OFFSHORE FLOATING PRODUCTION METHOD

摘要

A method of conducting operations to an offshore field from multiple separated drill centers using a floating vessel (42) having a turret-mounted mooring element (44) and a workstation (48) separate from the mooring element (44) in which the vessel (42) is moored at a central mooring element location and operations are sequentially carried out at separate drill centers associated with the mooring element location by allowing the vessel (42) to weathervane to a heading associated with a subsequent drill center once operations have been completed at a first drill center.
