Krylovsky State Research Centre has developed a concept of the offshore ice-resistant floating platform with disconnectable mooring system using spider buoy for operations in very harsh environment in the Arctic, the company said in its press release.
The floating platform is designed for receiving crude oil from subsea drilling systems, its storage and further offloading onto oil tankers.
The platform has enough room for equipment and storage of crude oil. The platform is able to operate at depths of 150 to 400 meters, with the minimum operating temperature of 45 C°. The hull shape helps reduce the impact of the ice fields and motions. The platform's propulsion system enables its maneuverability and dynamic positioning.
General characteristics: Dmax - 120,0 m, depth H - 56,5 m, max draft T - 36,5 m, ice draft - 33.0 m, light drought - about 130,000 tonnes, displacement max - about 260,000 tonnes, crude oil volume production - about 15,000 cbm / day, cargo tanks capacity - about 115,000 cbm. Crew and personnel: 95 (for regular operations) and 180 (in pre-commissioning period), endurance – 30 days (on fuel, ship stores, etc.) and about seven days for offloading crude oil.
