World Horizon

BW Offshore, Keppel Shipyard and Petrobras celebrate the naming of BW Pioneer.

BW Offshore's personnel department is dedicated to preparing crew for the complex FPSO business.

Brazil is one of the fastest growing energy producers in the world and continues to make significant oil discoveries. BW Offshore is present on Brazil's offshore oil fields as a producer and a technology provider.

BW Pioneer has lived up to its name, from being the first FPSO in the US Gulf of Mexico to setting records for turret technology. Project manager Rolf Norman tells World Horizon what it was like to lead the conversion project.

FPSOs are complex units that require as much technical expertise above deck as they do below. Ensuring the topside is installed and then operates correctly is crucial to a project’s success.
