International FPSO Operations Efficiency Analysis

Improve your FPSO operational efficiency and lower costs by benchmarking your assets against the world’s top performers.

Solomon’s International FPSO Operations Efficiency Analysis (FPSO Study) evaluates operating costs and uptime reliability for FPSO (floating, producing, storing, and offloading) vessels, assessing a diverse mix of operators located in various regions worldwide.

The reliability metrics used in the study, first developed as part of Solomon’s Worldwide Offshore Production Operations Performance Analysis (Offshore Study), is continuously enhanced with input from our clients. Metrics include the value of lost oil production, Mean Time Between Incidents (MTBI), and Mean Time To Recover (MTTR). Uptime is a prime driver of upstream “value-add,” as the value of production lost to downtime far exceeds that of operating expenses (OpEx). The FPSO Study focuses on OpEx, production uptime reliability, and operating efficiency.

Study participants receive best-in-class production uptime targets that help to justify and confirm the value of future investment decisions aimed at improving reliability. Participants also receive confidential, blinded, asset-level comparisons identifying potential savings in each cost category, as well as detailed cost-driver analysis. For every study participant, Solomon identifies the best areas for pursuing efficiency savings, enhanced reliability, and increased production.
