Structural Performance Management · Offshore
Structural Performance Management (SPM) connects operational decisions to asset behavior across FPSOs and offshore platforms — helping teams extend production safely, protect revenue, and strengthen capital decisions.
The structure may have more capacity than the operating window allows – but without structural visibility, no one can prove it.
Without knowing where fatigue concentrates, teams inspect on schedule – covering everything, finding little.
Assets are retired or replaced earlier than necessary because structural uncertainty enters capital planning before it needs to.
An FPSO or offshore platform never stops loading. Wave action, offloading cycles, production weight shifts — the structural demands are continuous, and the asset is hundreds of miles from the nearest dry dock. By the time a structural problem becomes visible, the options are already expensive.
SPM gives teams a live view of how the asset is actually responding — so decisions on production, inspection, and capital are made from structural reality, not assumptions.

Understand how wave loading, fatigue, and corrosion affect structural behavior before risk becomes visible.
Reduce inspection cost, protect production revenue, and defer capital — based on actual structural condition.
Adapt to changing operating conditions without creating new structural risk.
Plan inspection, maintenance, and capital timing based on how the structure has actually been loading, not periodic snapshots.
Inspection and maintenance cost cut by identifying 230 critical hotspots across the Bonga hull.
SPM proved the jacket could keep operating safely – extending its certified life by two decades, validated by class society.
“It is important for us to understand what is happening onboard the FPSO at all times, and the collaboration with Akselos is allowing us to take the first steps, where we will process data directly from the field in real-time. That ensures that we can make informed decisions to optimize lifecycle value. Ultimately it will lower the risk, as well as the costs.”
A physics-based structural twin of your critical asset, millions of degrees of freedom, solved in seconds, not overnight.
Feed it real operating data. Temperature, pressure and rate changes become stress, fatigue and remaining life – continuously.
Operations and integrity share one truth: exactly how much structural margin every decision spends. and what it’s worth.
SPM shows how operating decisions – production rates, cargo levels, offloading schedules – affect fatigue accumulation and structural integrity, cycle by cycle.
SPM shows how environmental forces and production decisions affect stress distribution and remaining life — so teams can extend assets confidently rather than conservatively.
Build the business case on a single unit. Scale SPM into a site-wide structural decision layer your control room and your board both trust.
