This book presents the conceptual design of an FPSO which suits the
parameters of a specific oil field. It has been divided into five
sections. They are - Vessel selection, Tanker refurbishment and
conversion, Topsides selection, Mooring and Hydrostatic and
Stability checks. A Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) is proposed as
the desired vessel. Internal mooring system is selected to deal
with extreme weather. Suitable tanks have been modeled to provide
desired storage capacity. Major aspects associated with tank
renovation and conversion has been discussed. Simplified
calculations for steel renewal and typical total required volume of
steel have been presented. In designing topsides three major
requirements has been fulfilled. For mooring system design, the
applied standard was API-RP-2SK. For Hydrostatic and stability
calculation, a model of the proposed FPSO has been developed.
Damage statical stability analysis is performed for full flooding
damage of six different compartments. Finally Some recommendations
are provided at the end of the report regarding further improvement
of the proposed Design.
