GE Closed Contract for the Supply of Motors for the Four Water Injection Pumps That Will Equip Modec’s FPSO

GE Power, an American energy technology company, has signed a contract with industrial engineering company Sulzer Pumps UK to supply motors for the four water injection pumps that will be used for the future FPSOs of Modec, a Japanese company that provides services to the oil and natural gas industry, which will operate in Brazil. Four platforms operated by Trident Energy were interdicted by ANP in the Campos Basin

Philippe Piron, president and CEO of GE Power Conversion, says, “We are very pleased to have the opportunity to work with Sulzer & MODEC on this important FPSO project in Brazil.”

Ed Torres, Leader of the Oil and Gas Segment at GE Power Conversion, said, “Our company has a long international history and experience in the design, manufacturing, testing, and commissioning of reliable and efficient motors for FPSO applications. By implementing our technology and experience in low starting current and high power density, we are able to meet the increasingly stringent design requirements that are demanded by these projects.”

Oil Multinational Modec Will Generate 600 Jobs in Brazil to Complete Works on FPSOs Under Construction

Good news for shipbuilding in Brazil, multinational Modec estimates that by 2024 it will generate 600 new jobs for onshore and offshore areas in the country, a 25% expansion of its workforce.

Currently, the oil multinational operates 10 FPSOs in Brazil and is constructing five more platforms for the Brazilian offshore market.

On its way to Brazil, the FPSO Carioca MV30 will be the first unit to begin operations; the platform ship will produce in the Sépia field, an area of the onerous assignment in the Santos Basin operated by Petrobras.
