History

Oil has been produced from offshore locations since the late 1940s. Originally, all oilplatforms sat on the seabed, but as exploration moved to deeper waters and more distantlocations in the 1970s, floating production systems came to be used.

The first oil FPSO was the Shell Castellon, built in Spain in 1977. Today, over 200 vesselsare deployed worldwide as oil FPSOs.

In addition to the significant growth of this market sector, we are witnessing today theprogressive extension of the significant knowledge base of building and operating thesefloating facilities to provide solutions for other segments of the oil and gas industry.

As an example, the Sanha LPG FPSO, which operates offshore Angola, is the first such vessel with complete onboard liquefiedpetroleum gas processing and export facilities. It can store up to 135,000 cubic meters of LPG while awaiting export tankers foroffloading.[1]

Another very promising expansion is the progressive development of the floating LNG (FLNG) market. An LNG FPSO worksunder the same principles an oil FPSO works under, taking the well stream and separating out the natural gas (primarily methaneand ethane) and producing LNG, which is stored and offloaded.

On July 29, 2009, Shell and Samsung announced an agreement to build up to 10 LNG FPSOs:[2]

Flex LNG has four contracts for smaller units at the same yard.[3]

As a very significant and momentous event, on May 20, 2011, Royal Dutch Shell announced the planned development of a FloatingLiquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facility, which will be situated 200 km off the coast of Western Australia and is due for completionin around 2017.[4] When it is finished, this will be the largest floating offshore facility. It will measure around 488m long and 74mwide, and when fully ballasted will weigh 600,000 tonnes.[5] It will have a total storage capacity of 436,000 cubic metres of LNG,plus LPG condensate.

At the opposite (discharge and regasification) end of the LNG chain, the first ever conversion of an LNG carrier (Golar LNG ownedMoss type LNG carrier) into an LNG floating storage and regasification unit was carried out in 2007 by Keppel shipyard inSingapore.[6]

Mechanisms

Oil produced from offshore production platformscan be transported to the mainland either bypipeline or by tanker. When a tanker is chosen totransport the oil, it is necessary to accumulate oilin some form of storage tank such that the oiltanker is not continuously occupied during oilproduction, and is only needed once sufficient oilhas been produced to fill the tanker. At this pointthe transport tanker connects to the stern of thestorage unit and offloads oil.[citation needed]

Advantages

Floating production, storage and offloadingvessels are particularly effective in remote ordeepwater locations where seabed pipelines arenot cost effective. FPSOs eliminate the need tolay expensive long-distance pipelines from theprocessing facility to an onshore terminal. This can provide an economically attractive solution for smaller oil fields which can beexhausted in a few years and do not justify the expense of installing a pipeline. Furthermore, once the field is depleted, the FPSOcan be moved to a new location.[citation needed]

Specific types

A floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) is essentially a simplified FPSO without the capability for oil or gas processing.Most FSOs are converted single hull supertankers. An example is Knock Nevis, ex Seawise Giant, for many years the world's largestship, which has been converted to an FSO for use offshore Qatar.[citation needed]

At the other end of the LNG logistics chain, where the natural gas is brought back to ambient temperature and pressure, speciallymodified ships may also be used as floating storage and regasification units (FSRUs). A LNG floating storage and regasificationunit receives liquefied natural gas (LNG) from offloading LNG carriers, and the onboard regasification system provides natural gasexported to shore through risers and pipelines.

Mooring systems for FSO, FPSO & FSU units are available in market which allow the vessel to be moored on a ice sheet.[citation needed]

Vessels

Records

The FPSO operating in the deepest waters is the FPSO BW Pioneer, built and operated byBW Offshore on behalf of Petrobras Americas INC. The FPSO is moored at a depth of 2,600m in Block 249 Walker Ridge in the US Gulf of Mexico and is rated for 100,000 bbl/d(16,000 m3/d). The EPCI contract was awarded in October 2007, and production started inearly 2012. The FPSO conversion was carried out at Keppel Shipyard Tuas in Singapore,while the topsides were fabricated in modules at various international vendor locations. TheFPSO has a disconnectable turret (APL). The vessel can disconnect in advance of hurricanesand reconnect with minimal down time.[citation needed]

One of the world's largest FPSO is the Kizomba A, with a storage capacity of 2.2 millionbarrels (350,000 m3). Built at a cost of over US$800 million by Hyundai Heavy Industries inUlsan, Korea, it is operated by Esso Exploration Angola (ExxonMobil). Located in 1200meters (3,940 ft) of water at Deepwater block 200 statute miles (320 km) offshore in theAtlantic Ocean from Angola, Central Africa, it weighs 81,000 tonnes and is 285 meters long, 63 meters wide, and 32 meters high(935 ft by 207 ft (63 m) by 105 ft).[7]

The first FSO in the Gulf of Mexico, The FSO Ta'Kuntah, has been in operation since August 1998. The FSO, owned and operatedby MODEC, is under a service agreement with PEMEX Exploration and Production. The FSO Ta'Kuntah was installed as part ofthe Cantarell Field Development. The field is located in the Bay of Campeche, offshore Mexico's Yucatán peninsula. The FSOTa'Kuntah is a converted ULCC tanker with a SOFEC external turret mooring system, two flexible risers connected in a lazy-S

configuration between the turret and a pipeline end manifold (PLEM) on the seabed, and a unique offloading system. The FSO isdesigned to handle 800,000 bbl/d (130,000 m3/d) with no allowance for downtime.[8]

One of the world's smallest FPSO is the Crystal Ocean, operating in 137 m of water in the Bass Strait between Australia andTasmania on the Basker Manta Field. It is leased by Roc Oil (Sydney-based international petroleum exploration and productioncompany) from Rubicon Offshore and is operated on their behalf by AGR Asia Pacific; it is currently producing 5,000 bbl/d(790 m3/d).[citation needed]

The FPSO in the shallowest water depth of just 13 m is the Armada Perkasa in the Okoro field in Nigeria, West Africa, for AfrenEnergy. This spread moored (fixed orientation) vessel uses 100 mm, 150 mm and 200 mm bore DeepFlex non-steel flexible risers ina double lazy wave formation (with weights and distributed buoyancy) to accommodate the large motion offsets in an environmentof extreme waves and currents.[citation needed]

The Skarv FPSO, developed and engineered by Aker Solutions for BP Norge, will be the most advanced and largest FPSOdeployed in the Norwegian Sea, offshore Mid Norway. Skarv is a gas condensate and oil field development. The development willtie in five sub-sea templates, and the FPSO has capacity to include several smaller wells nearby in the future. The process plant onthe vessel can handle about 19,000,000 cubic metres per day (670,000,000 cu ft/d) of gas and 13,500 cubic metres per day(480,000 cu ft/d).[9] An 80 km gas export pipe will tie in to Åsgard transport system. Aker Solutions (formerly Aker Kvaerner)developed the front-end design for the new floating production facility as well as the overall system design for the field andpreparation for procurement and project management of the total field development.[10] The hull is an Aker Solutions proprietary"Tentechtm975" design.[11] BP also selected Aker Solutions to perform the detail engineering, procurement and constructionmanagement assistance (EPcma) for the Skarv field development. The EPcma contract covers detail engineering and procurementwork for the FPSO topsides as well as construction management assistance to BP including hull and topside facilities. Theproduction start for the field is scheduled for August 2011.[12] BP awarded the contract for fabrication of the Skarv FPSO hull toSamsung Heavy Industries in South Korea and the Turret contract to SBM. The FPSO has a length of 292m, breadth of 50.6m andis 29m deep and accommodate 100 people in single cabins. The hull will be delivered in January 2010.[10]
