FPSO vessels, or Floating Production Storage and Offloading units, are specialized ships used in the offshore oil and gas industry. They are designed to process and store hydrocarbons extracted from underwater wells. FPSOs can operate in deep waters, making them essential for accessing resources that are difficult to reach with traditional platforms. These vessels are equipped with processing facilities to separate oil, gas, and water, allowing for efficient production. Once processed, the oil is stored in large tanks within the vessel until it can be transported to shore or transferred to tankers. FPSOs play a crucial role in enhancing energy production while minimizing environmental impact.
