Mikroplattform
Mikroplattform, or micro platform, is a term used in offshore oil and gas engineering to describe a small, compact offshore production facility designed for developing marginal or small fields. The concept focuses on minimizing capital expenditure and construction time while providing essential processing and production support, often in environments where larger platforms would be uneconomical.
A mikroplattform typically features a compact topside module mounted on a fixed or floating support structure.
In operation, mikroplattformen are frequently tied back to a nearby processing facility or export system via
Advantages of mikroplattformen include lower capital expenditures, shorter project timelines, reduced environmental footprint, and improved suitability
