Vessel Overview
MOTIVATED SELLERS - CONTACT US FOR NEW PRICING
Vessel Type: FPSO containment and recovery barge
Condition: New, never used
Operational Roles:
Floating production and storage operations (FPSO / FPO use)
Offshore oil and gas processing and transfer to shuttle tanker
Oil spill response and subsea well containment
Design Basis: Arctic Containment System (ACS)
Original Design Purpose: Subsea well control, containment, and recovery
Re-purpose Capability: Floating production vessel with oil, gas, and water treatment
Containment and Recovery System
The containment system is based on a proprietary Arctic Containment System developed to capture and recover uncontrolled subsea oil and gas well leaks.
The system begins with a specially designed containment dome that functions as a three phase separator. The dome captures mixed well fluids and directs oil and gas through dedicated recovery hoses to onboard processing modules.
Recovered fluids are processed onboard to separate oil, gas, and water streams for controlled handling, disposal, or transfer.
Process and Production Equipment
The onboard processing module includes:
Two three phase separator vessels
One two phase separator
Process heaters and heat exchangers
Pumps and piping systems
Instrumentation and control systems
The process system is designed to:
Separate oil, gas, and produced water
Treat oil for recovery, offloading, or flaring
Flare recovered gas through the flare system
Treat produced water and return it to the sea in compliance with regulations
Production and Recovery Capacities (Design Basis)
Original Maximum Design Rates
Oil: up to 25,000 barrels per day (32 API crude)
Oil: approximately 17,000 barrels per day (20 API crude)
Produced Water: up to 20,000 barrels per day
Gas: up to 15 MMscfd
Re-purpose Production Potential
Engineering studies indicate potential oil production capacity varies based on crude API gravity and gas to oil ratio (GOR), with higher capacities achievable subject to reasonable system modifications.
Indicative repurpose capacities:
Up to 49,000 barrels per day for lighter crude at lower GOR
Approximately 29,000 barrels per day at moderate API gravity
Lower capacities for heavier crude oils with higher viscosity
Higher gas handling capacity up to 30 MMscfd may be achievable with system modifications.
FPSO and Production Operations
The barge can operate as a floating production unit by receiving well fluids via:
Subsea containment dome recovery hoses, or
Capping stack and well intervention hoses routed through a choke manifold
Recovered oil can be:
Offloaded to shuttle tankers for recovery or sales, or
Routed to the flare system as required
Recovered gas is directed to the flare system.
Recovered produced water is treated and discharged overboard.
Flare and Relief Systems
The system includes a flare arrangement designed for controlled burning of recovered hydrocarbons.
Engineering studies identify potential modifications for:
Increased flare capacity
Low pressure flare system integration
Knockout drum, flare stack, piping, and pumps
Re-verification of flare capacity for higher gas rates
Instrumentation and Control
The processing system includes:
Instrumentation and monitoring systems
Level, flow, and pressure control
Guided wave radar level transmitters
Safety shutdown and control logic
Provision exists for upgrades to inline metering, sampling systems, and additional shutdown valves if required by regulatory or allocation standards.
Operational Limitations and Engineering Notes
Engineering analysis identifies the following considerations:
Oil handling capacity may be limited by separator residence time, transfer pumps, or flare capacity
Heavier crude oils may require additional heating and pumping power
Produced water treatment capacity may require enhancement for stricter discharge criteria
Gas handling capacity is linked to flare system limits
Additional equipment may be required for pipeline export specifications
These limitations were assessed as manageable with reasonable engineering modifications.
