(offshore-energy.biz) The internal turret buoy single-point mooring system developed by China Offshore Oil Engineering Company (COOEC), controlled by China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC), has received two approvals in principle (AIP), one from the China Classification Society (CCC) and another from Bureau Veritas.
As the system is said to be the first of its kind in China, it is perceived as a breakthrough in the country’s research and development capabilities for deepwater oil and gas equipment, contributing to the economic development of its deepwater fields. The single-point mooring system enables floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units to maintain stable production operations at sea by acting as a weather vane, assisting in vessel positioning.
Under the influence of wind, waves, and currents, the FPSO device rotates around the single-point mooring system, making it less susceptible to external forces. At the same time, the system can be used for electricity and communication transmission, as well as transporting fluids.
