Lighter Topsides, Leaner CAPEX: Distributed Power for Offshore

Join Upstream on the December 2nd at XXXX GMT/ XXXX CET/ XXXX ET for an executive chat exploring how modular gas turbines cut weight, footprint, and cost without compromising availability. 

Overview

Lighter topsides. Leaner CAPEX. No compromise on availability.

Offshore power has to deliver high availability in a compact footprint, at a cost that works for the project, while leaving room for the technologies still to come. This free executive webinar looks at how a distributed approach, combining light industrial and aeroderivative modular gas turbines, can meet all of those demands.

Drawing on analysis of representative offshore load profiles, our speakers will compare distributed and conventional centralised generation on equipment cost, topside weight, footprint and balance of plant. You’ll hear how modularity supports phased installation, simpler maintenance and redundancy without oversizing individual units. You’ll also hear how this approach keeps the door open to combined cycle, carbon capture and storage, exhaust gas recirculation and low-carbon fuel blends.

Whether you’re designing a new FPSO or upgrading an existing facility, you’ll leave with practical guidance on balancing near-term project economics with long-term technology readiness.

Why Attend?

The discussion will explore:

• Why offshore power is uniquely challenging- balancing high availability, compact footprint, cost efficiency and the flexibility to accommodate future technologies on FPSOs and other offshore facilities.
• The case for distributed generation- how combining light industrial and aeroderivative modular gas turbines enables optimised sizing, greater operational flexibility and reduced installed power margins compared with conventional centralised concepts.
• The impact on CAPEX and OPEX- what the analysis shows on equipment cost, topside weight, footprint and balance of plant, and how modularity supports phased installation, simpler maintenance and redundancy without oversizing individual units.
• Looking ahead- how this approach keeps the door open to combined cycle, carbon capture and storage, exhaust gas recirculation and low-carbon fuel blends, so near-term project economics don’t come at the expense of long-term technology readiness.
