Contracts Aim to Support Modec’s FPSOs in the Supply of Equipment to Vessels Chartered by Petrobras in the Pre-salt

Another major partnership has been finalized at the beginning of this year, as Schlumberger published in its most recent financial report, on Thursday (4/18), the signing of two contracts with the Japanese company Modec.
The contracts are for the supply of oil separation and treatment equipment and CO2 processing for use in FPSOs that Modec will maintain under contract with Petrobras.

Modec is currently building two FPSOs for Petrobras, the FPSO Guanabara, which will operate in the Mero 1 field in the Libra area, and the FPSO Carioca, which will operate in Sépia, in the onerous assignment, both in the Pre-salt of the Santos Basin.
The outlook is even better for Modec, as the company is still competing in Petrobras’ tenders to build the FPSO of Búzios V and is participating in the tender for two more FPSOs for the Marlim field.

Schlumberger’s Perspective

The company has an expectation of growth in investments in Exploration and Production (E&P) of around 7% to 8% in 2019, largely due to the increasing number of rigs operating in the Brazilian offshore and the projects that are yet to come.

Schlumberger’s optimism is due not only to the increase in demand for offshore equipment but also to the production cuts that OPEC and Russia have been making and the slowdown in shale production in North America.

Despite registering a 4% decline this quarter compared to the last quarter of 2018, the company saw a 1% increase in the annual comparison, recording revenue of US$ 7.9 billion.
In total, the company’s profit fell 21% compared to the last quarter of last year and 19% compared to the same period in 2018, but nonetheless, profit was US$ 421 million in the first three months of the year.

Following the same trend of contract signings with Petrobras, BW Offshore signed a contract with Petrobras for a one-year extension for the leasing and operation of the BW Cidade de São Vicente. Click here to learn more!

Schlumberger’s Perspective

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.

How much would a Toyota Hilux cost without tax in Brazil? A diesel pickup truck priced at R$ 250,000 could drop to around R$ 127,000, showing why pickup trucks have become a luxury product in the country.

Windows without a prison-like appearance gain momentum in 2026 and promise to completely transform residential facades with more natural lighting, discreet security, increased property value, and a modern look without the burden of the old iron bars that dominated Brazilian homes for decades.

The largest precious metals mine under construction in the world is situated on a layer of ore 25 times thicker than common mines in South Africa, and has just connected a third shaft that will quintuple the extraction of platinum, palladium, and gold.

Neither human nor dinosaur: ancestral skeleton nearly 1,000 years old found on eroded road in Australia intrigues archaeologists by the way it was buried
