Basic Design BASIC CONCEPT The FPSO comprises a new build turret moored monohull vessel capable of continuous operation in the CNS. A minimum service life of twenty years is required and it is envisaged that the FPSO will be demobilised after ten years service for major survey, maintenance and repair. The FPSO exports oil to the existing Shell/Esso fleet of shuttle tankers or to third party tankers. Tankers are moored astern to the FPSO during loading. The FPSO is connected to subsea production manifolds using flexible risers, flowlines and control umbilicals. All FPSO systems, including the subsea systems, are monitored and controlled from a single control room by an integrated Control and Management System. The main functions of the FPSO are summarized as follow: production of dead crude for export by shuttle tanker; export of associated gases consistent with the Fulmar Gas Line requirements; treatment of produced water prior to disposal overboard; provision of facilities for water injection; provision of facilities for water injection; provision of utility systems for FPSO shipboard, topsides and subsea operations; space and weight provision for a future identical gas compression train, production separator, oil import and gas lift are included. BARGE DESIGN The barge is designed to receive, store and offload crude oil produced from subsea wells and treated in the topside facilities. Minimum provisions to allow future import of stabilized crude are provided. It is capable of storing 850,000 bbls of crude, based on 98% of full capacity excluding the slop tanks. It is provided with a helicopter deck, accommodation space (which functions as the TSR -- Temporary Safe Refuge) and a machinery space, all located at the stern of the barge. The barge has a double hull consisting of side ballas tanks over the full length of the cargo tanks, and a single bottom. The main hull is divided by bulkheads into the following compartments: fore peak water ballast; no. 1 side water ballast tank; cargo tanks and side water ballast tank; cofferdam; machinery room and double bottom space; aft peak water ballast tank. The cargo tank part is divided by transverse bulkheads into seven cargo oil tanks, and one pair of slop tanks. A centre line swash type bulkhead is provided in the cargo oil tanks. The centre tanks are allocated to crude oil storage, while the wing tanks are used for seawater ballast exclusively. The produced oil from the topsides is received with a decanting line to where final crude dehydration takes place. In this process the remaining water settles by gravity prior to being displaced to one of the slop tanks for further treatment to allow overboard disposal. Dehydrated crude oil is then transferred to the dedicated oil storage tanks. All tanks are designed for filling levels ranging from empty to full in terms of local tank strength. During normal operation ballast tanks can be either full or empty to allow ease of operation. The barge is operated on an even keel condition in combination with ballast operation with a slight trim by the stern during stripping operations. The cargo tanks are equipped with individual submerged cargo offloading pumps. Crude oil is exported via a fiscal metering system to a tandem moored shuttle tanker. The cargo piping system is designed to enable simultaneous reception of crude oil from the topside facilities and offloading of the cargo. The cargo and slop tanks are equipped to allow crude oil washing, inerting, venting and gas freeing of any individual tank without affecting the safety or the continuity of crude oil production and storage. All cargo and ballast tank equipment and associated systems are remotely controlled and monitored from the ICC (Installation Control Centre) located within the TSR.

Mooring The turret benefits from the experience SBM Inc. have gained from their latest turret designs, and limits the number of critical mechanical components, such as the bearings, by using a single roller bearing located at the optimum vertical position for weathervaning. It consists of a chaintable structure anchored to seabed anchor piles via twelve catenary mooring anchor lines, able to limit excursions to 24 metres in extreme conditions. The anchor system consists of, from top to seabed: 110m chain attached to base of turret; clump weight consisting of 150m x 6" double length chain; 30m x 6" chain; 700m x 5.5" Bridon sheathed spiral strand wire rope; 150m x 6" chain attached to 2.1m diameter x 31m long pile. The chaintable structure is suspended from a heavy duty roller bearing which is located approximately 7 metres above the keel of the FPSO. The 7m diameter triple race bearing, fabricated by RKS, is supported on the tanker side by a reinforced box structure integrated into the forward part of the FPSO vessel's hull. A turret cylinder, housed in a 12.6m diameter well and extending upwards until some two metres above the vessel's main deck, is mounted to the earth-fixed side of the main bearing. The turret cylinder houses the riser 'I-tubes' and supports the turret main deck, the manifold platform, and the swivel deck together with the swivel stack, the mooring line and riser winches, and all the earth-fixed part of the rigid piping. A radial bearing assembly is used at tanker main deck level to absorb the radial loads caused by the accelerations of the upper turret structural mass and to act as a radial bearing during a possible offshore change-out of the main bearing. The entire assembly including manifold platform and swivel extends some 30 metres above the main deck. When the vessel moves off station, due to the effects of wind, wave and current, certain anchor lines are lifted. This generates a restoring force which returns the system to the equilibrium position, thus limiting the vessel's excursion. The turret mooring system is designed to securely moor the FPSO tanker in all sea states up to and including the survival sea state while allowing transfer of fluid products to and from the barge. Fluid transfer is achieved by flexible risers which are routed through the turret mooring and interface, with rigid piping at manifold deck level. The product is then passed through toroidal swivels to the barge main deck and the process facilities. The swivel stack comprises, from bottom to top: space for future swivel (2 x 8"); space for oil production swivel (2 x 8"); oil production swivel for Teal South/Guillemot A (2 x 8"); oil production swivel for Teal (2 x 8"); water injection swivel (1 x 8"); hydraulic/chemicals/vent swivel (multiple path); electrical/signal swivels (multiple path/dual units); gas export swivel (4" pipe swivel). The turret's manifold area is protected from possible wave action (green water) by a raised bulwark extension of the barge's bow. A tubular steel overhead framework is positioned directly over the turret to provide access in order to perform maintenance and operational functions. A 40 tonnes pedestal crane, supported by the FPSO vessel deck, serves the complete above deck turret to remove swivels and perform other maintenance functions. A hydraulic power unit, located on the FPSO deck, provides power via the swivel to activate the several types of valves in the product lines. The turret can accommodate up to 14 risers of various Riser System diameters; initially 6 risers and 2 umbilicals were installed. The flexible risers are supplied by Wellstream.

E17

Basic Design The Berge Hugin is the first of a series of multipurpose shuttle tankers (MST) prepared for FPSO operation. The ship features a load-bearing deck to accommodate rapid installation of production topsides; the facilities are contained in standardized modules which can easily be transferred to another similar ship if required. Topside facilities of up to 3500 mt in 100-200 mt packages can be accommodated on the aft part of the deck. The MST has a double-skinned hull and incorporates the submerged turret loading and production system developed by Statoil, APL and Framo. As an alternative to FPSO use, the ship can be employed as a shuttle tanker. In this mode it can stern load while moored to a buoy, storage unit or production system, or it can load on DP without anchoring. Alternatively, it can load via an STL (submerged turret loading) buoy as developed by Statoil and partners and employed on several fields. It can also be used as an FSO with no further modifications. The 'Berge Hugin' was initially taken to Blohm + Voss in Hamburg for about six weeks preparatory work, then to Aker McNulty on Tyneside for outfitting of process topsides. Topsides consisting of eleven modules, weight about 5000 Main Components tonnes; four of the modules were fabricated by Aker McNulty, which installed all eleven; other modules were supplied by Proser, Baker Hughes Process Systems, Enerflex, KCC Process Equipment and IKM. Mooring The MST uses a DP system for positioning; mooring/loading in a production situation uses the APS developed STL/STP system. The main component in submerged turret loading (STL) is a buoy which floats below sea level and is pulled into the bottom of a shuttle tanker before loading begins. Deployable in a range of water depths, the buoy incorporates a turret shaft and riser swivel that allow the tanker to weathervane through 360 and remain bow-on to wind and waves at all times. First adopted by Shell in 1993, STL is currently installed on 11 vessels. Submerged turret production (STP) involves a special disconnectable swivel that permits STL ships to be converted easily for oil output. Multipurpose shuttle tankers use this solution in production mode. The swivel can transfer a multiphase wellstream containing oil, water and gas via a flexible riser into the weathervaning vessel. STP is suitable for developments based on subsea production, and can be adapted for small or medium-sized fields, such as satellite reservoirs. On small fields, several risers from seabed wells can be tied to the swivel via the submerged buoy. It is also deployable in deep water. In the case of the Berge Hugin the ship is moored using suction anchors. Capacity for 10 risers or more; three 10 inch and one 8 inch Riser System flowline riser installed by Rockwater Other Features Design Life Design Criteria Norwegian Registration Den norske stats oljeselskap a.s., Shipping & Maritime Contact Technology, N-4035 Stavanger, Norway, tel: +47 51 80 80 80, fax: +47 51 80 89 10.

Other main Contractors Other Main Contractors December 1997 Delivery Basic Design The Banff FPSO (also referred to as the 'Ramform B380') is based on a wedge-shaped 'Ramform' hull design. The vessel is double hull. The turret is located forward of midships, allowing the ship to 'wavevane', or turn with the waves. The exceptional stability reduces the requirement for ballasting, thereby increasing the allowable deck load. The Ramform design has been described as the only vessel design that can take its entire deadweight on deck, thereby allowing a great deal of flexibility in configuring the process facilities. It is said to require only half the building time and one-third the amount of steel as comparable conventional FPSOs. The Ramform Banff FPSO vessel suffered major difficulties in the year 2000, being subject to violent motion in the seaway attributed to deficiencies in the novel hull design. This produced excessive roll, outside design specifications. The consequence was a number of system failures and difficulties for personnel. The vessel has undergone significant design changes.
