For many in the FPSO industry the issue of balancing CAPEX and OPEX remains a thorn in their side.

FPSO projects are resource-intensive with high CAPEX on top of high operating and maintenance costs (high OPEX). This puts pressure on the industry to continuously evolve the business models and tap into innovations to achieve commercial success. What can projects do to balance the CAPEX and OPEX?

We spoke with Eduardo Chamusca de Azevedo, Country Director – SBM Brazil and Felipe Baldissera Gabriel, Commercial and Contracts Manager, MODEC to get their thoughts.
