Abstract:  Floating production storage and offloading system (FPSO) has been widely used in different oil and gas field offshore owing to its excellent economics and good adaptability. There are 13 FPSOs in service in China. In this paper, the development history and engineering application of FPSO is firstly summarized. Then the composition of FPSO with different shape is described. Furthermore, the development modes and engineering schemes frequently used are fully listed. Lastly the development trend of FPSO is analyzed. This research may provide good references for the design and application of FPSO in China.
