Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) systems

A Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) system is a large, ship-like structure used in offshore oil and gas extraction. It is designed to process hydrocarbons extracted from beneath the ocean floor, converting raw crude into stabilized products. The FPSO can store the processed oil internally and transfer it to tankers for transportation, eliminating the need for pipelines to shore. It also has facilities to handle production equipment and safety systems. FPSOs are especially valuable in deep or remote waters where fixed platforms are impractical, providing a flexible, efficient way to develop offshore energy resources.
