Menu Mooring Systems You can count on us at any water depth or in any type of weather to safely transfer your produced oil and gas. Whether in iceberg-prone North Atlantic or the deep waters of Brazil or West Africa, SOFEC’s experts provide reliable and turnkey external and internal (disconnectable and permanent) turrets, spread mooring, and tower yoke systems for FLNG and FPSO vessels. External Turret External Turret We are your leader in external turret systems. For decades, SOFEC has led, and continues to lead the industry in the turnkey production of innovative, reliable, high-tech, external turret systems for a wide variety of FPSO and FSO applications operating further offshore, in deeper waters, and in harsher environments. Nearly 30 years ago, we created and supplied the external turret system for the Hunt Yemen Yepco FSO, which today is still one of the largest moored FSO vessels in the world. To date, SOFEC has designed, built, and installed nearly 30 external turret mooring systems – more than any other company in the industry. Building on that initial experience, our external turret systems have matured to embrace the most advanced technology, including swivel stacks to accommodate higher subsea production pressures and multiple risers for transfer of produced oil, gas, and water injection, as well as electricity, hydraulics, and fiber optics from subsea to the vessel or vice versa. Industry Highlights OSX-3: In Brazil on an FPSO, installed an external turret system based on a 9.5-meter segmented roller bearing in 110 meters of water, accommodating 26 risers and umbilicals Rang Dong: Supplied an external turret mooring system designed to withstand 10-meter typhoon waves in only 45 meters of water depth in offshore Vietnam Floating LNG Moorings: SOFEC has provided Petronas with FLNG SATU and FLNG DUA for varying water depths in SE Asia.
