A generator unit of a system for generating electrical power includes a generator coupled to a turbine. A flowline coupled to the generator unit conveys a fluid to an inlet of the turbine. A second flowline couples an outlet of the turbine and a tree of a well at a wellsite. The second flowline conveys the fluid from the outlet to the tree.

Systems and methods for electrical power generation

A system includes a subsea power system. The subsea power system includes a bus. A plurality of energy storage units is coupled to the bus at a plurality of positions distributed throughout the subsea power system. The subsea power system also includes a controller. The controller includes a memory, a processor, and instructions stored on the memory and executable by the processor. The processor is configured to control the subsea power system to selectively discharge a first energy storage unit of the plurality of energy storage units over the bus to supply power to a first electrical actuator of a plurality of electrical actuators. The processor is also configured to control the subsea power system to selectively charge a second energy storage unit of the plurality of energy storage units over the bus via power from a power supply.

Subsea power bus system

A subsea production system may include a subsea tree that includes a first valve to control a flow of reservoir fluid through the subsea tree and a second valve to control the flow of the reservoir fluid through the subsea tree. The subsea production system may also include a bus system having multiple control modules that generate control signals to operate the first valve and the second valve. The bus system may also include a first electric bus that provides the control signals from a first control module to the first valve, a second electric bus that provides the control signals from a second control module to the second valve, and a third electric bus that provides the control signals from a third control module to the first valve and the second valve.

Electric actuator bus system

A method of modeling effects of operational procedures during startup of a fluid production or injection system at a field includes determining initial conditions of the field at a first time based on field measurements of the field. The method also includes simulating startups of the fluid production or injection system based on the initial conditions. The method further includes determining operational procedures for starting up the fluid production or injection system based on the simulated startups. The method also includes determining whether a startup command has been received. The method further includes sending instructions to startup the fluid production or injection system using the operational procedures when the startup command is received.
