Floating Production – A Growing Segment in Transition

FPSOs, close to 20% FLNGs and floating production units without storage (semi-subs, TLPs and spars) over 10%.Source: IntelatusWe forecast that more than two thirds of new floating production units installed between 2024 and 2030 will be located in South and Central American countries, of which Brazil and Guyana will account for around 90% of the share of units. FPSO technology dominates the region’s FPS demand.In all, 18 countries in West and East Africa are expected to receive new FPSOs, FLNGs and FPUs between 2024 and 2030.

additional high-quality data essential for the exploration efforts in the basin, the companies said.According to a statement by TGS, existing 2D data and adjacent 3D data indicate the presence of reservoir depositional fairways in this location which overlies a source interval contemporaneous with the Guyana Basin petroleum system. Basin model studies predict a mature Early Cretaceous petroleum system with extensive regional reservoir distribution. The nearby Zaedyus discovery in French Guiana and the Narina and Venus wildcat discoveries on the conjugate margins of Liberia and Sierra Leone support
