Operação de navios aliviadores de óleo cru nas bacias petrolíferas do Brasil

Abstract

The development of technologies in increasingly deep water is extremely important for self sufficiency in oil production in Brazil. This production in Brazilian basins in offshore fields is drained to the coast by tankers, in offloading operations systems, also called relief. In these systems, the storage unit of crude oil, which can be an FSO or FPSO, the conventional shuttle tanker unloading, and this leads to production to an ocean terminal. It is noteworthy that the use of shuttle tankers, intensified the production of oil in Brazilian basins as the main source of flow and production. The transfer (or relief) of crude oil is increasingly common for an operation to be economically viable. Thus, the offloading operation is considered vital for the oil industry, this operation being owned by a process oil flow produced in specialized platforms to reach the oil terminals. The scope of this study is to present the operations of conventional tankers in receiving the offloading of crude oil on the platforms of Brazilian oil basins, presenting in brief, the cost of these operations. As the mooring maneuvers, unmooring, connection and disconnection of shuttle tankers, also showing the platform for connecting to these vessels.
