This paper describes the global mooring analysis conducted for the Terra Nova FPSO, located on the Grand Banks, offshore Eastern Newfoundland, Canada. The FPSO has a disconnectable internal turret mooring system that must withstand the 100-year storm environment, and be disconnectible to avoid collision with large icebergs. The global analysis of the FPSO vessel and mooring system focuses offloading, disconnect and reconnect operations, and analysis was performed using sophisticated analytical and numerical techniques, integrated with a comprehensive model test program primarily for verification of the analysis. As the Terra Nova FPSO is the first such platform to operate in an iceberg region, a focus of the analysis was in studying the interaction of pack ice and icebergs with the FPSO system. The methodology used to analyze the FPSO system is outlined in this paper and some key results are presented.
