Berantai Floating Production Limited

Ship Owners

Berantai Floating Production Limited (BFPL) is a company associated with the oil and gas industry, specifically focusing on floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units. FPSO units are crucial for offshore oil and gas production, providing an all-in-one solution for the extraction, processing, storage, and offloading of hydrocarbons from subsea wells in remote locations.

BFPL has been involved in notable projects within the industry, one of which is the Berantai Development. The Berantai field is located offshore Malaysia, in the South China Sea. The development of this field was part of Malaysia's broader strategy to enhance its oil and gas production capabilities to meet growing energy demands.

The FPSO unit utilized in projects like Berantai is essential for floating production and can handle a variety of crucial tasks:

Extraction: The unit can receive hydrocarbons from underwater wells via subsea pipelines.

Processing: Onboard facilities separate oil and gas from water and contaminants.

Storage: The processed oil is stored in the FPSO's hull until it can be offloaded to shuttle tankers.

Offloading: Oil is transferred from the FPSO to tankers which then transport it to refineries or storage facilities onshore.

BFPL's involvement brings several advantages:

Flexibility: FPSOs can be moved and redeployed to different fields once the current field is depleted.

Cost-Efficiency: They reduce the need for extensive subsea infrastructure and can be a more economical option compared to fixed platforms.

Remote Operations: They enable production in remote and deepwater locations where traditional platforms would be impractical.

The company’s technical expertise and strategic deployments have contributed to the effective and efficient development of offshore resources, aligning with industry best practices and environmental standards.

Please note, specific details about Berantai Floating Production Limited’s corporate structure, ownership, and changes over time may require more direct or updated information from industry reports or the company's official communications.
