The FPSO’s operation is part of the Marlim cluster revitalization project. The field is operated by Petrobras and is situated in the Campos Basin, in the northern region of the Rio de Janeiro State, 150 km off the coast. The oil wells are at a water depth approximately 670 m.

MODEC was responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, mobilization chartering and operations of the FPSO, including topsides processing equipment as well as hull and marine systems. SOFEC, Inc., a MODEC group company, designed and supplied the spread mooring system for the floating unit.

The FPSO is capable of processing 80,000 barrels of crude oil per day, 248 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, 390,000 barrels of water injection per day and will have minimum storage capacity of 1,000,000 barrels of crude oil and achieved the first oil in August 2023.

This is the 16th FPSO/FSO vessel which MODEC has delivered to the Brazilian oil and gas sector, as well as MODEC’s 6th vessel in the Campos Basin since the company started to operate in the region in 2003.
