This paper reports on installation of floating production systems (FPSs) which is accelerating in the Eastern Hemisphere. As with the Western Hemisphere, the bulk of Eastern Hemisphere FPS action has occurred in just two theaters of operations: Offshore Northwest Europe and Offshore Northwest Australia. FPS field developments are slowly gathering momentum in the U.K. North Sea, but a number of factors are holding up progress off Norway. In the U.K. sector, two FPS developments have recently been confirmed. Also, the completion of production from the U.K.'s first oil field has put a converted semisubmersible FPS onto the market.
