Global Floating Production Storage & Offloading Market - 2022-2029

Global Floating Production Storage & Offloading Market - 2022-2029

Market Overview

The global floating production storage & offloading market size was worth US$ XX million in 2021 and is estimated to reach US$ XX million by 2029, growing at a CAGR of XX % during the forecast period (2022-2029).

Offshore oil and gas fields use floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels to collect hydrocarbons from subsea oil reservoirs and transform them into oil, gas and water. The ships hold processed crude oil or natural gas until offloaded onto a shuttle tanker or transferred to refineries via an export pipeline. Pumps, generators, storage tanks, control rooms and lodging facilities are available to assist in extracting and refining oil and gas in remote places at affordable costs. FPSO boats are more flexible, versatile, safe and time-efficient to offer a large storage capacity than conventional offshore oil & gas facilities.

When a current oilfield is depleted, FPSO vessels can be transferred to a new place without the need for costly underwater oil pipelines. As a result, it is gaining traction in frontier areas where local pipeline infrastructure is lacking and smaller oil and gas fields have become dry for years. They are also appropriate for adverse weather situations since they have detachable turret systems that can be withdrawn during an emergency and reattached to continue operations.

Market Dynamics

The market is expected to develop due to rising demand for offshore exploration and production activities and the exploitation of marginal oil reserves. However, hefty installation costs may stifle expansion during the forecast period.

The rising focus on offshore exploration and production activities

Because of the increased focus on offshore exploration and production activities and increased exploration in deep and ultra-deepwater, the FPSO market is predicted to grow rapidly. As per the International Energy Agency (IEA), annual capital investment in offshore oil and gas production is expected to increase dramatically, boosting industry growth. Furthermore, FPSOs are supported by the exhaustion of onshore oil sources.

The growing demand for integrated compact integrated systems in deep and ultra-deepwater offshore reserves to combat harsh circumstances will boost FPSO market growth in six years. Due to cost-effective and efficient production processes with high yield potential.

The rise in exploitation activities of marginal oil reserves

Increased exploitation of marginal oil deposits in remote offshore areas, along with the ability of FPSOs to work without the help of a fixed structure, are expected to have a favorable impact on market development. For example, an oil field was discovered in Australia's North Western Shelf in 2018. Furthermore, the market is predicted to develop due to the capacity of such units to survive adverse weather conditions.

Other reasons that have aided the growth of the floating production storage and offloading business include marginal fields and difficult conditions. Over the next few years, new E&P activities in offshore shale fields are likely to boost FPSO requirements.

High installation costs

Operational costs were calculated using general operating expenses for facilities and extrapolated for unknown facilities using benchmarks based on facility type, size, production and age. While conceptually simple, an oilfield's risers and flowlines are some of the most crucial components, requiring a high level of technical sophistication and, as a result, a significant capital cost.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Amid the COVID-19 epidemic, transportation constraints and strict government restrictions restricting vehicle movement produce a decline in the FPSO business. Oil businesses are dealing with production halts and falling oil prices. For the first time in the oil business history, oil prices in U.S. fell below zero.

For example, in May 2020, dealers were bribing customers to buy oil in U.S., causing the oil market to become unbalanced and consequently hurting market growth. Many oil and gas projects are projected to be delayed due to lockdown and social distancing standards, from complicated deep-sea projects that rely on global personnel and material to processing facility expansion and pipe-laying.

Segment Analysis

By type, the floating production storage & offloading market is segmented into refurbished and new-build.

The refurbished segment holds the lion's share.

The refurbished category is expected to take the largest proportion of the market. Refurbished FPSOs are floating production, storage and offloading vessels created by altering an existing transportation vessel, often a crude oil shuttle tanker. Converting a tanker to an FPSO takes a few months. A new-build FPSO, on the other hand, takes several years to construct. As a result, the market for refurbished floating production storage and offloading is expected to develop significantly.

Geographical Analysis

Rising investments in North America

The offshore oil and natural gas business are critical to U.S. energy supply, economic growth and employment creation. The oil & natural gas industry supports jobs in various manufacturing & service businesses, including oil & natural gas machinery, air & sea transportation and legal & insurance services.

Increasing investments to support energy infrastructure growth and increased demand for offshore oil and gas production in countries like Mexico will propel the floating production storage and offloading market forward.
