The project

Bring the documents into one inspectable view.

Bay du Nord is a proposed offshore development near Newfoundland. Its public documents describe the vessel, process systems and subsea infrastructure across drawings, tables and reports. This model brings those relationships together in a browser.

I used an agent-assisted workflow to reconcile the published information, construct the model and review its represented connections and geometry. The result includes the FPSO, templates, risers, moorings, process modules and a generic shuttle-tanker offloading arrangement.

The model preserves the distinction between a documented function and a reconstructed shape. Source-backed identities and arrangements sit alongside clearly identified assumptions where detailed engineering information is unavailable.

Watch before you explore

Three routes through the model.

Each narrated tour is 90 seconds. Play one when you are ready; captions are available.

01 / 90 seconds

From seabed to shuttle tanker

Follow the risers and seabed connections, then trace the offloading hose between the two vessels.

02 / 90 seconds

Across the topsides

See how oil processing, gas compression, water systems and hull storage fit into the vessel.

03 / 90 seconds

Three modules, closer inspection

Look inside the E-house and inspect oil-processing and compression modules in the separate yard view.

Inside the explorer

Choose what you want to inspect.

Explore the complete field

Move between the vessel, subsea templates and offloading arrangement. Switch between a compressed overview and source-relative geography, or reveal the network through X-ray water.

Follow the systems

Select equipment, isolate it and inspect its connections. Coloured flow layers and the 46-function, 55-connection Systems view make the represented routes easier to follow.

Inspect a module

Take a module into the illustrative yard, browse its inventory and capped interfaces, open the E-house enclosure, then restore it to the vessel.

Look inside assemblies

Explore separator, turret, subsea-tree and cooler assemblies with selectable components, cutaways and exploded views.

Open the evidence

Search 118 curated evidence records, open page-linked sources and inspect the assumptions behind an object's dimensions, position and pipework.

Try an example case

Change assumed inputs and inspect material balances, cooling duty, injection-pump power and a separate reference-pipe calculation. Equations, warnings and limits remain visible.

A visible boundary

Useful for review. Honest about what is assumed.

This is an independent public-concept reconstruction, not an as-built digital twin or a validated plant simulator. Detailed geometry, local routing, the shuttle tanker and inspection-yard arrangements are illustrative.

Scenario results use teaching assumptions rather than Bay du Nord operating values. The model's geometry checks are bounded review tools; they do not establish fabrication accuracy, structural capacity, process safety or lifting and transport feasibility.
