	8/23/2011 - FLOATEC CONFIRMS WAVE BASIN TESTS FOR SEMI DESIGNS IN SEPTEMBER
FloaTEC, LLC is preparing to conduct dry tree semisubmersible wave basin tests with Lab Oceano for offshore Brazil prospects. Tests will be carried out on a FloaTEC proprietary Extendable Draft Semisubmersible (EDS) and Deep Draft Semi Submersible (DDSS). The test program will be carried out during September 2011 at Lab Oceano’s premier laboratory, which is part of the research and development arm of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. The EDS will be tested for both Brazil and Gulf of Mexico environments, and for both in-place and extended hull installation cases. This work follows the ongoing Papa Terra P-61 EPCI project delivery, which is the first dry-tree floating production system in Brazilian waters.
