FPSO / FSO specialist advice and design support

One example of AMOG’s FPSO / FSO expertise is our work on the Mutineer Exeter FPSI in the Australian North West Shelf. AMOG was commissioned to oversee the design and tender evaluations for the Mutineer Exeter FPSO. AMOG's involvement in the Mutineer Exeter FPSO development included the following:

• Technical design review of mooring and risers and review of mooring and riser installation drawings including structural assessment
• Hydrodynamic assessment of the possible tankers proposed for the development
• Vessel heading and uptime analysis
• Modelling of the topside exhaust emissions using computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Fatigue assessment of the structural supports for the topside equipment.
