SEVAN HUMMINGBIRD

• Latitude: 57.6968
• Longitude: -4.02757
• Offshore Terminal in Bahamas

Location: The Bahamas Bahamas

The SEVAN HUMMINGBIRD is not a traditional marine port but an offshore infrastructure asset often used in the oil and gas industry. Below is a general description based on typical features and specifications of similar structures, as specific details for SEVAN HUMMINGBIRD might vary.

General Description:

The SEVAN HUMMINGBIRD is a cylindrical floating offshore platform designed by Sevan Marine. It's primarily used for drilling, storage, and production activities in offshore oil and gas fields. Its unique circular design provides increased stability and operational efficiency compared to traditional ship-shaped FPSOs (Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading units).

Specifications:

1. Design and Structure:

   • Type: Cylindrical FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading Unit)
   • Dimensions:
     • Diameter: Typically around 60-80 meters.
     • Height: Approximately 30-50 meters above the sea level.
     • Draft: Usually varies but can be around 10-20 meters.
   • Hull: Single cylindrical design enhances stability in harsh sea conditions.

2. Capacity:

   • Production Capacity: Can handle various production capacities, often in the range of 60,000 to 120,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd).
   • Storage Capacity: Typically, it can store between 300,000 to 600,000 barrels of crude oil.

3. Infrastructure:

   • Processing: Equipped with facilities for crude oil separation, gas treatment, and water injection.
   • Accommodation: Living quarters for crew, which can house typically between 50 to 100 personnel.
   • Helideck: Available for helicopter operations to facilitate transportation of crew and equipment.
   • Mooring: Usually moored using an internal turret or other permanent mooring solutions to maintain its position.

4. Operational Features:

   • Dynamic Positioning: Some units may be equipped with dynamic positioning systems for enhanced station-keeping.
   • Loading/Offloading: Can be connected to shuttle tankers for offloading of crude oil via loading arms or offloading hoses.

5. Safety and Environmental:

   • Safety Systems: Firefighting, spill response systems, and other emergency protocols.
   • Environmental Controls: Designed to minimize environmental impact, including oil spill prevention and emissions controls.

6. Utilities and Support Systems:

   • Power Generation: Onboard generators, often powered by produced gas.
   • Water Management: Systems for water desalination and wastewater treatment.
   • Communication: Advanced communication systems for both operational and emergency uses.

Positioning and Deployment:

• Location: Operates offshore, likely within Bahamian Exclusive Economic Zone waters or other specified project areas.
• Deployment: Anchored on the seabed via mooring systems; can withstand harsh weather conditions and rough seas.

Use Case:

Primarily employed in offshore oil fields for the exploration, extraction, and preliminary processing of hydrocarbons before they are transferred to shore-based facilities or tankers.

Note:

For precise, updated, and detailed specifications, it is recommended to refer to official Sevan Marine publications, specific project documentation, or contact industry regulatory bodies and the operator responsible for deploying the SEVAN HUMMINGBIRD in the Bahamas.

Always consult verification from credible and up-to-date sources, especially for operational planning or investment purposes.
