The invention relates to a system for loading of hydrocarbons from a floating vessel, such as a FPSO or FSO vessel, to an export tanker, where the floating vessel is spread moored to a sea bottom, and where the export tanker during the loading phase is moored in such a way that the export vessel to a greater or less degree can weathervane dependent upon the prevailing weather, wave and/or wind conditions. According to invention the floating vessel at least at one end is provided with a rotatable deck which can be turned when the heading of the export tanker changes.

System for loading of hydrocarbons from a floating vessel

A system for production of oil and heavier gas fractions from a reservoir under a seabed includes a field installation with at least one production well and one injection well, a vessel with means to be connected to a loading and unloading station, and a receival plant configured to load and unload the vessel. The vessel includes a high-pressure three-phase separator, an injection compressor, and either water cleaning equipment or water injection equipment that the vessel can load high-pressure well fluid that is brought into the separator and separated to lighter gas fractions, oil and heavier gas fractions, and water, of which oil and heavier gas fractions are brought to high-pressure storage tanks in the vessel, which high-pressure storage tanks include high-pressure gas which thereby is displaced out of the tanks and injected into the reservoir together with the lighter gas fractions, via the injection compressor.

System, vessel and method for production of oil and heavier gas fractions from a reservoir below the seabed

Vessel comprising a number of composite storage tanks for transport of compressed natural gas (CNG) or a combination of gas and liquid, which tanks have an elongated, cylindrical intermediate section and a lower end and an upper end, the tanks being arranged side-by-side vertically standing in the vessel, distinguished in that the hull, the bulkheads and the deck of the vessel form a closed space enveloping all tanks except from the upper end of each tank or selected tanks, for which tanks the upper end extends sealingly out of the closed space,

Vessel for transport of compressed natural gas

System for loading and unloading of hydrocarbons in waters with varying conditions, comprising an icebreaking vessel () moored to a sea bed () by a turret buoy () and where a tanker () by at least one hawser () is moored with its bow to the aft end of the icebreaker either at a distance from the icebreaker () in situations without influence from ice, or in physical contact with the icebreaker in situation when ice is present. The system further comprises at least one hose () and valve system for transferring hydrocarbons from the icebreaker () to the tanker ().

System for loading and unloading of hydrocarbons in ice prone waters

Seabed located storage for crude oil or other fluid, distinguished in that it is comprising a storage section in form of an oil and waterproof cloth formed as a flexible balloon that can be filled with, store and emptied for a storage fluid, a structure section formed as an external casing over the storage section, which structure section is closed in the upper part such that an upward close volume of size at least corresponding to the volume of the storage section is formed, but with openings to the surroundings in the lower part, an anchoring section formed as a substructure between the structure section and the seabed, with means for anchoring to or stable placement on the seabed, and a transfer section comprising pipes and valves for loading and unloading of a storage fluid, arranged in substance exterior to the upper part of the storage.
