Summary Information
- Name: Gryphon FPSO
- Field: Gryphon Oil Field
- Country: UK
- Ownership: Total
- Website:
- Field Operated By: Total
- Capacity: bpd
- Year of Completion: 1993
Brief Description
- The vessel is the longest serving permanently moored FPSO in Europe
- The FPSO is 258 metres long, 41 metres wide and 24 metres deep
- It is capable of storing 540,000 barrels of oil
- Gas production is constrained by processing capacities at the Gryphon FPSO, currently limited to 47MMScf/d of gas handling (gas export, gas lift and re-injection) via three compression trains.
- The glycol dehydration system has an installed capacity of 90MMScf/d (potential future gas expansion capacity).
- Produced water facilities consists of treatment equipment (design rate of 110,000 bwpd) and reinjection equipment for reservoir pressure maintenance and disposal (design rate of 79,000bwpd).
- Main power generation for normal operations is provided by two 8.5 MW gas turbine generators, with further power generation provided by up to five 3MW diesel driven generators, according to operational requirements. All five diesel generators are able to operate in parallel with the gas turbine generators
