NTL 2000-N02 - Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Systems Workshop - May 9, 2000

The Minerals Management Service will hold a 2-day workshop to assess worldwide operational experiences for FPSOs on June 7 & 8, 2000, in Houston, Texas. The objectives of the workshop are to (1) promote an open and comprehensive discussion of experiences and concerns based on FPSO operations worldwide, (2) identify operational and regulatory issues and successful practices that have resulted from this experience, and (3) identify mitigation measures or technology needs to address these concerns. The MMS has contracted the Offshore Technology Research Center (OTRC) at Texas A&M University to organize the workshop on our behalf. The event will be cosponsored by the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and the industry organization, DeepStar.
