The origination of the Design Basis document for subsea production systems (SPS) in the oil industry is a challenging task. The completeness and correctness of the Design Basis is crucial for the successful execution of the project in safety, technical and commercial terms. This work aims to establish, through the use of Systems Engineering and specifically throughInformation Models (Model Based Systems Engineering), how the Subsea Production System Design Basis should be optimally developed. The MBSE is integrated in this work by the theory of Transactional Processing, which is implicit in the universal thought process when behavioural models are drafted but seldom explicitly referred to. The current industry practice for developing an SPS design basis is compared to the suggested optimal process. The work constitutes the foundation for the revised Design Basis issuing procedure and the Design Review practice for the Aker Solutions worldwide subsea business. This work is part of a PhD at the Norwegian Technology and Science University.
