Congo contest to see FPDSO bid

摘要

The deadline for bids next month for Murphy's floater development offshore the Republic of Congo will see the most innovative contests for some time.For sources suggest that rather than just battling FPSO vs FPSO or TLP vs TLP the surge in drilling costs could see a whole new concept born. While Bergesen is expected to offer the "classic" concept of a TLP and FPSO for the deepwater Azurite development, and SBM and Prosafe are expected to come up with similar ideas, there is the suggestion that Saipem will be offering a Floating Production Drilling Storage and Offloading vessel (FPDSO).
