SPAR

Technip has a long established trackrecord in deepwater Oil & Gasdevelopment with the delivery of 14Spar platforms to-date. Technip Sparshave been deployed in a water depthrange of 590 2,382 metres using bothdry and wet tree completions. Lowmotions also make it excellent forsupporting Steel Catenary Risers (SCRs).The Spar technology continues toevolve with new innovations for:

Ultra harsh environments in theNorthern North SeaIce resisting structures and mooringsfor the Arctic region Condensate storage for remote gasfield developmentsOpen sea floatover installation oflarge topsides

Deep draft semi-submersible platform andEDP

Technip has two deep draft semi-submersible design options forsupporting dry trees, both with thesame wetted hull design that provideslow motion performance.The Deep Draft Semi is configured withfloatover topsides, building on thesuccessful wet mate installation of thePetrobras P51, P52 and P56 semitopsides. Topside weights of up to25,000 tonnes are readily achievableusing this method.The Extendable Draft Platform (EDP)on the other hand lowers the wettedhull structure from its floating deckbox.This enables quayside integration ofthe topside facilities with the hullstructure. Topside weights of up to50,000 tonnes are achievable using thisintegration method.A small scale unmanned EDP has beendesigned for use as an ocean sciencemeasurement buoy and, slightly larger,as a control buoy, supplying electricaland hydraulic power and controls toremote subsea developments.

Technip hasdeveloped severaltechnologies fordry tree units.

TLP

In water depths up to 1,500 metres, theTensioned Leg Platform (TLP) offers acost-effective platform for supportingdry trees. Technip has worked withexperienced TLP designers to developits own conventional TLP design. Market ready designs are available forSouth East Asia that can utilise TenderAssisted Drilling (TAD). Designs arebeing prepared for the Gulf of Mexico(GoM) incorporating full drilling. Thesedesigns can be readily adapted to otherregions.

Technip has deliveredvarious technologiesfor wet tree units.

Wet treeunits

Semi-submersible platforms

Technip has designed the topsides for three Petrobras deepwater productionsemis for deployment offshore Brazil. Technip was also responsible for the engineering and supervision of the topside installations by floatover. The threeprojects, P51, P52 and P56 represent the largest topsides floatovers onto semi hullsin the world.

FPSO and FLNG

Technip continues to build on its experience of delivering world class FPSO projects.Its track record includes the largest FPSO topsides ever built, at 37,000 tonnes, for the Akpo FPSO. Other major references include Nkossa (30,000-tonne topsides FPS), Girassol (32,000-tonne topside FPSO) and Dalia(24,000-tonne topside FPSO).

Building on this FPSO experience, Technip is now a major player in the FLNGmarket with comparable topside weights and size. Technip has its own design fora 2 Mtpa Floating LNG vessel.

In mid-2009, Shell awarded Technip as leader of a consortium a 15-year MasterAgreement for the design, construction and installation of multiple FloatingLiquefied Natural Gas (FLNG) facilities. Technip and its partner are executing theFEED for Shells generic FLNG solution with a 3.5 Mtpa LNG capacity.

In late 2009, Petrobras awarded Technip and partners a lump sum contract for theFEED of a proposed FLNG unit as part of a design competition. This project wouldbe the first FLNG unit in Brazil and is to be designed for a capacity of approximately2.7 Mtpa of LNG.

In March 2010, Shell awarded the Technip-led consortium a further two contractsfor the FEED and EPCI (subject to FID) for its Prelude FLNG development offshoreAustralia.

In February 2011, Petronas awarded Technip and its partner a FEED contract for a1 Mtpa FLNG unit, offshore Malaysia.

Conventional platformsand TPG 500

Technip has a long track record ofdesigning conventional piled jackets,often for platforms where the topsideis installed by a floatover operation(e.g. Carigalis Cakerawala platform in S.EAsia and Exxons East Area platform inWest Africa both with 18,000-tonnetopsides). Recent awards include anEPCM contract for the first offshore gasplatform in Venezuela for PDVSA andan EPCI contract for new platforms andupgrades/refurbishment of existingoffshore platforms for KJOs Khafji fieldin the Persian Gulf.Technip has designed the 3 largest self-installing TPG 500 production jack-upplatforms in the world with topsidesweights of 17,000 tonnes (Harding),30,000 tonnes (Elgin) and 20,000 tonnes(Shah Deniz).

Installation method: high air gap floatover

As major Oil and Gas field develop-ments enter more challenging regionsof the world in terms of environment,so the envelope of floatover installa-tion needs to expand. High Air Gap(HAG) floatovers are required incyclone prone area of Asia Pacific,especially South East Asia and NorthWest Australia where storm designwave heights require particularly largeclearances between the topsides andsea level. Technip is designing one ofthe worlds largest HAG floatover plat-forms on the North West Australianshelf for Chevrons Wheatstone deve-lopment. The single integrated decktopsides is in excess of 35,000 tonneswith an underdeck clearance of over27 m from sea level.

Technip has designed and installed some ofthe largest fixed platforms in the world.

Installation method:Unideck

Technip pioneered the floatoverinstallation of large topside integrateddecks in the long period swellconditions offshore West Africa. Toovercome barge heave motions in thisregion, Technip developed the Unidecksystem of hydraulic jacks which can setthe deck down rapidly and preventrepeated shock loadings (that wouldoccur with ballasting alone). To-datewe have installed 4 large integrateddecks offshore West Africa (up to18,000 tonnes) using the Unideck jacksand over 15 floatover operations intotal worldwide.Unideck references: Cobo (Angola);Amenam 1 (Nigeria); East Area (Nigeria);Amenam 2 (Nigeria).

Arctic oil & gasdevelopments

As drilling activity and Oil and Gasdevelopments move into more Arcticregions, Technip is developing thedesigns and design methods that canallow for safe exploitation of resourcesin ice prone areas. Current designs haveadapted Spars for applications inEastern Canada, far Northern Norwayand the Barents Sea offshore Russia.These designs can either resist verythick sheet ice or can routinelydisconnect and move out of the wayof icebergs.A state-of-the-art 3D continuummodelling tool (developed byDr. Ibrahim Konuk) provides solutionsto complex design problems involvingice scour, ice loadings on subsea andsurface facilities, permafrost degrada-tion and frost heave.Finally, Technip can transfer its expe-rience of designing artificial islands inthe Middle East into Arctic Regiondesigns.

Offshore winddevelopments

Combining the technologies from theoffshore industry and wind energy,Technip has delivered the substructurefor the worlds first full scale offshorefloating wind turbine: Hywind. Technip is working in partnership withVattenfall and AREG (AberdeenRenewable Energy Group) on theEuropean Offshore Wind DevelopmentCentre (EOWDC) in Aberdeen Bay forthe installation of up to 11 offshore windturbines. Technip, in association withNnuphar, Converteam and EDFEnergies Nouvelles has launched theVertiwind project to test a pre-industrialprototype of a vertical-axis offshorefloating wind turbine. Free of theconstraints related to the foundationsof fixed wind turbines, the Vertiwindconcept opens new perspectives forwind farms offshore in numerouscountries, notably in the Mediterraneanbasin, in Europe and the USA.

Building on their experience, Technips specialist engineers riseto the challenges of the 21st century: more extreme conditions,renewable energies, and technology transfer.

Local content delivery

Technip takes great pride in deliveringcritical projects through regionalorganisations that maximise localcontent. The Spar delivered for theKikeh field offshore Malaysia was builtentirely in Malaysia, the first Spardelivery outside the USA. Final assemblyof the Shah Deniz TPG 500 jackupproduction system was performed inthe Caspian. The three semi-submersiblefloating production systems forPetrobras were built in Brazil, the lastone achieving over 70% local content.Fabrication of bridges and flare for theEast Area 1A project was done in Nigeria.FPSO projects in Angola and Nigeriaintegrated locally-fabricated elementssuch as deck and sub-structures. Advanced technology can be madedeliverable in developing nationsthrough the efforts of Technips globalprocurement organisation and designersthat keep in mind the strengths of localfabricators.
