Drone in Offshore (Oil & Gas)

 Drone in Offshore (Oil & Gas)

A drone used in offshore operations is typically referred to as an offshore drone. 




Offshore drones are commonly employed in the oil and gas industry for various tasks such as 

- monitoring offshore platforms, 

- conducting inspections, 

- surveying pipelines, and 

- providing real-time data for decision-making. 

These drones are equipped with specialized sensors and cameras to capture high-quality images and videos of offshore structures and equipment. 

They help improve safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness in offshore operations.

FPSO HULL & TOPSIDE INTRODUCTION

Image
1.        INTRODUCTION A Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit is a floating vessel by the offshore oil and gas industry for the processing of hydrocarbons and for storage of oil. A  FPSO vessel is designed to receive hydrocarbons produced from nearby platforms or sub-sea template, process them, and store oil until it can be offloaded onto a tanker or, less frequently, transported through a pipeline. The FPSO, as its name suggests, is a floating contraption that allows oil rigs the freedom not just to store oil but also to produce or refine it before finally offloading it to the desired industrial sectors, either by way of cargo containers or with the help of pipelines built underwater. The use of this system ensures that shipping companies do not have to invest even more money by ferrying the raw and crude oil to an onshore refinery before transferring it to the required industrial areas. In simple terms, the FPSO sa...

BILGE SYSTEM

BILGE SYSTEM 1.1.1      BILGE SYSTEM The Bilge is the lowest compartment on a ship, below the water line, where the two sides meet at the keel. Introduction: The bilge system enables water and oily water to be removed from machinery spaces, pump rooms, void spaces and other compartments.  There are two suction lines for emptying each bilge well. The first line is connected to the bilge through bilge main pumps (or daily bilge pumps) which have 5-10 m3/hr capacity. The second line is the direct bilge suction (or emergency bilge suction) and must be connected directly t emergency bilge pumps suction. This is used in emergency and at least two direct bilge suctions (or emergency bilge suction) must be provided at machinery space in each pontoon area in semi-submerisbile project and pump room and aft & forward machinery spaces in FPSO project. It is a classification requirement that the bilge system has an emergency connection that is connected to the largest se...

BALLAST CONTROL SYSTEM (FPSO)

Image
 BALLAST CONTROL SYSTEM (FPSO) A Ballast tank is a compartment within a boat, ship or other floating structure that holds water. The ballast system keeps the offshore unit in a stable condition and at a suitable draught, heel and trim in all relevant states of operation. In order to provide adequate stability to vessels at sea, ballast is used to weight the ship down and lower its centre of gravity. The segregated ballast system is designed in floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) to comply with International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) regulations. It has ballasting/ de-ballasting and transfer functions from one tank to any other ballast tanks. Ballast filling is via ballast main pipes which run to the ballast seawater from topside seawater lift pumps or topside utility pumps using gravity filling. In previous FPSO projects, the ballast pumps were located in pump room, but recently projects have installed the hydraulic operated, subme...
