Design of a Processing Facility

A key to design of a Processing Facility

is the knowledge and understanding of Composition

(chemistry) and physical properties of the reservoir fluids

to be produced (both on start-up and with time)

the specification of the product to be produced.

Vessel Motion

Vessel motion affect the operation of process systems onboard, e.g.

the separator

units that operate by spraying

rotating equipment

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 byextreme weather

Layout

Limited deck area on FPS willaffect 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

Processing Capability

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 capacitiesfacilitated by improved technology

Greater Plutonio FPSO

The FPSO was built by HHI inSouth Korea.

The topsides processing

system was designed by KBR

in the UK with support from

other KBR offices, and in

conjunction with BP.

Accommodation, controlroom, helideck and lifeboats

are forward.
