Types of Floating Platforms

FPU - NO STORAGE

  • SPAR
  • TLP - Tension Leg Platform
  • SEMI - Production Semisubmersible

FPU - WITH STORAGE

  • FPSO - Floating Production Storage Offloading
  • FSO - Floating Storage & Offloading

Dry or Wet?

  • Dry trees are possible only where there is limited motion
  • Dry trees means easy access to trees - allows service to underwater lines (conduct pigging for example) if clogged
  • FPSOs move too much to allow dry trees - must use wet trees
  • Spars and TLPs are stable enough to use dry trees

FPSO Mooring Types

Mooring Type - 1.png
  • Spread moored
  • Turret Moored
    • Yoke to fixed structure
    • External to vessel
    • Internal to vessel
  • Dynamically positioned

Hull/Topsides Integration

  • FPSO - Shipyard Integration
  • Semi - Shipyard or Quayside Integration
  • TLP - Offshore Integration
  • Spar - Offshore Integration
  • Quayside integration requires lift capability, allows construction of topsides at convenient location
  • Offshore integration requires costly heavy lift vessel
