Abstract
This paper presents a study that compares operative results for three technological alternatives to produce electricity and compress gas in offshore crude oil processing facilities to be installed in Mexico. The comparison of alternatives is made based on system reliability estimations by using the "reliability block diagram" method. The fundamental concepts of the systems reliability theory are pointed out, and the reliability model is defined as a parallel arrangement with redundancy in passive reserve and without maintenance for any component. Likewise, the alternatives, and the analyzed operative scenarios are described, including the block diagrams and reliability results for each option. The results of the study show that using electrical motors to compress gas and internal combustion engines to produce electricity is more reliable than using gas turbines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
