Design and Conversion of FPSO Mystras

Offshore Technology Conference, 2004
Abstract A recently completed FPSO conversion project shows some novel features in FPSO design. An existing trading tanker was selected for conversion into a 48,000-bopd FPSO unit, for a site offshore Nigeria in a water depth of 70 meters. While engineering of the FPSO was already underway it was discovered that the

Efficient FPSO Redeployment

Offshore Technology Conference
Abstract This paper discusses the alternative FPSO redeployment approach adopted for Atlanta Field, offshore Brazil, describing its main naval and topsides modifications, which includes several initiatives to reduce carbon emissions. Atlanta field is located in Santos Basin, approximately 185km offshore from Niteroi City, Rio de Janeiro ...

Disconnectable Concrete Spar FPSO

Arctic Technology Conference, 2016
Abstract A floating platform in deep water Eastern Canada is required to withstand iceberg loads and/or be disconnected and towed away only in the event of very large approaching icebergs, leaving the mooring lines and risers in-place, support large topsides and provide large quantities of oil storage in the hull.

Response of FPSO Systems to Squalls

Volume 3: Materials Technology; Jan Vugts Symposium on Design Methodology of Offshore Structures; Jo Pinkster Symposium on Second Order Wave Drift Forces on Floating Structures; Johan Wichers Symposium on Mooring of Floating Structures in Waves, 2011
Squalls are mesoscale sudden wind-speed increases that can occur worldwide and are a design driver for FPSO systems in areas the other design environmental conditions are relatively benign, e.g. offshore West Africa. Squalls are transient winds which rapidly reach a peak wind speed (up to 50 m/s) and then decay to low speeds in a span of 60 to 90 ...

Development of a FPSO Motion Simulator

Volume 7: Ocean Engineering, 2015
This paper presents the development of a motion simulator for a moored FPSO, which includes numerical prediction of the FPSO motions in wind, waves and current. It also presents the resulting mooring line tension, 3-dimensional visualization of the FPSO motion, and summary analysis of the resulting motion parameters.

FPSO Operations on Dynamic Positioning

Volume 3: Materials Technology; Jan Vugts Symposium on Design Methodology of Offshore Structures; Jo Pinkster Symposium on Second Order Wave Drift Forces on Floating Structures; Johan Wichers Symposium on Mooring of Floating Structures in Waves, 2011
As of March 2010, Bluewater’s FPSO Munin has been operating on Dynamic Positioning (DP) in the South China Sea. The station keeping is performed by the vessel’s DP system only; no anchor leg mooring is used. Offloading from the FPSO is done to conventional (non-DP) shuttle tankers. See Fig. 1. This means that the DP system has to deal with a relatively

Managing integrity of operating FPSOs

The APPEA Journal, 2017
The last few years have been challenging ones for the oil and gas industry with a significant drop in oil price. At the same time ageing facilities and a more dynamic market have been driving the need for becoming more efficient in the way we do our business, i.e. business as usual is not enough anymore.

FPSO Standards and Recommended Practices

Offshore Technology Conference, 2001
Abstract The oil and gas production industry has expressed an interest in being able to utilize Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units as a development option in the deepwater areas of the United States (U.S.) Gulf of Mexico (GOM) outer continental shelf (OCS).

Design Considerations of Arctic FPSOs

SNAME 10th International Conference and Exhibition on Performance of Ships and Structures in Ice, 2012
FPSO (Floating Production Storage Offloading) vessels are ideally suited for development of remote-region projects because tankers and onsite storage are needed to transport crude oil to markets. Therefore, an FPSO offers an attractive development solution to deepwater fields in the Arctic where fixed platforms are not feasible from either technical or
