The world's first floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel featuring a carbon capture and storage facility was delivered in Shanghai on Monday (March 2).
The AGOGO FPSO measures 333 meters long and 60 meters wide, with a daily production capacity of up to 120,000 barrels of crude oil and an oil storage capacity of 1.6 million barrels. By capturing carbon dioxide from its operations and using exhaust heat energy for electricity, the vessel aims to enhance environmental protection and energy efficiency.
Traditional FPSOs emit about 20 to 30 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per barrel. The AGOGO FPSO is expected to cut emissions by approximately 230,000 tonnes annually, equivalent to the CO2 absorbed by 7,333 hectares of forest in one year.
This delivery marks a significant advancement in offshore carbon capture technology in China, contributing to global decarbonization efforts in the offshore oil industry.
