2.3. Detailed System Description
2.3.1. Cargo System

The well fluids from 16 satellite wells arrive at the FPSO via four production risers, two for the
Cascade field and two for the Chinook field. From the inlet riser and choke manifold, the
production fluids arrive at the topsides modules via two production headers, one for the Cascade
Field and one for the Chinook Field. There will also be a test header which is configured to allow
testing from any of the four production risers.
The CSU module is configured to have two parallel inlet trains, one for the Cascade Field and
one for the Chinook Field. Each train is designed for 50,000blpd (7,949m³/d) and consists of inlet
heating and three phase separation before the crude streams from both fields are combined for
further processing. Meters on the exit streams from the Cascade and Chinook inlet separators
provide allocation metering for the two fields. (See section 20 for Details)
After separation and stabilisation the crude oil is delivered from the M10 module to the cargo
tanks for storage and transfer to the shuttle tanker.
The cargo is loaded from the topside via an Integrated Automation and Control Systems (IACS)
controlled valve with an emergency shutdown (ESD) system, through a single deck line 10 inch,
(254mm) which leads to the direct loading lines to each of the seven pairs of cargo tanks,
numbered No.2 to No.7 port and starboard.
The system can be isolated to load only to the three sets of forward tanks or aft tanks by use of
the isolation valve forward or aft of the supply manifold from M10 module. Having both of these
valves open makes the system common.
Ballast operations can be carried out concurrently with the loading and off loading operations
(See System 52 for Ballast Operations)
The cargo system is designed for concurrent loading of stabilized crude oil from the topside
process facilities, off-loading and crude oil washing.
The anticipated maximum production is HOLD bbls/day (xxxm³/day) which equates to a flow rate
of HOLD bbls/h (xxxm³/h).
Export of crude oil is via a tandem off-loading system with a stern hose reel to a shuttle tanker of
up to HOLD xxxxxxxx mt size.
The mooring system will allow the FPSO to freely weathervane. In the event of adverse weather
conditions e.g. hurricane etc; the FPSO is designed to safely shut down the facilities, disconnect
the STP buoy (with risers, umbilical’s and mooring system) and sail away under its own power.
The export of the crude oil from the cargo tanks can be via any of the three electric driven
centrifugal cargo oil pumps, each of 11,332 bbls(1,800m³) capacity situated in the cargo pump
room, discharging along a stern deck line (20inch) via an IACS controlled valve with an ESD
system leading to a single stern off-loading hose reel.
Each cargo pump is connected to an automatic cargo stripping unit consisting of gas separators
and vacuum pumping unit. There are three main suction lines HOLD 2 inch (50mm) from the
tanks to the pumps.
The cargo oil pumping system is designed to discharge the cargo from the cargo oil tanks with
two pumps at a rate of no less than 550,000bbls (79,488m³) in 24 hours, which equates to a rate
of 22,916bbls/h (3,312m³/h). The third cargo pump will act as standby unit equal to approximately
1.5 x 150% capacity on the cargo pumping system.
Crude oil washing is accomplished by bleeding-off crude oil from the cargo pump discharge lines
to the tank cleaning machines via the tank cleaning line, or using dedicated cargo pump for tank
cleaning and educting if required.
The cargo lines can be drained using the crude oil stripping pump situated in the pump room,
discharging via the cargo oil stripping line 8inch (203mm) to No.6 or No.7 port cargo tanks. If
necessary, this stripping can be directed to the stern discharge hose reel.
Page 17 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
The cargo tanks are fully inerted during all cargo handling operations.
The bottom suction lines 20 inch (500mm) in the pump room can be interconnected on the pump
suction side through the sea suction crossover line 20 inch (500mm).
The discharge side of the cargo pumps can also be interconnected through a crossover line (18
inch), terminating in a high overboard discharge outlet on the starboard side and above the
deepest water ballast line. The overboard line has a sampling probe for the oil discharge
monitoring and control system and a flow meter sensor.
The tank cleaning main is also fed from this top crossover line 20 inch (500mm).
The slop tanks are interconnected by a leveling line 18 inch (457mm) and valves for cascading
for oil/water separation purposes. Both slop tanks have separate stripping suctions connected to
the cargo oil stripping pump and eductor crossover line. Both slop tanks are similarly arranged
with regards to pipeline and valves, and as such can be used as a back-up for each other. Under
normal operations the port slop tank is considered ‘dirty’ and the starboard slop tank as ‘clean’.
The crossover line on the cargo suction main and discharge main lines in the cargo pump room
are provided for the flexibility of cargo handling and tank cleaning with sea water. Similarly,
crossover lines are provided on the tank bottom lines with two valve separation.
Each cargo tank has the stripping suction with bell mouth situated in a well at the aft end of the
tank, while the main suction is fitted with a cone-type bell mouth.
HOLD In the event of valve failure, alternative arrangements are provided to discharge the
contents of individual tanks with a portable hydraulic-driven pump unit.
Both slop tanks are fitted with heating coils, with no heating provided for the cargo tanks. No
transfer of the slop tanks back to the topside is permitted.
Ballast is not carried in the cargo tanks under normal circumstances, but, if it is considered that
additional ballast in a cargo tank or tanks may be required during the ballast voyage, under the
conditions and provisions specified in Regulation 13 (3) of ANNEX I in MARPOL 73/78, such
ballast water can be handled by the cargo pumping and piping system.
Temporary arrangements are in place to permit the emergency transfer of contaminated ballast
into the cargo system.

2.3.2. Cargo Stripping System

Stripping of the cargo is performed by the three cargo pumps with an automatic stripping system,
two cargo stripping eductors and one cargo stripping pump.
Page 18 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
The cargo oil pumps are fitted with an individual automatic stripping system consisting of vacuum
pump, sealing water tank and gas separator. Gas and condensate from the automatic cargo
stripping system is extracted by means of the vacuum pumps.
One stripping eductor is installed to take suction from each of the cargo bottom lines, via the
eductor/stripping pump crossover, and discharging to No.6 or No.7 port cargo oil tanks. The
eductor drive can be supplied by any of the main cargo pumps.
The cargo stripping pump is used for discharging the contents of the cargo pump room bilge to
the port slop tank and No.6 port cargo oil tank, or directly overboard via the Oil Discharge
Monitoring System (ODME).
HOLD Manual control of the bilge suction and stripping pump discharge valve is fitted at upper
deck level.
The flushing of the floating hose will all also be carried out via a connection through valves 21-
BU-0724 and 21-BU-0730, flushing back into the port slop tank.

2.4. Measuring and Sampling
Cargo and slop tank levels, with high level alarms, are relayed to the Central Control Room
(CCR) by STaR Tank radar transmitters and are displayed on a CRT monitor. Ballast, fuel and
diesel oil tank levels are displayed in the CCR using electro-pneumatic type equipment. One
Hermetic 2” (50mm) seal valve is fitted to each cargo oil tank at the radar dome, and one
Hermetic 2” (50mm) seal valve to each slop tank. These seal valves provide hand-dipping points,
independent ullage checks, temperatures and oil/water interface using the MMC portable cargo
monitoring device. The seal valve allows connection and disconnection without having to broach
the inert gas in the cargo tanks. Sufficient hand-dipping points are fitted for checking the dryness
of the tank in accordance with the requirements of the IMO.
Incorporated in the Star Tank Radar system is an independent STaR high level (overflow) alarm
for 95% and 98% levels fitted to each cargo oil and slop tank. The alarm indicator panel is
situated on the cargo console, with indication of AC and DC power failure and failure reset button,
system on/off switch, accept alarm flash, accept horn and an LED indication for each cargo oil
and slop tank. Alarm indication on deck is given by an air operated horn and red indicator light
located at the midships area.
At the 95% level within the tank the high level alarm is activated and the following occurs: -
Alarm is activated – Flashing Light – HOLD

2.5. GUIDELINES
2.5.3. Cargo Receipt from the Topside Process
Overview
The stabilised and cooled crude oil flows to the hull from the topside oil separation section at an
operating temperature 122-131°F (50 - 55°C), (maximum HOLD 158°F (70°C)) via a 12 inch
product rundown line. The design peak flow rate of crude oil is HOLD xxxxxbbls/day
(xxxxm³/day); equivalent hourly maximum flow rate of crude oil is xxxxxbbls/h (m³/h) from the
topside process, which feeds directly down to the top distribution ring main lines.
Any cargo tank can be loaded from the tank branch lines and loading drop lines which terminate
between 10 and 13 feet below the deck level, the loading valves being hydraulically operated and
of the open/close type.
Lining-up the hydraulic remote cargo valves is carried out from the CCR by operating the valve
control HOLD mimic panel.
Each cargo tank can be loaded up to a maximum of 98% capacity with the ullage space above
the liquid level filled with inert gas at a slightly positive pressure. Excess pressure is vented along
the main inert gas and primary vent header.
Levels in the tank are measured by the HOLD STaR Tank Radar system which is also connected
to the IACS system. Ship’s stability is calculated with the on board stability computer with
automatic updates of temperatures applied to the tank volumes from the HOLD STaR Tank
Radar. An independent overflow alarm is fitted into each tank.
Multiple operations may be undertaken during loading, which may include discharge and tank
cleaning of tanks not being loaded and tanks isolated for maintenance. HOLD Loading may not
continue when the topside dehydration system has failed, which would cause the loading process
to be shut down and the loading valve to be operated by the ESD system.
During upset conditions, off-spec crude oil can be loaded into any cargo tank, which will be
received down the common loading rundown line; later removal of any settled water will be
directed to the slop tanks. Any off-spec crude oil with a higher than acceptable water content can
be routed to the slop tanks.
Any produced water will be received directly into either slop tanks, but excessive amounts of
produced water can be transferred to any cargo tank from the slop tanks should the need arise.

System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
Pre-Start Checks to Cargo Receipt from the Topside Process

The following is for loading to all the tanks.
• Confirm that the cargo and ballast plan is formulated, and that the vessel’s trim and
stability calculations have been checked.
• Confirm that the hydraulic supply is available to the deck.
• Confirm that the equipment is mechanically complete and that all of the associated work
permits have been signed off.
• Confirm that the control, monitoring, communications and display devices are functioning.
• Confirm that all manual valves are positioned correctly.
• Confirm that all spectacle blinds are correctly installed.
• Confirm that the cargo tank system has been fully purged with inert gas so that the
oxygen content is less than 5%.
• Confirm that the correct inert gas header valves are set.
• Confirm that the pressure/vacuum valves are correctly set and tested prior to operations
commencing.
• Confirm that the fire water ring main is operational.
• Confirm that the production from the field is on-line and ready to supply crude oil to the
tanks via the import rundown line.
• Confirm the ballast system is set up and ready to discharge the ballast as required.
Normal Start-up Procedure

The following systems should be in service prior to attempting any start-up operations:
• Power generation and distribution
• Utility air system
• Nitrogen purge system
• PCS
• ESD
• Fire & Gas system
The following pre-conditions must be satisfied prior to attempting any start-up operations:
• Verify that all permits required are properly completed and in place
• Verify that all maintenance on system equipment has been completed or otherwise noted
and logged
• Verify that spectacle blinds are in their correct operating positions
• Verify that all blind flanges have been leak checked
• Verify that all instrument isolation valves are open and vent valves closed
• Verify that system valves are positioned as shown in the normal operation valve table
a) Co-ordinate with the topside operator that cargo loading will take place, confirming that
the pre-start checks have been carried out.
b) Ensure that all personnel involved in the start-up operation or working in the vicinity are
aware that the crude oil system is to be started.
c) Open the selected tank for initial start.

As required No.2 tanks loading valves XV0863, XV0864
d) Open the supply valves from the rundown line to supply crude to the import tanks.
e) Confirm that cargo is entering the selected tank and that all safety checks are correct.
f) Observe that the inert gas valves are operating to maintain the tank pressure within the
set limits. (See section 64 Inert Gas System)
g) When stable operating conditions have been achieved, initiate the loading sequence to
the tanks, to conform with the loading plan.
h) Commence the deballasting operations in accordance with the loading plan (normally no
ballasting required).
i) Continue loading into the nominated set of tanks and as these approach topping-off level,
bleed-off into the next set of cargo tanks.
j) Topping-off the aft tanks first is an acceptable practice, advancing forward towards the
final tanks, it is important to ensure that the loading valves on the tanks are confirmed
closed when the correct ullage is achieved.
k) Close off No.4 tanks as the trimming tanks, leaving sufficient ullage to bleed into these
tanks as the other tanks reach their final ullages.
l) Create an appropriate stagger for controlled topping-off, remembering that before closing
off an individual tank, that there are sufficient remaining tanks open for the load rate.
m) Bleed-off the flow rate by partly opening No.4 tanks as topping-off the other tanks begins.
Further adjust the load rate as required.
n) Fully open No.4 tanks before closing the last set of tanks.
o) On completion of the cargo loading, leave the final finishing tank open to drain down the
lines.
NOTE
It is important to communicate with the topside operator prior to topping-off, the relevant details
regarding the vessel’s remaining quantities and remaining time required
Controlled Shutdown Procedure

a) Ensure that all personnel involved in the loading operation or working in the vicinity are
aware that the crude oil system is to be closed; informing the topside operator that
loading operation is to be closed down.
b) Once the topside operator confirms loading has stopped and flow has ceased, close the
supply valves from the rundown line.
c) Confirm that flow has stopped, then close the tank valves.
d) Monitor that the inert gas tank pressure within the set limits.

3. Cargo Export
3.1. General Overview
Prior to arrival of the shuttle tanker, a number of communications take place between the shuttle
tanker and the FPSO. These are centred around the International Safety Guide for Oil Tankers
and Terminals (ISGOTT) and the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF) ‘Ship to
Ship Transfer Guide (Petroleum)’.
Particular attention should be given to:
• Emergency shutdown procedures
• Crude oil washing pre-arrival checks
• Manning levels for various procedures
• Oil spill response procedures
• The stern off-loading system
• The stern mooring system
• Prevailing weather and sea state, with subsequent forecasts
A tandem offloading system is provided, capable of handling non-dedicated tankers (shuttle

tankers) up to HOLD Suezmax (150,000mt) size in accordance with OCIMF requirements. The
expected discharge time excluding mooring is HOLD 48 hours with the warranted discharge rate
of crude oil no less than 550,000bbls (79,488m³) in 24 hours, which equates to a rate of
22,916bbls/h (3,312m³/h). Two cargo pumps have the ability to supply this rate.
The export of all the cargo should be carried out in close co-operation with the shuttle tanker with
regards to their requirements and limitations.
At all times, cargo operations should be conducted in accordance with the agreed ship-to-ship
checklist and the export plan. Safety checks should be conducted before, during and upon the
completion of the cargo handling operation.
The FPSO export plan should give details of the intended discharge sequence, the tanks which
may be required to be crude oil washed, the ballasting requirements, and illustrate the expected
time schedule for each operation. The purpose of the export plan is also to provide details of the
cargo to be exported to the attending shuttle tanker. Each POT (Production Operation
Technician) CCR must study the export plan and understand the contents so they are fully aware
of the cargo handling operation.
Prior to discharge, ullages, temperatures and water dips must be taken of each tank and the
results recorded. Only those valves required for the discharge operation should be open and
those not required should be proved positively shut.
A telemetry link is to be established between the shuttle tanker and the FPSO to confirm a safe
working condition (The Green Line). The telemetry system is a systematic means of interlocking
the mooring and loading systems on the shuttle tanker with the cargo offloading system on the
FPSO. A ‘Permit to Pump’ signal controls the ESD valves on both the shuttle tanker and the
FPSO. The shuttle tanker and the FPSO must be in constant communications throughout the
mooring and the off-loading operations.
Tanks not being used must be checked regularly to ensure that the ullage in those tanks remains
the same. It is essential, for an efficient discharge in the shortest time that the pumps are run at
their designed speed when the line pressure restrictions permit.
Crude oil washing may be undertaken either during export operation or upon completion when
the shuttle tanker has departed.

System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
Crude Oil Measurement

The cargo metering system is limited to a measurement of crude oil delivered to the cargo
storage area via the product rundown line, metered upstream of the topsides/vessel interface.
This unit has the means of manual adjustment in the CCR, for the API gravity and BS&W with an
accuracy of +/- 3%. This measurement of volumetric flow rate and totals is only for internal use for
daily/monthly inventory determination with monthly reporting of quantities to MMS. Whilst these
figures can be used as a back-up to the export meter, the fiscal meters are the primary export
volume determination and are not normally suitable for vessel out-turn figures.
Cargo tank measurement is the primary means of calculating the on-board volumetric quantity
and will serve as the method for calculation of the final offloading figures. It is therefore important
that proper and exact measurements are taken of the tanks before and after discharge, including
where applicable, pipeline quantities.
3.2. Oil Export Metering Skid

The operation of the oil export metering skid is based on ship loads (batch offloads). The operator
can define a new loading by entering a new batch setup. The system will make a pre-selection of
two out of three runs to be opened for offloading, based on the runs that were already used
during the previous off loadings (move up one run). The operator may accept the suggestion or
choose any other combination of three runs. After the off-take tanker has arrived and has been
connected to the FPSO and the loading pumps have been started, the operator can start the
offloading by giving the Start Loading command to open the oil meter skid.
Start Loading Sequence Starts the loading sequence as described in section PLC,
Crude Oil Loading Sequence. (4036-RD-001)
Halt Loading Sequence Sequence Closes the skid gradually to interrupt the current
batch without starting a new batch
Resume Loading Resumes the currently halted batch sequence
Stop Loading Sequence Stops the loading sequence as described in section PLC,
Crude Oil Loading Sequence.
Note that the system will also automatically stop the loading
sequence, when the Batch End Stop limit has been reached.
Abort Loading Immediately closes all meter runs in case of an emergency, as
described in section PLC, Crude Oil Loading Sequence.
(4036-RD-001)
Close Last Meter Run Closes the last meter run, used during the loading sequence.
Terminate Loading Ends the batch. The flow computers close the batch totals and
averages and the SVC generates the Oil Batch report.
First the system will open one run and maintain the flow at a low rate. The operators can now
inspect the connections to the tanker whether there is a problem. If the installation has been
inspected and has been found acceptable the operator can give the start offload command.
The system will open the required runs one by one until the required overall flow rate set-point
has been reached. The set point for each run is calculated by the system (equal divided per
selected runs). To come in operation smoothly the system will open the required runs one by one
until the required overall flow rate set point has been reached.
The used runs can be proved during offload to determine their actual meter factors. The new
meter factors can be used at the end of the batch to correct the measured batch quantities.
The operator manually initiates meter proving one after the other (only one run can be proved at a
time). On successful completion of the proving sequence (5 to 6 successive successful runs out
of a maximum 10 tests) the meter can be re-aligned by the operator for normal operation and the
Page 41 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
new factor may be accepted by the operator, upon which the new meter factor is automatically
entered into the relevant flow computer. The new meter factors will be implemented retro-actively.
A successful test is a test in which the maximum difference between calculated calibration factors
is less than a given percentage. During the offload the operator can give the pause command.
The system ramps down the flow to stop the offload. The system will not reset the flow computers
but waits for further instructions. The offload can be restarted by giving the resume command.
The system will ramp up until the overall flow rate set-point has been reached.
When the offloading is nearly completed the system ramps down the flow to the cut-off flow,
which closes all runs except for one. Alternately the operator may initiate the ramping down by
manually giving the Stop Loading command. The final run will flow on the cut-off flow set-point.

When the desired quantity of crude oil has been offloaded the operator gives the command to
close the last run as well.
Finally the operator gives the Terminate Loading command, upon which the system will generate
the ‘Crude Oil Batch Report’ and update the batch values to the Process Control System (PCS).
During the offloading, samples of the crude oil are collected in a sample can. Two cans are
available and can be changed manually. When the loading has completed the sample is analyzed
in the onboard laboratory.
For this purpose the Metering System facilitates batch recalculation. After termination of the
loading the operator enters the laboratory results, upon which the batch quantities are
recalculated. When recalculation has been finished the operator may reprint the Crude Oil
Loading Batch Report.
In cases of emergency the operator may abort the active loading by issuing the Abort Loading
command. This closes all meter runs immediately (as opposed to the Stop Loading command,
which causes the meter runs to ramp down very smoothly one by one).
During loading the operator may decide to add or remove meter runs. After the run selection has
been edited by the operator, the system automatically ramps up / down the newly selected /
deselected runs.
The control system will protect the turbines against over speeding. The flow computers have a
setting for Hi Flow alarm. When this alarm is raised by the flow computer, the supervisory
computer will forward it to the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC), which will reduce the flow
through the flow control valves.
Valves may be operated manually. This requires engineering access level. When the flow control
valves are operated manually the over speeding protection is not active.
The offloading skid contains 3 equal 12” (305mm) meter runs with inlet block valves, filters,
turbine meters, pressure and temperature transmitters, flow control valves, prover selection
valves. All runs can be lined up with the bi-directional prover on the skid.
During normal operation the system will automatically open up to 2 of the 12” (305mm) runs and
leaves the remaining run closed. If required the operator can activate the 3rd run manually.
An automatic flow proportional sampling system, complete with BS&W analyser, is also a part of
the skid.
Bi-directional Prover
The Oil export bi-directional prover has the following specifications:
• Size: 24" (610mm)
• Rating: 150 lbs
• Meter run-up length: 10.13 [m]
• Minimum length between detectors: 4.46 [m]
• Dual detectors: Yes
• Volume between detectors: 1.22 [m3]
Meter factor will be calculated using pulse interpolation method.
Sampling System
The sampling system takes flow proportional representative samples during a batch.
The sampling frequency is calculated by the PLC. Control of the sampling system is executed by
the PLC. Parameters can be adjusted on the SVC (Supervisory Computer) .
The sampling system consists of the following components:

System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
• Sampling probe with feedback signal

• Two cans, the can in use is placed on a load cell
• BS&W analyzer
• Fast-loop pump
The motor is started from the supervisory computer, the analogue value from the BS&W analyser
is send to the PLC and then to the supervisory computer.
Fuel Gas Meter Run

Gas metering is a continuous operation that is monitored by the Metering System. For each gas
metering run a gas composition can be sent to the flow computer from the supervisory computer.
The Fuel Gas meter run contains dual flow transmitters, a pressure transmitter and a temperature
transmitter.
Chinook Inlet Separator

Oil metering is a continuous operation that is monitored by the Metering System and that (under
normal conditions) does not require any operator actions.

Functions
Each Omni flow computer has the following standard functions
• Read in the transmitter and status values
• Perform flow calculations
• Maintain totals and averages
• Generate alarms
• Interact with the SVC
• Provide a local operator interface (note that the SVC is the main operator interface)
• Secure operation from unauthorized access
•
The oil run flow computers have the following additional functions:
• Perform oil flow calculations according to API-MPMS chapter 11
• Maintain batch totals (only for the export metering skid) and averages
• Daily totals and averages
The gas run flow computers have the following additional functions:
• Perform gas density calculations according to AGA-8
• Perform gas flow calculations according to AGA-3
• Maintain daily totals and averages
For a detailed description of the flow computer functionality, refer to the Omni manuals.
The prover switches are parallel wired to each Oil export FC.
Oil Transmitter Signals
For crude oil the run transmitter signals need to be connected to the corresponding run flow
computer.
The flow computer I/O is handled as follows:
• Dual pulse inputs: the voltage signals are connected to the run FC. The prover
switches are parallel wired to each Oil export FC.
• Analog inputs: the 4-20mA inputs signals are converted to 1-5 V by a high-precision
resistor.
• RTD inputs (as used for PT100 temperature elements): the RTD signal is converted to
a 4-20 mA signal, which on its turn is converted to 1-5 V by a high-precision resistor.
Modbus communication: the PLC sends the viscosity to the FC through modbus.
Input and Output Signals

Each oil export metering skid flow computer has the following I/O:
• For normal stream data:
o Meter flow rate: 1 dual pulse input
o Meter flow rate: 1 analog output for PLC (for FCV and sampling control)
o Meter pressure, 1 analog input,
o Meter temperature, 1 analog input
• For the prover function:
o Prover inlet process pressure, 1 analog input
o Prover outlet process temperature, 1 analog input
o Prover inlet process temperature, 1 analog input
o Prover outlet process temperature, 1 analog input
o Prover detector switches, 4 in total, two calibrated volumes
The Oil Separator flow computers have the following I/O:
Page 49 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
• Meter flow rate: 1 single pulse input

• Meter flow rate: 1 analog output for PLC
• Meter pressure, 1 analog input,
• Meter temperature, 1 analog input
Each gas run flow computer has the following I/O:

• Meter differential pressure, 2 per stream,
• Meter pressure, 1 analog input per meter run,
• Meter temperature, 1 analog input per meter run
For the analog inputs the flow computer will fall back upon last good reading/average or keypad
values upon loss of the transmitter signal. Default is fall-back keypad.
Reporting
The SVC generates the reports as specified in section ‘Reports’ of this document.
The flow computers also generate batch and prove reports. The last 8 reports are retained the
flow computer memory.
The flow computer can also generate a so-called snapshot report and a report containing its
configuration upon manual command; provided that a printer is directly attached to the flow
computer (refer to the Omni manuals for more information).
Alarming
In case of any alarm or failure the flow computer illuminates an alarm indicator on the flow
computer panel and generates an alarm message in its alarm list.
The flow computer generates the following types of alarms:
• Hardware alarms: For example a transmitter failure
• Process alarms: For example a transmitter value reaches a low or high limit
• System alarms: For example a calculation failure.
See the Omni Manuals for the handling of alarms and for the complete alarm list.
Flow computer alarms are transferred to the SVC as well. When alarms are acknowledged on the
SVC, then the alarms are automatically acknowledged on the corresponding flow computer as
well.
Alarms can be printed on request.
Communication with the SVC

The communication between the SVC and the flow computers is based on the Modbus RTU
protocol. The SVC is the master and the flow computers are the slaves, each flow computer has
its own Modbus ID.
The flow computer sends the following signals on request to the SVC:
Page 50 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
• Transmitter values, status signals and parameters

• Calculated flow rates, standard density, pressure, temperature and totals
• Flow computer status indicators
• Meter factors and flow rates
• Alarms generated by the flow computer
• Flow control valve actual settings and status (for visualization purposes only; valve
control will be executed by the PLC)
• Batch and daily totals and averages
• Prove status and results
•
The flow computer receives the following data from the SVC:
• Time synchronization
• Alarm limits
• Turbine meter factor curves
• Turbine meter K factors
• Prover base volume
• Crude oil specific gravity
• Crude oil BS&W content
Local Operator Interface

Although the SVC provides the main operator interface, each flow computer has an alphanumeric
display and a keyboard for local data entry.
Laptop Interface for OMNI Flow Computers

Each flow computer is connected to a common communication port for connection with a laptop
(for servicing purposes). This ‘service’ port is installed in the front side of the cabinet door for
easy access. Omnicom configuration software will be included.
Security Aspects
The flow computer can be secured by password (on four levels) and (or) lock switch and with a
seal.
3.4. PLC
Purpose
The Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) system works in cooperation with the SVC and DCS.
All PLC commands are issued from the SVC or DCS, either manually by the operator or
automatically.
The PLC system is to control the Control Valves, Motor Operated Valves, oil sampling and
analyzing systems and serves as the central communication point between the flow computers,
DCS and SVC.
Other functions are monitoring valve interlocks, common alarm input signals and the strainer
differential pressure.
Functions
The PLC provides the following logic functions:
Page 51 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
• Control oil loading sequence (switching up and down the runs).

• Control Flow Control Valves
• Control XV’s (Motor Operated Valves) of the oil skid
• Control the meter run line-up
• Monitor valve interlocks
• Differential pressure across the strainers
• BS&W Analog signal
• Control the sampling system
• Communicate with the SVC
• Communicate with the DCS
• Viscosity calculations
•
Communication with the FPSO DCS
Communication protocol between the PLC and the FPSO DCS is Modbus RTU.
Communication settings:
• Baud rate: 19200 [bit/s]
• 8 bits
• None parity
• One stopbit
In appendix A of the vendor manual the TAG list can be found for the communication between the
PLC and the FPSO DCS.
Oil Export Offloading Sequence
The PLC is capable of controlling the entire sequence in which oil is offloaded to a shuttle tanker.
This sequence is as follows:
1. The operator enters the required batch volume, check flow, the sampling parameters and the
offloading time on the SVC.
2. The SVC automatically determines which runs (2 out of 3) will be used for offloading.
3. The operator may overrule this selection. Refer to the description of ‘Crude Oil Batch
Overview’ for more details on run selection.
4. The operator gives the “Start Loading check flow” command. The PLC will open 1 line and
the FCV is opened until the “Check flow” set point is reached. When the operator decides to
go to the normal flow the command “Start loading Normal flow” is given
5. The PLC opens the selected runs one after the other. The opening sequence is run 1 and 2.
For each run first the outlet XV is opened and then the FCV. The FCV is gradually opened
until the meter run has achieved its allocated set-point.
6. When the 1st run has reached the ‘switching point next run ON’ (setup parameter, typically
about 80% of set point), the PLC will open the 2nd run.
7. When all runs have reached their set-point the system is fully loading.
8. During the offload the operator can give the pause command. The system will ramps down
the flow to stop the offload. The system will not reset the flow computers and wait for further
instructions. The offload can be restarted by giving the resume command. The system will
ramp up until the overall flow rate set-point has been reached.
9. When the total batch volume has reached the user–definable ‘Batch-end Warning limit’ (xx%
of batch volume), the SVC generates a warning. No action is taken.
10. When the total batch volume has reached the user–definable ‘Batch-end Stop limit’, (yy% of
batch volume) the SVC automatically issues a Stop Loading command.
Page 52 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
NOTE
The operator can also give a manual Stop Loading command at any time before it is initiated
automatically
11. At the Stop Loading command the PLC will close all runs but one. Runs will be closed one
after the other. The FCV of the 1st run will be closed gradually, while the other runs remain
on their set-point. When the run is at 10% of its capacity, the FCV of the 2nd run will be
closed.
12. The final run will not be closed entirely but will flow on the user-definable low-flow cutoff set-
point, which enables the operator to cut-off the loading close to the required batch volume.
13. As soon as the required volume is reached, the system gives a warning, upon which the
operator may issue the Close Last Meter Run command.
14. When the final run has closed the loading has completed. The operator gives the End Batch
command on the SVC. The SVC commands the flow computers to end the batch and
generates the Crude oil batch report.
There is the possibility to pause and resume the batch. Giving the command pause will close all
the valves as describe above but will not end the running batch. With the command resume batch
the lines will be lined up again and the running batch is continued.

Oil Export Offloading Skid Proving Line-up Control

During offloading all in-use flow meters should be initiated for calibration by the operator.
The sequence to line up a meter for proving and to execute a prover sequence is as follows:
1. The operator gives the command to line up the meter to the prover. The command is only
allowed when no meter is lined up with the prover already.
2. The meter run FCV is frozen to its current output percentage.
3. The run to prover outlet valve (XV) is opened for the selected meter run.
4. The prover FCV is gradually opened (ramp up rate), while the run FCV is closed gradually
(ramp down rate). This is required to maintain a constant flow rate to the shuttle tanker and to
prevent the turbine meter from cavitation.
5. When the meter run FCV has closed, the run outlet valve (XV) is closed in order to ensure
that no product is bypassing the compact prover.
Page 53 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
6. The run is now lined up with the prover and the operator may initiate the prover sequence.
7. The flow computer executes the prover sequence fully automatically. Refer to section ‘SVC,
Proving’ for more information on proving sequences.
8. When the prove sequence has ended, the operator gives the command to re-line up the
meter run again.
9. The prover FCV is frozen to its current output percentage.
10. The run outlet XV is opened.
11. The run FCV is gradually opened, while the prover FCV is gradually closed.
12. When the prover FCV has closed, the run to prover outlet valve is closed. The run FCV is
controlled to its original set-point again.
13. Now the operator may line up the next meter run for proving.

Flow Control Valve

In each meter run of the oil package a Flow Control Valve (FCV) is installed, another FCV is
installed directly after the Bi-directional Prover. The actual flow control is performed by the PLC,
which applies a PID control function on each FCV separately. The PID settings can be edited on
the SVC.
The PID control may be overruled by a manual control output percentage for each valve
separately.
For each FCV the PLC processes the following SVC commands:
• Enable Automatic Control Mode
o PID control is enabled.
o The PLC automatically distributes the overall set-point, calculated from the
required batch volume, loading time and number of selected runs, over the runs
selected.
• Enable Manual SP Mode
o PID control is enabled.
o The operator defines the set-point for each run separately.
• Enable Manual OP Mode
o PID control is disabled.
o The PLC operator directly sets the control output percentage to the valve.
For each FCV the following PID-related parameters may be modified on the SVC (only accessible
to engineer security level or higher):
• - Proportional (P) gain factor
• - Integral (I) gain factor
• - Derivative (D) gain factor
• - Opening ramp (to limit valve movement while opening)
• - Closing ramp (to limit valve movement while closing)

Draining
The vessel’s staff should be fully conversant with the operation and capabilities of the cargo and
ballast pumps. Close co-operation must be maintained between the POT OPS and the production
operator technician marine mechanical (POT ECR) to avoid frequent over speeding and tripping
of the pumps. Whilst draining operations are in progress, a responsible person must be
positioned at the pump controls, and the tachometer should be observed so that the speed of the
pumps may be regulated as necessary.
Particular attention should be paid to the vessel trim, the tank pressure and ullage of all tanks
throughout the discharge operation. Cargo tanks, lines and pumps may on occasions be required
to be drained to the shuttle tanker, but under normal conditions no draining will be carried out to
the shuttle tanker. All draining of tanks, lines and pumps would be carried out by internal transfer.
In order to facilitate draining, the build-up of scale and sediment must be kept to a minimum. On
completion of discharge, it would not be a requirement to strip the lines. See Section 3.4.2,
Procedure for Line Draining, in this manual.
Records of all operations undertaken during the export of cargo should be recorded in the CCR
Record Book.
Pump Room Security and Safety

The safety of cargo operations and the personnel involved is very much dependent on a
competent approach to and understanding of the hazards associated with cargo pump rooms. A
carefully defined procedure for entry and checking of the pump room, both during cargo
operations and at any other time, is essential. The entry procedure is to be posted in a prominent
position by the pump room entrance door and included in the instructions given to all personnel.
The pump room gas detection system, fire detection system and the bilge alarms are the three
prime methods of continuous monitoring of pump room integrity and safe entry requirements,
followed by entry and visual inspection by duty personnel. The following items should be included
in any shipboard procedure:
The correct pump room ventilation procedure should be in use, the pump room fan should be set
to draw the atmosphere from the bottom of the pump room venting to atmosphere, thus creating
an inflow though the main entrance.
Prior to entry, check that there are no alarms on the pump room gas detection system and that
the oxygen reading is 21% and the Lower Flammable Limit (LFL) is 0%.
• The Duty Operator is to note the readings from the gas detection system panel in the
CCR Record Book and advise the personnel who are to enter of the findings.
• Test radio communication between the CCR and the personnel who are making the
pump room entry.
• The Duty Operator is to note the names of personnel entering, time of entry and to agree
a communication schedule.
• The Duty Operator is to regularly communicate with personnel while they are inside the
pump room at the agreed time intervals.
• The pump room should be entered and visually checked on an hourly basis throughout
the cargo operation.
• Where there has been a major change in the status of the valves and or pumps, entry
and visual checks should be made of the pump room.
• Where communication is apparently lost with the personnel in the pump room the Duty
Operator is to seek support to investigate the matter immediately. No further entry is to
be made without instructions from the Operations Superintendent.
Additional guidance can be found in the Company Safety and Operating Manuals, the Code of
Safe Working Practice (COSWP) and the ISGOTT manual.

3.5. Export from all Cargo Tanks

The following factors are to be considered prior to a full discharge:
• Maximum/minimum available draught at the buoy
• Cargo tank segregation
• Crude oil washing requirements
• Ballast requirements
• Maintenance of satisfactory trim and stress
• Shuttle tanker requirements
3.5.1. Normal Start-up Procedure
• PCS
• ESD
• Verify that all maintenance on system equipment has been completed or otherwise noted
and logged
3.5.2. Pre-Start Checks to Export from the Cargo Tanks

When preparing the system for export of crude oil, it is important that all valves are in the closed
position prior to lining up the lines for discharge, and all tank inert gas (IG) connections are lined-
up as required.
a) All crude oil washing (COW) valves are to be closed.

b) Ensure that all overboard valves and sea suctions are closed. Any spool pieces in
these lines should always be removed.
c) The spool piece between the cargo oil and ballast systems must be removed and the
lines blanked.
d) The cargo pumping system and the IG plant is to be prepared for operation.
e) Open the main lines from the cargo oil tanks (COTs) to the main cargo pumps and
then up to the offloading hose. To reduce unnecessary pressure onto the pumps it is
good practice to open a tank suction first, then the valves leading to the pumps and as
such filling the line leading to the pumps.

3.5.3. Normal Start-up Procedure

• PCS
• ESD
• Verify that all maintenance on system equipment has been completed or otherwise
noted and logged
a) Start the inert gas system.

b) Start the COP and run at minimum speed, watching the back-pressure carefully.
c) When the COP and pressure are balanced, debottom all tanks by 3ft (1m) in preparation
for crude oil washing. If it is intended that a slop tank is to be used for crude oil washing, it
should be free from contaminants and filled with fresh ‘dry’ crude oil.
d) Open the remaining tanks and increase to full speed discharge as per the export plan and
in agreement with the shuttle tanker.
e) The bottom crossover valves between the cargo lines in the pump room can be opened to
optimise COP performance, but care must be exercised. Top lines are normally kept
isolated to improve draining performance.
f) When a cargo oil tank reaches a sounding of approximately 5ft (1.5m), the vacuum pump
system can be started and the automatic stripping system activated. However, always be
guided by the pump suction and discharge pressure, the pump speed and discharge rate,
to avoid the pump casing gassing-up and subsequent cavitation.
g) The COW operation can only commence when the selected tanks are empty.
h) Ballast operations may be carried out concurrently with the discharge of cargo to the
shuttle tanker in order to main stability and stress reduction in accordance to the discharge
plan (See section 52 for ballast Operations).
i) Upon completion of the export of cargo, the cargo lines will be required to be drained.
3.5.4. Controlled Shutdown Procedure

a) Ensure that all personnel involved in the export operation or working in the vicinity are
aware that the crude oil system is to be closed; informing the shuttle tanker that export
operation is to be closed down.
b) Stop the cargo pumps.
c) Once the shuttle tanker confirms loading has stopped and flow has ceased, close the
stern off-loading valves.
d) Close the FPSO line and tank valves.
e) Monitor that the inert gas tank pressure within the set limits, then stop this system.

System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
3.5.5. Routine Monitoring

The following procedure describes the routine monitoring performed when the export operation to
the shuttle tanker is under way.
Step Action
Check all lines for leaks.

1
2 Observe all tank levels
3 Observe all tank pressures.
Monitor the CCR indications for the load valves, tank levels, alarms and
4
ensure these are correct.
Monitor the deballasting performance and ensure this is in accordance
5
with the loading plan
Ensure the vessel’s stability, draught and trim are as the load plan
6
calculations and are within acceptable limits.
3.5.6. Procedure for Line Draining

For operational requirements it may be necessary to drain down the cargo lines. It may be
necessary to strip out certain sections of lines for maintenance prior to washing, for consolidating
line residues from a recent export operation or to ensure the lines have no sediment or sludge
deposit build-up.
Several options are available to drain the lines with the stripping pump. Pumping to the shuttle
tanker via the offloading system routed through the main cargo pump discharge lines, educting
the major lines to the slop tanks, strip out via the stripping line to either of the slop tanks.
When cargo pipeline quantities are included in the offloading figures, accurate measurement can
best be achieved by measurement of the quantity added to a destination tank, with this amount
then applied to the final export figures.
NOTE
The stern offloading system is isolated with blinds and would only be used in an
emergency
Line Draining to the Shuttle Tanker

All cargo valves closed.
a) Line-up the stripping pump to the cargo tank lines and No.1 and No.2 COPs.
b) Ensure the offloading line valves to the shuttle tanker are open.
c) Start the stripping pump and observe the vacuum on the line. Listen to the flow at the
stern manifold. Open the vacuum breaking valve 21-CH-0704 as required.
d) On completion of line draining, close all valves and agree on FPSO/shuttle tanker figures.

4.1. Overview
The cargo offloading operation involves transferring crude oil from the storage tanks on the
Floating Production Storage and Shuttle Tanker (FPSO) facility into an Shuttle Tanker moored to
the stern. The mooring hawser is stored on a hydraulically powered reel, which is deployed out
from the FPSO.
HOLD An Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) is employed to transfer the pick-up line to the Shuttle
Tanker’s bow, which heaves across the attached mooring hawser and secures the associated
chafing chain onto the Shuttle Tanker’s bow stopper arrangement.
The crude oil hose line is stored on a hydraulic powered storage drum on the FPSO, which is fed
out to the Shuttle Tanker’s port side midships manifold area, utilising the OSV to tow the hose
string to the Shuttle Tanker’s port manifold.
The approaching Shuttle Tanker will carry out pre-arrival checks and confirm to the FPSO that
these checks have been completed and in a satisfactory condition, with no changes since the
initial contact procedure. Permission must be obtained from the FPSO before the Shuttle Tanker
can enter the 2.5 mile cautionary zone.
The approach of the Shuttle Tanker will be from the stern of the FPSO into the prevailing wind
and current. Under the supervision of the senior officer and advice from the terminal
representative, the hawser connection procedure can begin.
Page 69 of 74
BWO Doc. Id.: 4036-MB-00119880
System Rev.: B, 2009-11-16
They will use an unweighted heaving line lowered from the bow to the OSV, which will attach the
pick-up rope to the heaving line. This will be heaved aboard through the Shuttle Tanker’s fairlead,
then the pick-up line should be secured with a weak link to a winch drum (not a drum end).
Thereafter the pick-up line and the following messenger line shall be heaved via the bow stopper
and stowed onto the drum (not a drum end), continuing heaving as the Shuttle Tanker
approaches closer to the FPSO. The Shuttle Tanker’s bow stopper should be closed on the third
link of the chafing chain and secured with a safety locking pin.
No tension should be placed onto the mooring hawser until the chafing chain is properly secured
on the chain stopper of the Shuttle Tanker. For the control and alarm system see Section xx of
this manual.
NOTE
The FPSO will ‘weather vane’, and as such the Shuttle Tanker should always be aware of the
likely effect of the prevailing wind and current on the FPSO during the approach period
CAUTION
The Offshore Support Vessel (OSV) will be used to hold the Shuttle Tanker in the correct
orientation and position relative to the FPSO and within the set tolerances of tension on the
hawser. In addition, the Shuttle Tanker’s engine and steering gear can be used to assist.
However, if circumstances permit, timely notice must be given to the Shuttle Tanker if the
conditions worsen and disconnection is imminent.
.
4.2. Mooring Position Monitoring
4.2.1. Monitoring Shuttle Tanker Position

A repeater radar display is available in the ship’s control room which can be used to monitor
shipping within the locality and also the position of the Shuttle Tanker.
When a Shuttle Tanker is present, the distance from the FPSO can be displayed at times of
approach, when moored and when clearing the FPSO.
4.2.2. Monitoring Weather Conditions

The FPSO is exposed to seasonal and daily weather conditions which can have a deciding factor
on the continual connection to the mooring turret, and as such both the reception and export of
crude oil.
The FPSO has predetermined limits for the safe mooring to the turret, together with the limits of
the connection of a Shuttle Tanker. By close observation of the weather and sea state being
experienced at the FPSO and the forecasts, both short and long range, it should be possible for
the avoidance of any unnecessary equipment damage or placing personnel at risk of injury by
considering the following factors:
• Maintaining additional ballast to reduce motion.
• Ensure the Shuttle Tanker has the correct displacement and trim, adjusted for the
weather conditions.
• Cease export and unmoor the Shuttle Tanker.
• Stopping production and depressurising modules.
• Reduce manning.
• Move off station as required.
Tropical Revolving Storms

The area is subject to the seasonal tropical cyclones which develop and track close to the FPSO.
Due to the destructive nature of these storms and their effect over a long range from the storm
centres, measures must be taken to ensure that the FPSO is not exposed to the dangers of these
storms and that the personnel are not placed in danger.

The hurricane season is June through to November in the Gulf of Mexico (but can develop
outside this normal period), with associated high winds that can exceed 200km/h and with
extreme swells generally from the SE direction.
Due to the uncertainty of the nature, size, track and wind speeds of the tropical depressions
which can become cyclonic, when certain criteria are met, and then the planned action must be
put into place.
Reference is made to doc. 4036-KA-00086403 “Heavy weather Procedures for BW

Pioneer’’
See 4036 –KA0084395_5_01 for full Disconnection/Connection Procedures
4.2.3. Disconnection
General
Normal disconnection (in the event of a threatening hurricane warning ) is to be carried out in less
than 24 hours. This operation includes:
• Process shutdown
• Bleed down the system including risers
• Flush/purge the production gas lines (above ESD valves) up to topside isolation valve.
• Risers to be purged
• Disconnect the risers and MQC stab plates
• Unlock Spline Connection on the buoy and turn table
• Check pick-up line and tension up on the winch
• Flood STP compartment and disconnect the STP buoy
4.2.4. Re-Connection
General
After a disconnection, the STP buoy is ready to be reconnected whenever the weather condition
for reconnection is acceptable. The re-connection is in principle a reverse of the disconnection
operation. The main principle is as follows.
The required reconnection time is 12 hours measured from the time the pick-up line is connected
until final pressure testing is completed.
Description
• The reconnection is split into the following main activities.
• Vessel arrival and preparation
• STP buoy pull-in and connection
• Empty the STP flooded compartment (pump out water)
• Torque/Fluid transfer system installation and connection
