Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO)

A Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) is a large floating vessel used in offshore oil and gas extraction. It is equipped to process extracted hydrocarbons, separating oil, gas, and water onboard. Once processed, the oil is stored in the vessel's tank until it can be transferred to tanker ships for transportation. FPSOs are designed to operate in remote marine environments, providing a flexible and efficient solution for extracting and temporarily storing oil from underwater reservoirs. They can be moved to different locations as needed, making them a vital part of offshore hydrocarbon production.
