A Floating Production Unit (FPU) is a type of offshore facility used for the extraction and processing of oil and gas from beneath the seabed. These units are designed to float on the water's surface and can be anchored to the seabed, allowing them to operate in deep water where traditional platforms are not feasible. FPUs are equipped with processing equipment to separate oil, gas, and water, making them essential for offshore energy production. FPUs come in various designs, including Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units, which can store processed oil and transfer it to tankers. They are crucial for maximizing resource recovery while minimizing environmental impact, as they can be relocated to different sites as needed. The use of FPUs has become increasingly important in the global energy industry, particularly in regions like the Gulf of Mexico and North Sea.
