 Setting the Scene -Why DP ?

¾ Station keeping by dynamic positioning is independent of water depth

¾ The deeper the water the more competitive is Dynamic Positioning

¾ Easily deployable and easily re-deployable to new locations

¾ Dynamic Positioning systems have proved very favourable in subsea

construction, drilling and shuttle tanker segments

¾ 20 years successful experience with Seillean DP FPSO in UK and Brazil

Key technology element allowing tie-in of multiple risers

¾ The DRBTM is developed & owned jointly by

FPSOcean & Scana

¾ An internal turret with an active turning drive

controled by the vessel ICS/heading control.

¾ A multipath riser connector with built-in ESD ball

valves.

¾ A 5-path fluid toroid swivel + multipath hydraulic

swivel and electric swivel.

¾ Quick dis-connect for operational safety

¾ Dis-connected DRBTM stabilised in ≈40 m below

surface

Dual Fuel Power Generation Storage and Offloading

Disconnectable Riser System Multiwell Production

Dynamic Positioning
 Design Philosophy & Drivers
¾ Design Class
¾ DNV DYNPOS AUTR (corresponding to IMO DP Class 2)

¾ Utilise a combination of new thrusters and existing ship

propulsion.

¾ Centre moonpool – DP operation similar to a drillship.

¾ Environmental design condition

¾ Chosen generic benchmark for station keeping capability was
Petrobras design requirements for the PIPA 2 project.

¾ Riser Solution/maximum allowable offset

¾ Flexibility

¾ Roubustness

14
 DP System Overview
¾ Kongsberg Maritime DP control system
to IMO class 2 (DNV DYNPOS AUTR).

¾ DP system controls four Schottel

azimuth thrusters, existing main engine
with controllable pitch propeller and
rudder and one forward tunnel thruster

¾ In normal weather conditions (up to 5

meters significant wave height) the
vessel operates with main engine shut
down.

¾ The DP system is designed to operate in

more than 6 meters Hs , and in more
than 3.5 meters Hs with offloading
tanker in taut hawser mode.

15
 Propulsion

¾ Existing Propulsion System

(Laurita was a DP1 shuttle
tanker)
¾ Main Engine Mitsui B & W 6L 80
GFC 15800 bhp with
controllable pitch propella
¾ 1 off bow thruster Rolls Royce
1400 Kw

¾ New propulsion
¾ 4 off Schottel Type SRP 4040
LSU FP 3,8 MW azimuth
thrusters

16
 Specification – Power Generation

¾ Shaft alt 1 x 1688 KW (existing)

¾ 2 off Siemens SGT 500 17 MW dual fuel gas turbine generators

¾ In normal operations, the gas turbines are fired by associated gas

from the produced oil. In case of process or gas compression
shutdown, the gas turbines will switch to MDO within one minute
without loss of power. Heavy fuel oil (HFO) operation is optional.

17
 Siemens SGT 500
Robust dual fuel Gas Turbine power generation
¾ Proven design with high availability and reliability

¾ Industrial light weight turbine

¾ Low maintenance and operation cost

¾ Nominally 5 years between overhauls

¾ Fuel flexibility

¾ Gas, marine diesel and heavy fuel oil and crude

¾ Offshore rack-record:
¾ FPSO Petrojarl Banff
¾ FPSO Leadon
¾ Shell Draugen
¾ BP Ula / Andrew

18
Utility Systems

All in accordance with DP 2 requirements

¾ Seawater Cooling
.
¾ 2 off seachests, 3 x 50% pumps and heat exchangers

¾ Freshwater Cooling
¾ 3 x 50% pumps, full changeover flexibility on all consumers
(thrusters and GTs).

¾ Fuel Gas Supply

¾ Supply from single gas compression unit and accumulator.

¾ Fuel Oil supply

¾ Automatic changeover to MDO in 1 minute. Redundant fuel supply
systems from settling tank.

 Operations - Heading Control
¾ The ship will maintain a heading selected to achieve an optimum combination of:
¾ Minimizing thrust/power requirements.
¾ Minimizing FPSO roll.
¾ Avoiding flare fumes in accommodation/bridge areas.

¾ Flare tower and IG vent riser are both located on the starboard side of the
forecastle. Normally, the FPSO will be operated with the wind on the port bow, to
allow exhaust fumes and vent gas to exit the FPSO to starboard.

¾ If gas is detected on deck, the FPSO will, if the weather conditions allow, be
turned beam to wind or even with wind on port quarter, to facilitate natural
ventilation off the deck and away from safe areas.

¾ When a heading change greater than 5 degrees is initiated, the DRB will
automatically turn the same azimuth angle in opposite direction to maintain geo-
stationary azimuth and avoid twist of the risers.

¾ The DRB turning system is consequently a safety critical feature and is operational
even with gas on deck.

22
 Selection of optimal position

¾ DP system will receive and present data from

riser/mooring system, such as:
¾ Riser angle
¾ Transponders on riser/mooring.

¾ DP Operator will select vessel position in high current

and wave conditions to optimise operating conditions
for the risers and allow longer time for riser
disconnect in case of drift-off.

23
 Concluding Remarks

¾ A Dynamically Positioned FPSO has been designed and is

ready for first oil late 2008/early 2009 pending field
specific requirements

¾ The FPSO can accommodate multiple risers using a state-of

the art DRB™

¾ The DP System is a multi discipline system integrating

propulsion, power generation and utility systems with the
control system

¾ The operational procedures integrate the DP operational

procedure with the facility operational procedure
