PETROJARL FOINAVEN

• Latitude: 55.7542
• Longitude: -4.87746
• Offshore Terminal in Bahamas

Location: Bahamas

The PETROJARL FOINAVEN is a Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel utilized in the oil and gas industry. It is typically stationed offshore and used for the processing and storage of oil and gas extracted from subsea wells before the oil is offloaded onto shuttle tankers or pipelines for transport to refineries.

Description

Name: PETROJARL FOINAVEN

Type: Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel

Operator: Teekay Offshore (historically operated by Teekay Corporation and Bluewater Energy Services, among others)

Location: Historically stationed in the Foinaven oil field, west of the Shetland Islands, U.K. It may be identified in various databases as located in the Bahamas due to flag state registration, financial, or taxation reasons.

Built: 1996 by Astano in El Ferrol, Spain

Conversion: Converted to an FPSO unit in 1997

Flag: Bahamas (Note: This is for administrative, legal, and regulatory purposes; not necessarily the operational location)

Specifications

Length: Approximately 242 meters

Breadth (Width): Approximately 42 meters

Draught: Approximately 14 meters

Deadweight Tonnage (DWT): Approximately 108,000 metric tons

Storage Capacity: Roughly 300,000 barrels of oil

Processing Capacity: Can process up to 85,000 barrels of oil per day (bbl/d)

Gas Treatment Capacity: Capable of handling up to 3.2 million cubic meters of gas per day (MMSCFD)

Oil Transfer System: Offloads processed oil to shuttle tankers

Mooring System: Typically moored using a turret mooring system, allowing the vessel to rotate and maintain a stable position even in rough sea conditions.

Accommodations: Equipped to house around 60-80 personnel

Key Features

1. Production Facilities: Includes topside modules for the processing, treatment, and separation of oil, gas, and water.
2. Storage Tanks: Integrated tanks within the vessel’s hull for crude oil storage.
3. Offloading Systems: Equipped with tandem and buoy offloading systems for transferring crude oil to shuttle tankers.
4. Safety Systems: State-of-the-art safety systems including fire and gas detection, emergency shutdown systems, and redundancy for critical systems.
5. Subsea Connectivity: Connected to multiple subsea wells via risers and flowlines.

Environmental and Safety Standards

The PETROJARL FOINAVEN complies with international maritime environmental and safety standards, such as:

• International Maritime Organization (IMO) Regulations
• International Safety Management (ISM) Code
• Health, Safety, and Environmental (HSE) Standards
• Classification Society Rules (such as Det Norske Veritas - Germanischer Lloyd, DNV-GL)

Operational Usage

The FPSO PETROJARL FOINAVEN has been primarily used in the Foinaven oil field, which is known for its challenging environmental conditions. The FPSO's design and operational capabilities make it well-suited for such harsh environments where traditional offshore drilling platforms might be less effective.

Due to its complexity and ability to process oil from subsea wells, it is an integral part of the offshore oil production supply chain, ensuring that extracted hydrocarbons are efficiently processed and stored before being transported to onshore facilities.
