The SAL system was developed to represent
a low cost alternative to the STL system,
for use in situations with less demanding
operational requirements. While the STL system
is virtually weather independent, the SAL
system will typically have an upper operational
limit dependent on water depth and vessel
size / type.The SAL system design is based
on the technology of the proven STL system.
Brief presentation of SAP
The SAP system is a further development of the
SAL for use as a FPSO turret/mooring arrangement.
The SAP is in principle similar to the SAL. The
important difference is that the sea bed swivel
has the capacity to handle multi paths to accommodate
the connection of several risers and an umbilical
as required in a floating production operation.
The design of the SAP swivel is based on the
STP swivel. The SAP system represents a low cost
alternative particularly suitable for extended
well testing and for production from marginal
fields in locations with more moderate weather
conditions.
