Field Development

At Houlder we support field development throughout the life of your project.

We conduct studies to:

  • assess floater selection, such as FPSO, FSO, SemiSub or TLP
  • look at whether newbuild, conversion or re-use is most appropriate
  • assess station keeping selection, for example dynamic positioning, turret mooring, spread mooring and yoke
  • review F(P)SO offloading solutions: eg. tandem, CALM buoy or pipeline
  • assess riser solutions such as riser towers, flexible hoses and steel catenary risers
  • look at operational considerations for environmental threats such as hurricane, typhoon and ice
  • consider constructability & local content
