Course Overview

The FPSO: FPSO Design, Operation and Maintenance course by Open Source is a comprehensive technical program designed for engineers, offshore project managers, and maintenance supervisors involved in floating production systems. This training, delivered over five intensive days, prepares participants for roles such as FPSO Project Engineer, Offshore Operations Manager, and Maintenance Supervisor within the oil and gas sector. Instructors are industry veterans with 15+ years of offshore experience, ensuring the curriculum aligns with industry competency frameworks used by major energy operators and classification societies like DNV and ABS.

Participants engage with critical FPSO systems including turret mooring and swivel systems, subsea umbilicals, risers and flowlines, cargo and ballast systems, inert gas systems, emergency shutdown systems, and utility power generation platforms. The hands-on lab component simulates real-world engineering challenges using digital twin models based on actual FPSO conversions, where students configure hull structural assessments, design station-keeping solutions, and develop inspection and maintenance plans under varying metocean conditions. Conducted in a virtual engineering environment with integrated P&ID diagrams and 3D asset models, the labs culminate in a capstone scenario: designing a life extension plan for an aging FPSO, factoring in fatigue analysis, regulatory compliance, and risk-based inspection protocols.

This course provides essential preparation for professional recognition in offshore engineering practices and supports career progression toward senior technical or project management roles. Graduates report average salary increases of 20 to 30 percent when transitioning into FPSO-focused positions, with senior roles commanding upwards of 180,000 dollars annually. Open Source delivers this curriculum through Guaranteed-to-Run live online sessions with expert instructors, ensuring access to official courseware and one-on-one mentoring. Upon completion, learners are equipped to lead critical phases of FPSO projects, from concept design to decommissioning, positioning them for long-term impact in the evolving global offshore energy landscape.
