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

The Azurite 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 has storage capacity 1.4 million barrels (220×10^3 m3) of crude oil. Its processing capacity is 60 thousand barrels per day (9.5×10^3 m3/d) of fluid and 40 thousand barrels per day (6.4×10^3 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 started production at the Azurite offshore oilfield in waters of the Republic of Congo.[5][8]
