    FPSOs are floating production, storage and offloading facilities used in offshore oil and gas production. They allow development of fields in deep water where fixed platforms are not economically viable. Key advantages of FPSOs include their mobility and ability to be relocated. Global demand for FPSOs is expected to double in the next decade as they enable production from remote and deep water fields. Records continue to be broken for deepest, largest and most advanced FPSO facilities to support production from the most challenging offshore oil and gas fields.

    Presentation Content
    History of Floating Production Systems Introduction to Field Layouts What is an FPSO..? Advantages of an FPSO Types of Processing Unit Major milestones affecting FPSO use Demand for FPSOs Examples of FPSO records; largest, smallest etc. Summary

    History
    Offshore locations have been producing oil since the late 1940s Originally all oil platforms sat on the seabed in shallow water and exported via tanker or pipeline As exploration moved to deeper waters in the 1970s Condeeps and Floating production systems came into use

    What is an FPSO..?
    A converted tanker or purpose built vessel
    may be ship shaped, multi-hull production semi-submersible or a cylindrical shaped production spar / Mono Hull

    Hydrocarbon processing facilities are installed on board Processes well stream fluids into Oil, LPG or LNG Units without processing facilities are referred to as an FSO or Floating Storage & Offload Unit
    Xikomba offloading to shuttle

    Sevan Voyageur Mono-Hull spar type Girassol Multi-hull semi-sub

    What does an FPSO do..?


    Processes hydrocarbons received from local production wells i.e. from a platform or subsea template Well stream is processed & stored on the vessel, offloaded to a shuttle tanker or exported via a pipeline

    Why use an FPSO..?


    Fixed platforms enable production to an average max depth of 1,400 feet (425m) FPSOs allow production far deeper than fixed platforms
    FPSOs allow development of short-lived, marginal fields in remote locations where a fixed platform is impractical & uneconomical FPSOs can be relocated to new locations and reused

    FPSO Mooring Systems


    There are three main types;
    Spread Mooring
    FPSO is moored in a fixed position

    Single Point Mooring (SPM) Systems


    FPSO Weathervanes around a fixed point

    Dynamic Positioning (DP)

    Spread Mooring

    Does not require anchor wires/chains or piled/seabed anchors. This system is the most accurate for station keeping but the most expensive to operate

    Azimuth Thrusters for DP vessels Single Point Mooring

    FPSO Advantages
    They eliminate the need for costly long-distance pipelines to an onshore terminal Particularly effective in remote or deep water locations where seabed pipeline are not cost effective

    In bad weather situations (cyclones, icebergs etc.) FPSOs release mooring/risers and steam to safety. On field depletion FPSOs can be relocated to a new field

    Types of Processing Units


    Process/Product Types OIL oil, gas & water from the well stream are separated. Gas & water may be injected into well to increase reservoir pressure or gas may be exported LPG has onboard liquid petroleum gas processing and export facilities LNG takes well stream and separates out the natural gas (primarily methane and ethane) and produces LNG

    FPSO Milestones
    First Oil FPSO built in Spain in 1977 Shell Castellon First Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) FPSO build completed 2005 Sanha, operates on the Chevron/Texaco Sanha Field in Angola First Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) FPSO was conversion of LNG Carrier Golar by Keppel in Singapore in 2007

    Growth in Demand
    Global demand is expected to double this decade 127 of the planned 200 projects in next 8 years will use FPSOs Brazil is the fastest growing development area with 28 FPSOs in service and 41 currently in the tendering or planning phase Since Jan 2010 there have been 11 FPSO contracts awarded in Brazil Even in the mature region of the North Sea there remains an active FPSO market Harsh weather and proliferation of smaller, marginal fields lends itself to the use of FPSOs There are currently 22 FPSOs in operation with a further 28 planned projects, up from only 15 projects one year ago
