A 50:50 consortium between Technip and Techint chose Aqualis Offshore as marine warranty surveyor for all marine operations related to the integration of the P-76 FPSO unit at Techint’s yard in the south of Brazil, according to a March 4 statement. Aqualis Offshore’s work scope runs until September 2016.
The P-76 FPSO unit is currently undergoing conversion from a very large crude carrier tanker. Once completed it will be installed at the Franco Sul Field located in the Santos Basin pre-salt area offshore Brazil. The FPSO is expected to produce 180,000 barrels of oil and 7 million cubic meters of gas per day.
Aqualis Offshore’s office in Rio de Janeiro will manage the contract and all associated work. The contract value was not disclosed.
Aqualis Offshore is a specialized marine and offshore engineering consultancy focusing on the shallow and deep-water segments of the offshore oil, gas and wind industries.
