(fillable) barrels of glycol

Explanation:
'vulvaten' is in fact not a good Dutch word, but is understood by most.
Stands for 'vaten' which can be 'filled', hence simply refers to '(fillable) barrels'.

Ref. via www.google.com):

Contractors included:
J. Ray McDermott (Amelia, LA) – deck and jacket
Bay Construction (Morgan City and Harvey, LA) – piping and equipment packages
Colt Engineering (Canada) – detailed engineering and design for glycol packages
Canadian Chemical Reclaiming – glycol reclamation license

Total cost for the two platforms was approximately $120 million.

The facilities are currently designed to handle 700 mmcf gas per day, 450,000 barrels of oil per day and to reprocess 1,000 barrels of ethylene glycol per day. There is space for additional upgrades.

Production currently comes from the Mars tension leg platform in Mississippi Canyon 807, approximately 41 miles south, from the Ursa tension leg platform in Mississippi Canyon 809, approximately 46 miles south and from the Mensa subsea production system in Mississippi Canyon 685, approximately 63 miles southeast of the hub facility.
