I was fortunate to work on this thing sometime back in 2014-15 in a dry dock in Athens, Greece it had come back from Senegal coastline where it had been stationed for 1year. It was to undergo some major overhaul before leaving for Cyprus.

Ashek is awesome. That guy knows how to manage stress!

This is a Floating Production Storage Offloading facility and not a drilling rig. This sails to locations where offshore wells have been drilled and the wells are connected to it so the oil can be pumped into it.

@cwsmith7366

This is exactly right. Furthermore, this ship was contracted to Pemex because several of the wells in this basin were extracting a very heavy almost tar oil, which was plugging the long pipelines leading to shore. This ship is actually a mixing refinery, drawing from several wells that produce oil of various viscosities, and mixing/refining them in order to produce a finished product that can essentially be used around the world.

Exactly. It does not necessarily need to sail between locations, produced oil can also be shipped to shore using shuttle tankers. As far as the documentary is concerned, many FPSOs are upgraded old tankers. At USD 600 million, this is actually not that expensive. If you look at heavy lifting vessels (Pioneering Spirit of Allseas, or the Sleipnir of Heerema) or floating LNG plants (Shell's Prelude) you are not talking about millions, but about billions. These are, however, not converted vessels, but new builds.

@Pawan kohad Nope, it is not a refinery. It is basically a floating buffer. It produces oil from the wells and stores it. The oil then is tranported to shore, either via a pipe connected to the FPSO or by using shuttle tankers. The oil is refined in shore facilities (refineries).

sote ful It’s all relative... At one point, the Canadian oil sands wouldn’t have been considered a viable and profitable source of oil. Then the technology and economic pressures changed, and now it is. Same thing with deep off shore oil drilling, and fracking. Most of the easier, cheaper oil, is not as plentiful as it once was (I think).

@jonnda

sote ful “depends on methods” See that’s what I mean. It used to be that some of the oil far off shore in the golf of Mexico (or insert other harsh location) wasn’t viable. Then new oil rig technology and methods were invented, and the economic pressure was there. This is in contrast to getting it out of a well in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Texas, which is a far simpler and cheaper well to make in comparison.

Ce concept de slef-propelled permet de rendre les équipements plus mobiles.

This is not a drilling rig. the wells are already drilled. All it is, is a floating production facility. That stores and then pumps the oil to another ship. Being a Captain myself I would like to know about the propulsion that will keep it on location. Once it is connected to the flow lines. Is it just going to moor to the turret to the umbilical? I don't think that the pipelines are strong enough to hold that ship in place.

We have some Filipino dishes like noodles 👍

Nice documentary, but there's some glaring errors in the script. If you need someone to point out the difference between a drilling rig and an FPSO I am available if there's lunch involved.

The documentary title is misleading. The ship is more of a tanker than an oil rig.

I love the nature, how they protect the Eart from the Evil Human (those who doesn't respect Nature) and destroys all in its parth :)

I thought oil tanker ships were retired because the hull gets fatigued over the 20 years of work and are at risk of breaking apart in rough weather. I could be wrong though

JOHN BERDINI - Self Running Electric Motor/Generator,,,saving and storing BEMF using IGBT, Diode & Super Capacitor, no need charging station,,,,,

The rigs that got destroyed in Katrina, there was nothing short of moving them that could have stopped that… and they didn’t have time, this ship I don’t think could have drove away during Katrina, I don’t think much could have weathered those waves… I remember buoys that are anchored with giant chains, ripped off and tossed up on the barrier island during tropical storms, and the Mississippi gulf coast(not New Orleans) took the most damage, literally moved entire casinos hundreds of yards away and put 30+ feet of water on the coast, those waves probably were easily in the 40-50+ feet range offshore

It’s good to see them recycling otherwise watch “ship breakers of India” and you’ll see what happens after 20 years when a ship is served it time
