C2. Functional Requirements of FPSO
1 like698 views
The document discusses the functional requirements and design considerations for floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) systems, including how vessel motions, weather, layout, and processing capacity can influence an FPSO's operations. It provides examples of the Greater Plutonio and Falcon FPSOs and outlines the typical decommissioning process for offshore platforms. FPSO selection and design is influenced by criteria like water depth, weather limits, and processing needs of the field being developed.

- 3. Official Open 1. Determine the Evaluating Criterion for Floating Platform Selection - Floater system - Newbuild or Conversion
- 4. Official Open Influences on Processing Capability • Vessel Motions • Weather • Layout • Processing Capacity and Storage
- 5. Official Open Vessel Motion • Vessel motion affect the operation of process systems on board, e.g. – the separator – units that operate by spraying – rotating equipment
- 6. Official Open Weather • Floating installations are affected by weather – Under extreme weather conditions, production may have to be shut down as a safety measure – Offloading by shuttle tanker may be interrupted by extreme weather
- 7. Official Open Layout • Limited deck area on FPS will affect layout • Need for clear separation of hazardous and benign systems • Accommodation and critical functions to be away from hazardous locations • Multi-deck arrangement may be necessary for semi, SPAR or TLP
- 8. Official Open Processing Capability and Storage • Early FPSO process 15,000 bopd, now up to 200,000 bopd. • Storage of processed crude on board can reach 2,000,000 barrels on a single FPSO • The trend is towards deeper waters, larger capacities facilitated by improved technology
