FPSO Cidade de Santos MV20
The FPSO, named FPSO Cidade de Santos MV20, will be deployed in the Urugua field and will also gather production from the Tambau field. Both fields are in the Santos Basin and are being developed together.
The fields are expected to include 12 wells that will begin operation in January, 2010. The natural gas processed in the FPSO Cidade de Santos MV20 will be delivered through an 18 inch gas pipeline to the Mexilhão field 170 kilometers from Urugua.
The plan is to convert the VLCC FSO Bateau. The FPSO will be capable of processing 350 million cubic feet per day of gas, 35,000 barrels of oil per day, and having a storage capacity of approximately 700,000 barrels.
This is the fifth vessel MODEC will provide and operate in Brazil. It is the first FPSO that will process more gas than oil.
The FPSO is planned to arrive in Brazil in the 4th quarter, 2009 and will be installed in 1,300 meters water depth approximately 160 kilometers from Rio de Janeiro city. The contract is a 12 year lease with three one-year options.
