The Application of FPSO in Oil and Gas Exploitation

Abstract:

The far-flung ocean has abundant resource and the exploitation area of ocean oil and gas is developing from offshore to deepwater and ultra-deepwater following the increase demand for oil and gas resource. Therefore, one of the floating structures for deepwater exploitation is FPSO. The yaw of FPSO is more important problem to solve. This paper use Hydrostar to compute the RAOs, 1st-order and 2nd-order force of FPSO. A comprehensive review is introduced about the research on FPSO hydrodynamic in the world, including the coupling hydrodynamic analysis of deepwater FPSO with the mooring system. The results indicate that the FPSO’s 1st-order force and moment is a little large, however, the RAOs and 2nd-order force and moment are good. The FPSO with single point mooring system can control the displacement of FPSO effectively.
