Visiongain expects 2011 to be a promising year for the FPSO
market, with spending worldwide expected to reach $6.8bn. The
industry will expand considerably over the forecast period, with
high growth rates in capital expenditure. Visiongain’s report
reveals the exact forecast details taking into account a myriad of
aspects which will affect the FPSO sector.

Visiongain’s latest report, The Floating Production
Storage Offloading (FPSO) Market 2011-2021, analyses
this industry essential to the future of the energy sector. The
report reviews in detail the prospects of the FPSO market, which
will see continuous global expansion over the next ten years. The
report draws attention to exciting trends and developments within
the industry, which will shape the FPSO market over the coming
years. It highlights the 16 major national markets and delivers
insightful recommendations, based on geological, economic and
political factors.

As easily accessible oil reserves decline, major oil companies
are increasingly looking to offshore fields to replace depleted
reserves. In many cases the remote locations of oil deposits lack
adequate infrastructure to facilitate production. Thus, the FPSO
industry, with its excellent safety record, is well place to
benefit.

Changes in the oil price have a powerful influence over the
outlook of the FPSO industry. Limited supplies of oil, unrest in
the MENA region and demand from developing nations will add to the
inflationary pressures on the price of oil. This report expounds
the affects of price fluctuations, considering speculation, GDP
growth, energy demand, hydrocarbon reserves and currency
values.

The study’s assessment of the FPSO industry indicates the market
has undergone significant changes in the last 3 years. The
financial recession altered the proportions of FPSO vessels which
are owned or leased. Furthermore the recession moved the industry’s
emphasis away from newly built vessels towards converted FPSO
vessels. In addition, the advent of FDPSO ships and LNG FPSO
vessels has opened up a plethora of new opportunities for investors
and FPSO manufacturers alike.

The most significant threat to the FPSO market, apart from a low
oil price, is the popular pressure on firms and governments to
pursue renewable resources. The study shows why the FPSO industry
will thrive regardless of this challenge.
