Project Brief: Petrojarl Knarr FPSO

Overview: The Petrojarl Knarr is a Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel operating in the North Sea, specifically on the Knarr oil and gas field, which is located off the coast of Norway. It plays a critical role in the extraction, processing, and storage of hydrocarbons in this offshore field, one of the key developments in the region.

Operator and Field Information:
Operator: Equinor (formerly Statoil)
Field: Knarr oil and gas field, located in the North Sea, around 120 km offshore from Norway in water depths of approximately 400 meters.
Ownership: Owned and operated by Altera Infrastructure, the vessel was built to service this field under a long-term charter.

Key Specifications:
Production Capacity: The FPSO can process up to 63,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).
Storage Capacity: It can store around 800,000 barrels of oil.
Gas Handling: The vessel is equipped to handle up to 7 million cubic meters of natural gas per day.
Hull and Facilities: The Petrojarl Knarr has a turret mooring system, which allows it to weathervane and maintain positioning, even in rough sea conditions. It is also equipped with topside modules for processing oil and gas, as well as for water and gas injection to maximize reservoir recovery.

Operations and Milestones: The Petrojarl Knarr was deployed to the Knarr field in 2015. Its development was key to tapping into the Knarr field, which was discovered in 2008. The field contains both oil and gas reserves and is known for challenging operating conditions, including harsh weather and rough seas, making the FPSO’s ability to handle difficult environments crucial.

Key Features:
Turret Mooring System: This advanced system allows the FPSO to rotate in response to weather, ensuring it remains safely moored while maintaining production.
Offloading: The Petrojarl Knarr is designed for efficient offloading of hydrocarbons onto shuttle tankers, which transport oil to market or refining locations.
Environment and Safety: The FPSO includes features to meet strict environmental and safety regulations, including flare systems and emissions control technology.
Significance: The deployment of the Petrojarl Knarr FPSO has enabled sustained production from the Knarr field, playing an important role in Norway's offshore oil and gas industry. Its design and operational capacity ensure efficient oil and gas production in a region known for its challenging environmental conditions.

This project highlights the importance of FPSO technology in unlocking resources in remote and harsh offshore environments while maintaining flexibility and safety.
