The Aoka Mizu is an FPSO (Floating production storage and offloading), and as sotb pointed out why do you need storage when production can be tied into the forties pipeline.
Assuming the AM were to become available it would have to be upgraded for gas disposal/export, water injection and electrification and whilst this may be cheaper than a new platform there would be the ongoing daily rate plus share of revenue to Bluewater but the main reason is the AM’s maximum liquid handling capacity which would limit maximum production well below the peak 35,000 bopd forecast by JOG bearing in mind the likely water cut.
