I was fortunate to work on this thing sometime back in 2014-15 in a dry dock in Athens, Greece it had come back from Senegal coastline where it had been stationed for 1year. It was to undergo some major overhaul before leaving for Cyprus.
An informative video on transforming an old oil shipping into a renewed oil processing ship. It is amazing what human beings can make. I am impressed by Keppel Shipyard and their ability to renovate an old oil tanker into a renovated mobile crude-oil processing plant. Needless to say Keppel Shipyard created many jobs for a lot of people from different parts of the world. This project required a lot of resources (money) to construct. It demonstrates the importance of petroleum in powering the global trading system. We need to develop new sources of energy. But it is clear that we are still highly dependent on petroleum. We must continue to develop new forms of energy, but we must continue to find new oil fields also. The so called renewable forms of energy cannot meet all of our current energy requirement.
This is a Floating Production Storage Offloading facility and not a drilling rig. This sails to locations where offshore wells have been drilled and the wells are connected to it so the oil can be pumped into it.
This is exactly right. Furthermore, this ship was contracted to Pemex because several of the wells in this basin were extracting a very heavy almost tar oil, which was plugging the long pipelines leading to shore. This ship is actually a mixing refinery, drawing from several wells that produce oil of various viscosities, and mixing/refining them in order to produce a finished product that can essentially be used around the world.
Exactly. It does not necessarily need to sail between locations, produced oil can also be shipped to shore using shuttle tankers. As far as the documentary is concerned, many FPSOs are upgraded old tankers. At USD 600 million, this is actually not that expensive. If you look at heavy lifting vessels (Pioneering Spirit of Allseas, or the Sleipnir of Heerema) or floating LNG plants (Shell's Prelude) you are not talking about millions, but about billions. These are, however, not converted vessels, but new builds.
@Pawan kohad Nope, it is not a refinery. It is basically a floating buffer. It produces oil from the wells and stores it. The oil then is tranported to shore, either via a pipe connected to the FPSO or by using shuttle tankers. The oil is refined in shore facilities (refineries).
I was on a ship back in the 80's that occasionally moored astern of one of these in the Santa Barbara Channel . One time wild fires were burning through Santa Barbara , it was weird we would watch the fires on the TV news and step out on deck and see them for real .
32:30 "Safety first guys." 30 sec later. "Hey, I'm going to need you go underneath the hanging 50 gaziilion tone generator and cut some pieces to make it fit so..... yeah." lol
sote ful It’s all relative... At one point, the Canadian oil sands wouldn’t have been considered a viable and profitable source of oil. Then the technology and economic pressures changed, and now it is. Same thing with deep off shore oil drilling, and fracking. Most of the easier, cheaper oil, is not as plentiful as it once was (I think).
sote ful “depends on methods” See that’s what I mean. It used to be that some of the oil far off shore in the golf of Mexico (or insert other harsh location) wasn’t viable. Then new oil rig technology and methods were invented, and the economic pressure was there. This is in contrast to getting it out of a well in Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Texas, which is a far simpler and cheaper well to make in comparison.
This video should show everyone that corporations will sacrifice the workers safety to save money. If this was built in any 1st world country the workers would not have been allowed to work inside a bomb.
It's 4/20/2020 and today at the end of the may contract for WTI the price was -$38 a barrel for this. I want to see part two of the video where they break apart the ship
"The world is running out of oil..." Oil Price per barrel 4-21-2020 (-$37.63) The oil companies are paying to get rid of it!! Crazy how things change...
STFU YOU KNOW NOT HOW OIL WENT THERE AND YOU WILL NEVER KNOW HOW ITS BEEN REPLENISHED THERE. YOU JUST QUOTE WHAT YOU ARE BEING TOLD, AND IF ITS MEANT TO FINISH TODAY.... GUESS WHAT??? YOU CAN'T DO NOTHING TO STOP IT, SO ENJOY IT AS YOU SEE IT AND STOP BELIEVING AND MAKING PEOPLE BELIEVE SHIT.
The worker would rather have cold hard cash, the employer awarding the bike is thinking "Now with the new bike, you can bike from the office to the ship even quicker than before"
@@FreeDocumentary u guys replied .... god i lov u guys even more. Keep them videos coming, dont stop. Civil Structural engg here, i enjoy these in free time. Thank u
What they mean is that we are currently consuming more oil than is being brought up out of the earth, so in that way we have potential to run out. We all know we’ll eventually run out at some point waaay in the future.
They work on a much longer average than 3 or 4 months. One way or another they will make a profit even if takes a bail out....THEY DON'T FAIL! They succeed or we pay, nice business model eh?
These people need to get their facts right. This is a production vessel, not a rig. The pictures of the damage shown during Katrina were not from that storm. Wonder what else they missed?
FD must put more effort on its voice-over. 1:16 FPSO is not a oil rig. Do not provide misinformation in the name of simplification. 11:0911:34 There is no such thing as "Captain's Bridge". Its a workplace and Captain doesn't own the ship. Moreover many people work at the bridge including the Captain.
Are you suggesting they don't value the life of each and every worker? Why, after a million man hours of accident-free work, the safest worker was rewarded with a shiny new bike! Life is cheap, pal. Guard your own.

Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?
This is not a drilling rig. the wells are already drilled. All it is, is a floating production facility. That stores and then pumps the oil to another ship. Being a Captain myself I would like to know about the propulsion that will keep it on location. Once it is connected to the flow lines. Is it just going to moor to the turret to the umbilical? I don't think that the pipelines are strong enough to hold that ship in place.
they'll have spotters, but navigating ships that size is almost done exclusively through radar/GPS/ship technology as they are by far more accurate than the human eye measuring and navigating the environment.
Nice documentary, but there's some glaring errors in the script. If you need someone to point out the difference between a drilling rig and an FPSO I am available if there's lunch involved.
Ashek is awesome. That guy knows how to manage stress!
I was in oil rig worker for almost 30 years and I loved it. I’m retired now I’m enjoying retirement.
Bet you made 6 figures
Doc's of projects like this warm the cockles of my heart and make me proud to be a human being!😁
Well spoken…..

Still hard to believe the amount of planfication, protocols and engineering it take to finish such ambitious project.

It's driving me crazy hearing "rig" over and over again. It isn't an oil rig, it's an FPSO.

Smart move. Turn the oil rig into a boat that can disconnect move out of the way and then return after the storm sounds very good.
Hats off to Ashek. Extremely skillful

This project is old lol
Very very brilliant am proud of the work the guyz are doing just to ensure we get to better our livelyhoods...Congrats to the team
How much salary per day in dollars as a welder
".....28:43 enough oil to keep American economy to keep going just 15 minutes ..." I love that how he put it 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
How in the world did they get the basic premise of a Rig (as in drilling) vs. Production Facility wrong? Mind boggling!
Its a stranded asset. Plain and simple. Along with all the tight oil, tar sands and the rest of the offshore industry.
Right on youtube 👍👍👍👤🎧
Ive been a oil rig worker for over 400 years and im still going like these young bucks are!!
I recently have done some dive work on this vessel... its pretty badness and a major feat of engineering
How did you get into this work?! It is fascinating
she’ll go deeper than ever before !!! damn i thought i was watching an oil rig documentary 😂😂😂
Very good job for this floating.!!
...good video too !!
SIMPLY PUT..ITS AN AWESOME UNDER TAKING 💯😱
the world is running out of oil as fast as it is running out of AIR.

@glenn hello,how are you doing
Are you an engineer?

Yep I was thinking the same thing, no ppe gear or anything, I was disgusted. All about sacrificing safety and health for money and time, sad.
T5five
yeah it really is just a big floating tank farm, no drilling just storage. kinda deceptive title
Superb documentary😎😎
Another priceless documentary.
Excellent job by the engineers.
Electric cars will help reduce the massive oil consumption
more proaganda. glad you like
Oil is abiotic. It is continuously produced by heat from the earth's mantle and percolates up through the earth's crust. We will never run out of oil.
not according to the genius you tube commentors.....
I love the nature, how they protect the Eart from the Evil Human (those who doesn't respect Nature) and destroys all in its parth :)
For thirty years I keep hearing we are running out of oil, I guess we will hear the same line for thirty more years.
@Jan van Coppenhagen
Hopefully that is sooner than later.
We can only hope, it,s sooner.
Oil is abiotic. Oil reservoir will regenerate.
Captain cabin is so nice..
49:33 "Ready to sale in to danger", uh, wasn't this ship designed to sale AWAY from danger? 😑︎
Only 50 minutes worth of oil for American. Makes me proud
These men are making some big money.

I like the documentary. 💯💯💯💯

Nice working enviroments
With oil at ten dollars a barrel, this project I'm sure is done for
how about when a barrel was negative dollars lmao
$35 again, and the lifting cost from this project can be so low. as low as less than $10
Its at $40 now
