	All-welded heat exchanger units for Brazil: News from Tranter PHE
		The UltraMax unit was supplied to condense steam from the boiler, used to heat water circulated in the internal heating medium circuit.
		Duties for the gasketed plate heat exchangers include heating the crude oil to a suitable temperature prior to entering the oil/water separator, cooling the crude oil before storage, cooling the water which is separated from the crude oil before discharge at sea, and cooling of the internal fresh water cooling medium circuit by seawater.
		The units were designed for use in the most demanding environmental conditions and provided with ABS certification and ASME Code design.

		Floating storage and offloading system, often a ship or barge-shaped floating hull incorporating tanks for storage of produced oil, and a method of loading the oil into offtake tankers.
		Floating production, storage and offloading vessel which includes, in addition to its storage and offloading capability, facilities for receiving crude oil from producing wells and processing it for export by separating water and gas.
		Floating systems are also a cost-effective solution for developing smaller, satellite or marginal fields in shallower water as they can be floated off when reservoirs are depleted, and re-used elsewhere.

	Floating Production Systems (FPSOs) - Production on Drillships - Other Topics
		Without the storage tanks, the vessel is basically outfitted with an empty hull, which means a lot of wasted space.
		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.

	Floating storage and offloading unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Floating Storage and Offloading unit (FSO) is, as its name suggests, a floating storage device, usually for oil.
		FSOs are commonly used in oil fields where it is not possible or efficient to lay a pipe-line to the shore.
		The production platform will transfer the oil to the FSO where it will be stored until a tanker arrives and connects to the FSO to offload it.

	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.

		The contract for chartering and operating the FPSO to be signed is worth approximately US$ 501 million and will run for an eight year term, renewable for a further four years.
		FSO will be used for carrying oil from the Roncador, Marlim Leste and Marlim Sul fields through P-51, P-52, P-53, P-55 platforms and the Roncador Module 4 UEP, and remain connected to the PRA-1 Pumping Platform.
		The FSO will have a storage capacity of more than 2,100,000 barrels and will be sited in a water depth of 95 meters.

		C & C's C-Surveyor I has logged over 11,000 km of deepwater surveys since January 2000, this project was unique; precise lines were traversed under and around the gigantic Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading Unit (FPSO), Girassol, whose hull is 300 meters long and has deadweight of 345,000 tons.
		Girassol is producing approximately 250,000 barrels of oil per day and has an oil storage capacity of two million barrels.
		Christmas trees, riser cables, manifolds, pipeline bundles, and a variety of other installations served as seafloor obstacles, which had to be avoided by the AUV during its mission.

	RIGZONE - Conoco Awards EPCI Contracts for the Belanak Development
		With expected ultimate production of approximately 600 billion cubic feet of natural gas, and 100 million barrels of oil, condensate and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), Belanak is the cornerstone for supplying future natural gas under both agreements, and for the development of extensive reserves of liquids in the South Natuna Sea Block B PSC.
		The Belanak structure will be developed utilizing an FPSO with LPG extraction facilities; two wellhead platforms; 38 wells; a floating storage and offloading (FSO) unit for LPG; a gas export pipeline; and intra-field pipelines.
		In addition, an estimated 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas and 150 million barrels of oil, condensate and LPG from at least six other nearby fields will be produced through the Belanak facilities, which will serve as a central gathering hub.

		The solution found for the recovery of this oil is floating production, storage and offloading units (FPSO).
		On these floating refineries, where the first phase of the refining is done, the oil from the reservoirs is pumped up, separated from the accompanying water, gas and sand, and then stored.
		When the storage facilities of the FPSO are full, the crude oil is transferred to a shuttle tanker, which conveys it to land.

		The equipment layout is similar to a typical FPSO, however, the concept for this new purpose-built FPSO allows for processing facilities onboard which incorporate both the gas feed pre-treatment (removal of CO2, Mercury etc., dehydration of the gas and LPG extraction) and LNG liquefaction.
		Described by ABB as primarily a floating liquefaction facility for LNG production, storage and export, its process facilities are compact enough to fit onto the deck of a 312-metre long Niche LNG FPSO, yet is capable of delivering 1.5 million tonnes per year combined output from its three LNG production trains.
		The design storage capacity is in the 200,000m3 range, with six tanks total---four for LNG storage and two for LPG storage.
