The FPSO should be able to produce through a gale... Sure will experience waves > 17m and get on with it happily.

Do have some weather constraints for offloading, shuttle tanker will be reluctant to link-up when waves > 5m and winds > 40kts.

Can see a link-up video here (has sound/music, but is well worth a watch)

All the best

MO

You are correct feelinlucky

The last thing the FPSO wants to be, is FULL... Will have nowhere for produced oil to be stored and production will have to cease.

From what have experienced will tend to offload when around 80% full, can use Armada Kraken as an example, has capacity to store 600k barrels, but usually starts offloading when has nearly 500k onboard, allows for hook-up delays etc...

Good luck

MO

Cheers Pelle

Still unsure why such a massive drop in BUMI SP...What happened ?

Cheers

MO

Any links for Bumi debt issues ???

Could be a cheap lease buyout for ENQ....

MO wishes no ill on Bumi, was a difficult project and have behaved respectfully... Hope can survive.

Think Mariner is now heaviest oil extraction in UK, have observed recent second offload....

MO's feeling some attraction to Equinor, are everywhere...

Good luck all for interesting week...

MO

Tengiz II :-) but reduced sulphur, fingers crossed...

Weather not bad for December either...

Good luck all

MO

LOL Chilts...

Yes, we are linked and formed by many, Celts, Vikings, Scandinavians, French, Spanish, Roman, German etc... That is a fact. Think Imperial Empire

If the UK is such a basket case, that can no longer add value to the world then will agree, maybe is time to become subservient to the EU.

You use "neighbours" as an example... Is nice to have good neighbours, but do they tell you what to do in your house ???

MO's finished for politics, will stick to next tanker... All the best and hope you've lol'ed

MO

LOL Smasher...

That's why MO's happy to be a CASPer...

Good luck all CASPers

MO

Must say, MO's sick of many front-line politicians and apparent incompetence, if cannot deliver democracy and cannot run a country, might as well resign all UK parliament, If we remain in the EU, us Brits might as well be directly governed by Eurocrats, cuts out a layer !!!

Made a mountain out of a mole hill... Is not a surprise...

Has even put off MO watching the news... is sad !!!

MO

What's in store ???

Have ENQ Update (or do we, lol)
Have OPEC+ in Vienna, can feel is important... Iraq's gone wild !!!
Have Rose', ooops

Anything else ??

MO

Hey gkb47

Is compared to what I thought the workovers would achieve...

Was hoping would have been in 8-10ks, is obviously a very wet reservoir, so maybe is why water injection is used sparingly, just thought is logical to assume would get better production rates when supported by water injection.

Hope explains, but yes is obviously better than 2k...

MO

AK's back and shining brightly in the world of AIS :-)

Hopefully she's back with a vengeance and not taking prisoners...

Time to shine... Good luck all

MO

Hey E121

Based on OGA stats for Sep, looks like Alma water injection still not operating... Would explain lower rates.

Might get a 550k from AK, maybe more if a 40 hour job, around 26-28 hours offloading for standard 500k.

Is always trickier guessing offload on larger tankers, will try best...

MO

Hey Chilts

Don't think AIS has failed, has almost certainly been intentionally switched off, like what happened prior to acceptance sign-off.

Hopefully AK will rise like a phoenix when turned back on, lol, is how imagined. Then the roaring Kraken beast intended :-)

Can hope, cheers

MO

Hey E121

AK per FDP = 10-15k bopd improvement over current levels, is needed for MO's happiness, MO not given-up yet, will give a little longer for optimisation, lol

Is big ole tanker for STS " SEA AMBER", can hold almost 950k of Kraken crude, NO can hold 800k, will be a tricky ballast guess...

Have good-un

MO

Is confirmed, from Scapa Port

Dec 4 - 18:00 NAVION OCEANIA Crude/Oil Products Tanker S.T.S.2 Kraken Field, United Kingdom

Equates to tomorrow early link-up for 17.'5 days since #27 departed...

Not great, and can calculate Kraken's Oct and Nov figures will be slightly lower than Q3 ~30k gross. Need a good December !!!

Hoping other assets, like West Don following well enhancing will show better for October, might be included in ops update...

Good luck all, could do with some good news...

MO

Thanks for interesting G20 info E121

PS... Have feeling Won't be NO (despite on perfect course) and Won't be tomorrow (despite due in early hours), lol at double, double bluff..

LOL...

Meet Sod and his law, no comment lol

MO

Ooooooooooo

Looking better, back in range @ 10kts and seemingly passing by Captain field :-)

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:-1.7/centery:58.3/zoom:11

Fingers crossed for hook-up tomorrow, weather perfect !!!

https://www.windfinder.com/weatherforecast/viking_north_sea

Can sleep well now, lol

MO

Same to you...

Will probably go to Captain field... Will find out in the morn, have a good-un all

MO

Good evening Chilts

Does look like Stena Natalita is heading our way and could be in place tomorrow morning... (HK also looked like heading our way, MO not counting chickens).

Is in stealth mode, SN's storage capacity, max ~650k, should retain little ballast allowing reasonably accurate guess for offload size...

Would also be first Kraken load destined for Germany, does account for no STS allocated...jah.

Good luck all

MO
