About

LOADING

Once the barge is securely moored in position using its fore and aft dual drum winches equipped with 1000 ft of 1 ½” wire rope, crude oil supply hose from the well(s) manifold is securely bolted to 8” inlet pipe located on the port bow.

DEGASSING

Oil is directed to a three-phase horizontal Bulk Separator, that will separate the gas from the oil. The Bulk Separator is designed to process fluid at a rate determined by the client’s capacity or
specifications, not to exceed 5 MMSCFD of gas arid 6500 BPD of oil. Gas and oil volumes are metered individually to accurately measure the product entering Eagle II. An orifice meter is used to measure gas and it flows to the vent scrubbing machine. The oil volume is measured with a turbine meter. The system is designed to separate water which is dumped under level control to the cargo tanks for storage or mix of oil and water can be directed to the cargo tanks.

COMPRESSION

The gas is routed to a two-stage gas compressor driven by an eight-cylinder gas engine. Gas is first cooled via forced air flowing over finned tubes prior to being measured and discharged at pressures up to 275 psi to shore via a 4 riser.

CRUDE OIL

Oil discharged from the separator/degasser is routed to anyone of eight cargo tanks comprising a total storage capacity of up to 8500 bbl. Alternatively, if well testing, the oil can be discharged to two 150 bbl Calibration tanks.

DISCHARGE

Crude oil from cargo tanks is drawn up and pumped ashore by two 21 stage Fisher pumps driven by V8 diesels. Each pump has the capacity to pump 13,500 bbls per day @ 700 psi

HEAT MEDIUM

The viscosity of the crude oil can be significantly reduced by utilizing a closed loop hot oil circulating system (>250 degrees Fahrenheit) transferring heat via a large heat exchanger and 2” coils secured at bottom of cargo tanks.

POWER GENERATION

One sound suppressed 500 KW diesel generator producing 480v/3ph/60cycle power and one150kw diesel generator provide electrical power to switch gear, main 480v breaker panel, step down transformer and 240v low voltage panel.

DIESEL

Diesel generators, fire pump and winch engines are provided diesel fuel via a 4000 gallon storage tank and delivered via one of two 2” vertical pumps. Bunkering is only required once a month and is supplied by support vessels.

FRESH WATER

Potable water is stored in a 4200-gallon tank and replenished via supply vessel or from ships reverse osmosis unit capable of generating 1200 gallons per day. One of two circulating pumps delivers FW throughout the vessel including crew accommodations.

AIR COMPRESSORS

One two stage piston air compressor (60 cfm) and one screw type (100cfm) provide continuous air pressure for either utility purposes or dried of condensation to supply instruments.

SAFETY

All electric motors are ex-rated. LEL and UEL gas detectors are located throughout the deck and living quarters; all critical pressures, temperatures, and tank levels are continuously monitored via a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with parameters set to automatically activate alarms or initiate an emergency shutdown via pneumatically controlled actuators.

Firefighting is accomplished utilizing ABC portable extinguishers, fixed Co2 system, fixed dousing, or use of foam and seawater disbursed from five fire hose reels. Lifesaving gear includes two 6-man fixed rafts and one 6-man inflatable. EPIRB, lifejackets, MOB, and inflatable dingy with outboard.

ACCOMMODATIONS

Fully air-conditioned large galley with freezer with ice machine, fridge, electric stove, large pantry and under-sink RO for drinking water. Separate sleeping quarters for 4 crew, separate head with shower, washer dryer, water heater and ample storage space. Separate crew lounge with two additional bunks. One additional toilet on deck.

MARINE SANITATION DEVICE (MSD)

US Coast Guard Type II sewage treatment plant sufficient for up to 12 persons.
