Introduction to Floating Production, Storage & Offloading Vessels (FPSO) – Design & Technology

Participants should be able to understand the basics of FPSO and offshore Oil & Gas processing systems, equipment working principles as well as field requirements. Various case studies, videos and multimedia will be used to illustrate key operating principles and lessons learnt from past successful projects (with examples taken from around the world).
