Floating, Production, Storage and Offloading "FPSO" have become a popular choice since 1980s for marginal and fast-track developments where subsea pipeline is not an economic or feasible solution for export. Field development usually starts with a concept selection procedure which is constituted from a sequence of multi-disciplinary decision making tasks. As limited data is available in the early phase of the development, operators require a robust and rational decision making process to reduce the drawback of immature information. The Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) process which is used in this paper is an industrial approved and accepted decision making process that can resolve this requirement. This method is commonly used as a decision making method for multiple attributes problems. The main objective of this study is to illustrate the application of this method for concept selection for shallow water fields. Here the problem is reduced to a selection among two common FPSO concepts: ship-shaped and cylindrical by assessing their performances for the same location. The primary attributes which have been used for performance assessment includes: stability, motions and accelerations, riser stresses and mooring line tensions under both intact and damaged conditions. To simplify the problem, the same topside weight and tank capacity are considered and response comparison is limited to the linear responses induced by wave under full loaded conditions. For both FPSOs spread mooring system with steep-s flexible riser system are considered. For the given environmental conditions, cylindrical FPSO shows better motion characteristics which lead to smaller mooring and riser loads. This method should be generalized for other shallow water production system by including all the attributes used in the shallow water field development concept selection.

Diverse forms of offshore oil and gas structures are utilized for a wide range of purposes and in varying water depths. They are designed for unique environments and water depths around the world. The applications of these offshore structures require different activities for proper equipment selection, design of platform types, and drilling/production methods. This paper will provide a general overview of these operations as well as the platform classifications. In this paper, a comprehensive review is conducted on different offshore petroleum structures. This study examines the fundamentals of all types of offshore structures (fixed and floating), as well as the applications of these concepts for oil exploration and production. The study also presents various design parameters for state-of-the-art offshore platforms and achievements made in the industry. Finally, suitable types of offshore platforms for various water depths are offered for long-term operations. An extension of this study (Part II) covers sustainable design approaches and project management on these structures; this review helps designers in understanding existing offshore structures, and their uniqueness. Hence, the review also serves as a reference data source for designing new offshore platforms and related structures.
