HOUSTON, Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — KBR (NYSE: KBR) announced today it has been awarded engineering contracts by Seatrium Group to develop topsides facilities for two new high-production, energy-efficient floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) units. The units are being designed for Petrobras’ Atapu and Sepia fields in the Santos Basin, Brazil.
Under the terms of the contracts, KBR will provide Seatrium with detailed engineering services and technical engineering procurement support for the topsides of P-84 and P-85 FPSOs, which are part of Petrobras’ new generation of FPSO platforms. These platforms are known for their high production capacity and sustainable practices. Each will be capable of producing 225,000 barrels of oil per day and compressing, treating, and re-injecting 10 Mm³ of gas per day.
In line with Petrobras’ all-electric concept, the design focuses on efficient power generation and optimized process plants, greatly enhancing energy efficiency. The FPSOs will also integrate advanced technologies to minimize environmental impact, including zero routine flaring and venting, variable speed drives, and CO2 capture measures, aimed at significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions compared to a design that does not include these technologies.
“KBR is pleased to support Seatrium in the development of the P-84 and P-85 FPSOs, further strengthening our partnership and shared commitment to deliver engineering excellence and sustainability,” said Jay Ibrahim, KBR President, Sustainable Technology Solutions. “KBR will ensure that these units are developed with a strong focus on enhancing operational efficiency and sustainability, thereby contributing to the industry’s transition toward a more sustainable future.”
KBR has been a leader in engineering design, process technology development, commercialization and offshore design solutions for more than 50 years.
