Floating Production – A Growing Segment in Transition
will be FPSOs, close to 20% FLNGs and floating production units without storage (semi-subs, TLPs and spars) over 10%.Source: IntelatusWe forecast that more than two thirds of new floating production units installed between 2024 and 2030 will be located in South and Central American countries, of which Brazil and Guyana will account for around 90% of the share of units. FPSO technology dominates the region’s FPS demand.In all, 18 countries in West and East Africa are expected to receive new FPSOs, FLNGs and FPUs between 2024 and 2030. Africa is forecast to be home to the largest number of FLNGs

Enauta Set to Receive Key Equipment for Atlanta Field Offshore Brazil
The first multiphase pumping subsea system (MPP), that will support oil and gas production at the Atlanta field in Brazil's Santos Basin, has been shipped from Norway, Brazilian oil and gas company Enauta has informed.The MPP, manufactured by OneSubsea, was loaded on January 21, 2024, in Norway ahead of shipping for Brazil.The delivery of the equipment according to the schedule highlighted one of the key challenges to reach FPSO Atlanta’s first oil aimed by August 2024, according to Enauta, which is the operator of the Atlanta field.“According to data presented at the Enauta Day
CRP Subsea Put to Work at Brazilian Oil Field
CRP Subsea, an AIS company, has secured a ‘substantial contract’ for the supply of distributed buoyancy modules (DBMs) to a deepwater oil field project in the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil.CRP Subsea secured was hired by a leading energy technology company, whose name was not disclosed.The company DBMs will be utilised on a flexible production riser transporting oil from the subsea facility to the floating, production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel above.Specifically engineered, the DBMs will establish a dynamic subsea lazy-wave configuration to mitigate the top tension on the FPSO.
Libra Consortium Reaches FID for Mero Field’s Innovative Subsea Tech
Libra Consortium has taken the final investment decision (FID) to develop an innovative natural gas and CO2 separation and reinjection facility for the Mero 3 project in the Brazilian deep offshore pre-salt.The pilot unit, using a pioneer high pressure subsea separation technology (HISEP), will separate oil from CO2-rich gas at the bottom of the ocean and reinject the gas directly into the reservoir.This technology has the potential to reduce the amount of gas sent to the topside FPSO, thus enabling to reduce the GHG emissions intensity while increasing the field production capacity.Petrobras, operator
