Fabrication Solutions for Offshore, Subsea and Deepwater Projects
Abstract
Oil and gas clients look to Fluor for solutions to design and build offshore, subsea and deepwater production facilities in challenging locations around the world. To meet that challenge, Fluor has developed offsite fabrication strategies to mitigate the issues associated with building these structures on location.
Fluor operates self-perform fabrication yards strategically located to serve global markets. Self-perform fabrication yards may be adjacent to the site or at remote locations, reducing onsite craft requirements and shifting work to safer and more controlled work environments. Fluor seamlessly links fabrication and construction into the design and procurement cycles of an offshore project during front-end engineering and design (FEED) and incorporates health, safety and environment (HSE) and quality programs at all levels. Typical offsite fabrication options for offshore, subsea and deepwater industry clients include:
Topsides / topside modules
Compliant towers
Gravity-based structures
Jackets and hulls
Semi-submersibles
Tension leg platforms
Living quarters
Mobile offshore production units (MOPUs)
Subsea manifolds / modules
Client Benefits
