Bleo Holm FPSO
The ’Bleo Holm’ is the sixth Bluewater designed, built, owned and operated Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Unit (FPSO).
The vessel commenced operations in the first half of 1999 at the Ross & Parry Fields for Talisman Energy (UK) Ltd.

Production was suspended in March 2001 to allow onshore topside modifications to the Bleo Holm. These modifications were completed and the vessel returned to the field for offshore hook-up ahead of the project schedule, allowing production to resume on Ross & Parry fields near the end of June and to initiate first oil from the Blake Field just two days later. The Blake field, operated by BG International (NSW) Ltd., is located approximately 10 km from the Ross & Parry fields.
The Bleo Holm’s main functions are:
  • Receipt of fluids from subsea wells
  • Control of the subsea wells
  • Processing of the incoming fluids for separation into crude, water and gas
  • Storage of the stabilised crude oil and maintaining it at the required temperature
  • Treatment of effluent for discharge of water to the sea
  • Chemical injection
  • Export of produced gas to the Frigg pipeline. Part of the gas is utilized as fuel
  • Offloading of crude into “tandem moored” shuttle tankers
  • Power generation for process, gas export, offloading and utilities
  • Provide accommodation for operating and maintenance personnel
  • Provide helideck for helicopter operations
All systems are designed for a minimum annual average production up-time of 95%.
