Yinson Officially Named The FPSO Vessel Maria Quitéria, Marking A Milestone In The Development Of The Project In Collaboration With Petrobras. The Vessel Will Have A Production Capacity Of 100 Thousand Barrels Of Oil Per Day And Will Be The First Of The Company To Operate With Heat Recovery Steam Generation.

As reported by PetroNotícias last Friday (04/05), Yinson, an offshore energy service company, marked the beginning of April with a highlight event at the Cosco Shipping Heavy Industry Shipyard in Shanghai, where it officially named the FPSO vessel Maria Quitéria. This naming represents a milestone in the development of the FPSO Maria Quitéria project, an initiative planned by Petrobras in November 2021 in collaboration with Yinson Production.

The FPSO Maria Quitéria is scheduled to be installed in the Jubarte field, located in the Campos Basin, Brazil.

Strategic Partnership With Petrobras

The FPSO Maria Quitéria also brings an innovation: it will be the first FPSO vessel of Yinson to operate with heat recovery steam generation (HRSG) as an integral part of its power generation system.

This technology aims to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the industry, aligning with global efforts towards the goal of net zero carbon emissions.

Flemming Gronnegaard, CEO of Yinson Production, and Tiago Pace Estefen, Contracts Manager at Petrobras, celebrate the partnership between the companies in incorporating technologies for reducing gases while increasing production efficiency.

The FPSO Maria Quitéria’s main demand is to meet the energy needs of the region, and the adoption of practices that increasingly reduce environmental impacts in the energy sector becomes important.

About Petrobras

While a traditional school may take several days just to raise walls, in Malawi a 3D-printed school had its structure ready in 18 hours, welcomed children in June, and showed a new solution to the lack of classrooms.

With a diameter of 15.08 meters, a length of 182 meters, and weighing 3900 tons, the world’s largest tunnel boring machine for drilling super hard rock made a 9 km tunnel in Georgia and impresses with its excavation power.

Material once seen as a poor man’s choice returns as a climate bet, with red clay replacing part of the gray concrete in modern buildings, hospitals, houses, and a cultural center that transforms tradition into a solution against urban heat.

Study solves great ancient mystery: remains of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, are identified in Vergina and resolves the enigma of the Macedonian royal tombs that had lasted half a century.

Larger than the Toyota Hilux and with a towing capacity of 3.5 tons, the new MG U9 2026 features a 2.5 turbodiesel engine, 520 Nm, 4×4 traction with three locks, and an almost full-size build.

‘Traffic sign with circle’ and arrow to the left intrigues drivers and pedestrians in risk areas, parking lots, and construction sites; little-known signage has a mandatory rule that can prevent accidents and organize flow in busy locations.

The James Webb telescope aimed at a giant planet 330 light-years from Earth and measured, for the first time, a surprisingly mild temperature, more similar to ours than to the furnace of other planets of the type.

With only 7% of the planet’s agricultural land, China feeds nearly one-fifth of humanity and still accumulates the largest grain reserve in the world, with about 69% of the corn, 60% of the rice, and 51% of the wheat stored in strategic silos.

Xiaomi launches a 12 kg washing machine for around R$ 808 in direct conversion with a top-loading “Brazilian style,” silent motor, 99.99% bacteria removal, and integration with HyperOS; the Chinese giant enters a market dominated by traditional brands.

Road that heats buildings and helps cool cities gains momentum with Power Road®, a solution by Eurovia that uses pipes under the asphalt to capture solar heat, store energy for months, and supply pools, apartments, industries, and service areas with lower carbon emissions.
