‘Petrojarl Knarr is one of Teekays largest projects to date
With a production capacity of 63,000 barrels of oil per day, and storage capability for some 880,000 barrels, the Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit Petrojarl Knarr is one of Teekays largest projects to date.
The vessel technology and state of the art engineering makes the Petrojarl Knarr suitable for harsh and ultra-harsh environments. Its internal turret allows the vessel to freely rotate 360 degrees and ensures that it always faces the rough weather present in the North Sea. Petrojarl Knarr started production from the Knarr oil field in the North Sea in March this year, and the field has estimated gross recoverable reserves of around 80 million barrels of oil, equivalent to a production life of at least ten years.
Moored 120 kilometers off Norway, the unit, measuring 256.4 meters long and 48 meters wide, is now fully operational.
