Basically there are two categories of mini designs, one is a power buoy, the other a control buoy although these characteristics may be combined for each to a degree. The Power Buoy has been developed to cater for harsh environments where as the Wave Rider is a low cost benign solution, each design offering subsea control capabilities. A further development is the Sea Dart which is basically a catenary moored low cost power buoy designed for harsh environments. There are many riser designs available each offering a way to transfer well fluids to and from the floater. Riser designs are basically environmentally driven by water depth and vessel motions. Other design areas are riser diameters and insulation. The key consideration for a floater is where the riser interfaces with the hull. Within a benign environment this may be straight forward and simple steel catenary or flexibles may be possible. This is more complexed if a very deepwater reservoir as insulation requirements is more of an issue.
