Aker Solutions wins oil separation contract in Brazil
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
19 November 2010 - Aker Solutions has signed a contract to design, build and
supply heavy oil separation equipment to an FPSO vessel operated by OSX, an EBX
group company, in Brazil. The contract value is approximately NOK 40 million.
"This is a major breakthrough for our in-house heavy oil compact technology. We
believe we are well positioned to win more contracts for further FPSO
conversions in the Brazilian market," says Børre Sveen, president of Aker
Solutions' process systems business in Norway.
The purpose of the EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) contract is
to offer new equipment to the existing process facilities, in order to convert
the current light oil process system to heavy oil production on board the OSX-1
FPSO, which will operate for OGX, the oil company operating on the Waimea field
offshore Brazil.
The contract scope includes design, procurement, fabrication and delivery of the
following items:
· New degasser and compact electrostatic coalescer (CEC) mounted on a
common skid with interconnecting piping
· Design modifications to existing second stage separator and delivery
of new internals
· New third stage electrostatic 3D coalescer with internals
The work will be performed by Aker Solutions' process systems divisions in
Norway, Canada and Scotland.
Fabrication of vessels and skid will be done in Singapore. The delivery is
expected in April 2011.
The conversion of the FPSO and the client project administration is performed by
BWO in Singapore on behalf of OSX with delivery from the shipyard scheduled for
May 2011.
OSX is an oil service company and integrates activities in the sectors of
shipyard, chartering, operation and maintenance of offshore units.
