Technology readiness (TRL)
Sevan SSP has pioneered the cylindrically shaped FPSO as an alternative to the ship-shaped FPSO. The Sevan hull design represents substantial cost savings for harsh environment installations, both in the construction and the operational phases.
General benefits of the technology: • Reduced CAPEX and OPEX; no complex turret and swivel systems, no thrusters for heading control • Scalable design • Accommodates a large number of risers/umbilicals • Low cost for subsea interfaces and provisional tie-ins • Improved motion characteristics
Special benefits for arctic environments: • Insensitive for the rapid wind direction changes of polar lows • Geostationary design for sea ice conditions • Ice breaking hull developed and model tested • Winterization efficiently integratedv
