Annual Report 2010 - SBM Offshore

Report of the Board of Management
Petrobras, and also one of the most challenging in
terms of project execution bearing in mind the high
local content requirement for construction in Brazil.
The FPSO is the first the Company has sold to
Petrobras on a turnkey contract basis and is the first
time the Company has been contracted to build a vessel
for sale, to SBM Offshore specifications. Given
the success of FPSO P-57, both in design and cost,
Petrobras states the design of the unit will serve as a
model for future FPSOs intended for use in the Santos
Basin pre-salt area.
FPSO Pazflor Oil Loading System
The consortium SBM Offshore & APL (SBAP) is in the
process of finalising deliveries of hardware packages
for the Oil Offloading System for the Pazflor FPSO of
Total Exploration & Production Angola with the deepwater
CALM buoy and piles (APL scope), and the
Trelline TM rubber offloading hoses, the Fiber Optical
Cable and the interface connecting pieces (SBM
Offshore scope) being shipped to the mobilisation point
for installation offshore Angola. The installation will
be performed by the Company’s vessel, the Normand
Installer, and is split into two phases with final completion
scheduled for the second half of 2011.
FPSO Okha
FPSO Okha is a disconnectable FPSO which is being
delivered under a turnkey supply contract to Woodside
Energy Ltd. The FPSO Okha will replace the existing
FPSO Cossack Pioneer. The Okha was previously
operated by the Company as an FSO north of Sakhalin
Island for Sakhalin Energy Investment Company (SEIC)
in the summertime. The hull has now been upgraded
for the FPSO Okha. At the end of 2010, the hull refurbishment,
the conversion, and the integration of
process modules and the turret were all close to completion
with commissioning works ongoing in Keppel
shipyard. The FPSO Okha is scheduled to sail away
from the conversion yard during the first half of 2011,
after which it will be installed and commissioned in the
Cossack Wanaea Lambert Hermes (CWLH) development
offshore Australia.
62 SBM Offshore – Annual Report 2010
FPSO Skarv Turret
In March 2010, all the main turret sub-assemblies of
the Internal Turret for the BP Norge A.S. Skarv FPSO
were delivered to Korean construction yard, Samsung
Heavy Industries, for integration with the FPSO hull.
The Company mobilised a project team in Korea to provide
assistance for the integration and commissioning
activities. The Company will also provide assistance to
BP for the offshore installation of the FPSO in Norway
in 2011.
FPSO Quad 204 Turret
BP intends to upgrade its production facilities on the
UK Continental Shelf Schiehallion field by replacing the
existing FPSO with a new-build FPSO which is to be
moored at the same location using new anchors and
anchor lines. In June 2010, BP awarded the Company
a contract covering the Front End Engineering and
Design (FEED) and the Engineering, Procurement and
Construction (EPC) of the complete Turret Mooring
System. The Company started work on the FEED Study
in June 2010; full project sanction by BP and its partners
is expected later in 2011. The Quad 204 Internal
Turret is technically very challenging and will be one of
the most complex turrets ever built.
FLNG Turret
In August 2009, a framework agreement was signed
with Shell Global Solutions International BV for the
supply of Turret Mooring Systems for Shell’s Floating
Liquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facilities. The agreement
will run for up to fifteen years, and covers the
design, procurement and construction of turret mooring
systems for a series of Shell’s FLNG projects. In
December 2009, the Company began a FEED for the
development of a generic turret design and project
execution strategy as a subcontractor of Technip. This
generic FEED is ongoing, and is being complemented
with a project-specific FEED for the Prelude field offshore
Australia.
