The Navy Found the Two Power Generation Modules of Petrobras’ FPSO P-71 That Sank Near the Municipality of Itajaí, Santa Catarina.

The modules found by the Navy refer to the atypical event that occurred on the night of May 18, when the Locar V non-propelled barge that was transporting two power generation modules (M-15 and M-16) of FPSO P-71 headed to Jurong Shipyard in Aracruz (ES) partially sank, when it was about 120 km off the coast of Itajaí – SC.

According to Petrobras, all efforts are being made to ensure that there is no delay in the planned operational startup date of the P-71 platform, nor revenue loss for the consortium.

According to the Petrobras Business Plan 2019-2023 published at the end of last year, P71, due to construction delays, is not part of the company’s business horizon.

The good news is that Siemens, the manufacturer of the generating turbines, has two identical pieces of equipment available for immediate delivery in the Netherlands to provide the Brazilian oil company, which would reduce any potential delays in the planned operational startup date of the platform.

Siemens holds generators in the Netherlands that would be used in canceled projects for replicant FPSOs. And there is interest from the German group in offering the equipment to Petrobras. “Fortunately, Siemens has equipment available for immediate application, potentially eliminating all costs involved with the platform’s operational delay,” says Christian Schöck, CEO of Oil and Gas at the company.

The FPSO P71 is part of a set of hulls known as replicants and was initially built at the Rio Grande Shipyard in Rio Grande do Sul, but Petrobras canceled the contracts following corruption allegations from the Lava Jato operation.

Today, P71 is being rebuilt in China, and the plan is for it to come to Jurong in 2020 for the integration of the modules with the hull.
