KAOMBO NORTE – Mooring & Hook up

KAOMBO NORTE – Mooring & Hook up

KAOMBO NORTE – Mooring & Hook up

Location: Angola
Project Type : FPSO
Date : 2016

 

SCOPE OF WORK

Onshore activities prior FPSO departure from Singapore

Offshore activities once the FPSO has arrived on the KAOMBO field (Block 32) in Angola.

 

ONSHORE ACTIVITIES

The onshore activities will cover only mooring activities (mooring SITs). The following work will be performed.

  • TEST# 1 Lowering of one chain stopper with all fittings from transit position to mooring position (during FPSO sea trials, at sea offshore Singapore)
  • TEST# 2 Routing of pull in winch cable through chain stopper (during FPSO sea trials, at sea offshore Singapore)
  • TEST# 3 Chain handling cutting simulation (FPSO at quayside in Sembawang shipyard)
  • TEST# 4 Chain extraction out of turret (FPSO at quayside in Sembawang shipyard)

 

OFFSHORE ACTIVITIES

1.FPSO Mooring & SURF Assistance

Mooring

-Lowering of chain stoppers with all fittings from transit position to mooring position inside the lower turret

-Deployment and routing of pull-in winch cable through chain stopper

-Mooring line recovery inside the FPSO turret once transferred from installation vessel

-Mooring line tensioning

-Chain handling & cutting

-Extra length of chain extraction out of turret

 

SURF assistance

-SURF Equipment loading / unloading onboard FPSO from supply vessel

-SURF Equipment handling on deck from laydown area to turret

-SURF Equipment positioning and seafasteningwhen required

-Potential scaffolding erection upon requirement

 

2.Hook-up

-Crew Boat Landings (CBL) deployment

-Oil Offloading hose installation,

-Riser Spools Installation & Tie-ins -Riser ESDV valves installation

-Assistance to other FPSO installation activities as identified on site

-General rope access and rigging services onboard

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

KAOMBO is a multi-field hub, planned as a FPSO development involving two FPSO vessels designed to handle about 105 000 barrels per day of oil each and storing capacity of 300 000 bbl (oil barrel) each

The KAOMBO project is located in Block 32 offshore Angola in water depths up to 2 000 meters

It comprising 6 development areas

The engineering work started in Paris ( Leiden (the Netherlands) and Luanda ( with most of the offshore installation activities in 2016 The project is scheduled for completion in the first half of 2018
