The complex transition from an EPS to a FFD comprised coordinating the arrival and mobilization of a new FPSO, demobilizing an operating one, and in the meanwhile, fill the gaps during...

... Abstract This paper discusses the project of disconnecting the Fluminense FPSO's mooring lines to enable the platform's tow to its recycling yard in Denmark. The Fluminense FPSO was moored by a system of nine anchoring lines spread into three clusters, all connected to the platform's swivel...

... of installing a capture plant in an FPSO. Here it is worth highlighting the strategy mentioned above of contracting a conceptual project for each case and, subsequently, deepening the basic design study of two cases from previous ones. The Work Package (WP) for the first phase has been named WP 1.1 to WP...

... Bijupirá and Salema (BJSA) are offshore fields in the Campos Basin of Brazil, approximately 250 km (155 mi) east of Rio de Janeiro. Discovered in 1990, an early production system was in place from 1994 to 2000. In 2000, a contract was awarded to develop the fields, selecting a converted FPSO...

... contracts as soon as FID milestone was achieved. The project introduced the first high-capacity FPSO of Petrobras (225.000 bpd of oil and 12.000.000 Sm3/d of gas) and novel technologies through its unit e.g. the first leased unit with closed flare concept. Other initiatives seeking for decarbonization...

These budgets, named Authorization for Expenditures (AFEs), were approved by the discipline managers and the project manager and authorized for execution in the FID. These AFEs were built to reflect the main contractual packages for correct cost...

... Abstract Mooring systems are typically designed to secure floaters in position (within prescribed limits). For floating production platforms considering the FPSO type, the prescribed limits are usually the safe excursion limits for adjoining structures rigidly connected to the FPSO...

... Abstract This paper examines the regulatory aspects of the Bijupira & Salema Decommissioning Project, developed by Shell in offshore Brazil. The project involves the decommissioning of the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit and subsea systems, and the permanent...

... Abstract The objective of this paper is to navigate through the preparatory works for the FPSO disconnection operations, including flushing the subsea system and isolation of the wells/XTs (Christmas Trees). The BJSA subsea system comprises three production manifolds, each connected to the FPSO...
