The Global FPSO Forum, which brings together international industry experts that have real-world floating production and storage offloading (FPSO) experience, will hold sessions consisting of thought leaders that will discuss the latest FPSO business developments.

Lohr is currently Shell International E&P’s project director for the ultra deepwater Stones FPSO development in the Gulf of Mexico. 

At Global FPSO, Lohr will discuss the Stones project, which once installed, will be the deepest floating production system in the world.
