Design and engineering firm Atkins, a subsidiary of Deep Draught Production, Storage and Offloading (DDPSO, has been given a US patent for its the SNC-Lavalin Group) marginal field production facility. The DDPSO is a floating product that is reusable, with a low CAPEX that is designed to work in harsh environments that may prove unsuitable for other production, storage and offloading vessels. The concept has already gained a GB patent, given its stable platform solution with oil storage and a low-cost, high weight-efficient hull.
