What this expert provides

The design lead for floating production, storage and offloading units and FLNGs. Handles the conversion vs. newbuild choice, hull storage sizing, turret/swivel configuration, topsides module layout, and offloading autonomy.

Expert Profile

Manages the interface between hull storage and peak production rates. Follows API RP 2SK and ISO 19901-7. Coordinates with Metocean for turret loads, Petroleum Geology for production profiles, and Mooring Design for station-keeping. Sets the design basis for storage autonomy and shuttle tanker cycles.

Key Capabilities

  • Storage autonomy and offloading cycle analysis (peak oil/water)
  • Turret vs. Spread mooring selection and layout
  • Topsides module footprint and CoG estimation
  • Riser porch and umbilical integration architecture
  • Conversion feasibility vs. newbuild hull proportions
