The market demand for
floating production systems is set to grow exponentially as Oil and Gas demand
continues to grow and the easy oil and gas reserve are exploited. As new and
development countries want energy independence and want to develop their
offshore reserves while maintaining a minimal environmental impact.
Also, in the
development of smaller oil or gas fields particularly in shallow waters where
fixed WHP are considered too expensive and re-useable, FPSO jack-ups, MOPU’s
and FSO’s are more sensible..
Or in deep-water
offshore fields where there are no other alternative to develop their reserves.
However, with these developments going to deeper depths and greater complexity
there is a need to develop a more efficient
and better FPSO designs with improve safety and improved cost.
This course is aimed
at Oil and Gas personnel wanting an understanding of the Floating Production
Storage and Offloading Technology and Developments: The Course explains
the terms used and the basic engineering needed for the Market demand, Also the
Design, Construction, Testing, Commissioning and Operation expectations of FPSO
systems.
The course is in two
parts; Design and Construction
