CONTRACTOR’s operation, maintenance and asset integrity management plans.
All requirements herein provided must be considered as a minimum, according to the terms
agreed upon in the Contract.
All CS, Brazilian Administration and Flag Administration requirements for the Unit shall be
complied with. These requirements are included in CONTRACTOR’s scope of work and take
precedence over PETROBRAS’ Technical Requirements in case of discrepancies.
The Unit shall enable surface diving, supervised, operated and supplied from the Unit, according
to requirements issued by the Administration and NR-15 (“Norma Regulamentadora”) issued by
the Brazilian Labor and Employment Ministry (“Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego”). Any Unit
related diving operation shall fall under CONTRACTOR’s responsibility.
This document shall be read together with all technical documents. In case of conflicting
information between this GENERAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION and other technical document,
this specification shall prevail. In case of conflicts between GTD and SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR
OFFSHORE PRODUCTION UNITS, PETROBRAS shall be consulted.
This GENERAL TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION provides necessary information for the development
of the Basic and Detailed Design. However, they do not exempt CONTRACTOR from contractual
responsibilities during operation lifetime. CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for the provision of
all services and other requirements necessary to deliver one complete functional Production Unit
as described herein. Any calculation presented in this document is preliminary and shall be
reviewed during the Detail Design Phase.
In all documents, the word “shall” and equivalent expressions like “is to”, “is required to”, “has to”,
“must” and “it is necessary” are used to state that a provision is mandatory.
In all documents, the verb “consider” and “foresee” and all their forms (considered, considering,
etc.) are used as “taking into account” and state that a provision must be complied with.

2.7.1. SEPARATION AND TREATMENT
The oil processing will be carried through a train of degassers (see figure 2.7.1.1), with total liquid
capacity of 39,750 m3/d (250,000 bbl/d) and maximum oil production of 11,130 m³/d (70,000 bpd),
constituted of a first and second degasser, 2 (two) settling tanks, and (1) one electrostatic treater.
Gasket Plate Heat Exchangers, if considered by Contractor, shall be designed as per API STD
662 - Part 1. Equipment shall be designed as "severe service". They shall be able to stand
dynamics pressure variations resulting from fluid flow and process control. For cyclic services,
fatigue design shall be in accordance with ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2.
This configuration could be modified in function of detailed studies to be developed during the bid

evaluation
The producing oil wells will flow to the test or production headers. From there oil is sent directly to
first and second degasser in sequence.
The oil stream from the settling tank is sent to the heating system, pre-heaters and oil heater. The
oil stream from the settling tank is heated to fit the treatment temperature, being this final
temperature obtained through the use of heat from the treated oil and complemented by the hot
water system.
The heated oil at the treatment temperature (105 ºC), is sent to an electrostatic treater.
In the electrostatic treaters, the oil shall be specified with the desired quality (less than 285 mg/L
salt, BS&W< 0.5% and H2S < 1 mg/kg). It is not expected that there will need to be additional
crude processing to meet this H2S specification.
The design shall include ability to inject H2S scavenger into the suction of the offloading pumps
header.
The treated oil from the electrostatic treater is cooled in the oil/oil pre-heater and in the crude
cooler to reach the maximum temperature of 55ºC and sent to the cargo tanks, after fiscal
metering system.
In case of off-spec oil and/or off-spec water the Unit shall be able to route these fluids to an off-
spec tank (see 11.6) and also send these fluids back to the oil and/or water treatment plant to be
reprocessed. Off-spec oil can only be sent to the off-spec tank before fiscal metering. The return
to oil treatment plant shall be upstream pre-heater.
CONTRACTOR shall provide pumping system from test separator to upstream second degasser,
in order to allow receiving low pressure fluids.
CONTRACTOR shall consider slug volume (NLL to LAH of the vessel) in the 1st degasser and

2.7.1.1 SETTLING TANK
The settling separator is the third separation stage of the oil processing system. The first two
stages are high and low pressure degassers. Each tank contains three compartments; one large
tank where separation takes place and two collection sections (caissons) for the crude oil and
produced water.
At the interface level the crude will rise and the water will settle. To transport the produced water
and crude oil to downstream processes underflow and overflow connections shall be provided to
respectively the produced water and crude oil compartments.
The main separation will take place in the settling separator tank. These compartments are just
used to displace the liquids from the tank to downstream processes.
Contractor shall consider that vapor from settling tanks shall return to process plant for treatment,
upstream the VRU.
No: REV.:

TITLE:
The tank pressure control is done by an eductor or similar device. If the eductor (or similar device)
fails, the pressure control shall be done by a HV vent valve (or similar device). The Settling
Separator shall be protected against overpressure and underpressure by means of P/V breakers.
The Liquids sent to the settling tanks shall meet the following specifications:
 Maximum RVP: 10 psia at 37.8 ºC.
 Maximum Oil TVP @ Rundown Temperature to Settling tanks: 1.0 bar (a).
Liquids from the LP Degasser shall be introduced below the oil/water interface level in order to
maximize the fluids separation (location to be defined by Contractor) and shall be distributed
evenly via a sparged pipe type inlet device.
Liquid inlet in settling tank shall guarantee no disturbance in oil_water interface and a good
distribution for oil and water separation. The sparged pipe shall have a minimum length, to limit
support requirements. To ensure even distribution, the pipe shall be designed with holes taking
the bulk of the total pressure drop over the inlet device; the maximum allowable pressure drop
shall be 0.2 bar.
Any settling tanks fluids operations (transfers, crude oil washing (COW), sea water washing
(SWW) and stripping), shall not be performed through pump room.
The submerged crude oil pump shall be located in the crude oil compartment/caissons, inside the
settling tank. The oil compartments shall have the following connections for the various modes of
operation.
 Crude Oil Overflow
 Crude Oil Underflow
 Vapour Outlet
 Stripping
 Submergible Pump (crude outlet)
 Standpipes connections for level measurement
 Breather valve return
The base of this compartment/caisson shall be defined by CONTRACTOR during design phase
based on the selected liquid levels (interface, oil/water).
The submerged produced water pump shall be located in the produced water
compartment/caisson. The following connections shall be provided on produced water
compartment for various modes of operation:
 Produced water underflow
 Vapour Outlet
 Stripping
 Submergible Pump (produced water outlet)
 Standpipes connections for level measurement
No: REV.:

TITLE:
 Breather valve return

The underflow shall be located at the bottom of the produced water compartment/caisson and
shall be located above the bottom of the compartment to avoid potential sand build up in the
compartment.
Compartment/caisson for oil and water installation shall be provided with facilities to allow pumps
maintenance with no impact in operation.
For pump maintenance no man entry is required in the crude oil/produced water compartments
considering that the pump shall be pulled out of it. Contractor shall evaluate the necessity of
cleaning the pump system prior of removal for maintenance/replacement.
Single valve isolation between the underflow connection of the pump oil compartment/caisson with
the Settling Tank is acceptable.
Compartment/caisson shall have means to allow inspection from the outside according to class
requirements Furthermore, the compartment shall not be attached to a bulkhead so it can be
inspected from the outside.
Minimum of 2 settlings tanks shall be considered. Those tanks shall not be adjacent or shall have
a cofferdam between each other in order to not have a common bulkhead..
Only one tank is inspected at the time, in order to not stop the production. At least double valve
isolation is provided on the cross connections between the two tanks, for safety reason.
Furthermore, it shall be possible to operate a pump in one compartment/tank while the other tank
is under inspection.
All tanks and compartments are connected to one main vent header. Therefore, the tanks are
communicating through the overflow and underflow connections.
Due to gas flashing off from the liquids in the separator, pressure control is required to prevent
overpressure. A back up protection shall be provided (e.g. HV vent). This vent shall also be used
during start up when the tank shall be liquid filled and displaces the inert gas, start-up operation
shall not be done by educator.
It is recommended to use the vent instead of the eductor to prevent inert gas in the booster
compressor, because it is not designed for such high molecular weights.
The Settling Separator is a Cargo Tank converted into a process vessel. However, it still contains
the required connections as for a cargo tank, which are:
 Stripping Connection
 Inert gas connections
 Crude Oil Washing (COW) machines.
As per the other Cargo Tanks the settling separator tank shall be provided with a Crude Oil
Washing system
The fuel gas back-up (utility) shall be used if the level in the settling separator drops and the
eductor (or similar device) is not able to control the pressure.

all subsea valves. This is accomplished locally subsea by opening or closing an
electrohydraulic valve that provides hydraulic pressure from a common supply header from
topside to the subsea equipment valve actuator.
 It allows the use of a small number of common electrical supplies and a communication
link from topside with a “Subsea Electronics Module (SEM)” to select electrohydraulic
valve that provides hydraulic pressure from a common supply header from topside to the
subsea equipment valve actuator to open or close it according to the Operator command
selected topside.
The electrohydraulic valve is typically a three-way, two position, solenoid operated Directional
Control Valve (DCV) or “Solenoid Valve”. The DCV pressurize or depressurize the hydraulic
control line to the subsea valve actuator whenever commanded to open or close by the SEM after
this one receives the respective command from the SPCS. A given number of DCV are housed
together with two SEM inside a retrievable Subsea Control Module (SCM) installed in subsea
manifold. A typical gate valve counts as one SCM Function, while manifold choke valves and
some types of downhole valves with two actuators requires two SCM Functions.
The EHMUXSCS used by PETROBRAS is an open-type system. When the hydraulic pressure
from the SCM common supply header for the subsea actuators is removed by its respective DCV
in the SCM, a given volume of hydraulic fluid between the DCV and valve actuator and is expelled
(vented) to seawater by the SCM. The EHMUXSCS will use water-based hydraulic fluid that needs
to be maintained according to ISO 4406 Class 17/15/12 cleanliness standard by the
CONTRACTOR at all times.
Each subsea equipment with EHMUXSCS will be provided with two sets of dual redundant
hydraulic supplies from the SPCS HPU topside:
 The “Low Pressure” set with two individual supplies referred as LP1 & LP2 providing
between 1,500 psi and 3,000 psi operating pressure range for subsea gate valves;
 The “High Pressure” set with two individual supplies referred as HP1 & HP2 providing
between 3,000 psi and to 5,000 psi for the WCT´s downhole valve(s), operating pressure
range for subsea downhole safety valves.
Data acquisition from subsea sensors is provided by the SCM. The SCM also provides its own
internal “housekeeping” data for periodic record and display by the SPCS. The open or closed
status of a subsea valve is provided by indirect means using the fast scan monitoring of the

TITLE:
pressure in the respective control function DCV outlet, together with other measurements such
pressure or flow rates in the SCM hydraulic headers and fluid vent.
Electrical power and communication for the SCM is provided from topside by a pair of
EHMUXSCS Control Cabinets. Power and communication are combined in a same pair of wires of
the umbilical electrical cable. This combination is referred as a “Channel or Line”. A topside
EHMUXSCS Control Cabinet pair provides two Channels for the SCM. The Channels are referred
as “Channel A” or “Line A” and “Channel B” or “Line B. Each Channel will use one twisted pair
among the four (4) provided in the manifold umbilical electrical cable. Two other pairs are a back-
up against umbilical cable or electrical connector failures.
Each topside EHMUXSCS Control Cabinet pair is composed by two identical Control Cabinet
racks, with each rack dedicated to a SCM Channel. An EHMUXSCS Control Cabinet rack typically
houses the Channel A or B electrical modem, power supply, and data servers. Each EHMUXSCS
Control Cabinet rack also have a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) or industrial grade
computer with the logic memory map of all subsea valves, sensors, housekeeping data and status
functions that the SPCS will access to send valve commands and read all EHMUXSCS data
relevant to SPCS operation.
Both EHMUXSCS Control Cabinet racks belonging to the same pair will normally operate in “hot
stand-by” redundancy mode, with periodic update of their memory map variables. One of the two
SCM Channels will be always the “active” or “master”, with automatic or manual change over to
the other (“stand-by”) Channel in case of communication loss or failure. Each EHMUXSCS Control
Cabinet rack has network communication and hardwired I/O interface with the CCR and CIS
Systems in the FPU.
Although the SPCS operation shall be fully integrated in the CCR, a limited degree of stand-alone
EHMUXSCS operation will be possible from a dedicated Operator Work Station (OWS) to be
supplied by PETROBRAS. The OWS is intended to offer temporary operation back-up capability
during CONTRACTOR integration work for EHMUXSCS Control Cabinet racks. The OWS
software and display graphics may not allow the same flexibility and resources available in the
CCR System. A pair of OWS will be provided for use in a network with all EHMUXSCS Control
Cabinet pairs from the same Supplier (up to 4 suppliers).
7.5.1.2 Direct Hydraulic Control System (DHCS):
This type of control system is defined here as the one which each valve actuator of a Wet
Christmas Tree (WCT), downhole valve, or SESDV valves is directly connected to topside
electrohydraulic “switch” valve through a dedicated umbilical line (thermoplastic hose or tube) in
the control umbilical. The electrohydraulic valve, also referred as solenoid operated Directional
Control Valve (DCV) or “Solenoid Valve”, pressurizes or depressurizes the umbilical control line
directly to the subsea valve actuator.
A given number of DCV are housed together topside in a Well Control Rack (WCR), with electrical
power provided from the FPU CIS and the pressurized hydraulic fluid supplied by the SPCS HPU.
Except in the case of actuation of SESDV, the Direct Hydraulic control system used by
PETROBRAS is a closed type system where the control fluid depressurized from an umbilical line
by a DCV returns to the SPCS HPU return reservoir. The SESDV will be actuated by a dedicated
control panel. The return fluid from SESDV will not be allowed to return to the SPCS HPU.
No: REV.:
SHEET:
TITLE:
The WCR and the SESDV Control Panel will provide the following operating pressures according
to type of equipment used:
a) 5k-Type DHCS-WCT:
 Between 1,500 psi and 3,000 psi for all WCT gate valves;
 Between 3,000 and 5,000 psi for the WCT’s well downhole safety valve(s).
b) Subsea Emergency Shutdown Valve (SESDV):
 Between 1,350 psi and 3,300 psi.

The open or closed status of a given subsea equipment gate valve is provided by indirect means
by monitoring the pressure in the respective control function DCV valve outlet in the WCR or
SESDV’s Control Panel for display in the respective well P&ID on the CCR. For SESDV the open
or closed status will be provided also by 4-20mA pressure and temperature sensor installed in the
subsea valve and connected directly to the CIS by two electrical pair in the umbilical. The others
three 4-20mA analog sensors of typical PETROBRAS 5k or 10k Direct Hydraulic WCT (production
pressure; production temperature and annulus or gas injection pressure) are typically connected
directly to the CIS by two electrical pairs in the umbilical. The exact configuration will be provided
by PETROBRAS during the detail design phase.
The downhole pressure and temperature gauge will be connected directly to the topside Signal
Acquisition System (SAS) Panel (see item 7.5.7).

11.2.1 PLATE REPLACEMENT CRITERIA
No: REV.:
SHEET:
TITLE:
The design philosophy shall take into consideration that no hot work should be done due to
plating/structural replacement during the Unit’s operational lifetime.
Specification of hull steel renewal at conversion is based on the requirement that no part of the
hull will encounter substantial corrosion during the contract period.
Hull steel renewal shall take into account both local corrosion (pitting and grooving) and overall
corrosion.
For overall corrosion of plating and stiffeners, renewal thickness at conversion is defined such that
the substantial corrosion margin will not be reached within the FPSO life, taking into account
anticipated corrosion losses during the FPSO life. The substantial corrosion margin is defined as
75% of the allowable corrosion margin as specified in the inspection criteria of the rules.
When re-assessment is performed, the FPSO required gross thickness (TR) is the required
thickness for use as FPSO without reduction for corrosion, based on site specific gross rule
thickness, even when this is lower than the “as-built” thickness.
As a minimum, the following procedure shall be adopted to determine the steel renewal thickness
at conversion:
Tmeasured < TR * (1 – 0.75 * RL) + M25 Element must be renewed
Tmeasured – Structural element thickness – based on the Thickness Reading Report
M25 –25 years corrosion margin for uncoated steel.
TR – rule required gross thickness – to be defined by the Reassessment Study.
RL – rule allowed corrosion percentage according to Classification Society rules
The plate replacement criteria shall consider that no part of the hull will encounter substantial
corrosion during the contractual period (25 years), as per item 11.2.1.
The following table shows the corrosion margin values (M25) to be used for 25 years of operation
(Contract period) for different uncoated structural elements:

By means of coating, the start of corrosion will be postponed. Therefore, a corrosion
postponement can be considered, if CONTRACTOR ensures application of high quality epoxy
painting scheme with guarantee not lesser than 10 years. As so, the corrosion margins given in
the table above can be de-rated, due to the referred corrosion postponement effect, for structural
elements that are fully painted with the high quality performance epoxy scheme. The reduction on
the required corrosion margins in case of coated steel structural elements can be 5 years/25 years
(20% reduction) on the corrosion margins given in the table above.
