyancy Modules.

Engineering activities also include the preparation of technical specifications for risers and flowlines, Material Take-Off (MTO), geohazard studies, crossing design, cost estimation support, and offshore installation planning.

Tecnoconsult also provides support in the preparation of ITT documentation, tender assistance, vendor follow-up, and technical support during project meetings and design reviews.
