INTRODUCTION
• Word definitions
• The main purpose of construction
Oil & gas, lantern, fishing, recreation
• Cost balance & capital recovery

• History of offshore platforms
• Offshore platforms different types
• Gas & oil fields in Persian Golf
Cost Balance and Capital
investment Recovery
 Construction cost of typical fixed offshore
platform including installation: 600,000,000 $
 Price of each barrel assume to be: 120 $

 Capacity of normal oil field: 200,000 barrel/day
 Income from AM oil field:
200,000 x 120 = 24,000,000 $/day
Cost recovery for typical offshore platform =

600/24 = 25 day say 30 days

Conclusion
 Offshore platform design and construction is a symbol

of team work.
 It shows the powers of partnership.
 Offshore platform means creativity in decision variety in

design and flexibility in changes.
 The reservoir volume of oil and gas are limited. So the

priority is:
“Investment on resources”
 Thinking to future and commitment to next generation.
