The newbuild FSO, based on a Suezmax-type hull, will be equipped with a Disconnectable Turret Mooring (DTM) system designed by SBM Offshore. The FSO will be moored in a water depth of about 2,500 meters and will be able to store around 950,000 barrels of crude oil.
The Trion field is located 180 km off the Mexican coastline and 30 km south of the US/Mexico maritime border. The Trion project is an alliance between Woodside (60%, Operator) and PEMEX Exploración y Producción (40%, non-Operator).
