History
The ship was designated as a single well oil production vessel (SWOPS) when it was built for BP by Harland and Wolff in 1986-1988.
Processing plants, flares and risers including undersea connections designed and purchased by Matthew Hall Engineering (award contract November 1984), MHE also provides construction assistance and commissioning of oil production facilities. Original specifications for ships are as follows:
- Production capability - 15,000 barrels of oil per day, 10,000 barrels of water produced per day, 6 million standard cubic meters of gas per day
- Production trains - 1 train, 2 stages, first stage separator 17 barg
- Storage capacity - 318,000 barrels
- Accommodation alive - 45 anchored
The ship was originally designed for generic North Sea wells, although this was then determined for Cyrus oil field in Block 16/28 in the North Sea England sector. Then he served in Donan's field. MV Seillean was sold by BP in 1993 for Reading & amp; Bates. When the Brazilian oil company Petrobras decided to develop the Roncador field, a four-year charter for Seillean was signed. In 1997-1998, Seillean was upgraded and arrived in Brazil in December 1998.
After acquisition Reading & amp; Bates by Transocean, the ship was acquired by Frontier Drilling in 2002. He was transferred to the Jubarte field. In February 2006, the ship began operations at Golfinho Petrobras Field operated in Espirito Santo Basin off the coast of Brazil. In 2007, Seillean was transferred to Pipa 2 oil field.
In June 2010, the Seillean FPSO was contracted for oil collection and processing at Prospect Macondo to handle the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
With the purchase of Frontier Drilling in 2010, FPSO Seillean was acquired by Noble Corporation. He renamed Noble Seillean and his flag was converted from Panama to Liberia.
Seillean was sent to go to Alang India on September 26, 2015.
Description
FPSO Seallean is a dynamically positioned ship of production, storage and demolition of monohull. He is classified by Lloyd's Register of Shipping as 100A1 Oil Processing Tanker. Seallean is equipped with flares, two cargo handling cranes, a processing plant inside the hull, tower completion, and crew accommodation. The vessel has a capacity of 79,600 tons, a capacity to process up to 20,000 barrels per day (3,200 m 3 /d), and to store up to 306,000 barrels (48,700 m 3 ) of oil. The ship's length is 249.7 meters (819 feet), 37 meters (121 feet) wide, and 20.5 meters (67 feet) deep. He can operate in a water depth of 2,000 meters (6,600 feet). The vessel was equipped with a 29 helideck by 27.5 meters (95 by 90 feet).
Seillean is powered by a hybrid system of three Ruston gas turbines of 3.3 MW each, and three MAN diesel generator generators each 4.2 MW. It is operated in such a way that when gas fuel is available from production operations, the gas turbine generator produces electricity. When gas fuel is not available, diesel-driven generators provide power, which is equipped by a gas turbine generator operating on diesel oil.
Seillean has the following production facilities:
- 26,500 barrels per day (4,210 m 3 /d) processing plant. The maximum oil production is 25,000 barrels per day (4,000m 3 /d) and the maximum produced water handling capacity is 15,000 barrels per day (2,400 m 3 /d).
- Storage and transport facilities for 310,000 barrels (49,000 m 3 ) oil.
- Riser 6-5/8 "that can connect to the subsea wellhead.
Crude oil is pumped from a processing plant into six cargo oil tanks. During the 1998 upturn, an installed offtake reel system made it possible to deliver cargo to a dynamically placed shuttle tanker.
