According to Petrobras’ statement on Monday, with a processing capacity of 180 thousand barrels of oil per day and 7.2 million cubic meters of gas per day, the platform is of the FPSO type, a floating unit that produces, stores, and transfers oil. It is scheduled for delivery in 2024.
In a separate statement on Monday, Keppel said the value of the contract is estimated to be around $2.3 billion.
As detailed by Petrobras, the supply of the FPSO will result from the engineering, procurement and construction contracting modality and from Petrobras’ strategy of developing new projects for its own platforms, incorporating the lessons learned from the FPSOs already installed in the pre-salt, including contracting and construction aspects.
