OUR COMPANY LMC

ELEVEN ExTERNAL TURRETS have been designed by LMC to date, with three more currently under development.

LMC TURRET MOORING

TURRET MOORING SYSTEMS: LMC IS A LEADING DESIGNER OF ExTERNAL TURRET MOORING SYSTEMS The Bualuang oilfield, situated offshore Thailand, is

operated by Salamander Energy and has been producing since 2008. Early in 2013, LMC was awarded an EPC

contract by Teekay Offshore for supply of the Turret and Mooring System for the Suksan Salamander FSO. LMC scope

also comprised geotechnical survey investigation, site metocean data assessment, and vessel integration design. In addition, LMC

designed and supplied the complete process swivel assembly, with an electrical slip ring provided to LMC specification.

The Suksan Salamander FSO is permanently moored by an LMC external cantilever turret, allowing the vessel to weathervane 360 degrees in 60m

water depth. The riser system comprises one export water (6”), one import production (6”) and a spare production (6”) riser. The FSO storage capacity is

480,000 barrels with peak production at the rate of 20,000 barrels per day.The turret is designed ABS class, and to withstand a maximum

environmental condition of 7.5m significant wave height. The unit is initially designed for 15 years’ service life without dry-docking.

The turret was fabricated in the EMAS-owned SOFEL shipyard in Vietnam, and delivered to the vessel conversion yard in China at the

end of 2013 for integration on to the FSO early in 2014.The Suksan Salamander FSO was installed at the Bualuang field

in mid-2014, and has been producing successfully since then.

SUKSAN SALAMANDER FSO, BUALUANG FIELD


LMC designed the complete turret mooring system, which was built in the EMAS-owned SOFEL shipyard in Vietnam. The FPSO, renamed

“Perisai Kamelia” was hooked up in july 2013. The FPSO is capable of handling 100 MMscfd of gas, 1000bpd of condensates and 500bpd of water. The Early Production System was based on the redeployment of the Lewek Arunothai, an existing Floating

Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility owned by EMAS. The FPSO was converted to include an external

turret mooring system, and is moored in the vicinity of the Well Head Platform in approximately 55m of water.

LMC also designed and supplied the complete swivel stack for the turret, comprising in-house designs for

the toroidal and axial process swivels, and a low voltage slip ring provided by Trolex of the UK.

ENI – AQUILA FPSO, AdrIAtIc, ItALyLMC designed for Saipem (an ENI Company) a large external bow-mounted column turret mooring system for use with a converted Aframax size Floating Production Storage Offloading vessel. The turret accommodates 3 import risers, 3 gas lift risers and 3 umbilicals. It also includes a chain jack system to pull in the mooring lines and risers, allowing full flexibility for future riser additions that are often required for operations on an FPSO. Construction commenced in Q2 2009, and the vessel was deployed offshore in Q1 2012. The mooring system is designed for a water depth of 815m. Stationkeeping is by way of a chain-wire system to account for the high water depth, using a 4 x 2 mooring system configuration, and is capable of surviving conditions including 8.8m waves. The Aquila turret and mooring system is Classed by RINA.

LMC tUrrEt MOOrING


The World’s first permanently moored FSRU was installed in August 2013. LMC designed this external

turret for use on a converted LNG carrier with a capacity of 137,000m3. The turret structure is based on that for the Farwah FPSO, with modifications to allow for the configuration of the LNG vessel. The design includes

large capacity gas swivels with flexibility for optical and electrical paths. The FSRU is an LNG receiving terminal located

in open sea 12 miles offshore Livorno (Tuscany) in a water depth of 120m. The mooring is designed for an environmental condition

including 8.2m waves. The turret system comprises a 6 x 1 mooring configuration. The system is Classed by RINA.

OLt – LIVOrNOMEdItErrANEAN, ItALy

During 2008 and 2009 LMC designed an external turret mooring for Vinashin Offshore Industries. The turret was constructed in Nam Trieu Shipyard, Hai Phong, Vietnam for the PTSC FSO “Bach Ho”. The vessel operates in the Bach Ho field on the continental shelf of Vietnam in the South China Sea, 200 miles from shore. This was the first FSO built inside Vietnam and a significant project for entry into emerging markets there. It is a new build tanker with a displacement of 150,000 dwt. The FSO was installed and first oil reached in November 2010. The FSO has a cantilever turret system with a 9 mooring line asymmetric mooring pattern to allow for the seasonal directionality of the monsoons. LMC also performed the detailed design of the riser system, comprising of two bonded risers coupled together. Due to the large currents experienced in the region a riser tethering system was required. The turret and mooring system was Classed by ABS.

M3NErGy – cPOc FSO, MALAySIA

In 2008–2009 LMC designed an external turret mooring system to attach to the bow of the tanker Difko Susanne for M3nergy. The Floating Storage Vessel was renamed the Ratu Songkhla upon completion. The FSO is installed in 50m water depth at the JDA Block B-17, offshore Malaysia. The operator

is Carigali-PTTEPI Operation Company Sdn Bhd (CPOC). The turret mooring system comprises a 6 leg chain mooring system, capable of

holding the vessel on station for a 5.1m Hs cyclonic environment. The turret system is similar to the nearby, LMC designed, Carigali-Triton Operating Company (CTOC) FSO. Processed hydrocarbon

fluids come through a single 8” riser and axial swivel to the vessel, the latter also being designed and supplied by LMC.

The turret and mooring system was Classed by ABS.

In August 2001 LMC secured a contract with Doris Engineering of Paris for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of an external turret mooring system. The turret was designed to fit the bow of a new-build 900,000bbl Floating Production Storage & Offloading vessel owned by Exmar Offshore, Belgium, and built at the Izar-Fene yard in Spain. The FPSO receives oil from a field offshore Libya operated by Compagnie Petroliere Total Libye (CPTL) which was the Libyan subsidiary of TotalFinaElf. The FPSO has been in operation since 2003. The turret was moored using a 3 x 3 all chain arrangement in a water depth of 83m. The turret includes a single 10” production riser and HV power cable. The turret and mooring system is capable of remaining on station during an 8.8m storm environment. The LMC design was the first of its kind for the company and allows the turret to be delivered to the hull fabrication yard as a fully commissioned item, thus splitting work between the hull and turret fabrication yards that can be geographically remote from one another. These advantages have been well publicised in the technical press. The turret and mooring system was Classed by Bureau Veritas.

In 2000 a contract was entered into with Shell Exploration in The Hague to design and procure components for an external turret mooring system for the 330,000

dwt Shell tanker “Lanistes”. After completion of LMC’s design in London and procurement jointly between LMC and Shell of

the specialist components for it, the turret was fabricated in Sembawang’s shipyard in Singapore. It was installed on the vessel renamed “Soorena”. The Floating Storage Unit was connected to the mooring system offshore Iran in

November 2001 under LMC supervision. It was then handed over to the operators of the field, the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC). The Soorena served the Soroosh

Oilfield and also received oil from the Nowrooz Field. The combined production forthese two fields placed them amongst the largest offshore fields in the world. The turret

mooring system consists of an 8 x 2 all chain mooring in 46m water depth. The FSU also includes a novel ‘double wave’ riser arrangement to accommodate the shallow water and large excursions. The basic design of the riser system was performed by LMC and incorporates 2 x

15” unbonded risers joined over their length. The Soorena was replaced at the field by a larger FSU in 2010, after 10 years successful production. The Soorena was Classed by Lloyds.
