Our business Products &Technologies Clearer outlook with vapour recovery Reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during oil loading operations offshore and onshore has increasingly been arequirement of the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT) and international environmental agreements. Aker Solutions delivered StatoilHydro’s new oil vapour recovery plant at Mongstad, which meets the requirements set by the SFT. In June 2006, Aker Solutions signed acontract for the design and delivery of aVOC unit to the Mongstad terminal. These systems reduce the discharge of environmentally hazardous substances and significantly reduce the loss of valuable energy resources through the vaporisation of oil. In addition, they reduce the safety risks of distributing and handling oil vapour. Delivery was achieved in June 2008. The new VOC plant captures crude oil vapours, which are then purified and piped back into the ship’s hold as oil components in liquid form. The plant has recently encountered some regularity issues in relation to the stability of its operations which are now being overcome. The plant’s peak capacity is 36 000 cubic metres of vapour per hour. Itrecovers at least 90 percent of the non-methane VOC emissions that were previously released to atmosphere, which reflects positively on the environment. The plant actively recovers vapours from two jetties simultaneously. The RamWinch, an on-vessel mooring system, was developed in 1997 and isdesigned asanalternative to conventional rotating winches. Several systems have been delivered for various floater applications. Well positioned drilling equipment West Taurus, adeepwater semisubmersible, was delivered to our customer Seadrill aweek ahead of schedule in early November 2008. The rig was built at the Jurong Shipyard in Singapore and is now in Brazil whereitisexpected to commence drilling operations for Petrobas in February 2009. The first rig to commence drilling operations in Brazil with the new generation Aker Solutions drilling package, West Taurus is contracted to Petrobas under asix year agreement. West Taurus represents a major construction milestone for the Jurong Shipyard, Aker Solutions and the owner. The scope of work for Aker Solutions included acomplete drilling equipment package including drilling equipment, stateof-the-art control systems, blow out preventer/marine riser system, management, engineering and commissioning. In 2008 we successfully delivered seven drilling equipment packages including three jack-ups, three conventional semisubmersibles and one RamRig. Our strong order backlog for drilling equipment packages includes 11 for delivery in 2009, five for 2010 and afurther nine for 2011. West Taurus, an ultra deepwater semisubmersible drilling platform was the first rig to commence drilling operations in Brazil. 34 Aker Solutions annual report 2008
