Design and Conversion of FPSO Mystras
Offshore Technology Conference, 2004Abstract 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

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, 2016Abstract 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.

Development of a FPSO Motion Simulator
Volume 7: Ocean Engineering, 2015This 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.

Thruster and FPSO Hull Interaction
Volume 8B: Ocean Engineering, 2014A hybrid method which couples a Vortex-Lattice Method (VLM) solver and a Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver is applied to simulate the interaction between a Dynamic Positioning (DP) thruster and an FPSO hull. The hybrid method could significantly reduce the number of cells to fifth of that in a full blown RANS simulation and thus greatly ...

Managing integrity of operating FPSOs
The APPEA Journal, 2017The 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.

CO2 – Green Refrigeration for FPSOs
Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition & Conference, 2020Abstract FPSOs usually require refrigeration, for removal of condensates and/or water before export of produced gas, or for treatment of gas to be used on board as fuel gas. This paper describes on-board refrigeration using a new combination of different concepts, none of which individually are new, to deliver refrigeration for FPSOs ...

Dimensional Study for Brazilian FPSO
24th International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering: Volume 1, Parts A and B, 2005After the boom of converted floating, production, storage and offloading systems, based on the old VLCC design, many engineering institutes started thinking about optimum dimension for new units. However, these new FPSOs designs carried out worldwide concerns about good seakeeping behavior when considering general weather conditions, in order to apply ...

Design Considerations of Arctic FPSOs
SNAME 10th International Conference and Exhibition on Performance of Ships and Structures in Ice, 2012FPSO (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
