FPSO PEREGRINO

• Latitude: -23.3161
• Longitude: -41.2591
• East Coast South America
• Offshore Terminal in Singapore

Location: Singapore

The FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading) Peregrino is a crucial component of the Peregrino oil field development, located offshore Brazil in the Campos Basin. The oil field is operated by Equinor, a Norwegian multinational energy company, in partnership with Sinochem. The FPSO Peregrino was constructed and converted to serve the specific needs of this field and exhibits several important specifications and operational characteristics.

General Description

• Name: FPSO Peregrino
• Type: Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading Unit
• Field: Peregrino Field, Campos Basin, Offshore Brazil
• Operator: Equinor (formerly Statoil), in partnership with Sinochem

Design and Construction

• Construction: The FPSO Peregrino was initially an oil tanker that was converted into an FPSO.
• Conversion Location: Keppel Shipyard, Singapore.
• Delivery: The FPSO was completed and delivered to its operating site in the late 2000s.

Specifications

• Storage Capacity: Approximately 1.6 million barrels of crude oil.
• Production Capacity: Around 100,000 barrels of oil per day.

• Length: Approximately 337.08 meters.
• Width: Approximately 58.03 meters.
• Deadweight Tonnage (DWT): Approximately 309,915 metric tons.

Operational Features

• Moored System: Turret moored system allowing the unit to rotate in response to prevailing sea and weather conditions.
• Process Facilities: Equipped to handle heavy oil production with dedicated processing equipment, including dehydration and desalting units.
• Subsea Infrastructure: Connected to a network of subsea wells and manifolds.
• Gas Handling: Capability to handle associated gas, including facilities for gas compression and gas lift.
• Water Injection: System for water injection to maintain reservoir pressure and enhance oil recovery.
• Safety Systems: State-of-the-art safety and environmental systems to mitigate risks and minimize environmental impact.

Key Functions

• Production: Extracting crude oil from subsea wells and processing it onboard the FPSO.
• Storage: Storing the processed oil in large tanks within the hull.
• Offloading: Transfer of stored oil to shuttle tankers for transportation to refineries and markets.

Navigational and Mooring Details

• Dynamic Positioning (DP): Equipped with dynamic positioning systems to maintain stability and location.
• Mooring Lines: Multiple mooring lines for secure attachment to the seabed.

Environmental and Regulatory Compliance

• Regulations: Complies with international and Brazilian environmental regulations and standards for offshore oil and gas operations.
• Waste Management: Comprehensive waste management systems including treatment and disposal of produced water, drilling waste, and other by-products.
• Emission Controls: Equipment and protocols in place to control greenhouse gas and other emissions.

Overall, the FPSO Peregrino is a sophisticated offshore facility designed to enable efficient extraction, processing, and storage of crude oil in challenging offshore conditions, while adhering to stringent safety and environmental standards.
