SBM Offshore selects Siemens Energy for Brazil Sergipe-Alagoas FPSOs

Siemens Energy has been chosen by SBM Offshore to supply powerfulness procreation and state compression systems for Petrobras' platforms successful Brazil's Sergipe-Alagoas basin.

The instrumentality volition beryllium installed connected floating production, retention and offloading vessels (FPSOs) serving 2 platforms, P-81 and P-87.

The Sergipe-Alagoas Deepwater basin, which contains Petrobras' SEAP I and SEAP II developments, is regarded arsenic a large country for lipid and earthy state output. The SEAP I task volition usage the P-81 FPSO, portion the P-87 level volition beryllium utilized for SEAP II.

Once operational, the 2 platforms are designed to nutrient up to 240,000 barrels of lipid and process up to 22 cardinal cubic metres of earthy state per day.

Both FPSOs volition beryllium delivered and operated by SBM Offshore. The vessels volition link to a dedicated state export pipeline, which is intended to present state from offshore sites to onshore facilities and the Brazilian market.

The Sergipe-Alagoas task aims to trim reliance connected flaring and reinjection by channelling associated state onshore.

Initial accumulation is anticipated to commence successful 2030, with state exports expected to statesman successful 2031.

Under the agreement, Siemens Energy volition present a full of 16 modular systems, with 8 units allocated to each platform.

The proviso includes 4 state turbine generators to nutrient electricity, 3 state turbine-driven compressor trains for state processing and export, and 1 electrically driven compressor for state injection per FPSO.

Siemens Energy said that these systems volition beryllium tailored for offshore conditions wherever reliability and abstraction ratio are essential.

The institution plans to assemble the bulk of the instrumentality astatine its concern installation successful Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, located successful southeastern Brazil.

The tract is known for its offshore assemblage way record, having delivered much than 150 modular units for lipid and state projects since 2012.

The section assembly volition besides assistance conscionable nationalist contented requirements stipulated for the project.

The archetypal consignment is scheduled for transportation to SBM Offshore by the extremity of 2027, with the remaining shipments to travel successful 2028.

Siemens Energy Latin America elder vice president Marcela Souza said: "The offshore marketplace is evolving towards progressively personalised and large-scale projects, wherever competitory timelines and execution are arsenic captious arsenic the exertion itself.

"Our attack for this concern with SBM Offshore focused connected integrating engineering, manufacturing, proviso concatenation and services successful a coordinated effort, combining a beardown section footprint with our planetary capabilities."
