Many oil and gas industry applications face space constraints. This limitation requires more compact solutions providing the same performance as traditional alternatives, and this is particularly true in many valve installations, where actuators often require an inordinate amount of space.
Many oil and gas industry applications face space constraints. This limitation requires more compact solutions providing the same performance as traditional alternatives, and this is particularly true in many valve installations, where actuators often require an inordinate amount of space.
This article will examine two applications—a floating production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel, and a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) vessel—where space is at a premium, although the problems and solutions discussed are often found in many other areas of the oil and gas value change.
The ultimate space constraint
The landscape of oil and gas production is changing very rapidly. The LNG mar
