Quite an old news, but this is the GAODASHANG offshore:

The world's first Floating, Drilling, Production, Storage and Offloading vessel (FDPSO), which is owned by Prosafe Production, has left Keppel Shipyard in Singapore on January 24, 2009. After a short stay at anchorage, it will head for the Republic of Congo where it will be deployed at Murphy West Africa Ltd's (a suBSIdiary of Murphy Oil Corporation) deepwater Azurite development in the Mer Profonde Sud Block.

In November 2007, Prosafe was awarded a $400 million contract for the conversion and operation of a Floating Drilling, Production, Storage and Offloading unit. Named the Azurite, this first of its kind FPSO with drilling capabilities incorporates a design that is cost efficient and effective for drilling and producing deepwater fields.

The vessel is equipped with a modular drilling package that can be removed and reused elsewhere when the production wells have been drilled. The Azurite has a storage capacity of 1.4 million barrels of oil and a process capacity of 60,000 bfpd/40,000 bopd and will be spread-moored at a water depth of 1,400 meters.

Prosafe Production has been responsible for the FPSO conversion, while Murphy West Africa Ltd (Murphy) has been responsible for the drilling scope. After conversion, Prosafe Production is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the vessel, while Murphy is responsible for drilling operations.

Azurite Development, Mer Profonde Sud Block

Murphy’s Mer Profonde Sud Azurite field development is located in 1,400 m (4,600 ft) of water and approximately 80 nautical miles offshore the Republic of Congo. The project consists of a subsea drill center producing back to the FDPSO. Development well drilling and all subsequent work will be performed via a compact rig located on the FDPSO. Product will be off loaded via conventional tanker moored in tandem, and associated gas will be utilized for fuel.

Information for WIKI:

The Azurite FDPSO is the world's first floating, drilling, production, storage and offloading (FDPSO) vessel.[4][5]

The Azurite FDPSO was built at the shipyard of Hyundai Heavy Industries in 1988 as a very large crude carrier (VLCC). In 1988–1990 her name was Fina Europe, in 1990–1993 Sanco Europe, and in 1993–1997 MT Europe.[6] She was converted at the Keppel Shipyard from the VLCC to FDPSO between July 2007 and February 2009.[4][7]

The Azurite FDPSO has storage capacity 1.4 million barrels (220×103 m3) of crude oil. Its processing capacity is 60 thousand barrels per day (9.5×103 m3/d) of fluid and 40 thousand barrels per day (6.4×103 m3/d) of oil.[7]

Prosafe Production is responsible for the vessel operations and Murphy Oil is responsible for drilling.[4]

On 10 August 2009, Azurite FDPSO started production at the Azurite offshore oilfield in waters of the Republic of Congo.[5][8]
