The FPSO will be based in the Libra field, offshore Brazil, at a water depth of approximately 8.202 feet (2,500 meters). Once completed, it will have a capacity of 50,000 barrels of oil per day and 141.24 million cubic feet (4 million cubic meters) of natural gas per day.
Technip’s operating center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, will execute the contract which is scheduled for completion during the second semester of 2016.
KK Lim, President of Technip in Asia Pacific, commented: “We are pleased to engineer the topsides of this FPSO that would be used for work on the Libra field in the ultra-deepwater section of Brazil’s Santos Basin. It demonstrates the trust of our client in Technip’s technical strength and extensive knowledge in this kind of floating platform, having delivered some of the largest FPSO units in the world.”
