Design Considerations of a Subsea Shuttle Tanker System for Liquid Carbon Dioxide Transportation

Subsea pipelines and umbilicals are used for the transportation of fluids and electrical power between subsea installations and floating production units (FPUs). The installation and maintenance of these systems can be expensive. In a conventional subsea field development, the produced fluids can be transported from the well to a FPU where they can be offloaded to a tanker (surface ship). In the case of carbon dioxide (CO2) injection into the...
