Abstract

Bušenje i proizvodnja ugljikovodika u Arktiku bitno se razlikuju od one u drugim područjima zbog polarne klime i uvjeta koji ondje vladaju, te velike udaljenosti i zabrinutosti za zaštitu okoliša. Unatoč svim izazovima koji se javljaju kod operacija na Arktiku, one se mogu izvoditi na siguran, efikasan i ekološki prihvatljiv način. U ovom radu su opisane aktivnosti i tehnologije koje se koriste tijekom bušenja, proizvodnje i izgradnje cjevovoda na kopnu i moru. Također su navedeni primjeri postojećih projekata u zemljama Arktika. Plovni period na Arktiku često je vrlo kratak i opasan zbog plutajućih santi leda zbog čega se javila potreba za prilagodbom postojećih i razvojem novih postrojenja za bušenje i proizvodnju ugljikovodika. Operacije izgradnje cjevovoda na moru mogu se obavljati tijekom plovnog perioda, ali i tijekom zime sa zaleđenih morskih površina.

Abstract (english)

Hydrocarbon drilling and production operations in the Arctic are significantly different in comparison to other areas due to the extreme climate and conditions, as well as the great distance and environmental concerns. Despite a variety of challenges that occur in Arctic operations, they can be performed in a safe, efficient and environmentally friendly way. This thesis describes activities and technologies used during onshore and offshore drilling, production and pipeline construction. Examples of existing projects in Arctic countries are also provided. The open water season in the Arctic is often very short and operations are risky due to floating icebergs, which led to the need to adapt the existing and develop new facilities for hydrocarbon drilling and production. Offshore pipeline construction operations can be performed during the open water season, but also during the winter from the frozen sea surface.
