Cossack Pioneer FPSO (Floating Production and Storage Offshore) vessel producing in NW Australia
Fascinating bit of machinery there, Sarah.
Yeah, sure is. Usually a converted tanker.... these puppies are basically the same as an offshore platform, but they have the added advantage that they can move from field to field when needed. And in our part of the world, unlatch from the wellhead and run away from cyclones Although, having said that, we do have conventional platforms producing the Australian fields as well.
