Concept Design of a New Non-Ship-Shaped FPSO

Abstract:

In order to give full play to the advantages of FPSOs in the development of offshore oilfields, a new non-ship-shaped FPSO concept named IQFP is put forward through intensive study on various factors affecting the performance of FPSOs. Then, the optimized IQFP general design of a project case is presented based on the IQFP concept. The intact stability and damage stability of the IQFP are calculated and checked according to IMO rules. The hydrodynamic performance in frequency domain is simulated using the three-dimensional potential flow theory and compared with that of a ship-shaped FPSO with similar tonnage. The results indicate that the IQFP has a large stability margin and more excellent hydrodynamic performance than the ship-shaped FPSO. Through the research of this paper, the excellent characteristic of the new FPSO concept IQFP is verified and the basis and foundation are provided for the further studies.
