The optimization of turret location on FPSO in Malaysia seawater

As Malaysia has start deepwater oil exploration near offshore Sabah, more floating structures have been installed. However, less study has been conducted on FPSO with turret mooring system in Malaysia seawater, especially in offshore Borneo. Even though offshore Borneo is part of South China Sea, th...
