Floating production systems
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.
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 repeat order from Petrobras brings Keppel O&M’s net order book to about $8.2 billion. -
GATE Energy is the most recent contract awardee for LLOG Exploration's Salamanca project in the Gulf of Mexico.
-
LLOG Exploration looks to engineering partner to assist with its ambitious platform re-use project in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Eni-BP Azule JV creates Angola’s largest independent oil and gas company and will operate the New Gas Consortium project, the country’s first non-associated gas project and a boost to West African LNG.
-
Eni has proposed that its partners in the Rovuma LNG project construct a second floating liquefied natural gas processing facility to circumvent political risks that have disrupted ExxonMobil from building an onshore megaplant.
-
A new report shows that the offshore oil and gas sector is cautiously getting back to work, with some projects delayed and while EPC awards for sanctioned projects remain robust.
-
Energy trader Vitol also made an unspecified strategic investment in Delfin Midstream.
-
The contractor will finalize the chosen FPSO solution for the development in the Campos Basin pre-salt off Brazil.
-
Something often talked about but rarely occurs is the reuse of an existing, but idled, production platform on a new field. LLOG wants to change that with ambitions to rejuvenate the former Independence Hub floating production system for use on its Leon/Castile project in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.
