I-MODEC, Inc. ibhengeze ukuba isayine iSivumelwano soThengiso kunye nokuThenga (i-SPA) kunye ne-Equinor Brasil Energia Ltd, i-subsidiary ye-Equinor ASA, ukubonelela nge-Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) inqanawa ukuvelisa iqela lentsimi ye-Pao. de Acucar, Seat & Gavea kwibloko yeBM-C-33 yeCampos Basin offshore Brazil.I-FPSO yenye yezona ndawo zintsokothileyo kwimbali ye-MODEC, ephethe imithamo emikhulu yerhasi ethunyelwa kumazwe angaphandle egxile kakhulu ekunciphiseni ukukhutshwa kwe-GHG.
I-SPA yikontrakthi yesigaba ezibini semali yokujika isixa-mali egubungela zombini i-Front End Engineering Design (FEED) kunye ne-Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) yeFPSO yonke.Njengoko i-Equinor kunye namahlakani babhengeza iSigqibo sokugqibela soTyalo-mali (i-FID) ngoMeyi 8,2023 emva kokugqitywa kwe-FEED eyayiqale ngo-Epreli ka-2022, i-MODEC ngoku yawonga isigaba sesi-2 sekhontrakthi ye-EPCI yeFPSO.I-MODEC iya kubonelela nge-Equinor ngenkonzo yokusebenza kunye nokugcinwa kwe-FPSO kunyaka wokuqala ukusuka kwimveliso yayo yokuqala yeoli, emva koko i-Equinor iceba ukusebenzisa i-FPSO.
Inqanawa ye-FPSO iya kuthunyelwa ebaleni, ekummandla omkhulu “wangaphambi kwetyuwa” kumazantsi eCampos Basin, malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-200 ukusuka kunxweme lwaseRio de Janeiro, kwaye ibekwe ngokusisigxina kubunzulu bamanzi malunga ne-2,900 yeemitha. .Inkqubo yokusabalalisa i-mooring iya kubonelelwa yinkampani yeqela le-MODEC, i-SOFEC, Inc. Amaqabane entsimi ye-Equinor yi-Repsol Sinopec Brazil (35%) kunye ne-Petrobras (30%).Ukuhanjiswa kweFPSO kulindeleke ngo-2027.
I-MODEC iya kuba noxanduva loyilo nolwakhiwo lweFPSO, kubandakanywa izixhobo zokulungisa ii-topsides kunye ne-hull marine systems.I-FPSO iza kuba neendawo eziphezulu eziyilelwe ukuvelisa malunga ne-125,000 yemiphanda yeoli ekrwada ngosuku kunye nokuvelisa nokuthumela ngaphandle malunga ne-565 yezigidi ze-cubic feet zegesi ehambelana nayo ngosuku.Ubuncinci bokugcina umthamo we-oyile ekrwada iya kuba ngamabhareli angama-2,000,000.
I-FPSO iza kusebenzisa ulwakhiwo olutsha lweMODEC, uyilo olugcweleyo oluphindwe kabini, oluphuhliswe ukuze kuhlale iindawo eziphezulu eziphezulu kunye nomthamo omkhulu wogcino kuneetanki zeVLCC eziqhelekileyo, ezinobomi obude benkonzo yoyilo.
Ukuthatha ithuba lendawo enkulu engaphezulu, le FPSO iya kuba yeyesibini iFPSO efakwe umbane ngokupheleleyo exhotyiswe ngeNkqubo yeCycle eDityanisiweyo yeSiveliso saMandla esinciphisa kakhulu ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni xa kuthelekiswa neenkqubo eziqhelekileyo eziqhutywa yi-Gas Turbine.
“Siwongeke kakhulu kwaye sinebhongo ngokunyulwa ukuba sinikezele ngeFPSO yeprojekthi ye-BM-C-33,” utshilo uTakeshi Kanamori, uMongameli kunye ne-CEO yeMODEC.“Siyazingca ngokulinganayo ngentembelo i-Equinor ecacileyo inayo kwiMODEC.Sikholelwa ukuba eli bhaso limele ubudlelwane obuluqilima bokuthembana phakathi kwethu okwakhelwe phezu kweprojekthi ye-Bacalhau FPSO eqhubekayo kunye nerekhodi yethu eyomeleleyo kwingingqi yetyuwa yangaphambili.Sijonge phambili ekusebenzisaneni ngokusondeleyo ne-Equinor kunye namahlakani ukwenza le projekthi ibe yimpumelelo. "
I-FPSO iya kuba yi-18th FPSO/FSO inqanawa kunye ne-10th FPSO kwingingqi yangaphambi kwetyuwa ehanjiswa yi-MODEC eBrazil.
