MOPU Wellbay Modules
Bespoke wellbay modules designed to be
used in conjunction with a MOPU
Quick and low cost solution for rapid
development of normally uneconomical
fields
Attaching the wellbay module to the hull of
the FPSO removes the need for a NUI or
standard jacket
Systems are designed to be either fitted to
new build rigs or retrofit to existing rigs
Allows multiple wells to be tied back to an
FPSO
Page 12
Offshore Structures
Tension Decks
Bespoke tension decks designed for
explorations and development drilling
Systems are designed to be either fitted to
new build rigs or retrofit to existing rigs
Allows multiple wells to be drilled at one
single location
Can provide up to 1500 Tones of tension
across 6 individual well slots

Offshore Structures
Sea Swift Conductor Supported Platforms
Typically NUI platforms using well conductors as
structural members.
Designed to current API and Verification body
rules.
Designed for installation by standard cantilever
Jack-up and supply vessel. No need specialist
vessel assistance.
Conductors can be drilled and cemented or piled.
Three main applications
Normally Unmanned Installation
Pre drill wellhead platform
Slot addition wellhead platform

Conductors
Typically 36 or 30 diameter Grade X52.
Premium fatigue grade connectors (e.g. National Oilwell Varco XLC-S
connectors) with excellent strength and fatigue performance.
Pile or drill conductors.
Four conductors will form the main structural support to the platform and
will be effectively fixed within the subsea structures via use of grout.
Corrosion protection will be provided.

Subsea Structures
Example of 4 Well Sea Swift
Overall dimensions of approximately: H: 13.6m W: 6.9m L: 8.1m
4 wells in a 2 x 2 array @ 6m x 4.8m spacing plus a central running slot
which can also be used as a well slot (future requirement).
Approximate weight 160 Tonnes.
4 x 42 O/D leg sleeves, and an arrangement of smaller tubular sections
interconnecting bracing members.
The subsea structure will be located at or just above the seabed and
initially supported on a central support pile. This can also accommodate
an additional well if required in the future.
All required cement grouting equipment, installation cameras, subsea
gyrocompass location fittings and guides for the export riser and subsea
power umbilical cable.
Conductors will be grouted within the sleeves.
Page 18
Sea Swift CSP
Riser Guide
Offers support/protection to the export riser and umbilical
cable.
Approximate weight will be 2.5 Tonnes
Locates over two well conductors.
Installed either following or during the installation of the 4
well conductors and prior to installation of the topsides
module.
Incorporates guide modules for the export riser and the
subsea power umbilical cable.
Will be installable using AEL patented technology.
