MODEC, a supplier and operator of offshore systems for the global energy industry, has commissioned Everllence to supply five compressor trains for its new floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel for the Gato do Mato – Orca Project offshore Brazil.
The FPSO will be moored in the pre-salt area of the Santos Basin, approximately 125 miles (200 km) south of Rio de Janeiro, at a water depth of around 6561 feet (2000 m). Once in operation, the vessel will have a production capacity of 120,000 barrels of oil and 360 MMcf/d (10.1 x 106 m3/d) of gas.
The FPSO Gato do Mato – Orca Project is being developed through a partnership among Shell (50%), as operator, Ecopetrol (30%), and TotalEnergies (20%), with Brazilian state-owned Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA) participating as production sharing contract manager.
Everllence will supply five barrel-type RB compressor trains for two process duties: flash-gas compression and high-pressure gas injection. The flash-gas compression units will be electrically driven, while the gas injection trains will be powered by gas turbines from Solar Turbines. Everllence and Solar Turbines will work in close coordination across engineering, delivery and lifecycle support.
Everllence PrimeServ in Brazil will provide local service capabilities to support commissioning, operation, and long-term maintenance of the compression systems, ensuring proximity to the vessel and fast response times throughout its operating life.
