The FSU functions solely as a crude oil storage and export facility. Stabilized oil is transferred from the PDQ platform via a dedicated pipeline and riser system into the vessel's cargo tanks. The FSU is turret-moored to allow weather-vaning and is permanently stationed at the field location. Systems include cargo pumping, inert gas generation, crude heating and circulation, and custody transfer metering for tanker offloading. Offloading is performed via tandem configuration to shuttle tankers. Utilities include power generation, ballast and bilge systems, fire and gas detection, firefighting systems, and marine control systems. The FSU does not process hydrocarbons beyond storage conditioning and does not handle produced water or gas. Design emphasis is on safe long-term station-keeping, storage integrity, and reliable offloading in severe weather conditions.
