There is an industry need for a flexible, competitive and environmentally friendly storage technology, unaffected by harsh environments, winds, waves and seasonal icebergs. The Subsea Oil Storage System consists of a structure that employs the concept of a flexible membrane protected by a dome for storage on the sea floor, and thereby eliminates problems with emulsion layer and bacteria growth. It can be placed at any water depth and is adjustable in size depending on operator needs during the development and expansion of the field. The seawater outside the dome surrounds the flexible membrane through free-flow seawater openings in the dome, such that the hydrostatic pressure acts directly on the stored fluid.

Combining the storage technology with our offloading system results in a complete and intelligent subsea storage system that allows for monitoring and level control, as well as real-time surveillance of system performance.
