Production availability analysis of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) systems
Applied Ocean Research, 2018Abstract Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) systems are currently the popular scheme in offshore oil and gas industry. The profitability of these systems is extremely dependent on their production availabilities. In this article, we report the lessons learned from the assessment of the production availability of a FPSO system ...

Painting Practices for Floating Production, Storage and Offloading Systems
SSPC 2011, 2011Abstract Floating production storage offloading (FPSO) system hulls physically resemble ocean going transport vessels but operate more like fixed offshore structures. FPSOs normally are moored in deep water and are connected to unique riser systems.

Floating Production Storage and Offloading: Disconnectable or Not?
SPE Asia-Pacific Conference, 1991Abstract Single Point Mooring Systems are commonly used to moor Floating Production tankers or barges at exposed offshore locations. The first mooring systems were designed for permanent applications. In the last five years, disconnectable systems have been developed mainly for South East Asia. These disconnectable systems

Evolutionary Developments Advancing the Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading Concept
Offshore Technology Conference, 1982Abstract Tanker-based floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) systems have been in operation since August, 1977, when a single-well FPSO was put into production by Shell Espana in the Mediterranean. The overall operational experience with this system at this field will be reviewed.

The Floating Liquefied Natural Gas Production, Storage and Offloading Technology Research
Offshore Technology Conference-Asia, 2014The current status of the FLNG research project is introduced in this paper. Primary focus is placed on the six key technical areas which have been addressed in the phase I of this project, i.e. liquefaction process, LNG tank sloshing, single point mooring system, LNG tank selection and arrangement, LNG offloading and FLNG risk assessment. Firstly, the

Structural design of process decks for floating production, storage and offloading units
Marine Structures, 1998This work analyzes the influence of ship motion and deformation on the structural design of decks to support production plants in floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSOs). These decks are space frames with lengths ranging from 30 to 100 mr, with a variable number of rigid supports linked to the ship hull.
