Currently, MODEC Operates 11 Units in Brazil and Has Three (3) More Under Construction for the Country, Namely, the FPSO Almirante Barroso MV32, the FPSO Anita Garibaldi MV33, and an FPSO for Equinor’s Bacalhau Project.

MODEC announced today (06/05) that the FPSO Guanabara MV31, deployed for operations in the Mero field, in the massive “pre-salt” region of the Santos Basin, off the coast of Brazil, has achieved First Oil Production and started charter services on May 1, 2022. It is the largest FPSO built by the company to date.

Moored about 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, at a water depth of approximately 2,100 meters, the FPSO is capable of processing 180,000 barrels of crude oil, 424 million standard cubic feet of gas, and 225,000 barrels of water injection per day, and has a storage capacity of 1,400,000 barrels of crude oil.

The FPSO is leased under a 22-year charter contract to the Brazilian oil giant Petrobras. MODEC was responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, and mobilization of the FPSO, including topside processing equipment, as well as hull and marine systems. SOFEC, Inc., a company of the MODEC group, designed and provided the FPSO’s spread mooring system.

FPSO Guanabara Is the 14th FPSO Vessel That the Japanese Company Delivers to Petrobras

This is the 14th FPSO vessel that MODEC has delivered to the Brazilian oil and gas sector, as well as the 7th FPSO from MODEC in the “pre-salt” region. The FPSO Guanabara MV31 was designed to reinject 100% of the processed gas back into the oil well.

Currently, MODEC operates 11 units in Brazil and has another three (3) under construction for the country, namely, the FPSO Almirante Barroso MV32, the FPSO Anita Garibaldi MV33, and an FPSO for Equinor’s Bacalhau project.

“MODEC is proud to have the opportunity to play a role in Brazil’s growing oil production market and to support our long-time partner’s mission to accelerate oil and gas extraction in the pre-salt polygon,” said Soichi Ide, President and CEO of MODEC Offshore Production Systems (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. (“MODEC Singapore”). “Being our 7th FPSO in the pre-salt, we fully understand the intricacies of deepwater development and the technical challenges of pre-salt production, and we have adapted our vessels to overcome these challenges.”

The vessel is the third operated by MODEC to begin production in recent months. In August 2021, the company started operating the FPSO Carioca MV30 in the Sépia field, also in the “pre-salt” region of the Santos Basin, and in February 2022, commenced production of the FPSO MIAMTE MV34 in the Gulf of Mexico.
