The Development of a Single-Well Oil Production System
Abstract
Since early 1980, BP has been developing the conceptual design of a Single-Well Oil Production System or Swops. This paper outlines the concept and discusses the design and the operational criteria that have been applied in this early work. It further examines some of the innovative areas of technology that have been included in this new approach and outlines the work of the detail design phase, which has just started.
