Named after the Stybarrow oil field located in the Exmouth sub-basin, this vessel is a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) facility used to process, store and offload oil onsite to export tankers. The subsea production wells are tied back into the FPSO vessel. This disconnectable, double-hulled unit is owned by MODEC and operated by BHP Billiton Petroleum. The hull of the vessel was built in Korea, and then sailed to the Jurong shipyard in Singapore, where the topsides were integrated in a six month program.

The FPSO has a storage capacity of 900,000 barrels, a total liquid process capacity of 100,000bpd, a crude production capacity of 80,000bpd, and gas production capacity of 45 million standard cubic feet per day. It also has an internal disconnectable turret, which enables the FPSO to evacuate if a cyclone were to develop in the area. This was the case in February, 2008 when Tropical Cyclone Nichloas hit the area.
