Abstract
The Ocean Engineering Senior Design Class at Texas A&M University was commissioned to
design a close-coupled Spar/FpSO system for use in the Gulf of Mexico. A small “p” is used in the FPSO
to indicate that only part of production will be conducted upon it. The idea is that the combined structure
will rely on one mooring system, which reduces cost, and allows medium and small yield oil fields from
100 to 300 million barrels to be produced economically. The overall project was divided into three design
teams, Spar, Yoke, and FpSO. The groups collaborated amongst each other to form the complete solution,
similar to a real world situation where several design teams are working on different aspects of the same
project.
The emphasis of the yoke team was to design a yoke to connect the FpSO to the spar system. The
yoke team will concentrate on general arrangement/system design, weight, global loading, general strength
and structural design, environmental loading, and a structural analysis. As with any projects, all relevant
regulatory guidelines were followed while attempting to ultimately find a cost effective solution. Safety
was integrated into every aspect of design to minimize hazards. Efforts were made to protect the crew, the
environment, and the structures themselves.
The design objectives stated by Conoco, the project sponsor, indicated that the system must have
only one mooring system, facilitated by the connection of the FpSO to the spar through the yoke. The
higher-risk first stage oil production was located on the spar platform. Further production, crew quarters,
and oil storage were placed on the FpSO. The yoke design had to accommodate crew movement between
the spar and FpSO. The FpSO had to retain a weathervane capability so it could face bow into
environmental forces and minimize loading. The Spar was chosen to provide a dry-tree system in a design
water depth of 4700 feet. StruCAD was used to conduct structural analysis of the yoke. The specific goals
of the yoke design will include the transfer of forces, partially processed drill fluids, and crew between
structures while maximizing safety.
A bearing around the spar was designed to allow for the transfer of forces from the FpSO to the
spar. An oil ring system fitted about the spar hull allows for continuous fluid transfer while the FpSO
weathervanes. A special crew transfer deck was added to the spar so that a track mounted ramp could
allow the crew to walk from the spar to the crew quarters on the FpSO bow. The yoke design team
combined students of varying strengths and backgrounds in an effort to create a diverse design team
capable of accomplishing a successful yoke design for a close-couple Spar/FpSO system in the Gulf of
Mexico.

CHAPTER 1 Introduction
Background
Senior Ocean Engineering students at Texas A & M University are required to complete a senior
design course before graduation. The spring 2002 senior design class is to design a close-coupled
spar/FpSO floating production system for deepwater Gulf of Mexico locations. The objective of the design
is to create a cost effective solution for producing small to medium offshore oil fields, containing 100 to
300 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMBOE). A spar platform was chosen to support dry trees and
conduct first stage production. Gas removed during this production process is re-injected into the well.
From there, the partially produced oil is to be transferred to the FpSO for further production and storage.
The lower case “p” in FpSO is to indicate that only partial production is completed on the FpSO. Crew
quarters are to be placed upon the FpSO away from the dangers of high-pressure first stage production.
The entire system is to rely on one mooring system, on the spar platform, facilitated through a yoke
connection between the spar and FpSO. The yoke system must account for mooring load transfer, crew
transfer, and fluid transfer. The yoke also allows the FpSO to weathervane 360? about the spar in order to
reduce the loads on the mooring system by station keeping to bow seas. Since no oil or gas pipelines
currently exist in deepwater, shuttle tankers are used to take the oil into port off the FpSO and the high-
pressure gas is reinjected into the well. The other well byproducts, such as water and sediment, are also
reinjected into the well. The use of shuttle tankers allows the oil to enter the mainland United States at a
variety of ports. The overall design criteria for our project is outlined in Table 1-1 below. The yoke team
will concentrate on general arrangement/system design, weight, global loading, general strength and
structural design, cost, regulatory compliance, environmental loading, and a structural analysis.

Location
The floating production system is being designed for production in the Gulf of Mexico. Conoco’s
prospective field is located on the edge of the continental shelf in 1433 m (4700 feet) of water as shown in
Figure 1-1. The field is a mediu m yield field of 150 MMBOE, with an expected 55,000 barrels of oil per
day (BOPD).

Environmental Conditions
Conoco supplied environmental condition specifications for this design. A single environmental
survival condition is being used for the design. Since this is a production facility, it has a required design
life of 15 to 20 years. For this reason, the 100-year Gulf of Mexico hurricane conditions have been chosen.
Table 1-2 contains a list of wind, wave, and current data that must be considered in the design.
Table 1-2. Characteristics of Gulf of Mexico 100 Year Hurricane Conditions (Conoco, 2002b).
100 year Hurricane Wind 46.8 m/s ( 1 min. speed at 10 m ) 90.9 kts
100 year Current
-Surface to 100 m depth 1.1 m/s 2.1 kts
-Below 100 m depth 0.2 m/s 0.4 kts

-Significant Wave Height 12.3 m 40.1 ft
-Significant Wave Period 12 s 12 s
The data shown in the above table was obtained from Met-Ocean data, which was provided by
Conoco. Met-Ocean criteria also required this data to be applicable to the 360? weathervaning capabilities
of the FpSO. The full weathervaning of the FpSO about the spar is necessary because of the lack of a
predominant wind direction for this location in the Gulf of Mexico. Figure 1-2 illustrates the speed,
direction, and percentage of occurrence of the substantial winds that have occurred at this location. Since
the dominant environmental force is the wind load, all forces are assumed to ac in the same direction.

Organization
The senior design class is made up of 18 students. The class was broken into three groups of six.
Each group has performed the design on a different portion of the system. The spar group is made up of
Aaron Horine, Gennine Krautkremer, Scott Murrah, Chad Petrash, Wes Rains, and Clay Thompson. The
FpSO design group is Robert Adair, David Batcheler, Adam Dushinske, Jacqueline Gutierrez, Guadalupe
Reachi, and Matt White. Finally, the yoke group’s members are Michelle Arango-Martinez, Jamie
Armstrong, Donald Burris, Christopher Ordonez, Birgitte Rossabo, and Jefferson Stanford. The three
groups have been in constant communication to ensure the best possible total system design. A further
breakdown of the responsibilities of each member in the groups is discussed in the respective sections of
this report. The yoke group had to coordinate a flow of information from the other two teams.
Environmental forces had to be constantly updated from FpSO calculations to ensure the yoke could handle
the load. The yoke also had to adapt to size changes of the spar and FpSO. Information was also given by
the yoke team, such as weight and attachment requirements.

CHAPTER 2 Yoke System Design
Yoke System Overview

The yoke design group has strived to engineer solutions to closely connect or couple a
weathervaning FpSO and a moored spar platform. Challenges that must be overcome in designing this
system include force transfer, fluid transfer, as well as crew transfer between the two vessels. Figure 2-1
gives a general arrangement of the overall final yoke design system. The following paragraphs detail each
portion of the yoke design.
FpSO Spar
Figure 2-1. Overall General Arrangement.
The yoke group began the project by identifying major design areas in the project. Afterwards,
work was divided between the various members to ensure an efficient design process. Jamie Armstrong
and Jefferson Stanford took on the task of creating a force transfer design, using StruCAD to complete the
structural analysis. Donald Burris and Chris Ordonez developed initial concepts of fluid transfer, and
proceeded to fully design the concepts to meet pertinent regulations such as API RP 14E (API 2000).
Donald Burris used the same standards to calculate flow assurance and transfer hose design. Chris Ordonez
also aided Michelle Arango in design specifications for crew transfer. To round out the design, Birgitte
Rossabo tracked project cost and environmental loading.

Force Transfer
Structure
Force transfer components of the yoke are constructed of structural steel in accordance with
regulations set fourth by the American Institute of Steel Construction in the Load and Resistance Factored
Design (LRFD) (AISC 2000). The American Petroleum Institute in API RP 2A-LRFD (API 1996) calls for
these structural specifications. The yoke acts as both a tension and compression structure while
transferring load from the floating FpSO to the moored spar, and is designed using the LRFD regulations
governing such structural members.
The FpSO design team has calculated that an inline bow environmental live load of 226 tonnes
(500 kips) act on the FpSO during a 100-year hurricane event. This environmental force considers no
shielding from the spar. LRFD regulations state that 1.6 times the live load must be used as the minimum
design load in a steel structure to account for fatigue loading. Therefore, based on the LRFD standards, a
minimum design load of 362 tonnes (800 kips) must be used for member size determination. Due to the
possibility of catastrophic environmental consequences in the event of failure of the close-coupled system,
a factored design load of 725 tonnes (1600 kips) was used in member design for added safety.
The design load is assumed to act through one side of the force transfer yoke to adequately design
for the worst-case condition of fish tailing by the FpSO. Figure 2-2 shows a layout of the structural
members of the force transfer system.
Figure 2-2. Force Transfer Yoke.
Cylindrical HSS (Hollow Structural Section) 20 X 0.75 members have been chosen to carry the
load through the force transfer yoke from one vessel to the other. Members were chosen based on
calculations performed using procedures and techniques outlined in the LRFD manual for design of tension
and compression members. Structural analysis was also performed on several different designs using the
computer program StruCAD, a structural analysis software package. HSS 20 X 0.75 members have design
tension rupture strength of 468 tonnes (1032 kips). Using the double member construction shown in Figure
2-2, a factor of safety of 1.55 per member in the damaged, or worse case condition, and an overall safety
factor of 2.58 in the fully functional intact condition. HSS 20 X 0.75 member properties are given in Table
2-1. The total yoke is comprised of 250 m (821 ft) of total steel, yielding a total weight of 58 tonnes (130
kips), as shown in Table 2-2.

This design enables the yoke to withstand an angle of inclination of 34o , at which point a
transverse brace located 8.7 m (24.6 ft) from the spar hull will contact the crew transfer ramp above. The
layout and transverse brace are shown in Figure 2-3. In order for the yoke to achieve such a large angle of
inclination, the FpSO would have to heave 89 feet from its equilibrium position. Such a large heave
motion will not occur in the Gulf of Mexico during a 100-year hurricane. The estimated maximum
freeboard change plus heave motions of the FpSO are estimated to be 9 m (29-ft) in amplitude. This
motion only permits a maximum angle of inclination of 17.2?; therefore the yoke will not impact the crew
transfer ramp attached to the deck above. The yoke can with stand a maximum roll angle of 26o . Down
flooding of the FpSO begins at an angle of 18o . After an 18? roll, water begins to flood the FpSO. Since
the FpSO is designed to never reach this point, the yoke allows for more than enough roll.

Force Transfer Connection to Spar: Large Diameter Bearing

The yoke arm connects to a 30.67 m (100 ft) diameter bearing, similar to the one shown in Figure
2-4. Large diameter bearings such as these have been proven effective in the field in the form of internal
turret mooring bearings on FPSOs. The Barracuda P-34 FPSO is currently under construction with a 100-
foot diameter internal turret, as shown in Figure 2-4. These bearings have proven to provide efficient force
distribution as well as smooth weathervane ability. The bearing assembly is mounted a distance of 0.91 m
(3 ft) from the spar hull to allow mooring lines to pass up the spar hull from the fairleads to the chain
winches. A layout can be seen in Figure 2-5.
2-4

Figure 2-5. Detail View of Force Transfer Bearing.
The large diameter bearing allows the FpSO to weathervane 360o around the spar, keeping the
FpSO bow into environmental forces. This assumes a collinear environment in which current, wind, and
wave forces all act in the same direction. The pin connections to the high load bearing transfers load from
the FpSO through the yoke to the spar, allows for heave motions of both vessels simultaneously, and allows
for changes in FpSO freeboard due to the loading/offloading of oil and supplies. As shown in Table 2-3,
the bearing has a total weight of 100 tonnes (220 kips).

Force Transfer Connection to FpSO: Rigid Connection

The force transfer yoke is pin connected to large gusset plates rigidly attached to the FpSO bow.
These pin connections, along with the pin connected transverse brace, allow opposite sides of the yoke to
move counter to each other in a scissor type motion, allowing the FpSO to roll in the environment. It was
first believed that universal joints must be used in place of pin connections on the bow to accommodate
FpSO roll, however a physical model was built to view and better understand the hydrodynamic motions
the yoke must undergo relative to the spar, and it was found that connections that rotate only in a vertical
plane will be sufficient. Universal joints capable of the large loads that this system must endure are very
large and costly to manufacture. One-dimensional rotating hinges dramatically cut down on cost and
maintenance. Rotating connections must be located in the vicinity of the pin connection to relieve torsion
in the yoke when one side moves counter to the other during FpSO roll. Otherwise, fatigue loading due to
roll-induced torsion could be a mode of failure. FMC SOFEC has used torsion connections in yoke
systems in the field with great success, such as in their tower yoke system used in Bohai Bay, China, shown
in Figure 2-7. This system takes flow from multiple production units in the bay and transfers oil to an FSO.
The sphere between the gusset plates shown in Figure 2-6 represents the pin and torsion connection.
Rotator joints found in the market could be readily adapted to this application.

Structural Analysis Results

A structural analysis was performed on the force transfer yoke components using the
environmental forces the FpSO receives in a collinear 100-year hurricane event. StruCAD uses finite
element analysis to analyze forces and reactions on a model specified by the user. This program was used
to optimize the yoke design, shape, and placement of truss type supports within the structure. Several
design iterations of the yoke were used in a trial and error fashion before an optimal shape was achieved.
This optimal design uses straight cylindrical members to minimize deflections and transfer load. Complete
output from the analysis is contained in the appendix for member reactions, forces, moments, and shear
forces developed due to the application of the 725 tonnes (1600 kips) FpSO load. A maximum member
unity check of 0.823 occurs due to induced moments and shear stresses on various members. The unity
check is used as a maximum check of yielding. Values greater than one should be interpreted as a structure
failure. A member-by-member unity check is shown in Figure 2-8.
2-7
Figure 2-8. StruCAD Unity Check.
Physical Model
A physical model of the original yoke design was constructed in order to view the hydrodynamic
motions the yoke had to withstand. Figure 2-9 through Figure 2-13 show the motions at different stages.
The model contained in the figures is an early design. It was later found that the yoke could be best
designed with straight members. Figure 2-9 shows the yoke in the equilibrium position. The bar at the
right of the figure represents the rigid FpSO bow. The large diameter bearing mounted on the spar is
represented in our physical model on the left by the bicycle wheel labeled spar bearing. This bearing
allows the FpSO to weathervane in any environment. Hinges located at various points in the yoke allow
the structure to flex and allow the FpSO and spar to heave, pitch, yaw and roll relative to each other.

Figure 2-10 shows the motions of the yoke in heave. The FpSO bow at the right moves upward
while the spar with its relatively low heave motions is assumed to stay essentially in one position. Hinges at
the connection to the spar allow the yoke to rotate and maintain the connection between the two vessels.
Hinges located at the FpSO bow allow the vessel to pitch about its center of gravity as the heave motion
takes place.

Figure 2-11 shows the yoke motions as the FpSO rolls in waves. The member at the upper edge of
Figure 2-11 has the ability to move relative to the lower member, allowing the scissor motion of the yoke
and allowing roll of the vessels relative to one another. The cross member acts as a brace support against
buckling when axially loading the yoke. The hinge attachment of the cross member allows movement
while preserving its bracing ability.

In the equilibrium position with no vessel roll, the torsion hinge within the member is shown in
Figure 2-12. Figure 2-13 shows the torsion hinge in position as the ship undergoes roll motions, as
evidenced by the offset line. This line is the product of a paint scratch made over both sides of the torsion
hinge in equilibrium position. This hinge is needed to relieve torsion within the yoke and avoid failure due
to repeated loading of the yoke in the offshore environment as the vessels roll. Torsion hinges such as
these have been used in many yoke systems in the offshore industry for years. Figure 2-14 shows a close-
up of the torsion hinge used in the soft yoke designed by FMC SOFEC for China’s Bohai Bay.

This solution of force transfer satisfies the need for a 360o weathervane capability while allowing
for full hydrodynamic motions between the two vessels. This system is adequate to maintain a coupling
system between the two vessels, and successfully maintain this linkage during a 100-year hurricane event.
It is our recommendation that a full hydrodynamic motions and model test be completed to get a complete
overview of the full design requirements for a site-specific system. This may also allow for reductions in
FpSO loading due to environmental shielding.
Fluid Transfer
The two main concepts investigated for fluid transfer were an oil transfer ring and a wrapping hose
system. The wrapping hose system involves the use of flexible hoses for oil transfer, requiring manual
connection and disconnection. The oil ring transfer system involves a new idea in fluid transfer. Both
concepts have their own merits and are discussed in the following paragraphs. A third concept was called
the overhead oil track, that is based on an adaptation of proven swivel technology for use in transferring oil,
but it was not pursued due to several problems. First, the swivel stack and transfer lines had to be high
enough to clear every item on the spar deck. It must be suspended above the work over rig, flare tower,
and cranes. Also, a secondary ring had to be sufficiently large in diameter to encircle a lower topside spar
deck to allow for the rotating pipe to freely rotate about the decks, and go around the cranes. If no added
support at a lower elevation had been provided, the flow line would tend to take a catenary shape, allowing
for possible crane contact. Figure 2-15 provides a conceptual drawing of this concept.
2-12
Figure 2-15. Conceptual Drawing of Overhead Oil Track.
As evidenced in Figure 2-15, the flare tower was also an issue, since it could burn the track if it
was activated. Upper deck reconfiguration of the spar would have been necessary and would have created
a large weight high in the air. Since wind speed increases with height, a large moment would be generated
by the placement of equipment at this height, causing potential problems in equilibrium and stability.
Therefore, this concept development was halted and more focus was given to the wrapping hose and oil
transfer ring systems.
Wrapping Hose Fluid Transfer

The wrapping hose oil transfer concept, Figure 2-16, consists of two dual-hose systems on
opposite sides of the spar platform that can alternately be connected to the FpSO given the vessel’s
orientation. Each set of flexible hoses is supported by swinging W14 x 38 horizontal beams, extending
27.4 m (90 ft) from the spar hull. The double-hose feature allows for a contingency if one hose can no
longer operate. At the end of the beam, the hoses hang from a small vertically adjustable crane hook and
connect to the bow of the FpSO. A lazy W type device is at the edge of the beam to ease transition of the
flow line from horizontal to vertical. The crane hook also attaches to the bow to act as a tension cable in
order to limit the stresses on the flexible pipe. The hoses are 129 m (425 ft) long, the circumference of the
spar hull with additional length for transport across the gap to the connections on the FpSO, allowing for
excessive rotation before connection of the opposite hose set must be made.
The hoses require a crewmember to connect and disconnect them from the FpSO at all times.
Also, a crewmember must lower and raise the hoses with the crane hook during the hose switch, and must
reel the hoses back onto their spools. Two connection sets on the bow of the FpSO allows for continual
flow as one set is disconnected only after the other is connected and flowing. This is a standard procedure
used by industry for a number of years and is similar to operations required for FPSO offloading. A close
up view of the crane hook and tension cable system can be seen in Figure 2-17.
2-13
Figure 2-16. Wrapping Hose Oil Transfer.
Figure 2-17. Close-up of Wrap Hose Support.
2-14
Each supporting arm consists of the above horizontal I-beam holding the hoses at top deck level,
and an angle brace, made from a W10 x 33 beam 23.5m (67 ft) long, and a support column mounted to the
sides of the three decks of the spar. The flexible hoses are fed through a reel system located on the deck.
Again, this is similar to FPSO offload systems.
Given that this oil transfer concept does not rotate about the central axis of the spar hull, it requires
continuous attention for hose changes and it cannot provide unmanned operation. This is a system
limitation, since shut-in of the wells and hose disconnection must occur before the crew can leave in a
severe weather event.
Oil Transfer Ring

The second developed concept of fluid transfer is an oil transfer ring. This ring is around the spar
in a collar fashion, similar to the bearing discussed above in the force transfer design. It also has a 0.914-m
(3 ft) gap from the spar hull to allow for mooring lines. The ring is 0.305 m (1 ft) deep, with an additional
0.305 m (1 ft) gap to the outer hull. The ring is 0.305 m (1 ft) wide, with the same gap to the outer hull.
The tank will hold 43 barrels of oil at a time. This size was selected to ensure continuous oil transfer at
maximum production of 60,000 barrels of oil per day. This air gap contains oil sensors to protect against
leakage situations. All parts are made of 12.7 mm (0.5 in) steel. Figure 2-18 details the general layout of
the concept.
Spar
FpSO
Figure 2-18. Overview of Fluid Transfer System.
Since first-stage production is completed on the spar, the fluid can be piped down the side of the
spar and into the tank through a hard connection at atmospheric pressure. The lid of the tank rests upon
bearings, so that it can rotate as a ring around the spar as the FPSO weathervanes. A pump is on top of the
rotating lid above the tangential connection of the force transfer arm. A backup pump is located on the
opposite side of the lid in order to have redundancy. This second pump would be used to maintain
production if the primary pump fails. A “dip tube” running below the pump taps into the oil reserve to
pump it out of the tank and into a hard pipe connection over to the FpSO. Figure 2-19 provides a cross
section of the tank.
2-15
Figure 2-19. Cross Section of Oil Transfer Ring.
Hard pipes transfer oil down 0.610 m (2 ft) from the oil transfer tank to the force transfer
connections. Flexible hoses transfer fluid along the force transfer yoke arms to the FpSO deck. Weight
calculations are in Table 2-4, with a total concept weight of 38.79 tonnes (87 kips). The oil ring holds 43
barrels of oil. Figure 2-20 shows the dimensions of the oil transfer ring.

Figure 2-20. Oil Transfer Ring Dimensions (units in m).
Flow Assurance
In either fluid transfer concept, a 21.6 cm (8.5 in) outside diameter flexible hose with 0.64 cm
(0.25 in) thick walls was selected to meet API RP 14E codes. A spreadsheet courtesy of FMC SOFEC
(Boatmen 2002) was used to aid in hose design. The spreadsheet is based on API RP 14E (API 2000) code
and facilitates a rapid design and check process. At 55,000 barrels of oil per day, the pipe has a flow
velocity of 3.4 m/s (11.2 ft/s), resulting in 4.7 m3 /min (166 ft 3 /min) of oil transfer. The 3E-143J Type B
IMO Pump can deliver the required flow rate. It is an electric driven, single stage, screw pump capable of
continuous operation. It was chosen over other pumps for its compact size, continuous operation, and low
maintenance requirements. In hard piping areas, steel pipes with dimensions identical to the flexible hoses
are used. By using the same dimensions, coupling of the hoses is easier than if a size conversion coupling
had to be used. The hoses and pumps specified can accommodate a maximum of 65,000 BOPD. If higher
flow rate is desired, larger hoses must be used. The oil transfer ring would also need to increase in size to
accommodate a larger capacity.
Crew Transfer
The purpose of the crew transfer system is to move personnel continuously between the FpSO and
the spar using a suspended ramp. The ramp is connected to the front of the FpSO’s crew quarters on a
stationary platform. Figure 2-21 shows the placement of the crew transfer ramp. The FpSO platform has a
length of 4.4 m (14.5 ft) and 3 m (9.8 ft) wide. The crew can access this platform by a door located directly
in front of the ramp leading into the crew quarters. The ramp spans 47.3 m (155 ft) from the FpSO to the
spar with a width of 2.13 m (7 ft) and a thickness of 1.26 cm (0.5 in). The ramp then is connected to the
other end into another stationary platform mounted to the bottom of the spar’s lowest deck or bottom deck.
2-17
Figure 2-21. Crew Transfer Deck Dimensions (units in m).
The ramp has a fixed pin connection on the spar side and a tracked pin connection on the FpSO
side to allow for hydrodynamic motions. This pinned connection is linked to a rotating track. The spar end
of the ramp rotates about the stationary platform with the FpSO. The spar stationary platform is circular,
and it is suspended from the bottom of the first deck. It has an inner diameter of 30.5 m (100 ft) and an
outer diameter of 34.5 m (113 ft). The circular platform is 1.98 m (6.5 ft) wide and 0.64 cm (.25 in) thick.
This circular platform surrounds the spar deck legs and also leaves sufficient space for the mooring system
and any other objects that may be coming from top decks to lower decks. 12-vertical I-beams (each welded
to supporting horizontal I-beams and to the bottom of the lowest deck) hold the platform 3 m (10 ft) below
the deck and 21.3 m (70 ft) above the waterline.
At the FpSO connection, the ramp is pinned to a track that allows horizontal movement. This
negates compressive loads on the ramp due to surge and heave of the FpSO. The track is mounted to the
outside of a small platform attach to the crew quarters which is 15.5 m (51 ft) above the deck and 22 m
(72.2 ft) above the waterline. Given the freeboard variation of 4.6 m (15 ft), an estimated FpSO heave of
3.6 m (11.8 ft), and the bow moving 0.05 m (0.2 ft) closer to the spar during heave, the ramp only moves
0.04 m (0.15 ft) horizontally, but the track allows 0.5 m (1.6 ft) of motion. This allows for more than
adequate compensation.
The estimated maximum ramp inclination when the FpSO is in operation is ?3.6?. When it goes
through a 100-year hurricane condition the expected angle of inclination is ?24.7?. This would cause the
bow to move 3.6 m (11.8 ft) closer to the spar and the ramp would move 0.74 m (2.5 ft). To accommodate
roll, the ramp has a torsion relief joint and a horizontal hinge that rotates in the horizontal plane, both near
the FpSO connection. A close up of these connections can be seen in Figure 2-22. The torsion relief joint
consists of a rotating axle parallel to the ramp that connects ramp sections and allows the structure to twist
with minor roll motions of the FpSO. Flexible covers to ensure the safety of the personnel cover the
connections between the FpSO platform and the ramp, the spar platform and ramp, and the torsion relief
joint and horizontal hinge.
2-18
Figure 2-22. Crew Transfer Ramp Connection.
A chain-link fence encloses the ramp on all sides for safety. It prevents crewmembers from falling
off the ramp and it prevent falling objects from contacting crew members. Also, a stationary chain-link
fence on the interior of the platform and a rotating chain-link fence (moving with the ramp and FpSO) on
the exterior, each 3 m (10 ft) tall, hold the crew safely. In compliance with the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA 1998) a safety railing system of more than 1.07 m (3.5 ft) in height had to be
placed along the walkway. The railing also rotates with the exterior fence and has adequate lighting. All
the fences are corrosion resistant. Four ladders, spaced around the platform, provide access to the working
decks. OSHA 1998 requirements were investigated in depth for guidelines with respect to walkways
between two structures over water. It specifies that there may be no suspended load over the ramp while
people are on it. The crew transfer system weighs 41 tonnes (87 kips), and the individual components are
tabulated in Table 2-5.

Environmental Loading
Environmental loading typically includes wind, wave, and current forces. In Chapter 1, Table 1-1
details the 100-year storm data. However, this yoke system is high enough above the water level to avoid
effects due to waves and current. Even though the yoke is theoretically always bow into the wind, and
receive shielding from the spar, both bow and beam forces were calculated for design considering no
shielding. Calculations of wind force effect on each portion of the yoke system can be seen in Table 2-6.
The yoke system receives a total force 172 kN (39 kips) in the beam, and 61 kN (14kips) in bow direction.
These force values are valid for the system when the oil transfer ring is used. If the wrapping hose is used
instead, the force values change to 168 kN (38 kips) in beam, and 61 kN (14 kips) in bow. Loads were
provided o the spar group to be included in mooring system design.

Yoke System Cost

Minimizing cost has been an overall objective for the entire project. A design currently exists in
which a 2 km distance separates the spar and FpSO. To transfer oil between structures, a mid-water
insulated flow line had to be designed, at a cost of $15 million (Conoco 2002) that has been itemized in
Table 2-7. Flow line cost is based on length required in each design, and information was obtained through
personal communications (Mekha 2002). Cost of safety railings, fences, and gates were obtained from the
Derenzo Fence Company website (DFC 2002). The total material and construction cost of the yoke system
using the oil ring is $10.4 million. The total cost using the wrapping hose concept is $13.6 million. This
system is $20 million less than a traditional mid-water flow line.

Design Conclusions and Recommendations
The largest variable in the yoke system is how to transfer fluid. The oil ring provides the greatest
benefit to the overall system. It moves the weight of oil transfer to a lower area of the spar, having less
negative effects on ship motions, and allows for continuous unmanned operation. The seals required by the
tank are a limit, but it is highly feasible that they can be made. Industry has provided indication that a seal
similar to an API floating roof on an oil storage tank could be adapted for this use. The use of the wrapping
hose oil transfer requires the system to be manned at all times, thereby limiting the system. However, the
wrapping hose system does use proven technology. The yoke system with oil transfer conducted through
the transfer ring still has a greater overall benefit than the wrapping hose oil transfer system. It is
recommended that a full hydrodynamic motions study and a model test of the coupled system be completed
for site specific conditions to get a complete picture of the behavior of the system. Costs could possibly be
reduced by getting more accurate environmental force numbers for the coupled system. Regardless of what
fluid transfer system is used, this design provides a viable solution to creating a close-coupled spar and
FpSO system. The concept is economically feasible, as well as technically viable. Further work should
include an investigation of having all hinges in the system, located on both the crew transfer ramp and the
force transfer yoke, parallel in the vertical plane. This alignment may lead to more favorable motion in the
yoke, with movement of all parts at the same time. A total yoke system, that provides transfer of force,
crew, and oil using the oil ring, can be built for a cost of only $10.4 million, saving $22 million over a mid-
water flow line.

CHAPTER 3 Executive Summary
The eighteen Ocean Engineering students of the Texas A&M University 2002 Ocean Engineering
senior design class feel that the close-coupled Spar/FpSO floating production system shown in Figure 3-1 is
a technically viable solution for offshore oil production of intermediate size fields. A summary of design
criteria is outlined in Table 3-1. Table 3-2 details the 100-year hurricane design environment conditions.
Conoco volunteered to sponsor the class to help design a system with a 20-year design life, operating at
55,000 BOPD in 1433 m (4700 ft) of water in the Gulf of Mexico.

A critical component of this floating production system is the yoke coupling that brings it all
together. Yoke componets can be seen in Figure 3-2. Oil transfer from the spar to the FpSO is the most
difficult design aspect. The oil ring provides the greatest benefit to the overall system and is the
recommended concept. It moves the weight of oil transfer to a low area of the spar, having little negative
effects on hydrodynamic motions, and allows for continuous unmanned operation. The seals required by
the tank are a limit, but it is believed that they can be manufactured. Industry has provided indication that a
seal similar to an API floating roof on an oil storage tank could be adapted for this use. The use of the
wrapping hose oil transfer requires the system to be manned at all times, thereby limiting the system.
However, the wrapping hose system does use proven technology. It is recommended that a full
hydrodynamic motion study and a model test of the coupled system be conducted for site-specific
conditions to get a complete picture of the behavior of the system.

Figure 3-2. Yoke Components
Crew members are able to traverse between the two vessels. The crew transfer ramp is connected
into the side of the crew quarters on the FpSO bow so that the crew does not have to move about the FpSO
in order to go to the spar. If the cranes have any suspended load over the crew ramp, the ramp must be
closed. The only other limitation to when the ramp can be used is during severe weather. While it has been
designed to withstand a 100-year hurricane, it is impractical for the human body to make the crossing
during those conditions. Regardless of what fluid transfer system is used, this design provides a viable
solution to creating a close-coupled spar and FpSO system. The concept is economically feasible, as well
as technically viable. Further work should include an investigation of having all hinges in the system
located on both the crew transfer ramp and the force transfer yoke, parallel in the vertical plane. This
alignment may lead to more favorable motion in the yoke, with movement of all parts at the same time. A
total yoke system, that provides transfer of force, crew, and oil using the oil ring, can be built for an
estimated cost of $10 million.
This system satisfies the design objective of coupling a spar and FpSO in a joint floating
production system that relies on one mooring system, while preserving the FpSO ability to weathervane. It
is designed to meet ABS and API guidelines. Coast Guard regulations, OSHA standards, and OPA 90 have
3-2
all been followed to ensure safety. Table 3-3 shows the cost of each portion of the system, and the total
project cost has been estimated at $392 million.

A cost comparison of the close-coupled Spar/FpSO system with an existing system is illustrated in
Table 3-4. The existing system consisted of a full production spar with light/medium workload, a Floating
Storage and Offloading vessel (FSO), with a mid-water flow line transporting the produced fluid between
the two vessels. There is an approximate separation of 2 km between the Spar and FSO. Table 3-2 shows a
cost savings of approximately $65,000,000 for the close-coupled system compared to a typical system in
use today.

One difficulty encountered during the project was design integration. This project is the first
exposure to working on a project so large, where different groups are each designing components of the
same system. However, the completion of this project has provided a rewarding experience, and many
lessons have been learned. Learning how important communication is throughout the design spiral is quite
possibly the most important lesson learned. All students involved have gained an understanding of a large-
scale real world engineering design process.
The entire design team recommends that model testing be conducted to prove the viability of the
design described in this report. A clear understanding of force and structure interaction may allow for
smaller, less costly design modifications. It is hard to account for environmental shielding effects, and any
current anomalies that may result from wave passing the spar. There are also other uses of the system yet
to be explored. Since part of production and the crew quarters have been removed from the spar, it may be
possible to have more ext ensive drilling equipment on the spar. The work over rig used in this design
could potentially be replaced with a fully functional derrick allowing for extensive drilling capabilities.
This could alleviate the need for the use of a separate drilling vessel to drill extra wells. It has been proven
technically viable that the close coupling of a spar and FpSO can provide a cost effective dry tree solution
that supports deep and ultra-deep water oil and gas production at a cost benefit over existing systems .
