Partnership Between Petrobras and SBM Offshore Should Become a Reference for Other Companies Aiming to Operate Allied to Sustainability.

SBM Offshore announced, last Monday (17), an important collaboration with Petrobras for the development of Carbon Capture Modules on FPSO platforms (Floating Production Storage and Offloading). The partnership aims to implement innovative technologies that can significantly contribute to the sustainability of the oil and gas sector, aligning with the decarbonization goals of the EmissionZERO program.

Innovation and Sustainability Side by Side

This study, focused on the application of solutions for the reduction of CO₂ emissions, will be based on a successful engineering project developed by SBM Offshore along with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI).

The carbon capture system will be adapted for Petrobras’ FPSOs, considering different turbine configurations, gas flow rates, and CO₂ concentrations.

Advances in FPSO Design for Emission Reduction

The study signed by SBM Offshore and Petrobras will involve the commercial evaluation and design of carbon capture systems for future FPSO units to be deployed in Petrobras fields.

Among the parameters to be analyzed are: the type of turbines and their configurations, the installed capacity of gas turbines, and the concentration of CO2 in the production gas. These factors will allow for optimizing the project’s efficiency and economic viability.

Olivier Icyk, Business Director at SBM Offshore, highlighted the importance of the study, stating:

“The signing of this study demonstrates Petrobras’ confidence in SBM Offshore as a pioneer in ocean infrastructure. We continue to work on decarbonization solutions in the design of our products and in our offshore operations. Through this study, we will be able to advance the design of the carbon capture module together with our partner MHI for the reduction of CO2 in future FPSOs.”

History of SBM Offshore in Brazil

SBM Offshore has a long history in Brazil, establishing itself as one of the main providers of solutions for the offshore market.

Present in the country since 1977, the company has excelled in the construction and operation of FPSO units, essential for the production of oil and gas in the Brazilian pre-salt.

SBM Offshore has been a strategic partner of major players in the sector, such as Petrobras, participating in important projects in the development of technology and infrastructure for the oil and gas industry.

Over the years, SBM Offshore has invested in innovation and sustainability, aligning its operations with environmental challenges and contributing to Brazil’s economic growth.

Uma BOBAGEM essa estória de crédito de carbono. Não tem com mensurar nada. Alguém está ganhando uma grana com certificação que na prática não quer dizer nada. As certificadoras estão mandando.

History of SBM Offshore in Brazil

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

An Indonesian fisherman pulls a mysterious object from the sea and discovers that it is a Chinese underwater monitoring system, part of the so-called Underwater Great Wall that Beijing uses to track submarines and unmanned vehicles in strategic straits of the region.

The end of Nokia: the brand that was the cellphone of an entire generation has ended its smartphones, left Brazil, and today survives only in basic phones in India while seeking a new partner.

While banks see the risk of default and difficulty in recovering financed motorcycles, the Lula government is considering using a guarantee fund to unlock credit for delivery workers; the measure could reach up to 1.2 million workers linked to digital platforms.

A study proposes transforming the Moon into a kind of quarantine center for samples brought from Mars and other worlds, creating a sterile and isolated barrier that would filter any unknown organisms before the material reaches Earth and its ecosystems.

A street cleaner who earns R$ 2,100 per month put her cell phone aside for a few minutes and returned to find a Pix transfer of R$ 203,000 mistakenly deposited into her account, an amount that, according to her, she wouldn’t be able to save even if she worked for a hundred years.

Pharmacy giant is fined R$ 10 million by the Maranhão Court for requiring CPF to grant discounts, pressuring consumers at the checkout, and raising a national alert about the collection of personal data in pharmaceutical retail.

Wax notebook falls into latrine 800 years ago, survives intact in Germany and reveals Latin notes that may expose the routine of a high-status medieval merchant.
