Mobile Offshore Production Systems (MOPS) offer a cost-effective alternative to conventional fixed platforms for a broad range of field applications. A MOPS is readily movable and can be floated onto a field and installed complete, ready to produce oil. All construction work can be performed at a shipyard or dock facility. When the field is depleted, the MOPS can be removed quickly and inexpensively and redeployed to another field.

Oceaneering Senior Management places a high priority on engineering excellence, commitment and professionalism as a necessary basis for successful project design, planning and execution. Engineering project support for subsea field development and mobile offshore production systems (MOPS) encompasses all of the following:

Successful projects don't just happen. A successful MOPS conversion requires the right blend of people, systems and experience. All three were combined in the schedule-driven conversion of the jackup Gulftide using Oceaneering's fast-track project management methods. Highlights of the project include:

Oceaneering was awarded a time-charter contract in November 1999 by Woodside Energy and its partners to provide a jackup MOPS unit (JPU) for development of the Legendre fields on Western Australia's North West Shelf. Under the contract, which has a primary term of three years, Oceaneering converted its jackup Marine 7 to the JPU Ocean Legend for production service. The conversion took place at Friede and Goldman Offshore, Pascagoula, Miss. Oceaneering is scheduled to install the JPU at Legendre field in December 2000 and will operate it for the contract period. The conversion, transport and installation of the MOPU have an estimated capital cost of approximately $80 million.

Time is money in an offshore field development project. Few strategies benefit project economics more than reducing the time from discovery to first oil. Mobil Equatorial Guinea Inc., tested the Zafiro-1 discovery well in 600-ft waters in March 1995. Shortly after Mobil set a target date for first oil in August 1996, just 18 months away-an unprecedented schedule for a deepwater frontier project in West Africa.

In September 1996, shortly after the start of production proved major upside potential at Zafiro field, Mobil Equatorial Guinea Inc. commenced a three-year program to expand production throughput aboard the FPSO Zafiro Producer and outfit the vessel for maximum ultimate oil recovery over a field production life of 15 years. Oceaneering served as the FPSO project manager for this additional Zafiro development as a member of the Mobil-led Phase 2 Project Task Force. Oceaneering's workscope covered all aspects of engineering, procurement, fabrication and equipment installation for the Phase 2 FPSO upgrade. The extensive construction program was the largest ever contemplated aboard an FPSO at an in-field location and was performed while production continued at normal targeted volumes.

Located at Mississippi Canyon 582 and moored in 2200 feet of water, the Medusa Spar has a processing capacity of 40,000 bopd and 110 MMscfd. Medusa serves as a production hub for deepwater field developments in the surrounding Gulf of Mexico area and can accommodate a total of nine subsea wells. The asset came online in 2003 with six dry trees and is now off its peak production plateau. Built for a robust 20-year design life, the unit has currently available production capacity.
