Partnership Between Keppel Offshore And SBM Has Happened Before

FPSO is an acronym for “floating production, storage and offloading” and refers to the type of delivery that Keppel Offshore intends to carry out.

The demand, made by SBM Offshore, marks another partnership between both companies.

So far, this is the third FPSO that the Singaporean brand has developed and this time, it made a point of treating the project as “mega,” emphasizing the effort put in by the team.

Overall, the duo has been together on more than 25 projects to date.

According to the schedule, the completion of the stage should happen by the first quarter of 2023, by March.

This means that the Keppel Offshore team should already be working on the final touches to ensure everything is delivered on time.

In this context, the FPSO has even received a name, being called Prosperity.

The title was chosen by Arya Ali, the First Lady of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana. She was the guest of honor during a ceremony held this Wednesday, the 1st.

Oil Production And Storage On The FPSO Prosperity Should Be High And Aims To Contribute To The Valuation Of Technology In The Area, According To Planning Stages

Regarding the quantitative data of the project, it is expected that the FPSO Prosperity will be capable of producing around 220,000 barrels of oil per day, in addition to its gas treatment capacity, which should be able to handle a demand of 400 million cubic feet per day.

In terms of storage, according to the proposed project, the amount of crude oil barrels can reach 2 million, a considerable number for the company.

This is yet another milestone achieved by SBM and the result of a long-standing partnership.

When discussing the trust relationship established between both brands, Chris Ong, CEO of Keppel Offshore & Marine, said: “We are pleased to support SBM Offshore and ExxonMobil in contributing to Guyana’s oil and gas industry with a third FPSO for deployment in the Stabroek Block. The Prosperity FPSO reinforces Keppel Offshore & Marine’s position as a world leader in FPSO integration and expands our track record of over 130 FPSO projects. It also marks our 27th major project for SBM Offshore, based on the strong partnership we have established over decades of collaboration.”

The FPSO Prosperity from SBM Offshore, developed by Keppel Offshore & Marine, will be operated for up to two years in the Stabroek Block and, after that, the floating vessel will be transferred to ExxonMobil. Born in Singapore, the project is ambitious and meets the adjective used by the company to describe it: mega, something large and with potential. The official delivery is expected to occur by March 2023.
