Russian experience in the design of trunk pipelines and Arctic studies have been used to develop an efficient model and method for Arctic field development design using the subsea production system (SPS). Compared to 2D models used in the past, the new design technique offers an opportunity to make 3D models and can be used for optimization of offshore field development projects. The proposed optimization model is based on the Bellman - Ford algorithm developed for 3D networks. This approach has been used for the first time to capture key features and specific subsea production system design processes. The algorithm and block diagrams developed for the proposed SPS design method is universal. This method can be used to address tasks of a more general nature. Optimization of the particular case between a single start point (well location) and single end point (SPS facility) is implemented as a separate software package, but the scope of applications is not limited by such cases and may be extended even further. It can also be very efficient for Arctic subsea field development.
