UMBILICAL DESCRIPTION

General Description
The umbilicals are separated in 2 types: 4-off Production Umbilicals (PROD) and 1-off Subsea
Isolation Valve/Riser Integrity Monitoring System (SIV/RIMS) Umbilical. The umbilical data sheets are
available in Ref [9] and [10]. Each umbilical is pulled into a dedicated I-tube.
Each umbilical is composed of a BS connected to the bottom of I-tube and a Pulling head secured
topside on top of an I-tube.
See below typical view of the umbilical between the FPSO and sea bed (and over the subsea arch).
