Africa's FPSO pipeline is entering its most active build phase in a decade. As operators and NOCs across Angola, Nigeria, Mozambique, and beyond commit to new floating production capacity, FPSO Africa Congress 2027 brings together the decision-makers shaping contracts, capital, and capacity across the continent's offshore sector. This is where EPC contractors, FPSO owners, operators, and technology providers meet to align on the projects defining Africa's offshore future, from FID through first oil.

View the presentation by Ken Etete, Group CEO, Century Group Nigeria conducted in FPSO Africa Congress 2024! This presentation offered valuable insights on how a local FPSO operator innovates in the African landscape.

Some of the highlights of the session include:

• Innovations in FPSO Projects
• Africa's Energy Outlook
• FPSO Project Execution Models

Check out our session highlights of FPSO Africa Congress last year as Dave Hartell, Managing Director, Stellae Energy takes us through the importance of Local Content when dealing with FPSO projects in Africa.

The presentation talks about the following key notes

• Understanding how oil producers can better work together with FPSO contractors in light of regulations
• Strategies for fostering trust and cooperation: sharing knowledge, resources, and expertise
• Mitigating challenges such as capacity constraints, regulatory complexities, and cost considerations

From Nigeria to Senegal, Africa is proving itself to be a fast-developing FPSO market, with notable projects in 10 countries — and this number looks set to rise.

Already, the continent is home to the world’s largest FPSO, Egina, which was developed in Nigeria by Total Upstream Nigeria, in conjunction with CNOOC, Petrobras and Sapetro. Such developments are expected to continue throughout Africa, with a growing number of companies exploring unchartered territory in new destinations.

Thanks largely to support from governments and investors, as well as the consistency of natural water and wind movement, Africa provides a conducive environment for new FPSO projects to take root. Furthermore, FPSOs have taken advantage of digitisation to accelerate their progress, making sustainable success a reality for an increasing number of oil and gas companies.

As the world continues its recovery from the effects laid down by the pandemic, there is an increase in demand for energy and projects across the Oil & Gas sector. Consequentially, more than 50 FPSO projects has been planned to take place within the next 5 years.

FPSO Network has put together an overview of the ongoing projects in the world as well as the upcoming projects that have been planned. Understand more about each region’s activities and the potential of the oil & gas industry.

As we enter the new year, the global FPSO market is not slowing down — it is becoming more selective, disciplined, and strategically focused. Offshore investment remains resilient, but the factors driving FPSO demand are evolving rapidly.
