Floating production systems
This paper explores the application of a modular, high-temperature gas-cooled nuclear reactor to a Very Large Crude Carrier-class floating production, storage, and offloading vessel.
After launching pre-salt production in Brazil, the ultradeepwater Tupi asset has become one of Petrobras’s most productive.
The $5.1 billion ultradeepwater project is Angola’s first integrated cross-block development and sits at the top of Azule’s Southern African portfolio.

The development of compact topside processing plants for floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels is a growing industry trend that can reduce operating and capital expenditures over the life of the vessel, a researcher and scientist said recently. -
Conversion of very large crude carriers to FPSO's can speed time to first oil under the right conditions, there are many considerations in the planning and execution of these conversions.
-
Offshore engineering companies are taking existing technologies and lessons learned from floating rigs to create a new platform design that will allow drilling in deeper waters.
-
The new Olympus tension leg platform (TLP) is the largest in the US Gulf of Mexico, with more than twice the displacement of the neighboring Mars TLP. It marks a leap forward in safety, improved operation time, and increased production capacity.
-
Expenditures for floating production systems are expected to more than double in the next five years. This growth is driven by multiple factors.
-
Investments in floating production systems are expected to increase sharply over the next five years, driven by a surge in installations.
