It is worth noting that Petrobras announced on October 16, 2019, with Modec and Yinson the construction of FPSOs for Marlim, in the Campos Basin, which are expected to commence operations in 2022-2023.
“Contracts like these for the design and delivery of complex process modules worldwide are essential to Aragon’s strategy in FPSO, FLNG, and FSRU projects.”
Aragon did not provide the financial details of the contract with Yinson.
The FPSO is being converted from the VLCC ship “Falcon” in China. According to WorldEnergyReports.com, the conversion work for the FPSO is being carried out at the Cosco Nantong shipyard, while the integration work for the topsides modules will be conducted by Keppel.
According to Petrobras, the FPSO Anna Nery will be installed about 150 kilometers off the Brazilian coast, in water depth of 930 meters. It will have the capacity to process up to 70,000 bpd of oil and 4 million cbm of natural gas.
The FPSO is expected to achieve first oil by the first quarter of 2023, where it will remain for 25 years under a contract of US $ 5.4 billion. This will be Yinson’s first vessel to operate in Brazilian waters. It will have a storage capacity of 1.6 million barrels. It is owned by Yinson (75%) and Sumitomo (25%)
