2-Day Conference 28th February & 1st March 2007
Pre- & Post-Conference Workshops 27th February & 2nd March 2007
FPSO Design Conference 2007 will provide exclusive insights on
• easing FPSO operation by setting up operability requirements
• improving FPSO design by early cooperation with shipbuilding designers
• analyzing the impact of wave loads induced by steep waves on hull design
• achieving safe and effective operations in deep water areas
• using risk based tools for enhancing FPSO design
Market Update - The forecast spend is a 19% increase on the previous fi ve years to 2006. In terms of regions Asia and Australasia will see a 60% increase in spend, from $4.3bn to $6.86bn.
Europe will see a dramatic increase from $1.2bn to $2.5bn by 2011. In terms of total units, 142 are forecast to be installed over the next fi ve years, compared to 89 in the previous fi ve years. FPSOs & FPSs - 143 operational, 39 construction/conversion, 130 prospects 2007/11 .Source: INFIELD
Design for FPSOs, including mooring, riser, turret, and anchoring systems plays a critical role in effective operation of the vessel. A FPSO which is properly designed and purposely built to take into account the oil fi eld conditions and analysis of oceanographic data will bring a lot more profi t in the long term. Benefi ts come through longer operation hours, lower maintenance efforts and costs, higher safety standards and extended lifespan.
To complement your experience their will be 4 practical workshops:
• Applying risk assessment in FPSO design
• Addressing key issues in FPSO vessel design
• New technology for LNG FPSO
•Incorporating integrity management principles in FPSO design
The conference will be dual languages |
|
So how do you ensure a proper design that optimizes production and operability?In this conference, FPSO operators will team up with their builders, designers and researchers to introduce the newest design philosophies, exhibit latest technologies, design techniques and improved design standards that they have adopted in various FPSO projects including:
• StatOil MST (Hugin series)
• Shell EA FPSO (Sea Eagle)
• Shell Bonga 2 Mbbls FPSO
• Husky Oil White-Rose FPSO (Sea Rose)
• Total Daila 2 Mbbls FPSO
• Total Akpo FPSO
•Woodside Enfield FPSO (Nganhurra)
• Nexus Generic FPSO
• BP Skarv FPSO
• Marathon Alvheim FPSO
• Nanhai Fenjin FPSO
