Global FPS Market - Growth, Trends, and Forecast (2022 - 2030)

The global floating production storage (FPS) market is in a growth phase, on account of the increased focus on the development of offshore oil & gas production. Due to the immense potential of extraction of hydrocarbons from the sea bed, the offshore production of hydrocarbon has been receiving significant thrust. FPSs find various applications, especially in fields that are too far offshore, to build an economical pipeline infrastructure.

Increasing Energy Demand - A Growth Driver

The increasing energy demand is expected to drive the floating production system market during the coming decade, as the region’s new exploration activity is at an all-time high and the operators are often forced to work in much deeper waters, which require sophisticated technology and equipment. A floating production system typically consists of buoys, turret moorings, and offshore loading towers. The usage of FPS is flexible and can be transferred from location to the other, without much hassle. FPS units are designed to accumulate the hydrocarbons that are produced by the production unit of FPS. The hydrocarbons are stored in the storage unit of the system, until they are offloaded into a tanker or transferred through a pipeline. In case of FPSs, the requirement of long-distance pipeline from the processing facility is offset, which is a big boost for its adoption.

North America is Expected to Witness Significant Growth

Owing to the considerable investments planned in upstream activities pertaining to deep-water and ultra-deep water reserves of hydrocarbons, the North American region is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period,. The improvement in oil prices has led to improved sentiments in the upstream sector in recent months, and companies operating in exploration and production are willing to invest.

Brazil to Dominate the Market’s Growth

Brazil is anticipated to dominate the market’s growth, on account of the widespread development of offshore exploration fields. The country is likely to witness the development of fields in the sub-salt and post-salt areas, in the deep and ultra-deep offshore areas. The National Oil Company of Brazil, Petroleo Brasileiro (Petrobras), has outlined aggressive plans for the development of the country's sub-salt hydrocarbon resources in the Santos and Campos basins, mainly through FPSs. The development of similar huge projects is expected to boost the FPS market during the forecast period.
