The FPSO Symposium’s fifth edition will happen on the 9th and 10th of September 2026 and is one of the most significant Floating, Production, Storage, and Offloading events in the world.
The fourth edition took place in September 2025, with sponsorship from Petrobras, PRIO, Shell, MODEC, SLB, Equinor, Yinson Production, CAPCO, Chevron, Ecopetrol, Brava, and ABS, attracting two hundred and fifty audience members from various operators, consultants, and service companies.
The geographical conditions and the remote location of the Deep Waters reservoirs, notably the deep pre-salt giant fields, present a favorable environment for FPSO platforms.
Despite already having the most significant number of FPSOs in operation for many years, there are still accurate projections for the entry of many other FPSOs into production during the following years.
Based on this scenario, the Brazilian Society of Petroleum Engineers – SPE, through its Sections Brazil and Macaé, will hold the fifth edition of SPE Symposium FPSO 2026 to have professionals from different areas together to share lessons learned and discuss the next generations of FPSOs. Integrating multidisciplinary knowledge is essential for consolidating the worldwide chain of FPSOs design, management, operation, and construction necessary in the coming years.
The Event will be at Windsor Florida Hotel – R. Ferreira Viana, 81 – Flamengo, Rio de Janeiro – RJ, Brazil. The language is English, and professionals from other countries are very welcome.
