Ocean Producer


Flexibility can make all the difference in getting a marginal field development project off the ground, flexibility that comes from:

  • Accelerated schedules
  • Effective risk control
  • Lower front-end costs

Flexibility of this sort is provided by leasing a Mobil Offshore Production System (MOPS) from a qualified production contractor committed to delivering value-a contractor like Oceaneering Production Systems.

The FPSO Ocean Producer, a MOPS unit based on a 77,000-dwt tanker, is designed with the flexibility requirements of marginal field development in mind. With oil production capacity of 15,000 to 25,000 barrels per day, depending on crude characteristics, and storage for 500,000 barrels, the Ocean Producer is sized and equipped to develop small or marginal fields over broad ranges of production profiles, environmental conditions and water depths. Adaptable by design, the Ocean Producer can make the difference between a development dead-end and a profitable project.

Of course, it's not only the vessel that makes the difference. It's also a contractor with a commitment to performance, results, and value. At Oceaneering, we are committed to meeting the challenges of marginal field production with MOPS units that lower costs without lowering quality. We are committed to managing MOPS projects on aggressive conversion and mobilization schedules that accelerate cash flow and enhance development economics. And we are committed to seeking incentive-based commercial terms that help our customers manage the risks of marginal field projects.

Flexibility and commitment, the right vessel and the right contractor. Oceaneering can make the difference in your next development project.
