Engineering,
Procurement and Construction (EPC) contract scope includes supply of an
external, bow mounted, cantilever turret mooring system with swivel
stack
Libra is one of Brazil's biggest oil fields to date
(BUSINESS
WIRE) London Marine Consultants (LMC), a wholly owned subsidiary of
Ezra Holdings Limited (“Ezra” or “the Group”), a leading contractor and
provider of Floating Production, Storage and Offloading (FPSO) Turret
Designs to the oil and gas industry, today announced that they have been
awarded a contract by Sembcorp Marine’s subsidiary Jurong Shipyard of
Singapore, to supply an external turret mooring system for the Libra
field’s Extended Well Test (EWT) FPSO vessel.
The Libra oil field is a
large, ultra-deepwater (up to 2,500 metres) oil prospect located in the
Santos Basin, about 230 kilometres off the coast of Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil, north of Tupi field. The oil field estimated to contain
recoverable resources ranging between eight billion to 12 billion
barrels of oil and is one of the largest deepwater oil accumulations
globally.
OOGTK Libra GmbH & Co KG, a joint venture between
Brazil’s Odebrecht Oil & Gas and Teekay Offshore, awarded a contract
to Jurong Shipyard for conversion of the Navion Norvegia shuttle tanker
to form the Libra EWT FPSO. This joint venture company will own and
operate the FPSO, chartering it to Petrobras for twelve years, excluding
options.
LMC’s scope of supply includes engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) of the complete external turret. LMC will also
design the mooring lines, analyse the risers and provide engineering
support for integration of the turret and swivel stack onto the FPSO at
Jurong Shipyard.
“With a twenty year history as a proven supplier of
advanced turret mooring systems, this project is a great opportunity for
LMC to strengthen its position and move into the challenging deep water
market of Brazil,” commented Tim Wood, Managing Director of London
Marine Consultants. “We are very excited about this opportunity to work
with Jurong Shipyard, One Subsea, OOGTK and Petrobras on this very
important project.”
Engineering and project management are currently
underway in the Group’s London office, with turret fabrication planned
at TRIYARDS in Vietnam, another subsidiary of Ezra Holdings. Under a
sub-contract from LMC, OneSubsea will manufacture an advanced swivel
stack in Norway, with six swivels, including two high pressure (550 bar)
gas injection swivels, in time for integration of the complete turret
onto the FPSO in 1Q2016.
