Fossil Energy – FPSO Construction
Seatrium from Singapore has been awarded an international tender from Brazil’s National Oil Company, Petrobras for the newbuild supply of Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessels platforms P-84 and P-85.
Valued at approximately S$11 billion, these high throughput FPSOs will be deployed in the Atapu and Sépia fields located in the eastern part of the Santos Basin, approximately 200 kilometres offshore of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
The P-84 and P-85 platforms are part of Petrobras’ new generation of FPSO platforms characterised by a high production capacity and prioritisation of sustainable practices with innovative technologies. With a production capacity of 225,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and a gas processing capacity of 10 million cubic meters per day (Sm3/d), these FPSOs will incorporate advanced technologies such as zero routine flaring and venting, variable speed drives, and measures to control emissions and capture CO2.
Construction for the P-84 and P-85 FPSOs will commence in the first quarter of 2025, with the final delivery expected in 2029.
