Keppel O&M has delivered the world’s fastest brownfield Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO) modification and upgrading project safely and on time.
Named FPSO Abigail-Joseph, the vessel was delivered to Yinson Nepeta Production Ltd (Yinson), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yinson Holdings Berhad.
Chris Ong, CEO of Keppel O&M said: “This is our 134th floating production vessel, and we are pleased to be able to fast-track the project and upgrade it in under seven months. This achievement reflects Keppel’s track record of reliability and quality, anchored in our strong engineering and project management capabilities, which enable us to offer value adding solutions for customers.”
Keppel’s scope in this project includes refurbishment and life extension work, engineering and procurement, fabrication and installation of new structures including the helideck and riser balcony, as well as the installation, integration and completion of topside modules.
Chartered by First Exploration and Petroleum Development Company Ltd (FIRST E&P) on a firm seven-year contract with options to extend, FPSO Abigail-Joseph will be deployed in Block OML 83/85 in the Anyala-Madu field, Niger State, Nigeria.
