Abstract

The Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels in harsh environment are often vulnerable to green water. Green water is the unbroken waves which overtop the bow, side or stern part of the deck of the floating offshore structure. It occurs when the relative motion between the vessel and the wave exceeds the freeboard. Green-water occurrence could lead to deck flooding and damage to deck-mounted equipment. It is therefore necessary to consider the vulnerability of the floating vessel to green water in the design stage. The objective of this research is to determine the optimal principal dimensions of FPSO vessel necessary to prevent or mitigate the effects of green water even in extreme wave environmental conditions. In order to achieve this, the effects of extreme environmental loads on the vessel have been evaluated in terms of the maximum responses in heave and pitch modes of motion. Furthermore, an interactive programme, the ProGreen has been designed to optimise the principal particulars based on the response and freeboard exceedance analyses for the required storage capacity of the FPSO. This design technique helps to prevent or reduce the green water occurrence, ensures good performance during operation and increases the level of safety and operability of the vessel even in extreme wave conditions.

Abstract

The oil and gas exploration and production activities in deep sea are now on a steady increase globally. Therefore, it is necessary to design a cost effective and safe system for these operations. The main objective of this research is to design a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel suitable for operation even in extreme meteorological and oceanographic conditions. In order to achieve this, the effects of extreme environmental loads on the vessel have been evaluated in terms of the maximum responses in surge, heave and pitch modes of motion. Furthermore, an interactive programme, the Principal Dimensions Programme (PD Prog) has been designed to accurately evaluate and optimise the principal particulars based on the required storage capacity and response analyses. Results show that the vessel length, which is directly proportional to the cube root of the cubic number (the overall volume), is a measure of the critical wavelength. Close to the critical wavelength in extreme metocean condition, the vessel could be subjected to several billions Newton meter of Wave Bending Moment. This design technique, in addition to the numerous useful data obtained, helps to ensure good performance during operation and so reduces downtime, and increases uptime, safety and operability of the vessel even under extreme metocean conditions.
