|
|
SOFEC designed and constructed an internal permanent turret mooring system for a 283,000 dwt deepwater FPSO installed in the Albacora field in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil. The FPSO is located in 330m water depth. The turret system is designed to accommodate 25 flexible risers in a radial pattern around the turret chain table. The ten-path swivel stack includes fluid paths for production, oil import and export, gas lift, and water injection. Multi-line swivels provide hydraulic and pneumatic controls. The turret uses an eight leg symmetric catenary wire/chain mooring system.
