Description
A production turret (a cylindrical buoy) is built into a cavity similar to a moon-pool in a floating ship-shaped production facility. The turret is connected to subsea wellheads by flexible hoses, and is moored in a fixed orientation. The ship/facility containing the process, storage and offloading equipment is free to rotate or ?weathervane? around the turret to present an optimum profile to wind and sea.
