wellwell
I don't know whats hard to understand,it’s very simple volume conversion.
5200 M3 converts to 32,707 oil barrels
Without looking at offtake rates in the ES etc , but talking to some chaps in the know, and looking at how long that very same tanker sits behind the other BP assetts WoS for the standard 500k offload package, then I think SIPP guesstimate won't be too far off, perhaps a little optimistic IMO and I would have guessed about 20hrs but WTFDIK.
What we do not know is if they will start the offload as soon as tye tanker is in position - the deck crew or crane operator may be on another task. Or the ctual hook up could take an hour or so before any transfer - maybe RT is firing the gun to get the rope across on the first offload and misses the tanker :-). Maybe it will be delayed because a chopper is due on deck or another 50 reasons why looking at timings alone could be flawed. The initial offload may also contain completion fluid or distressed hydrocarbons if they weren't offloaded previously, which I am guessing adds a little bit on switching tanks etc. - (the MEG gunk etc would not have gone ashore on any PSV imo, and guessing there could be around 20k barrels of that to get rid off).
As for judging the offload by looking at the draft, well good luck with that one - you would be as well trying to Platt the Fog that is sitting over the AM and TL this morning - hopefully they have someone on the deck taking for the required fog samples.
Bear in mind Numbers isn’t my fortè( neither is writing ) Surely 500,000 at 1 day 350,000 17 hours ? Think this figure of between 340,000/ 350,000 is based on more than guesswork? So will such an event need an RNS ? Re BP , I believe that BP pay Spot Price , so what decides , Ie average between start / stop exporting ! Disconnecting from Akou Mizou Once Oil is discharged ?
yes agreed
Crude oil flows at 12m/s inside a 0.50m diameter hose, providing a maximum offloading rate of 5,200 m3/h. This is equivalent to 1,444 litres per second
"The offloading system is designed for a flow rate of 5,200 m3 per hour, and offloading is estimated to take approximately 1 day to complete."
The 1-day estimate is based on a parcel size of 500,000 barrels.
I find that figure rather hard to comprehend. Are you sure?
Referring to the ES, 350,000 (for example) barrels would take 11 hours to offload. (5,200m3 per hour).
also, for the non-techs (are there any here??), bear-in-mind that the density of seawater is in excess of 1.25 times that of the oil replacing it..........
Draft can remain generally the same despite the addition or removal of cargo by changing the water level in the ballast tanks. Draft is not a reliable indicator of how empty or full the oil tanks are in my view.

I recall something about the draught shown was not necessarily showing the latest information publicly, i.e. manual update as opposed to automatic. They wouldn't send a tanker out without good reason.
The reported draught of the AM is still 9,4 meters. Can anyone explain how that reconciles with the assumed storage of x hundred thousands barrels of oil?
