Shell UK Exploration and Production, operating in the UK sector of the North Sea on behalf of Shell and Esso, have recently installed and commissioned a Submerged Turret Loading (STL) system for oil storage and evacuation from the Auk, Fulmar, Gannet and Clyde fields. The STL system replaced the recently abandoned Fulmar Floating Storage Unit (FSU) as a temporary oil evacuation system, prior to the decision being taken on the long term strategy for oil evacuation in the central North Sea. The STL system is presented in this paper, covering the vessel and the mooring system, the vessel modifications that were necessary to meet UK specific safety legislation and the operating experience to date.
