Title: Topside facilities for floating production systems require new engineering thinking

Journal Article · · Offshore Technol. Conf.; (United States)
DOI:https://doi.org/10.4043/4543-MS· OSTI ID:5327744

Since the oil industry moved offshore, great emphasis has been placed on the need to reduce space and weight requirements of topside facilities. For successful design of floating production systems, weight consciousness assumes an even higher level of importance, necessitating systematic attention to detail even at the feasibility study stage of a project.
