Singapore shipyard group Seatrium has won an S$11bn ($8.14bn) contract to build two floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels for Brazil’s Petrobras.
The vessels will each have a production capacity of 225,000 bopd and a gas processing capacity of 10 mcpd. Construction will start in the first quarter of 2025, with the final delivery expected in 2029.
Both FPSOs will incorporate advanced technologies such as zero routine flaring and venting, variable speed drives and measures to control emissions and capture CO2, including an all-electric concept, which focuses on efficient power generation and increased energy efficiency to achieve a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity, Seatrium said.
Seatrium’s facilities in Brazil, China, and Singapore will build the modules, weighing 60,000 tonnes, with the outsourced hull and accommodation transported to Singapore for topside module integration and commissioning, after which the units will be towed to Brazil.
The FPSOs dubbed P-84 and P-85 will be deployed in the Atapu and Sépia fields, located in the eastern part of the Santos Basin, some 200 km offshore of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
