MODEC, Inc. yalengeza kuti yasaina Mgwirizano Wogulitsa ndi Kugula (SPA) ndi Equinor Brasil Energia Ltd, wothandizidwa ndi Equinor ASA, kuti apereke chombo cha Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) kuti apange gulu la Pao. de Acucar, Seat & Gavea mu BM-C-33 block ya Campos Basin offshore Brazil.FPSO ndi imodzi mwazinthu zovuta kwambiri m'mbiri ya MODEC, yogwira magasi ambiri otumizidwa kunja ndikuyang'ana kwambiri kuchepetsa mpweya wa GHG.
SPA ndi mgwirizano wa magawo awiri ophatikizana ndi Front End Engineering Design (FEED) ndi Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Installation (EPCI) ya FPSO yonse.Monga Equinor ndi othandizana nawo adalengeza Chigamulo Chomaliza Chakugulitsa (FID) pa Meyi 8,2023 atamaliza FEED yomwe idayamba pa Epulo 2022, MODEC tsopano yapatsidwa gawo 2 la mgwirizano wa EPCI ya FPSO.MODEC iperekanso Equinor ntchito ndi kukonza ntchito za FPSO kwa chaka choyamba kuchokera pakupanga kwake mafuta koyamba, pambuyo pake Equinor akukonzekera kugwiritsa ntchito FPSO.
Chombo cha FPSO chidzatumizidwa kumunda, womwe uli m'chigawo chachikulu cha "pre-mchere" kum'mwera kwa Campos Basin, pafupifupi makilomita 200 kuchokera ku gombe la Rio de Janeiro, ndikukhazikika pamadzi akuya pafupifupi 2,900 mamita. .Njira yofalikira idzaperekedwa ndi kampani ya MODEC, SOFEC, Inc. Othandizana nawo a Equinor ndi Repsol Sinopec Brazil (35%) ndi Petrobras (30%).Kutumiza kwa FPSO kukuyembekezeka mu 2027.
MODEC idzakhala ndi udindo pakupanga ndi kumanga FPSO, kuphatikiza zida zopangira ma topsides ndi makina apanyanja.FPSO idzakhala ndi ma topsides opangidwa kuti apange migolo pafupifupi 125,000 yamafuta osapsa patsiku komanso kupanga ndi kutumiza kunja pafupifupi ma cubic feet 565 miliyoni amafuta ogwirizana nawo patsiku.Malo ake ocheperako osungira mafuta osapsa adzakhala migolo 2,000,000.
FPSO idzagwiritsa ntchito kapangidwe katsopano ka MODEC, kamangidwe kawiri kawiri, kopangidwa kuti kakhale ndi malo okulirapo komanso malo osungiramo okulirapo kuposa akasinja wamba a VLCC, okhala ndi moyo wautali wantchito.
Kutengera mwayi wamalo okulirapo apamtunda, FPSO iyi ikhala yachiwiri yamagetsi ya FPSO yokhala ndi Combined Cycle System for Power Generation yomwe imachepetsa kwambiri mpweya wa kaboni poyerekeza ndi makina wamba oyendetsedwa ndi Gas Turbine.
"Ndife olemekezeka komanso onyadira kuti tasankhidwa kuti tipereke FPSO pa projekiti ya BM-C-33," adatero Takeshi Kanamori, Purezidenti ndi CEO wa MODEC."Timanyadiranso chidaliro chomwe Equinor ali nacho mu MODEC.Tikukhulupirira kuti mphothoyi ikuyimira ubale wolimba wakukhulupirirana pakati pathu womwe udakhazikitsidwa pa projekiti ya Bacalhau FPSO yomwe ikupitilira komanso mbiri yathu yolimba mdera la mchere usanakhale.Tikuyembekeza kugwirira ntchito limodzi ndi Equinor ndi othandizana nawo kuti ntchitoyi ikhale yopambana. "
FPSO idzakhala 18th FPSO/FSO chombo ndi 10th FPSO m'chigawo chamchere chisanayambe choperekedwa ndi MODEC ku Brazil.
