The scope of work comprises the supply of two sulphate removal systems (SRUs) with associated equipments. The SRU systems will be installed on the topsides of the P-58 and P-62 FPSOs.
The company said that the sulphate removal technology provided by Aker Solutions delivers treated and de-sulphated seawater for injection into the hydrocarbon reservoir to maintain the pressure and control scaling and souring effects in the reservoir. High quality injection water devoid of sulphate and particles provides cost savings and improves the safety aspect in the handling of well streams.
Ronaldo Ribeiro, president of Aker Solutions’ process systems business in Brazil, said: “The Brazilian market is fast growing and there is a huge potential for the type of solutions we can offer through our highly experienced team.
“Aker Solutions has deep roots in Brazil and gained significant experience over the years through previous deliveries of several similar projects using both local and international execution.”
The contract will be executed by Aker Solutions´ team based in Rio de Janeiro that will further develop the conceptual design and oversee the project all the way through delivery. The detailed engineering, procurement, fabrication of major equipment, commissioning and start-up are included in the contract.
The FPSO P-58 shall produce 180 000bopd and will operate in the North part of Parque das Baleias field. P-62 has equal capacity and will operate in module 4 of the Roncador field, both located in the Campos’ basin offshore Brazil. First oil is scheduled for 2014.
The contract party within Aker Solutions is Aker Solutions do Brasil Ltda. The project will be overseen by the Aker Solutions’ process systems business.
