Global Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Market Report - Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Outlook - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2028

Global Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Market Report - Market Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Outlook - Industry Trends and Forecast to 2028

The continued capital spending by oil majors on exploration in deepwater, depleting onshore oil fields, and favourable government policies are some of the factors stimulating the demand for the FPSOs.

Furthermore, the increasing energy demand, and growing offshore discoveries, coupled with the ability of FPSOs to function without a fixed structure, capability of storage, and offloading oil, are augmenting the demand for FPSOs globally.

In newly formed offshore fields without pipeline infrastructure or in remote areas where constructing a pipeline would be prohibitively expensive, FPSOs are particularly helpful. A tanker doesn't have to wait while the production facility produces enough oil to fill it thanks to the utilization of FPSOs. The ability to relocate the floating production storage and offloading vessel to a new place when an oil field has run out is another benefit of FPSOs versus pipelines.

FPSOs are appropriate for a variety of water depths (deepwater, ultra deep water), and environmental conditions, and can be built to remain in a specific location for up to 20 years of continuous operation. FPSOs are currently the crude oil industry's favoured offshore production technology due to their increased flexibility and adaptability.

The rapid recovery of the oil and gas industry post-Covid-19 pandemic downturn and increasing investments in deep water exploration and production activities due to the energy security issues triggered by the Russian-Ukraine conflict are currently driving the demand for FPSOs globally.

However, the high capital requirement, long building periods, and the development of offshore pipeline infrastructure might restrain the FPSO market growth.

Regional Analysis

The growing Brazil FPSO market was a major driver of growth in 2021, with seven of the country's 10 contract awards coming from Brazilian projects. With the addition of three more FPSOs in 2022, the South American country is still the leader in global FPSO contract awards.

Guyana, a participant from the South America FPSO market, added one FPSO to the global total in 2022, while the UK added two projects. It is anticipated that Angola, Australia, China, and Malaysia would all award one new FPSO contract.

Impact of COVID-19

COVID-19 and the falling oil price were a double blow for the FPSO industry, which was suffering the aftershocks of a turbulent market. To keep costs down, FPSO production businesses concentrated primarily on transforming existing tankers into FPSOs.

Due to the COVID pandemic, the major under-construction projects to build floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels were delayed in China, South Korea, and Singapore owing to staffing and supply shortages.

Recent Key Developments

In Nigeria, BW Offshore was able to get a lease extension for the FPSO Sendje Berge, which is used by Addax Petroleum Exploration (Nigeria) Ltd., that will last until the fourth quarter of 2022.

In Dec 2022, Brazilian oil and gas giant Petroleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras) started the process of contracting for two floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) production units for the shared reservoirs of the Atapu and Sépia deepwater oil fields located in the Atlantic Ocean.

Petrobras, Brazil’s federal oil company, announced its new business plan, which includes an investment of USD 20 billion for new FPSO projects. The oil company plans to acquire 18 new FPSOs by 2027, 11 of which will be chartered, six will be owned, and one will not be operated. In the 2022–2026 plan, 15 FPSOs—nine chartered and six owned—were expected to begin operations.

In November 2022, Dutch FPSO company SBM Offshore partnered with Chinese financial institution China Merchants Financial Leasing (Hong Kong) Holding Company (CMFL) to pursue owning and operating projects for FPSO vessels.

ExxonMobil Guyana and Dutch FPSO operator SBM Offshore have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to build an FPSO for ExxonMobil Guyana's Stabroek Block field off the coast of Guyana. The new FPSO vessel will have a total oil production capacity of more than 1 million barrels per day.

In Oct 2022, Sembcorp Marine finished building a sizable new FPSO unit that will be used by Petrobas in Brazil in the Itaipu field. Up to 150,000 barrels of oil and 6 million cubic meters of natural gas per day (BPD) are anticipated to be produced for Petrobas, which will be in operation through the year 2050.
