Fossil Energy – Buoyancy Modules
CRP Subsea has recently secured a contract with a leading energy technology company.
The contract involves the supply of distributed buoyancy modules (DBMs) to a deepwater oil field project situated in the pre-salt Santos Basin, offshore Brazil.
CRP Subsea’s DBMs will be utilised on a flexible production riser transporting oil from the subsea facility to the floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel above. Specifically engineered, the DBMs will establish a dynamic subsea lazy-wave configuration to mitigate the top tension on the FPSO.
They feature a high-capacity compliant internal clamp, intricately designed to ensure controlled and uniform circumferential clamping pressure around the riser. This not only maintains the position of the DBM but also eliminates the risk of pipeline damage, contributing to the prolonged lifespan of the field.
Manufactured at CRP Subsea’s state-of-the-art-manufacturing facility in the North West of England. Project engineering works are set to commence imminently, with delivery scheduled for June this year.
