Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M)s wholly owned subsidiary, Keppel Shipyard, has secured a contract, on the basis of an international tender, from Brazils National Oil Company, Petroleo Brasileiro S.A (Petrobras), for the turnkey delivery of P-78, a Floating Production, Storage and Offloading vessel (FPSO).
Scheduled for completion in late 2024, the FPSO will be customised for deployment in Brazils prolific Buzios field, described as the largest deepwater oil field in the world. With a production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd), 7.2 million cubic metres of (mcbm) gas per day and a storage capacity of 2 million barrels of oil, the P-78 will rank among the largest in the global operating fleet of FPSOs.
Keppel O&M is carrying out the project at multiple locations.
Petrobras (NYSE: PBR) has awarded Keppel Shipyard a US$2.3 billion contract to build the P-78 floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel, parent company Keppel Offshore & Marine (Keppel O&M) (SGX: BN4) reported Monday.
“We are pleased to support Petrobras with another major FPSO where we are taking on a much larger scope than ever before,” remarked Chris Ong, Keppel O&M’s CEO, in a written statement emailed to Rigzone. “This project taps our well-recognized capabilities as a leading integrator of offshore energy and infrastructure assets, leveraging our strengths in engineering and project management, with a focus on higher value-adding work.”

According to Petrobras’ statement on Monday, with a processing capacity of 180 thousand barrels of oil per day and 7.2 million cubic meters of gas per day, the platform is of the FPSO type, a floating unit that produces, stores, and transfers oil. It is scheduled for delivery in 2024.
In a separate statement on Monday, Keppel said the value of the contract is estimated to be around $2.3 billion.
As detailed by Petrobras, the supply of the FPSO will result from the engineering, procurement and construction contracting modality and from Petrobras’ strategy of developing new projects for its own platforms, incorporating the lessons learned from the FPSOs already installed in the pre-salt, including contracting and construction aspects.
