Across the world, oil and gas production faces problems such as fields in ever-deeper water depths and very small reserves which are uneconomic to exploit by conventional fixed platform approaches. Field size and location, water depth, ocean currents and harsh weather may all influence the decision of which type of production installation to use. A fixed installation may not be technically feasible in particularly challenging locations where a floating unit would offer the best solution.

The offshore oil and gas industry has been using floating production, storage and offloading system, or FPSOs, since the mid 1970s. These facilities can offer significant advantages over fixed production platforms particularly in remote deepwater locations or where export pipelines are difficult to install or uneconomic to run. They can also be floated off at the end of a field’s productive life and re-used elsewhere, which has economic benefits, particularly for marginal fields where the production facilities may only be required for a few years.

This distance learning course examines the key components of FPSO technology and deployment, including FPSO design, systems development, subsea engineering, operations and economics for the development and management of FPSOs.

Offering the flexibility of studying in your own time and location, this programme will benefit a broad range of people. If you are starting in a new role, this course will provide a comprehensive introduction to FPSO design and function. For those who work in a different part of the oil and gas industry it will provide a deeper understanding of the part played by FPSOs. Professionals in associated industries such as consultants, lawyers, bankers and accountants will gain an insight into the complexities of this increasingly crucial method of oil and gas production.

Whatever your motivation, the unique blend of downloadable and multimedia learning materials, expert tutorial support and peer interaction via a dedicated online forum will ensure a thorough, accurate and up-to-date knowledge of FPSO technology fundamentals, wherever you are in the world.
