Abstract

Floating Production Storage and Off-loading facilities (called FPSO in this paper) have become in a recent past a key-player in the recovery of Oil & Gas from deep sea wells. This paper intends to describe the engineering design drivers specifically applying for the installation of electrical equipment and materials on FPSO´s. Most of the rules, which will be developed below, could be extended to installations on an off-shore platform.
