FPSO’s market overview
Stable demand, good forecast
Increasing complexity

Overruns and delays
Market forecast for the FPSO segmentMain operators for leased fpso
The FPSO market has a stable demand with a good forecast, characterized by high complexity and risk, as well as cost overruns and delays in the delivery time.

Major Leasers Disciplined biddingAfter reporting big losses in 2008–12 and undergoing a change of senior management, major leasers are also becoming more risk averse and are accepting fewer new orders.
BW Offshore, a major leaser, has not signed a new order since 2010 and has been more focused on renewing its existing contracts. SBM and MODEC are also more selective about getting new orders. SBM intends to secure its leadership position in Brazil and Angola and is open to securing projects in other regions. MODEC intends to grow its FPSO business by focusing on Brazil and the “emerging Africa market”.

The FPSO’s market demand• The market is characterized by fast evolution, stable demand and growing
complexity.
• The current trend is based on owned solutions for high complexity, in whichthe importance of the top side is fundamental. The leased option trend isbased on low/medium complexity.
• The delays in the delivery time impact negatively on the cost.
• The strategy of Oil major companies focus on ensuring a major control of the investments, Operational costs, and transference of the higher risk to contractors

The FPSO’s market supply• The supply is limited to a closed number of qualified contractors, with new
operators entering strongly in the market but with competences and strategies in the mid term to verify. As well as the low profitability and the high risk could put out them.
• The leaders have adapted commercial selective polices for clients/countriesminimizing risk, forced by the negative results of the last years and concerns of investors about the sustainability of the market in mid/long term.
• The supply chain has critical elements due to the increasing demand for complex projects, lack of competences and qualified personnel, costoverruns, difficulties to control delays, due to lack of project management and engineering, and increasing relevance on national content

Feasibility Owned vs. Leased FPSO
• The key parameters to decide whether lease or own an FPSO are NPV, Maximum financial exposure and Pay-out time.
• The financial situation of the oil major company affects the selection of a leased or owned FPSO development.
• For instance a company with a low portfolio of business willing to achieve a desired position in the market would try to accept projects with a higher financial exposure, more risky (political uncertainty related to the specific country but out of the scope of this report), at cost of making the profit forecasted in the NPV.
• Other that economical and financial aspects has to be taken into account the technical/operational capabilities of the oil company

Production Sharing Agreement (PSA)The Key Terms for Block Polito are:• Located in West Africa.• First 20 million barrels of oil are tax free
• Royalty is based on sliding scale

Taxation• 50% Tax oil• 50% of tangible capital costs allowable as Investment allowance

Feasibility Owned vs. Leased FPSO• The NPV for the Owned FPSO results 1,725 $mm (IRR 45%) at a cost of
money of 7,8% and maximum financial exposure of 969 $mm, which lead to get the pay-out time in late-2020.
• The NPV for the leased FPSO results 906 $mm (IRR 39%) at a cost of money of 7,8% and maximum financial exposure of 553 $mm, which lead to get the pay-out time at the beginning-2021. Both cases evaluated in 13 years period.

FPSO-Oil Processing Capacity (bbls/d)
Oil Major Companies have deloped internal competences to manage the entire life cycle of the asset with adoption of flexible strategies as function of the project/country, always giving priority to the ownership and direct management for high complexity assets and revelant for the business.

Conclusions• The FPSOs are key assets for deepwater offshore
• The FPSO supply chain has critical elements such as: project complexity, few qualified suppliers, and delays/overruns
• The main operative models are Leased/Owned; oil major companies tend to own the high complexity assets keeping the O&M management
• Floating production units are key assets for ENI, and in specific FPSOs.
• ENI develops offshore competences for well-established processes/organization that can add value regarless the operating model.
• The selection of owned/leased FPSO solution must be evaluated case by case based on financial/economic reasons, with particular considerations for the country/project.The technical/operative competences are critical for managing an FPSO.
• Regardless the selection of leased/owned unit, establishment of a proper operating model to monitor/challenge directly production, which is core business of any major oil company is much important. The operating model demand to be efficient and flexible.
