About this Training Course

Of the Floating Production Hosts used worldwide, the most widespread is the FPSO (Floating Production, Storage & Offloading Vessels). They are used in shallow and deepwater fields, in small to very large fields as well as in calm and harsh weather areas. This course has been designed to help participants to acquire the fundamental knowledge of FPSO Vessels (both New Builds, Tanker Conversions and Re-Deployment FPSOs) and to see why they are so widely used by the offshore industry. The topics that will be covered will range from the FPSOs connection to the reservoir to the export requirements. In addition, the details of the FPSO vessel equipment and functions will be described.

Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to understand the basics of FPSO and offshore Oil & Gas processing systems, equipment working principles as well as field requirements. Various case studies, videos and multimedia will be used to illustrate key operating principles and lessons learnt from past successful projects (with examples taken from around the world). The course material will be provided as a soft copy.
