The Offshore Terminal SEA EAGLE is a prominent Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel located off the coast of Nigeria. Here are the details and specifications of the SEA EAGLE:

General Description

  • Type: Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel
  • Location: Oyo Oilfield, approximately 75 kilometers off the coast of Nigeria.

Specifications

Dimensions

  • Length Overall (LOA): Approximately 316 meters
  • Breadth: Approximately 58 meters
  • Draft: Around 22 meters
  • Deadweight Tonnage: Varies by build and retrofit specifics, typically around 300,000 DWT.

Storage & Production

  • Oil Storage Capacity: Roughly 1.4 million barrels
  • Oil Production Capacity: Generally in the range of 150,000 barrels per day (bpd)
  • Gas Processing Capacity: Approximately 170 million standard cubic feet per day (MMSCFD)

Mooring and Anchoring

  • Mooring Configuration: Spread mooring system to ensure stability in open sea conditions.
  • Anchoring Depth: Can be anchored in water depths of around 1500 meters or more.

Processing Systems

  • Oil Processing: Includes facilities for the separation of oil, gas, water, and sediments.
  • Gas Handling: Capable of processing associated gas, with compression and dehydration capabilities.
  • Water Injection: Often equipped with water injection systems to maintain reservoir pressure and enhance oil recovery.

Safety and Environmental Features

  • Flare System: Designed for safe handling of excess gas.
  • Offloading System: Equipped with tandem offloading capabilities to transfer oil to shuttle tankers.
  • Fire and Gas Detection Systems: State-of-the-art devices for early detection of potential hazards.
  • Emergency Shutdown System (ESD): Ensures quick response to abnormal conditions.

Navigation and Communication

  • Dynamic Positioning System (DPS): To assist in maintaining optimal position.
  • Helideck: To facilitate transportation of personnel and equipment.

Accommodation

  • Living Quarters: Equipped to house crew members with necessary amenities including dining, recreational facilities, and medical services.

Operational Information

  • Year Built: Typically an FPSO like SEA EAGLE would be conversions from older tankers or built-new, specific build details may vary.
  • Operator: Commonly operated by major oil-producing firms under joint ventures with national entities.

Key Functions

  1. Production: Extraction and processing of hydrocarbons from subsea wells.
  2. Storage: Storage of processed crude oil until it can be offloaded to shuttle tankers.
  3. Offloading: Transfer of crude oil to transport vessels for delivery to refineries.

Maintenance and Upgrades

  • Regular maintenance for mechanical integrity, corrosion protection, and safety systems.
  • Periodic upgrades to processing and offloading systems in line with technological advancements and regulatory requirements.

The SEA EAGLE FPSO is a vital asset in Nigeria's offshore oil production capability, contributing significantly to the country’s oil output. Its robust configuration and capacity make it a cornerstone of offshore hydrocarbon logistics and production in the region.
