I Am Eagerly Awaiting the Queiroz Galvão Oil and Gas Group, the FPSO Petrojarl I Has Just Been Assembled and Is Already on Its Way to Brazil

[supsystic-social-sharing id=’1′]After nearly 28 years of activities in the turbulent North Sea, the FPSO Petrojarl I under Teekay’s jurisdiction is now in the final phase of implementation and will arrive in Brazil in the 1st quarter of 2018 to operate in the Atlanta Field, in the pre-salt of the Santos Basin. This same unit will provide services to Queiroz Galvão Oil and Gas.

The Engineering Work

With hard engineering work, half of the equipment from this unit has been removed and replaced with brand new, high-tech, state-of-the-art machinery, tailored for the treatment of heavy crude oil that the Atlanta Field requires.

Mark Witjens, who is the director of Damen Verolme, a company that is also part of the acquisition of this project, stated that he is very pleased with the success of this venture and that the execution of the FPSO works has opened precedents for new repair and conversion projects for other units that are much more complex than the Petrojarl I in the future. It is worth noting that it was built in Rotterdam, in the very port of the same name.

It took about 14 months in the dock of the port, with its aquatic systems being remodeled, marine case, water treatment set, boiler spaces at the lower and upper parts of the towers. In other words, it was a massive adaptation to make the unit completely functional and operable.

At the same time, high-standard prefabrication was added, with heating, cooling, separation, compression systems, boilers, centrifuges, and a new electronic house with electrical equipment. All pipe joints were secured afterward to complete the upper parts of the installed connections.

One thing is certain, when QGOG and the Petrojarl I begin to operate effectively, there will be massive job opportunities in the Santos Basin in this field. Will you be ready?
