In addressing of FPSO design and operation, this course will provide delegates through the various key steps, disciplines and decisions required to deliver an FPSO project and provide participants with competency in FPSO design and considerations. The course addresses commercial and technical aspects of FPSO design based on first principles and aims to provide a solid foundation in various aspects of an FPSO development. The course will provide context and a framework within which to formulate the right questions. Reference will be made to lessons learnt from past FPSO projects.
Participants are taken step by step through considerations about different aspects of FPSO projects including commercial issues, overall field layout, site specific Metocean data, hull design, marine systems, topside arrangement, station keeping mooring and riser considerations and offloading solutions. The course will also cover an overview of operational aspects of FPSO.

Dr. Mohammad Hajiarab received his BEng., MSc. degrees in Naval Architecture and PhD. in Hydrodynamics of Floating Structures from Newcastle University, UK. During his career he has held Lead Naval Architectural positions in Lloyds Register, BG, Premier Oil and Equinor (former Statoil). As the Floating Structures Team Leader for Lloyds Register in the UK, he was a contributing author to the “Lloyds Register Rules and Regulation for Floating Offshore Installations at a Fixed Location” and represented Lloyds Register in Joint Industry Projects (JIPs). During his professional career he has worked on several offshore oil and gas field developments, in UK, Norway, Brazil, Australia and Timor Sea. He has been lecturing about floating structures since obtaining his master’s degree in 2004 and has taught numerous courses at all levels including MSc students and developed training courses.
o Petroleum, Production, Drilling, Workover and Reservoir Engineers
o Corrosion Engineers
o HSE Engineers
The course is designed for Engineers with basic knowledge and experience in offshore oil and gas production facilities engineering. The objective is to establish a foundation for engineers to be able to have an educated understanding of FPSO production facilities and techno-commercial considerations in such projects
o Basic to Intermediate
The participants will learn:
o Overall filed layout arrangement based on an FPSO development
o Typical commercial challenges and considerations for an FPSO development
o Metocean considerations and response-based hull design
o FPSO topside arrangement and safety considerations
o FPSO systems including station keeping mooring and riser arrangement
o Regulatory regime considerations
o Offloading concepts
o FPSO operation considerations
