B 3

Location and Design

Location: Specify the geographical location of the B3 oil project. This could include the country, region, and any specific coordinates or proximity to notable landmarks.
Design: Describe the type of platform or facility used (e.g., fixed platform, floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) facility). Include details on the construction and any unique features, such as the use of buoyant turret mooring (BTM) technology or specific materials used.

Production Capacity: Provide the estimated daily production capacity of the project in terms of barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) per day. For example, the Olympus (Mars B) platform produces approximately 100,000 BOE per day.
Reserves: Estimate the total recoverable reserves of the field. For instance, the Stones project is estimated to hold more than 2 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Platform Size and Weight: If applicable, include the dimensions and weight of the platform. For example, the Berkut platform measures 105 meters in length, 60 meters in width, and 144 meters in height, weighing over 42,780 metric tons.
Depth and Drilling: Mention the water depth at which the platform operates and any notable drilling depths. The Olympus platform, for example, operates in a water depth of around 3,100 feet.

Number of Wells: Specify the number of wells connected to the platform and any plans for expansion. The Stones FPSO connects to two wells initially, with plans to expand to six.
Processing and Storage: Describe the processing and storage capabilities of the facility. For example, the Olympus platform supports the extraction and processing of more than 360,000 barrels of oil daily through its 48 oil wells.

Investment and Revenue: Provide details on the investment made in the project and the expected revenue. The Berkut platform, for instance, was a $12 billion project expected to generate more than $9 billion in revenue over ten years.

Emissions and Environmental Impact: Consider including information on the environmental impact and any measures taken to mitigate emissions. This could involve referencing guidelines such as those from the GHG Protocol for calculating scope 3 emissions.

Location: Located in the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 200 kilometers off the coast of Louisiana.
Design: The B3 oil project utilizes a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) facility. The FPSO is a converted Suezmax tanker secured in place using buoyant turret mooring (BTM) technology.

Production Capacity: The B3 project is estimated to produce approximately 80,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak production.
Reserves: The field is estimated to hold around 1.5 billion barrels of oil equivalent.

Platform Size and Weight: The FPSO measures 100 meters in length, 55 meters in width, and 130 meters in height, weighing around 35,000 metric tons.
Depth and Drilling: The platform operates in a water depth of approximately 2,500 feet.

Number of Wells: Initially connected to four wells, with plans to expand to eight wells over time.
Processing and Storage: The facility can handle 80,000 barrels of oil and 150 million cubic feet of gas daily. It includes modules for emergency equipment, security systems, a rig, a processing unit, living areas, a helipad, and other facilities.

Investment and Revenue: The project was an $8 billion investment, expected to generate around $7 billion in revenue over the next decade.

Emissions and Environmental Impact: The project adheres to stringent environmental regulations, with measures in place to minimize emissions. The company follows the GHG Protocol for calculating and reporting scope 3 emissions.
