The Wison Low Emission FPSO design reduces the carbon footprint of offshore energy operations at a time that FPSOs have become a prevalent choice for deepwater oil and gas development around the globe, especially in remote sea areas lacking local infrastructure.

As environmental protection pressure rises, low-carbon technologies have become increasingly crucial in FPSO operations, said Wison New Energies.

The design has achieved a comprehensive carbon reduction up to 40% by implementing a range of advanced technologies. Wison New Energies and Bureau Veritas fully co-operated with close technical exchanges and joint design optimisation to complete the design, audit and certification of the FPSO project.

Bruce Wei, General Manager of Offshore, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore North Asia Zone said: "BV is pleased to witness WNE supporting the global energy transition with the development of the low emission FPSO. We believe that our collaboration in advanced technical support and services will drive the FPSO business towards further success."

Jiang Hao, Vice President of Wison New Energies, said: "Wison New Energies is dedicated to building on our technical expertise in the FPSO, continuously refining our designs to enhance production efficiency while substantially cutting carbon emissions. The receipt of this AIP certificate validates our dedication to pioneering sustainable energy solutions."
