Floating production systems
FPSO to be connected to high-pressure subsea separation technology pilot project.
Petrobras said the unit serving the pre-salt field is designed to reduce up to 24% of emissions.
Contactor will provide EPCI work related to the subsea portion of the 20K Gulf of Mexico development.

The market for floating production systems is growing rapidly, with spending from 2014-2018 expected to increase more than 100% from the prior 5-year period. Factors such as increased local content contribute to growing expenditures.
-
Roughly one-half of global gas reserves are considered stranded gas--uneconomical because of the remote location of potential markets, lack of economic transportation and infrastructure, or the lack of conversion technology. An FPSO with gas to liquids conversion is an option for stranded gas.
-
Good early production caused an FPSO to reach the design topside limit with only five wells connected. A study was undertaken to determine how bottlenecks could be reduced to allow greater production without compromising process safety.
