FPSO is a comprehensive large-scale offshore oil production base which integrates personnel residence and production command system, and is used for oil and gas separation, treatment of oily water, power generation, heat supply, storage and transportation of oil products. FPSO is usually combined with a drilling platform or a subsea production system to form a complete oil production, oil treatment, storage and unloading system. The operating principle of FPSO is as follows: receiving the produced oil from the subsea well through the subsea pipeline, treating the oil on the ship, then storing the oil in the cargo oil tank, and finally transporting the oil to the shuttle tanker through the unloading system.
