Increasing prevalence of long-term contracts consisting of construction and operation of the FPSO vessels augmenting the growth of floating production storage & offloading market

FPSO or floating production storage and offloading vessel is a designed unit catering to the needs of the oil and gas industry in producing and storing enormous quantities of hydrocarbons from offshore basins. These uniquely qualified vessel units are used at different water depths for storage purpose further facilitating processing of crude oil that is produced from wells.

The global FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) market size is estimated to size-up to approximately USD 19.3 billion by 2028. In addition, it is anticipated to acquire a significant CAGR of 15.3% over the forecast period 2021 to 2028. FPSOs are typically manufactured using either an existing ship adding few nuances and modifications based on the contractor’s requirements or by designing a completely new vessel from scratch displaying advanced capabilities. The vessel displays a range of advanced equipment capable of performing treatment processes or separation of crude oil.

The market progress is traced down from the current dynamics to the future forecast observing the growth trends and industry traction. Major growth derivatives reflect upon the growth prospects and opportunities of the FPSO market. Factors such as strengthening imposition of long-term agreements within industry participants based on the enhancement of building and operating vessels including FEED focus primarily on capabilities associated with technology upgradation, commissioning, operations and maintenance is a major trend resulting in rapid adoption of FPSOs.
