Nganhurra is the 900,000 bbls FPSO with very unique design which enables her to travel at 12 knots, at designed draft without tug assistance. A FPSO with propulsion function is very rare and there has been only one new building

FPSO with the function, whose name is

Sea Rose (940,000 bbls FPSO) built by

Samsung. Therefore, Nganhurra is reportedly only the world second FPSO with propulsion function.

The Enfield field, where Nganhurra is deployed, is located in the Carnarvon

Basin, approximately 40 km offshore from North West Cape, Western

Australia.

The field development concept com- prises the use of subsea wells and flow- lines to support a single Floating

Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility to receive reservoir flu- ids (oil, water and gas). Nganhurra is moored on location with a water depth range from 350 to 700m, using a discon- nectable single point mooring system.

The FPSO will disconnect the single point mooring system and evacuate when a very strong cyclone comes.

The FPSO's Topside processes the produced fluids into oil, gas and pro- duced water streams. The stabilized crude oil will then be stored in the cargo tanks of the FPSO and offloaded to tan- dem-moored trading tankers via a float- ing flexible hose, and produced water will be further treated using hydro- cyclones prior to disposal overboard.

Twelve (12) deep-well cargo pumps with 700 cu. m./hr. are installed to trans- fer 550,000 bbls of cargo oil within 24 hours.
