Lloyd’s Register Consulting completed safety work packages for Aibel regarding an engineering and design contract for the Vette floating productions storage and offloading (FPSO) project.
The safety contracts cover quantitative risk assessments, human factors, layers of protection analysis, functional safety, emergency preparedness, additional computational fluid dynamic studies and flare studies using simulation technology.
The Vette is a Sevan type FPSO that will be owned and operated by Teekay Petrojarl and leased to Premier Oil Norway for use on the Vette field located in the Norwegian part of the North Sea. The hull and FPSO concept is provided by Sevan Marine. Production is anticipated to begin in 2019.
Vette is an oil field located 55km northwest of the Yme field. The field was awarded to Premier and partners in the 2006 APA licensing round, having originally been discovered in the 1970s. The discovery was successfully appraised during 2009.
“Highly competent teams have been established for these work packages and our cooperation between project teams is extensive," says Ingeborg Skjelkvåle Ligaarden, Lloyd’s project manager for quantitative risk assessments at. "“Through our multi-discipline capability we are able to deliver high-value advice and quality safety expertise providing a competitive solution to the client’s project.”
Premier is operator of the field with 50% interest in the Vette project, with Kufpec Norge (30%) and Tullow Oil Norge (20%).
