Floating production systems
Argentina’s President Javier Milei met with TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanné and Eni CEO Claudio Descalzi in Paris to discuss Argentina’s energy sector, including projects linked to the Vaca Muerta shale formation and the development of the Argentina LNG export project.
With confidence in subsea boosting performance growing, BP is incorporating pumping systems into both greenfield developments and brownfield expansions.
Shell has demonstrated drone-in-a-box operations from its Mars floating production unit, becoming the first operator in the region to secure FAA approval for self-approved offshore beyond-visual-line-of-sight flights. JPT Senior Technology Editor Jennifer Pallanich visited Shell Technology Center Houston to see the system in action.

Deepwater field developments are regarded as standard technology in several areas of the world, but in harsher environments, extreme design loads and increased fatigue loading become more challenging. -
This paper compares the main features of the Schiehallion and Quad 204 TMSs, reporting the performance of key components over 15 years of operation.
-
The large number of floating production, storage, and offloading units (FPSOs) commissioned more than a decade ago now require offshore-asset-integrity management and maintenance.
-
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.
