A large number of oilfields are in the deep and ultra deep offshore waters and these oilfields are in urgent needs for FPSOs. Do not miss out on the next big investment opportunities in the oil and gas industry! Floating production systems are one of the most important development concepts to have evolved in the offshore oil and gas industry. The floating production systems, and especially floating production storage and offloading systems, FPSOs for short, will rapidly grow in importance and in future years may even displace the fixed platform to become the preferred method of exploiting offshore fields. Their use has opened up economic access to reserves both on the continental shelf and in deep water. Against this development, World FPSO Conversion & Upgrading Projects Conference 2014 provides a timely platform to bring new market information for industry players in search for more and more oil, with much of the exploration and development work being undertaken in deep and ultra deep offshore waters. For this reason the future for FPSOs looks strong as they are virtually the only method of producing, storing and offloading oil using a single unit from greater ocean depths. A large number of these oilfields are in urgent needs for FPSOs. The time is ripe for industry players to be ahead of the industry in FPSO conversion and upgrading market. WHO SHOULD ATTEND
