ABS Tapped for West Africa Field Developments
Floating production is the system of choice for all deepwater developments off West Africa to date. The combination of no pipelines, huge reservoirs and benign climate conditions equals the use of floating production, storage and offloading or FPSO vessels. ABS has been tapped by Single Buoy Mooring (SBM), the contractor of ExxonMobil, to provide classification and certification services, including condition assessment of tankers, technical design review, surveys during refurbishment, conversion and hook-up and commissioning for three FPSOs for installation offshore West Africa. These FPSOs will be operated by Esso Deepwater Ltd., a subsidiary of ExxonMobil.
