For end of field life or economically stranded small pool assets, this concept provides a simple offshore production system with first stage reservoir fluid conditioning to remove the gas from the fluid stream. The gas is subsequently used as fuel to power onboard electrical generators with any excess being vented to atmosphere. The separated liquids (oil and water) are stored in a seabed storage anchor base for periodic offloading and export by shuttle tanker.
