SUMMARY
Indonesian oil patch is full of marginal oil fields which if developed will help to boost the economy of the continent
tremendously. Such marginal field is uneconomic to be developed using current technologies based on the existing
production facilities. This research proposed a methodology to optimize FSO principal dimension based on motion
criteria subject to defined platform and metocean at a specified location. Parametric study involving 72 main dimensions
variation had been carried out for various L/B and B/D ratios. Such main dimension variations were derived based on
the existing FSO operated in Java Sea. Numerical simulations have been conducted using Hydrostar to investigate
motion responses in both regular and irregular waves. The results obtained from the investigation indicated that heave,
roll and pitch motions were influenced by L/B and B/D ratios. It is concluded that the design methodology to suit
specific metocean conditions is an effective approach to minimise motion behaviours.
FSO may be used as a floating production facility for oil The initial hullform used in this study is FSO Cinta
marginal field. In the life cycle of a floating facility, it is Natomas that has been operating in Java Sea. The
hullform was modeled using Hydrostar with the scale of In this study, 72 ships have been analyzed for their

Before analyzing the results of the FSO seakeeping 5 168.75 37.5 25 17.22 4.5 1.5
simulation by numerical methods, validation should be 6 172.5 37.5 25 16.85 4.6 1.5
made to determine whether the simulation is correct. The 7 176.25 37.5 25 16.49 4.7 1.5
validation process was done by comparing the simulation 8 180 37.5 25 16.15 4.8 1.5
results obtained with the experiments that have been 9 183.75 37.5 25 15.82 4.9 1.5
done in previous studies [3]. A typical validation result is 10 187.5 37.5 25 15.5 5 1.5

in the graphs above that the difference between the 34 216 40 25 12.62 5.4 1.6

One of the main factors that influence the size and

arrangements on the FSO is the oil storage capacity. This 46 230 50 25 9.48 4.6 2
factor is directly related to displacement vessels, which 47 235 50 25 9.28 4.7 2
in this study will be used as constraints in determining 48 240 50 25 9.08 4.8 2
