Abstract:For a range of offshore fields, a Dynamically Positioned (DP) Floating Production Storage & Offloading (FPSO) unit can be utilized as a first stage field development unit. The DP-FPSO design is based on a monohull floating production system with a single production riser system. The DP-FPSO can significantly reduce the time to first production, generate early sales revenues and provide valuable reservoir and production data. By utilizing a DP-FPSO during the initial development phase, subsurface risks can … Show more
