- W2017016424 abstract "ABSTRACT SBM has recently added three Brazilian FPSO's to its lease fleet: the Espadarte FPSO, FPSO Brasil and FPSO Marlim Sul, all operating in the Campos Basin. These projects involved many challenges, including deepwater and ultra deepwater conditions, fast track schedules and large topside processing facilities. This paper describes the technical features of the vessels, along with the methods adopted to meet these challenges, and focuses specifically on the evolution of the design to incorporate lessons learned. INTRODUCTION Single Buoy Moorings Inc (SBM), a member of the IHC Caland Group, owns and operates three deepwater Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels that are currently operating in the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil. These units, which are leased to our client, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), are:Espadarte FPSO, operating in 800m water depth on the Espadarte field since 2000.FPSO Brasil, operating in 1300m water depth on the Roncador field since 2002.FPSO Marlim Sul, soon to start operation in 1200m water depth on the Marlim Sul field. These three world-scale FPSO projects faced technical challenges due to deepwater and ultra deepwater locations, and project execution challenges due to the ambitious fast track schedules. The strategy on these projects was to use preengineered proven building blocks to deliver fit-for purpose FPSO's on fast track schedules. This approach has also been used recently by SBM to deliver a 'generic' series of 3 large leased FPSO vessels to ExxonMobil for projects in West Africa. This paper provides a general overview of the 3 Brazilian FPSO projects, highlights some of the factors contributing to their success, and describes some of the methods adopted to meet the above challenges. The evolution of design of these three vessels, to incorporate lessons learned, is also discussed. GENERAL The three SBM owned and operated FPSO's in the Campos Basin look rather similar, and have benefited from synergy to achieve fast track schedules. However, they do differ in many ways, and each has been tailored to match specific project requirements. The Espadarte FPSO serves a number of deepwater fields, in addition to Espadarte. Production from the nearby Marimba Leste field may also be tied in to this vessel. The FPSO has therefore been designed to be flexible in terms of its ability to process a range of crude oils from 18 to 29° API, and has provision for future Electric Submersible Pumps (ESP's) in up to 4 wells. The water depth at the originally selected location for this FPSO was 1000m. This location was changed at a late stage of the project to accommodate new field data, and the FPSO was finally moored in 800m." @default.
