Floating production systems
The $5.1 billion ultradeepwater project is Angola’s first integrated cross-block development and sits at the top of Azule’s Southern African portfolio.
The Coral Norte FLNG is to be the mirror image of the Coral Sul unit, which shipped its first cargo in 2022 after it was put into service in Area 4 offshore Mozambique.
The new technology, recently highlighted at OTC, has received a statement of maturity from ABS.

The integrity management of flexible pipes used in subsea production plays a major role in maximizing the availability of the production systems while minimizing safety and environmental risks. -
ABS granted Approval in Principle to new designs for a floating production storage and offloading hull, a self-elevating unit for a mobile offshore drilling unit, and a tension-leg platform.

Historically, the marine systems on a spar are relatively simple.
-
Construction costs, contractor involvement, flow assurance, and the integration of new technologies created to improve production are some of the deepwater challenges exacerbated by the current low price environment.
