Floating Production Solutions & Operations

At SBM Offshore, we provide floating production solutions to the offshore energy industry. Our main activities are the design, supply, installation, operation, and life extension of Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels through our IMR (Inspection Maintenance and Repair) services. Our flexible contracting models allow for our clients to lease our FPSOs or purchase them through turnkey sales with operations and maintenance options.

Our Activities

Out of the three main FPSO segments (new-build, large conversions, and small conversions), SBM Offshore focuses on the following two:

  • New-build FPSOs, with oil production volumes of up to 250,000 barrels per day. This is typically the focus of our Fast4Ward® FPSO.
  • Large conversion FPSOs, with oil production capacities of up to 150,000 barrels per day, representing our traditional FPSO market. Oil tankers, also known as Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), are converted to FPSOs.

Our fleet, comprising 16 units, operates globally, spanning regions and countries such as Guyana, Brazil, and West Africa. This fleet includes 15 FPSOs and one semi-submersible unit.
