Seatrium has won a USD 8.16-billion contract from Brazil’s Petrobras for the newbuild supply of two FPSOs, the Singaporean company announced on Saturday.The FPSOs will be deployed in the Atapu and Sépia fields, located in the eastern part of the Santos Basin, around 200 kilometres offshore Rio de Janeiro.
Seatrium secured the deal for works on the FPSOs, P-84 and P-85, as operator of Atapu1 and Sepia2 consortiums. The vessels will each have an oil production capacity of 225,000 bopd as well as a gas processing capacity of 10 mcm (353.2 mcf) per day.Seatrium is a global provider of engineering solutions to the offshore, marine and energy industries.The P-84 and P-85 platforms are part of Petrobras’ new generation of FPSO platforms,characterised by a high production capacity that prioritise sustainable practices with innovative
technologies.
The P-84 and P-85 FPSOs will each have a production capacity of 225,000barrels of oil per day (bopd) and gas processing capacity of 10 million cubic meters per day(Sm3/d). Both FPSOs will incorporate advanced technologies such as zero routine flaring and venting, variable speed drives and measures to control emissions and capture CO2, includingan all-electric concept, which focuses on efficient power generation and increased energy
efficiency to achieve a 30% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions intensity.
These features will enhance operational efficiency and reduce environmental impact, showcasing Seatrium’s commitment to responsible and Sustainable operations.Construction for the P-84 and P-85 FPSOs will commence in first quarter of 2025 with the final delivery expected to be in 2029.Supply of the FPSO platforms will leverage the Group’s “One Seatrium Delivery Model”, where operations and engineering support are integrated across different yards globally.
Seatrium’s facilities in Brazil, China, and Singapore will manufacture the modules, weighing an impressive 60,000 metric tonnes, with the outsourced hull and accommodation transported to Singapore for topside module integration and commissioning. After successful integration and commissioning in Singapore, the FPSO platforms will be towed to the Atapu and Sépia fields for offshore commissioning.
