The "FPSO Cidade de Anchieta" is not located in the Bahamas; instead, it operates off the coast of Brazil. FPSO stands for Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading vessel. These ships are used in the offshore oil and gas industry to process and store hydrocarbons that are extracted from underwater reservoirs. Below is a description and specifications for FPSO Cidade de Anchieta:

Description:

The FPSO Cidade de Anchieta is a converted oil tanker repurposed as an FPSO vessel. It is designed to produce, store, and offload crude oil and gas from offshore oil fields. The FPSO is typically moored to remain stationary over the oil field and can stay operational for long periods without requiring dry-docking.

Specifications:

  1. Name: FPSO Cidade de Anchieta
  2. Operator: Typically operated by companies involved in offshore oil production such as Petrobras.
  3. Location: Primarily operates in the Baleia Azul field, located in the Campos Basin, offshore Brazil.

General Characteristics:

  1. Length Overall (LOA): Approximately 335 meters.
  2. Breadth (Beam): Approximately 58 meters.
  3. Depth: Approximately 30 meters.

Production Capacity:

  1. Oil Production Capacity: Around 100,000 barrels of oil per day.
  2. Processing Capacity: Capable of processing both oil and gas, with gas compression facilities.
  3. Storage Capacity: The vessel can store approximately 1.6 million barrels of oil.

Infrastructure:

  1. Topside Facilities: Equipped with units for crude separation, gas compression, water treatment, and utility systems.
  2. Mooring System: Single-point mooring, often with turret systems to allow the vessel to weathervane, which helps in maintaining optimum orientation relative to wind and currents.
  3. Offloading System: Dynamic positioning and shuttle tanker offloading capabilities for transferring oil to other vessels.

Safety and Environmental:

  1. Helideck: Equipped with a helipad to allow for crew changes and emergency evacuations.
