A floating storage and offloading unit (FSO) is essentially an FPSO without the capability for oil or gas processing. [1] Most FSOs are converted single hull supertankers. An example is Knock Nevis, ex Seawise Giant, which for many years was the world's largest ship. It was converted into an FSO for offshore use before being scrapped. [2]
WAG – water alternating gas (describes an injection well which alternates between water and gas injection [citation needed]) WALKS – walkaway seismic profile; WAS – well access system; WATAN – water analysis; WAV3 – amplitude (in seismics) WAV4 – two-way travel time (in seismics) WAV5 – compensate amplitudes; WAVF – waveform log
Crude oil stored in the storage tanks of the FPSO is offloaded onto shuttle tankers to go to market or for further refining onshore. FPSO and FSO (Floating Storage and Offloading) systems today have become the primary method for many offshore oil and gas producing regions around the world FS: far side
FPSO and FSOs are often created out of old, stripped-down oil tankers, but can be made from new-built hulls; [114] Shell España first used a tanker as an FPSO in August 1977. [115] An example of an FSO that used to be an oil tanker is the Knock Nevis. [28] These units are usually moored to the seabed through a spread mooring system. [114]

La Noumbi is a floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit operated by Perenco.The vessel, converted from the former Finnish Aframax crude oil tanker Tempera by Keppel Corporation, will replace an older FPSO unit in the Yombo field off the Republic of Congo in 2018.
