Model Tests and Computer Simulations for Njord FPU Gas Module Installation
Recently, two gas modules have been installed on the Njord FPU, on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, to enable gas exports from the Njord Field facilities. The 100 and 200 tonnes modules were placed onto the FPU deck by Saipem’s dynamically positioned S7000 SSCV. Detailed model tests and computer simulations were carried out by MARIN and Saipem UK. The purpose of this analysis was to investigate the limits of the offshore installation's operability. Experiences gained from the actual installation in the field proved to be valuable feedback for the performed analysis
