11- Conclusions
In the nineteen seventies to nineties when
the price of oil was low and in the range of
10 to 12 dollars for a period, these were the
prices below which the development of
offshore fields in even shallow waters of the
North Sea were uneconomical!.
The world energy situation has since
changed dramatically and oil and gas are
highly valued and rapidly depleting sources
of energy. The information available from
many parts of the world shows that in some
countries they still flare a substantial volume
of gas because saving and using gas
requires a substantial initial capital
investment.
In the case of oil fields, many fields are
allowed to suffer from restricted production
because the operators do not wish to use
new techniques and solutions which they

offers
many
advantages such as; added simplicity and
ease of operation. It is therefore a relatively
low risk system for those who have not had
any experience of this system in their fields.
It is therefore highly recommended to
assess the availability of the sources of
