Seismic Drilling Subsea Production Storage Transport
A Critical Component of Operator Infrastructure:
Shuttle Tankers are substituting pipelines in Deep Sea oil production
▪ Superior, more economical alternative with lower initial
investment in certain fields based on:
- Distance from infrastructure
- Water depth
- Seabed terrain
- Field size
- Field life
▪ Destination flexibility
▪ Less capital expenditures
▪ Lease and services contracts
▪ Mobility of “pipeline”
▪ Specially designed tankers with sophisticated loading system
and dynamic positioning systems
- Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems enable the vessel to stay on
location in high seas and in harsh environments
- >50% higher investment cost than conventional tankers
▪ Tender-based business drives newbuilds (versus speculative
ordering)
▪ Longer-term contracts
▪ Stricter standards and specialized crewing
Advantages vs. PipelinesKey Differences vs. Conventional Tankers
