What is Process Technology ?
The branch of Engineering which is
concerned with processes in which
materials undergo a required
change in composition, energy
content or physical state at a
reasonable cost and in the safest
possible manner.
Johan Sverdrup field centre
RP DP
P1 LQ
The design capacity is 315,000 BOE/day (50,000 sm3/day)
Johan Sverdrup is expected to hold 1.8–2.9 billion barrels (290–460 million cubic meters) of oil
The platform will include between 40 and 50 risers and J-tubes.
The LQ topsides will include the actual living quarters with 450 cabins.

Chemical/Process Engineer
Chemical/process engineers concern themselves with the
chemical processes that turn raw materials into valuable
products.
The necessary skills encompass all aspects of design,
testing, scale-up, operation, control, and optimization,
and require a detailed understanding of the various
"unit operations", such as distillation, mixing, and
biological processes, which make these conversions
possible.
Chemical/Process engineering utilizes mass, momentum,
and energy transfer along with thermodynamics and
chemical kinetics to analyze and improve on these "unit
operations.
