Location: Bahamas

The FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) unit "Cidade de Angra dos Reis" is not located in the Bahamas but rather operates offshore Brazil, primarily in the Lula oil field in the Santos Basin. However, I'll provide a general description and specification for the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis, which can be useful for understanding its capabilities and structure.

General Description

Name: FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis

Type: Floating Production Storage and Offloading unit (FPSO)

Location: Offshore Brazil (Lula Oil Field, Santos Basin)

Operator: Modec and Mitsui Ocean Development & Engineering Co., Ltd. (MODEC), under contract with Petrobras

Primary Function:

  • Production and processing of oil and gas from undersea reservoirs
  • Storage of crude oil and offloading to tankers for transport

Specifications

  1. Dimensions:

    • Length: Approximately 332 meters (1,089 feet)
    • Width: Approximately 58 meters (190 feet)
  2. Storage Capacity:

    • Oil Storage: Around 1.6 million barrels of crude oil
  3. Production Capacity:

    • Oil Processing: Approximately 100,000 to 150,000 barrels per day (bpd)
    • Gas Processing: Around 5 million cubic meters per day
  4. Water Depth:

    • Designed to operate at water depths of up to 2,400 meters (7,874 feet)
  5. Mooring System:

    • Spread moored (using multiple anchors spread around the unit for stability)
  6. Processing Facilities:

    • Separation: Facilities for separating gas, oil, and water
    • Gas Compression: Systems for compressing and re-injecting gas or exporting it
    • Water Injection: Equipment for injecting water into the reservoir to maintain pressure
    • Produced Water Treatment: Systems to treat water produced during oil extraction
  7. Miscellaneous:

    • Helideck: Capable of supporting helicopter operations for crew transfer and logistics
    • Accommodation: Living quarters for crew and staff, often with amenities like a mess hall, medical facilities, etc.

Key Features

  • Advanced Safety Systems: Equipped with comprehensive safety equipment for fire and gas detection, emergency shutdowns, and life-saving appliances.
  • Environmental Protection: Fitted with systems to control emissions and manage discharges to minimize environmental impact.
  • Dynamic Positioning (DP): Often includes DP systems to maintain its position relative to the production site.

The FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis is a crucial infrastructure component in offshore oil and gas production, playing an essential role in extracting, processing, and storing hydrocarbons before they are offloaded to shuttle tankers.
