As carbon capture and storage projects progress towards delivery, operators are increasingly looking to maximise the value of existing offshore assets. When a major North Sea operator needed a new CCS topside to integrate with a legacy jacket, Aquaterra Energy delivered a value-engineered solution that reduced weight, simplified systems and improved operability, while maintaining full compatibility with the existing infrastructure and providing a clear pathway into FEED.

Download the full case study to learn how we:

  • Optimised a new CCS topside design within the constraints of an existing jacket, avoiding the need for structural modification.
  • Reduced topside weight, footprint and system complexity while maintaining structural integrity and functionality.
  • Lowered electrical demand through targeted value engineering, supporting a more efficient renewable power strategy.
  • Improved access, maintainability and operability through intelligent equipment layout and system simplification.
  • Delivered a de-risked pathway into FEED with a robust Class 3 cost estimate and reduced schedule uncertainty.
