Deltamarin has signed a contract with Bumi Armada for the basic design of a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) unit.
The move comes after Bumi Armada secured a contract to supply the FPSO to operate on EnQuest's Kraken field, in the UK sector of the North Sea.
Deltamarin had earlier provided Bumi Armada with technical support for the conversion of an existing oil tanker into an FPSO in the front-end engineering design (FEED) phase.
The FEED phase included development of a robust FPSO design for the harsh North Sea environment that fulfils the UK rules and regulations in all aspects.
The purpose was to ensure safe and environmentally sound conversion and operation as well as a design based on cost effective solutions.
Deltamarin’s present scope of work covers the further development of the FEED phase material into a class approved full basic package including naval architecture, structural and strength analysis, steel outfitting, marine/utility and HVAC, accommodation, HSE and electric & instrumentation.
The turret-moored FPSO will have a storage capacity of 600,000 bbl. The vessel is 285.41m-long and 50m in breadth.
The total contract value of Deltamarin’s basic design work, to be carried out over an estimated period of six months, is around € 3.6 million.
“This contract further strengthens Deltamarin’s position as a recognized offshore oil & gas engineering contractor for owners and operators, delivering safe and reliable vessel designs with high integrity for the harshest offshore environments”, says Mr Rami Hirsimäki, Director, Oil & Gas at Deltamarin.
