Royal IHC Awarded Major Contract for Supply of FPSO Equipment for Yinson
Malaysian FPSO provider Yinson has awarded Royal IHC a contract for the supply of a tandem mooring & offloading system and a riser pull-in system. The equipment will be placed onto the Anna Nery floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel on behalf of Yinson.
The FPSO vessel will be installed around 150 kilometres off the Brazilian coast, in a water depth of 930 meters. The Anna Nery FPSO will be able to produce 70,000 barrels of oil and 4 million cubic metres of gas per day. The production start-up is scheduled for the years 2022 and 2023, The units will be operated and chartered for 25 years.
The innovative design of IHC’s offloading
and riser pull-in system minimises the space needed on board for storage. IHC has a proven track record in the delivery of over 20 turnkey systems of this type worldwide. The tandem mooring & offloading system and riser pull-in system will be delivered next year.
“We are proud to have been awarded this contract by Yinson for this significant project,” says Andre Merlino,
Royal IHC’s Executive Director Offshore. “This contract provides further evidence that IHC is firmly established as a reputable partner for the design and development of advanced equipment for the floating production market, we look forward to building what we hope will be a long-term partnership with Yinson by working collaboratively on this important project.”
C-Innovation Successfully Completes Stem
Clamp Installation on BP’s Mad Dog Spar C-Innovation, LLC (C-I), an affiliate of Edison Chouest Offshore (ECO) and its family of companies, has completed the installation of several stem clamps for BP beneath the Mad Dog Spar in the Gulf of Mexico, utilizing its subsea inspection, maintenance and repair (IMR) remotely operated vehicle (ROV) vessel, MV Dove.
This included armoring with Lexan polycarbonate, design of new manipulator mounting subframes to extend the reach of the manipulators by 12 in. and installation of enhanced manipulator controls systems. The project was a success and completed 10 days ahead of BP’s schedule.
Throughout the planning process, several risks were mitigated for C-I and BP assets by modifying the ROV.
Ryan Combs, Project Manager, C-Innovation, said, “C-I was engaged by BP early in the project lifecycle to provide input into the design of the subsea hardware and installation capabilities of the ROV, which would face limited access to the installation
location beneath the facility. The C-I project team engaged with the ROV operations groups, offshore managers and tooling group in order to evaluate the risks involved with the execution of the project and ultimately secured a successful outcome.”
Adam Kluge, BP ARP, said; “C-I overcame some complex demands with a challenging method of installation in very tight working quarters within the structure and did so safely, with great skill, in half the anticipated timeframe. The success of the execution was directly attributable to excellent teamwork and communication throughout each phase. We are very fortunate to work with C-I on our projects. They contribute an excellent work ethic, great interpersonal skills and are adept at creating a team out of a group of individuals.”
