TechnipFMC Grabs BP FPSO Design Contract

to unlock the full potential of this important project.” The initial subsea infrastructure connects the first four wells consolidated through production pipelines leading to a FPSO vessel. From here liquids are removed and the export gas is transported via a pipeline to the floating liquid natural gas (FLNG) hub terminal where the gas is liquefied. The Tortue/Ahmeyim Field Development is located in the C-8 block off the shore of Mauritania and the Saint-Louis Profond block offshore Senegal. The Tortue discovery was made by Kosmos Energy, which farmed down its investment to BP in

United Kingdom. The initial subsea infrastructure connects the first four wells consolidated through production pipelines leading to a floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel. From here liquids are removed and the export gas is transported via a pipeline to the floating liquid natural gas (FLNG) hub terminal where the gas is liquefied.

Shell plans to eliminate the need for some components on deck by extending eight 1-m-diameter pipes to a depth of 150m in order to pump frigid seawater up to help cool the gas – 50 million liters (50,000 cubic meters an hour.)

MTR 100: Royal Dutch Shell

Courtesy of its investment in the world’s first Floating liquid natural gas (FLNG) facility, a structure which is longer than four football fields, as heavy as 6 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and almost as tall as the Taipei 101 skyscraper, costing an estimated $11 to $13 billion and essentially turning the maritime and energy world’s upside down, Royal Dutch Shell PLC earns a much deserved spot on the MTR100. As Shell moves the LNG processing out to sea, it incorporates more than its fair share of subsea technologies. FLNG Prelude will measure at 488 x 74 m, and it will clock in at 600

Market Improving for German Equipment Suppliers

and in particular reliability, availability and quality are called for here in a rather conservative market,” Nürnberg stressed. The ideas of German companies for environmental and safety standards also give them a considerable competitive advantage precisely in this market. Liquid Natural Gas – propulsion on the oceans Over 90% of transport services worldwide are by sea. Environmental protection represents a key factor in maritime transport, and the current marine propulsion systems are much more energy-efficient than any land or air transport. Pollutant emissions can be

Gracing the cover of the June 1, 1957 edition was a “Huge Oil Drilling Barge” the Margaret which was one of the largest ever built at 300 ft. long, 200 ft. wide and 93 ft. high, capable of an operating depth of 65 ft. Margaret was built by Alabama Dry Dock & Shipbuilding Company for the Ocean Drilling and Exploration Company, New Orleans.

The History of Offshore Energy

deposit that stretches across parts of Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, is said to be the largest shale reserve in the world. LNG is attracting a lot of attention, and a lot of investment. Shell, once again, is at the forefront here, with plans to launch Prelude, one of four super-sized Floating Liquid Natural Gas (FLNG) production facilities currently under construction around the world. Prelude will be 488m long and 74m wide; fully loaded it will weigh about 600,000 tons. Once towed in 2017 to its destination off the coast of Western Australia, it will be moored in 250m deep water, where it will
