Location: Singapore

The Offshore Terminal "SENDJE BERGE" is a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit. FPSOs are crucial in the offshore oil and gas industry as they are used for the processing of hydrocarbons and storage of oil. Here's a detailed description and specification of the SENDJE BERGE:

General Description:

  • Name: SENDJE BERGE
  • Type: FPSO (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading)
  • Location: Typically stationed at an offshore oil field to process and store hydrocarbons pumped from subsea wells.

Specifications:

  • Built By: Initially constructed as a tanker and later converted into an FPSO.
  • Hull: Originally built as a single-hulled tanker, modified and upgraded for its FPSO role.
  • Country of Operation: Although registered in Singapore, FPSOs like the SENDJE BERGE often operate in various international offshore oil fields.

Capabilities:

  • Oil Production Capacity: Capable of processing a significant volume of crude oil per day. Specific production capacity can vary but often ranges in the tens of thousands of barrels per day.
  • Storage Capacity: Equipped with large storage tanks for oil, capable of storing several hundred thousand barrels of oil.
  • Gas Handling: Can handle associated gas, often with facilities for gas flaring, reinjection, or export.
  • Accommodation: Equipped with living quarters for crew and operational staff. Accommodations typically include sleeping quarters, mess areas, recreation rooms, and other necessary facilities.
  • Mooring System: Designed with a mooring system appropriate for its operational environment, often a spread mooring or turret mooring system which allows the vessel to weathervane around a fixed point.

Equipment & Systems:

  • Processing Equipment: Includes separators, heaters, coolers, oil stabilizers, etc., for crude oil processing.
  • Safety Systems: Equipped with extensive safety systems including fire and gas detection systems, fire-fighting systems, emergency shutdown systems, and life-saving equipment.
  • Offloading Systems: Capable of offloading processed oil to shuttle tankers or pipelines.
  • Power Generation: Typically has onboard power generation capabilities, including diesel generators and possibly gas turbines.

Operational Aspects:

  • Operational Criteria: Designed to withstand harsh marine environments, including wave, wind, and current conditions typical of offshore fields.
  • Maintenance: Regular maintenance and offshore services are essential to ensure the FPSO's operation. This might involve divers, subsea inspection tools, and maintenance of topside equipment.

Compliance and Standards:

  • Regulatory Compliance: Adheres to international maritime regulations and standards for safety, environmental protection, and operational efficiency (e.g., MARPOL, SOLAS).
  • Classification Society: Classified by recognized international classification societies (such as DNV GL, ABS, Lloyd's Register).

Additional Features:

  • Helideck: Often fitted with a helideck for helicopter operations to facilitate the transfer of personnel and supplies.
  • Communications: Advanced communication systems for seamless coordination with onshore support and other maritime traffic.

These are general specifications of an FPSO like SENDJE BERGE. Specific parameters can vary based on the operational requirements and retrofits or upgrades that have been made over the life of the unit. Always refer to the latest technical documentation and operational manuals for the most up-to-date and detailed information.
