PF&C Summer Lecture Series - Session II : "Introduction to FPSOs"

Session II of the Summer Series on “Floating Production Systems” presents an overview of the development of FPSOs as floating production system option and global distribution of FPSOs.  The discussion will cover the drivers for selecting a FPSO, key components of the system, storage volume considerations, cargo offloading and metering, hull shapes, turret overview, mechanical handling and topsides layout considerations. New build versus conversion of an existing hull will be discussed.  FLNG will be briefly discussed as well.

These sessions are perfect opportunities for either an introduction to Floating Production Systems for the engineer just starting in the industry, a refresher for the more seasoned individual, or just a great networking opportunity for those involved in this arena.  Each session is scheduled as a one (1) hour presentation followed by a thirty (30) minute Q&A period.
