	Floating oil production system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Common abbreviations for major types of floating production systems are FPSO (floating production, storage, and offloading system), FSO (floating storage and offloading system), and FSU (floating storage unit).
		Floating production systems are large ships (about one half of existing systems are converted oil tankers) equipped with processing facilities and moored to a location for a long period.
		The oil is stored in the hull of the FPSO and periodically offloaded to shuttle tankers.

	Floating Production Storage and Offloading - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Oil is accumulated in the FPSO until there is sufficient amount to fill a transport tanker at which point the transport tanker connects to the stern of the floating storage unit and offloads the oil.
		A FPSO have the capability to carry out some form of oil separation process obviating the need for such facilities to be located on an oil platform.
		The world's largest FPSO is the Kizomba A, it has a storage capacity of 2.2 million barrels.

	Floating Production Systems (FPSOs) - Production on Drillships - Other Topics
		The first true monohull FPSO in the North Sea was the Petrojarl 1, delivered in 1986, and was intended to be a production test vessel with a small crude oil storage capability.
		In certain FPSO projects, the review found, there is potential to combine the cargo tank blanketing system with the topsides production plant in order to recover VOCs, and also to integrate this with a flare recovery system (provided that there is a disposal route for gas, via export or reinjection).
		By pumping from the FPSO to the tree and drilling vessel or from the drilling vessel to the FPSO, all equipment is purged of hydrocarbons and allowed to flood to hydrostatic pressure.

	CB&I : Floating Production Storage and Offloading
		Floating production storage and offloading systems (FPSO) are gaining importance as energy companies develop fields in deeper water and more remote locations.
		FPSO projects present special design challenges because the vessel, topsides and associated systems must often withstand powerful currents and harsh weather conditions.
		CBandI is a leading supplier of FPSO units to the offshore oil and gas industry.

	OSD - SN3/2005 - Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) - Mooring Inspection
		It explains why they need to ensure that the top sections of their mooring chains are not subject to excessive wear that can affect the integrity of the mooring system.
		Essentially, the mooring chain is directed through a carefully designed trumpet that has the ability to rotate about a horizontal axis and thus accommodate the vertical motions of the FPSO without transferring significant bending or twist into the mooring chain.
		Operators of FPSO and FSU installation need to be aware of such occurrences, and to ensure that they have suitable inspection routines in place.

	Proposed Use of Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading Systems on the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The FPSO’s receive crude oil from deepwater wells and store it in their hull tanks until the crude can be pumped into shuttle tankers or oceangoing barges for transport to shore.
		This Final EIS finds that potential site-specific impacts are essentially the same as with other deepwater development and production systems; that most of the risk of oil spills is associated with the shuttle tankers, not the FPSO itself, and that risk is comparable to the risks from other deepwater systems and from pipelines.
		The crude is offloaded to shuttle tankers for transport to Louisiana and Texas ports or to the Louisiana Offshore Oil Port (LOOP).

		The FPSO entered in operation in 2001 and is expected to be in service for about 20 years.
		Effective FPSO integrity management requires that the operator is able to assess and understand the risk of failure of the various systems onboard.
