Geo-stationary hull – Main benefits

• Hull facing environment with same shape in all directions – no need to rotate,

even in the harshest environmental conditions

• Axio-symetric hull – no weathervaning -> Eliminating turret and swivel

• Tolerant for weather spreading (waves/ wind/ current from different directions)

• Capex savings: Cost of turret /swivel as well as thrusters avoided

• Opex savings: Reducing requirement for marine crew and fuel consumption

• Increased flexibility:Spare capacity for tie ins simply by spare riser guide tubes

• Power transfer: Facilitates high electric power transfer

WAVESs

17

Insignificant bending stresses due to global loads on the hull

• Eliminating typical wave induced fatigue loads

• Minimal hull deflections (sag/ hog) simplifying topside design

18

Favourable Motions compared to shipshaped FSU/ FPSO

24

Permanent mooring in Cyclone exposed areas JIP including model tests with Sevan Platforms

Demonstrated feasibility of safe permanent

mooring through cyclone condition

Significant increase in production uptime

based on avoiding disconnection

Mooring in fixed orientation eliminates

problem with rapid change of wind

direction forcing a shipshaped FPSO to

get waves beam on and excessive roll

Tuning of hull shape for motion optimisation

ENABLING SCRs FOR HARSH ENVIRONMENT FPSOs Sevan Hull Tuned for Optimized Motion Pattern

Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs) features:

- Lower cost

- Higher and more predictable durability

- Higher capacity for top tension,

temperature and pressure

- More flexibility for corrosion protection

and thermal insulation

Cooling seawater Intake

• Large cooling water requirement – typical for 2.4 MTPA 18 000 m3/h

• Seawater intake from cold deepwater

• Stationary unit-> no interference with mooring and risers

-> no swivel for cooling water required
