FPS are offshore production facilities that are used for the production of hydrocarbons. The process involved separates oil, water, gas, sand, and so on, and distributes the yields to storage, disposal, or transportation facilities. FPS are an essential component required for offshore oil and gas developments. FPS are used for drilling and exploration activities in offshore oil and gas production at various water depths. Main types of FPS include FPSO, production semisubmersibles, TLP, SPARS, and others. Globally, the most common types of FPS units are FPSOs. FPSOs are ship-shaped vessels, which have a processing equipment and hydrocarbon storage capabilities. After processing, an FPSO stores oil or gas before unloading to shuttle tankers or transporting hydrocarbons through pipelines.
