It signed an agreement with Actemium for the provision of offshore maintenance services from the engineering company on the platform docked in the Campos Basin.
The contract with the company provides for the supply of the following offshore maintenance services: contract management, offshore installation services for structures (plates, profiles, and floor grids), offshore installation services for piping, and provision of equipment.
Additionally, the package will include services for opening and closing mechanical equipment (vessels, filters, tanks, heat exchangers, etc.), surface preparation and painting, electrical and instrumentation services.
Finally, Actemium will provide the PRIO’s FPSO P-50 platform with onshore manufacturing activities for metallic structures and piping.
The company has been increasingly investing in the quality of its offshore maintenance services in the national upstream market.
Thus, it is ensuring better integrity of the assets of several oil companies throughout the country, such as PRIO.
The contract for operations in the Campos Basin marks another step taken by Actemium in the national oil and gas market, after winning the last three editions of the “Petrobras Best Suppliers Award” as the best supplier of offshore maintenance services.
Oil Workers Report Environmental Risks and Request Interdiction of PRIO’s FPSO P-50 Platform in the Campos Basin
Alongside the optimistic news of the contract with Actemium for offshore maintenance services to ensure the integrity of the FPSO P-50 platform, PRIO needs to deal with criticism on the national stage.
The North Fluminense Oil Workers’ Union (Sindipetro-NF) sent a letter to federal, state, and municipal public administration bodies and entities on Tuesday.
The organization requests the immediate interdiction of the platform in the Campos Basin due to the environmental risks caused by the P-50.
The oil workers emphasize that PRIO’s platform is currently in a state of degradation due to a lack of maintenance, thereby causing significant impacts on the environment in the region.
“The turbo-generators present problems in the water heating system, directly interfering with the mechanism of separation and classification of oil and produced and discarded water,” the document highlights.
According to Sindipetro-NF, the degraded state of the platform poses risks to the crew during its operation.
Now, with the signing of PRIO’s agreement for Actemium’s offshore maintenance services, the company expects to keep the FPSO’s operation ongoing.
