BW Pioneer is the first FPSO, operating in the Cascade and Chinook fields in the US Gulf of Mexico (GoM).

When completed in the third quarter of 2009, the FPSO will be turret moored at a water depth of around 2600 metres – the deepest waters ever for an FPSO. It is designed to disconnect and move by its own propulsion to safe waters from an approaching storm.

To be named BW Pioneer, the FPSO will have a storage capacity of about 600,000 barrels of oil, a process capacity of 80,000 bopd and gas export facilities of 16 mmscfd. This FPSO unit will be leased by Petrobras America Inc., and production on the Cascade and Chinook fields is expected in the first quarter of 2010.
