	Floating oil production system - Definition, explanation
		Originally, all oil platforms sat on the seabed, but as exploration moved to deeper waters and more distant locations in the 1970s, floating production systems came to be used.
		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, equivalent to FSO).
		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.

	Chapter 6 - Oil production
		Total proven oil reserves worldwide are estimated to be worth the equivalent of 40 years of consumable oil, based on a 1988 worldwide oil production rate of 64.2 million barrels per day.
		The entire system was mechanically agitated by an impeller in order to enhance the rates of heat and mass transfer, to disperse bubbles throughout the agitated liquid phase, and to keep solid particles suspended in the liquid medium.
		The liquid products, solid particles and unreacted materials were continuously drawn off to maintain a constant liquid level within the reactor, and a constant composition in the liquid phase.

		Oil production is expected to average 65,000 bpd during 2002.
		In 2000, the Zafiro Producer FPSO was converted to an FPU (Floating Production Unit) with crude oil being stored in the MT Magnolia FSO (Floating Storage and Offloading vessel), which has a storage capacity of 1.8 million bbls.
		Gas is separated from the oil on board the FPU and the oil is sent to the FSO where it is stored until it can be exported to tankers via a Single Point Mooring (SPM) system.

		Massive oil spills can be very damaging; however, it is the collective contribution of small amounts of petroleum products due to leakage, accidents, and runoff from roadways, rail yards, and parking lots that introduce a large amount of oil and petroleum products into the marine environment.
		Deepwater ports are non-vessel, fixed or floating manmade structures that are used as a port or terminal for the loading, unloading, or handling of oil for transportation to a state.
		Discharge of floating dunnage, lining and packing materials is prohibited in the navigable waters and in areas offshore less than 25 nautical miles from the nearest land.

		In part, issues surrounding the integration of topside oil production and marine systems have been blamed, although back-up for this belief is not always evident.
		Tanker owners, eager to meet the fast-growing demand for floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels, are struggling to accommodate the tougher commercial terms sought by field operators, who are increasingly eager to pass on hydrocarbon development risks.
		With the popularity of purpose built floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels, the industry needs a standardized classification process to group these vessels into handy categories that would help owners place them on other fields when their purpose-built job is complete.

	Global Marine Oil Pollution Information Gateway • Oil - exploration and extraction
		Small amounts of oil and natural gas seep through and are found near the Earth's surface, but almost all oil and gas is found in deep underground reservoirs on land and in the seabed (on the continental shelf).
		Offshore oil production accounts for about 30 per cent of the total world oil production, and offshore gas production for about half of the world production of natural gas.
		Locating an oil and gas "trap" (as it is known) and extracting the oil and gas is difficult enough on land.

		or fields where a floating development option is under consideration, only 5% of the shallow water market is involved whereas about 40% of deepwater developments could use a floater of one type or another.
		Of these floating options, about 60% are slated to revolve around FPSOs, while the others involve the use of semis, TLPs or Spars/deep draft caisson vessels.
		In the past, it could safely be said that FPSOs and large volume gas production did not mix well, and in fact one of the major constraints on developing the deepwater Angolan oil fields of Kuito and Girassol has been the issue of what to do with the gas.

	OilOnline - The Original Online Source for the Oil Industry
		Industry forecasts suggest that anywhere from five to 20 floating LNG (FLNG) terminals could be installed in US waters alone in the next ten years, with both the east and west coasts as well as the Gulf of Mexico among the target locations.
		Although floating LNG plants are by no means new to the offshore agenda, the feeling among many industry observers is that one may actually get built this time.
		'An industry "by-product" of this technology improvement,' adds Grove, 'is advancement toward development of offshore LNG terminals, which also will require partial-loading capability for floating terminal concepts.' LNG carriers building today, he says, have cargo containment systems ranging in size up to 145,000m3, with future designs expected to raise this figure to 200,000m3.

		After operating on a fiat system for 20+ years people are starting to realize that the only thing that backs a currency is the real productive efforts of their people.
		Oil prices began their long march upward, but most of these early advances were more so political statements, rather than related to the dollar problem.
		After 1976 they (oil producers) jumped into gold but soon found that their excess dollar flow could never even partially be shifted into gold as it was traded on this new commodity arena.
