Alabaster

The Alabaster development consists of subsea production wells connected via flowlines and umbilicals to a host floating production unit. Wells are drilled using subsea trees and tied into a manifold system, allowing commingled production. Produced fluids are transported through insulated flowlines to the host facility, where separation into oil, gas, and water occurs. Gas is compressed and either exported via pipeline or reinjected, depending on system configuration, while oil is stabilized and exported through existing pipeline networks. The subsea system includes control umbilicals supplying hydraulic power, chemical injection, and communication signals from the host platform. Flow assurance measures such as insulation and chemical injection mitigate hydrate and wax formation. Power and control are provided remotely, eliminating the need for topside facilities. The development leverages existing export pipelines and processing capacity, minimizing new infrastructure.
