SBM Product Summary

This page lists almost all of the product types that SBM and affiliate companies have produced since the creation of SBM. The index is in alphabetical order and is intended only to describe what each product type is. Please view the product listing page for details of specific products that SBM has developed and sold.

CALM Buoys
CALM refers to Catenary Anchor Leg Mooring. A buoy is a floating device to which vessels can moor. Generally CALM buoy refers to a Single Point Mooring buoy which has a turntable and product swivel to allow fluids transfer whilst weathervaning, although a turntable need not always be included. Invented in the 1950's the original concept of the Single Point Mooring is no longer protected by patents and there are several competitors to SBM.

Prior to the introduction of Single Point Moorings tankers were often spread moored using four or more buoys, if a jetty was not available. This has a cost not only for the additional buoys but also the mooring lines and anchor points required for each buoy. The introduction of the Single Point Mooring buoy, with rotating turntable and product swivel, allowed the mooring of tankers using only a single buoy, and hence substantially reduced the costs.

Shallow Water
The term shallow water CALM buoy simply refers to a mooring buoy which is used inshore for loading and offloading from tankers to shore. Consequently they tend to be moored in less than 150m of water. Typically they displace around 15 to 20 tonnes of water, sufficient to support their own weight of around 10 to 12 tonnes, and the weight of the mooring lines.

Shallow water CALM buoys have also been used to permanently moor a storage tanker, from which oil is offloaded to the trading tanker in tandem configuration. This is arguably the start of the FSO [link below] concept, in which teh mooring buoy becomes an integral part of the storage tanker.

A detailed description by Rene Perratone in 2007 can be found here.

Deep Water
A deep water CALM buoy is essentially the same concept as a shallow water CALM buoy, but it's use is in offloading product from a spread moored FPSO [link below], allowing the tanker to weathervane at a safe distance from the FPSO - typically 1 nautical mile (approximately 2 km).

All in West Africa due to favourable conditions Not used for Brazilian spread moored FPSO's because dedicated dynamically positioned shuttle tankers are available.

SBM has sold nine out of ten of the deep water buoys in existence (1Q2008).

Drilling rigs
Gusto has designed a range of drilling rigs starting in 19xx. The comapny has never built, owned or operated any, but continues to sell licenced designs, often customised (?) for third party consrteuction and ownership.

FSO
The name Floating, Storage and Offloading vessel explains the functions of this product. The basis of an FSO is a hull combined with a mooring system.

The hull may be either newly built or a converted tanker. The typical crude oil parcel sizes traded around the world are a function of the vessels available, which range from 500,000 barrels upwards. Many recent FSO's have been based on 1 million and 2 million barrel hulls, allowing offloading of smaller parcels of product.

A wide variety of mooring systems may be used, including SYM, internal and external turrets, ....

If new build barge type. No propulsion, generally no pump room. If conversion main tanker features retained to save on costs.

FPSO
A Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessesl is an FSO with some processing facilities on board. The level of processing can vary greatly.

Mopu and MopuSTOR
The Mobile Production Unit is, in SBM jargon, a jack up production facility that has the capability to be removed at the end of production, and hence may be leased. The key features are a deck carrying production facilities with a jacking mechanism (as developed by Gusto for use on jack up drilling rigs) to be used in relatively shallow water depths, of up to about 120m. Beyond this depth the current loading and risks of buckling and overturning become too high.

The system may be connected to export pipelines, a steel storage unit on the seabed, or an FSO. When standing on a storage unit the system is called a MopuSTOR. The storage container is steel to compete favourably against cometitor products utilising concrete storage. The steel unit is generally cheaper and quicker to build.

The Mopu may incorporate wells with dry christmas trees, which has the

The system has also been designed to incorporate a drilling facility.
