How to Submit a Proposal
Subsea long tiebacks are set to become a major factor in the development of new oil and gas reserves in the 21st century. Subsea tiebacks provide a number of important benefits in the development of oil and gas fields. Because much of the infrastructure is already in place, projects can be fast tracked and brought into production much more quickly.
This Call for Proposals is the collective output of an ITF ‘Subsea Long Tiebacks’ Theme Day held in Aberdeen on 17 March 2009.
The Theme Day included an intensive, facilitated workshop which brought together experts from ITF membership, operators, service companies, small and medium-sized enterprises, and research and academia. This wide variety of attendees discussed the challenges faced within the area of ‘Subsea Long Tiebacks’, the output of these discussions has formed the basis of this Call for Proposals.
This is an open invitation to any organisation seeking sponsorship for innovative technologies in the oil and gas industry to submit proposals for research, development, and / or field trial in the following areas, associated with the identified needs of the Subsea Long Tiebacks theme:
- Multiphase Fluid Flow and Flow Assurance (especially hydrate management)
- Subsea Processing
- Subsea Electrical Power Supply and Distribution
- Control, Communication and Instrumentation
- Lower Cost Pipelines
- Information Management
Proposals must be submitted no later than Tuesday 30th June 2009. Appropriate contact details are available in the call document.
