We consider a vortex structure based on a three-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameter $H>\frac{1}{2}.$ We show that the energy $\mathbb{H}$\vspace*{-1pt} has moments of any order under suitable conditions. When $H\in (\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3})$ we prove that the intersection energy $\mathbb{H}_{xy}$ can be decomposed into four terms, one of them being a weighted self-intersection local time of the fractional Brownian motion in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$.
