At a ceremony of ZPMC Qidong Marine Engineering, they announced the launch of the giant “N1151 (P-82)”, the “world’s largest FPSO”. This launch highlights the maritime engineering capability, such as the importance of FPSOs in offshore oil exploitation in China.
ZPMC’s World’s Largest FPSO
These units are designed for operation in deepwater, shallow water and marginal offshore fields due to their ability to integrate multiple functions on a single platform. This includes oil and gas processing, storage, offloading, as well as housing and power supply facilities.
The “N1151 (P-82)” is distinguished by its robustness, with exceptional resistance to adverse weather conditions such as strong winds and large waves. In addition, its design allows it to adapt to a wide range of water depths. This project demonstrates the versatility and adaptability of FPSOs, which are now the which are now the preferred method for the development of offshore oil projects due to their ability to be efficiently relocated and reused.
With an impressive storage capacity of up to 2 million barrels of crude oil, the “N1151 (P-82)” is a testament to China’s leadership in shipbuilding for the energy industry, as a breakthrough in safety and operational efficiency. This marine giant is designed to minimize environmental impact while maximizing resource extraction, ensuring safe and effective operation in sensitive marine ecosystems.
