IMA Consulting and Research Capabilities in the Floating Production Sector IMA has been providing market research and strategic
advisory services in the floating production sector for more than 30
years. We have worked for numerous
clients at all levels of the supply chain. Consulting Services - Our assignments have included advice
on market positioning, acquiring a major leasing contractor, forming an
alliance to bid for large FPSO contracts, evaluating redeployment options for
FPSOs, establishing residual values in FPSO contracts, targeting unmet
requirements through technology development, etc. Floating
Production Systems Around
280 floating production systems of various types are in service worldwide and
another 65+ are on order. Production
floaters are very complex systems. A
deepwater production floater can easily be a $1 billion construction contract -
really big units in ultradeepwater can exceed $3 billion. Their construction, leasing and operation
provide very attractive business opportunities. For more information on this business sector, please
visit our monthly summary of "What's New" in the floating production sector. Industry
Research - We have
produced more than 60 multi-client industry reports on the floating production sector
over the past 20 years. Our "floater reports" have been a widely cited reference source in the offshore industry and
our annual forecast of equipment orders has been widely referenced in
investment presentations, industry publications and other consulting firm
reports.
The final IMA floater report in our
multi-client series was published in November 2013. IMA has now teamed
up with Marine Link, the world's largest print and online maritime publisher,
to create a deepwater business intelligence service. Our new
company, World Energy Reports, combines IMA's floating production
business experience with Marine Link's publishing/IT capability and worldwide
network of industry correspondents. Click here for brochure.
