Enhanced turret mooring system for harsh environment operation
Framnaes Engineering AS together with Norsk Hydro AS have developed an enhanced turret mooring system based on proven of the shelf technology for permanent moored production ships with high oil and gas production rates and multi production risers and umbilical systems suitable for harsh weather and North Sea type environmental conditions. The main elements in the turret named FETurr are patented. The design described in this document is for an imaginary field with a production rate of 12000sM3 accommodating 12 risers, however the configurations can be adjusted to fields with more complex subsea systems and higher/lower number of wells. Designs have been performed for up to 24 risers, 9 umbilicals and 12 mooring lines.
