Baker Hughes And Modec Collaborate On Gas Combined Cycle Project For Carbon Reduction In New FPSO

Baker Hughes, a global leader in energy technology and equipment for the oil and gas industry, announced today a significant contract in the Brazilian market. In partnership with Japan’s Modec, Baker Hughes will supply gas technology equipment for the floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) to be installed in block BM-C-33, located in the pre-salt of the Campos Basin.

Baker Hughes emphasizes that combined cycles are an important trend in the offshore oil and gas industry, enabling a reduction of global carbon emissions from FPSOs. In this project, Baker Hughes aims to achieve a reduction of over 20% in carbon emissions compared to similar open cycle FPSOs with the same energy demand. This is the second combined cycle power generation FPSO project developed by Baker Hughes in Brazilian deep waters, following the 2020 agreement aimed at the Bacalhau FPSO.

Sustainability Goals And Strategic Partnerships In The Gas Project

In the BM-C-33 project, Equinor and its partners aim to achieve a goal of carbon intensity below 6 kg per barrel of oil equivalent throughout the field’s lifetime, compared to the industry global average of 16 kg of CO2 per barrel. Equinor, in partnership with Repsol Sinopec Brasil and Petrobras, is the operator of block BM-C-33. Modec is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, and installation services of the FPSO.

New Gas Technology Equipment And Carbon Emission Reduction

Baker Hughes and Modec have signed a contract to provide gas technology equipment for the BM-C-33 FPSO in the Brazilian pre-salt. This project, based on the combined cycle, is an example of the oil and gas industry’s pursuit of more sustainable solutions to reduce carbon emissions. The strategic partnership between the companies strengthens their collaboration and highlights the commitment to achieving sustainability goals. With production expected to begin in 2028, the BM-C-33 FPSO is anticipated to contribute to emission reductions and drive the transition to cleaner energy in the offshore sector.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

While Brazil has left the Transnordestina Railway stalled for 16 years, China is boring 89 meters under the Yangtze River with the world’s largest diameter railway tunnel boring machine to open 14 km of high-speed line.
