The demand for systems used by floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels is increasing as efforts proceed to develop offshore fields around the world. The major oil companies are utilizing FPSO vessels to develop ever larger fields and ensure a long service life. These companies recognize the value and the importance of key performance indicators (KPIs) for critical process and maintenance data.
In recent FPSO projects, the following have proven to be critically important and in high demand:
| - |
Integrated control and monitoring of subsea, marine, and topside operations |
| - |
Consolidated alarm management |
| - |
Historized database on both offshore and onshore operations |
| - |
Real-time monitoring from onshore |
| - |
Sophisticated KPI factor displays for quick decision making |
| - |
Asset maintenance management |
| - |
Digital security |
| - |
Passing on to others the knowledge and skills of experienced operators |
| - |
Efficient operator training |
In addition to providing reliable hardware that has been certified by the relevant marine classification societies, Yokogawa has integrated solutions that carry out the above functions while providing high quality and high value added data that minimizes OPEX and optimizes production.
These high value solutions are applicable to various vessel types used in offshore projects, including Floating Liquid Natural Gas (FLNG), Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU), and Compressed Natural Gas Carrier (CNGC).
