Shell Penguins Floating Production Storage and Offloading
Executive Summary
Shell selected Fluor to perform the engineering, procurement and fabrication of Shell's Penguins floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the North Sea. The FPSO would be designed to operate continuously for 20 years without dry docking, helping to extend the life of the Penguins oil and gas field.
Client's Challenge
Shell produced the Penguins offshore oilfield using facilities on their Brent Charlie platform. As the Brent platforms were scheduled for decommissioning, an alternate method of production in the Penguins oil and gas fields was required.
Shell selected an FPSO for continued development. The FPSO would have a production capacity of 45,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day with storage capability of up to 400,000 barrels and would incorporate a Sevan hull design.
Fluor's Solution
Fluor had full responsibility for the design, procurement, fabrication and delivery of the pre-commissioned FPSO to the North Sea. The project would be led by Fluor's Manila, Philippines, office, integrating Sevan into the team. Fabrication would be carried out in China.
Utilizing our offshore experience and engineering, procurement and fabrication capabilities in the Asia Pacific region, we developed a cost-effective execution approach to deliver the FPSO. Award of this project followed our successful delivery of Shell's Malampaya Phase 3 Project in the Philippines.
Conclusion
Fluor provided engineering, procurement and fabrication for Shell's Penguins FPSO vessel. The FPSO would extend the life of the Penguins oil and gas field in the North Sea.
