Yinson Officially Named The FPSO Vessel Maria Quitéria, Marking A Milestone In The Development Of The Project In Collaboration With Petrobras. The Vessel Will Have A Production Capacity Of 100 Thousand Barrels Of Oil Per Day And Will Be The First Of The Company To Operate With Heat Recovery Steam Generation.

As reported by PetroNotícias last Friday (04/05), Yinson, an offshore energy service company, marked the beginning of April with a highlight event at the Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry Shipyard in Shanghai, where it officially named the FPSO vessel Maria Quitéria. This naming represents a milestone in the development of the FPSO Maria Quitéria project, an initiative planned by Petrobras in November 2021 in collaboration with Yinson Production.

The FPSO Maria Quitéria is scheduled to be installed in the Jubarte field, located in the Campos Basin, Brazil.

Naming Of The FPSO Vessel Maria Quitéria: A Marking Event At The Shanghai Shipyard

With plans to start its journey to Brazil still in the first quarter of 2024, the expectation is that production in the Jubarte field will begin in 2025.

This FPSO conversion project was designed to have a production capacity of 100 thousand barrels of oil per day, with a storage capacity of up to 1 million barrels.

This initiative marks Yinson’s third collaboration with Petrobras for the development of FPSOs intended for Brazil.

Strategic Partnership With Petrobras

The FPSO Maria Quitéria also brings an innovation: it will be the first FPSO vessel of Yinson to operate with heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) as an integral part of its power generation system.

This technology aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the industry, aligning with global efforts towards the goal of net zero carbon emissions.

Flemming Gronnegaard, CEO of Yinson Production, and Tiago Pace Estefen, Contracts Manager at Petrobras, celebrate the partnership between the companies in incorporating technologies for reducing gases while increasing production efficiency.

The FPSO Maria Quitéria’s main demand is to meet the energy needs of the region, and the adoption of practices that increasingly reduce environmental impacts in the energy sector becomes important.
