FPSOs are a principal method for International oil production for areas where no refinery is located nearby (in contrast to Offshore Platforms for Shelf-depth offshore waters around the world, and floating Deepwater Structures which connect to fixed pipelines, such as in the US Gulf of Mexico and Brazil). The world "nameplate" capacity for FPSOs is an impressive 15 million Bbl/d, although the actual throughput is less, with depletion in field production over time. http://www.ziffenergy.com/download/pressrelease/PR20090505-01.pdf Improving Field Performance FPSO Tue, 05 May 2009 06:00:00 GMT 6368aa87-7f44-4607-9fbf-5a23355fcff4 Ziff Energy Group is pleased to announce the winners of the above awards on Tuesday, October 29, at the North American Gas Strategies Conference at the Westin Hotel.

The difference between price and cost is called "the margin", and the downward plunge of gas prices from their high last fall is running into the "brick wall" of surging costs. http://www.ziffenergy.com/download/pressrelease/PR20060629-01.pdf Pricing Thu, 29 Jun 2006 06:00:00 GMT 2580cda5-1dca-49ef-8e3c-ebc657bf04bf Ziff Energy Group announces the release of a 2 page alert which reviews the current status of gas storage and implications of storage fields being filled early to record inventories. http://www.ziffenergy.com/download/pressrelease/PR20060801-02.pdf North American Gas Strategies Storage Tue, 01 Aug 2006 06:00:00 GMT 3ac7f8c3-fc35-4d2a-960c-f0945e5715cc Ziff Energy announces the release of a report that reviews the growth of natural gas demand for ethanol production. Natural gas is used as an input to grow crops such as corn for ethanol feedstock, and to provide thermal energy for the ethanol production process. As a result of the push for greener power sources and energy policies in North America mandating increased use of ethanol as a vehicle fuel, Ziff Energy forecasts that gas demand for ethanol production will double by 2012. http://www.ziffenergy.com/download/pressrelease/PR20070622-01.pdf North American Gas Strategies Demand Fri, 22 Jun 2007 06:00:00 GMT bb31ebc0-3398-4b25-8a9f-f6b65e6c6704 Provides an analysis and outlook for the major gas supply basins in North America and Ziff Energy’s forecast of natural gas production from these basins. http://www.ziffenergy.com/download/pressrelease/PR20100208-01.pdf Supply Mon, 08 Feb 2010 07:00:00 GMT 02a97ab6-00e0-4481-a7de-f6daf62d8978 Ziff Energy announces the release of a report evaluating over 40 major current and potential natural gas pipeline projects allocated into six North American regions. Should all reported pipeline projects proceed, total investment will exceed US$25 billion through 2012. Typical pipeline projects are being budgeted at $80 to $100,000/inch-mile, up 15% from 2007.
