FPSOs or Floating Production Storage and Offloading are used to extract and store hydrocarbons from deep-sea reserves for further distribution.

They are positioned close to an offshore oil field and can be moved to another place.

TotalEnergies Egina is the world’s biggest FPSO, situated in the Egina oil field, 130 km off the Nigerian Coast, at a depth of over 1500 m.

Turritella FPSO is positioned in the Stones field, an offshore oil and gas project in the U.S Gulf of Mexico.

BP’s Glen Lyon FPSO can store 800,000 barrels of oil and process and export 130,000 barrels of oil every day.

Lyon is also the largest harsh-water FPSO vessel in the world, specially built for BP’s redeveloped Quad 204 Project.

Aker BP’s Skarv is another massive floating facility with one of the largest offshore gas processing plants.
