Oil and Gas

In cooperation with partners in Singapore we have supplied special electric motors for FPSO's and FSRU's such as Espirito Santo and Golar Sirit for the drive of compressors and winches.

Espirito Santo

The FPSO 'Espirito Santo' is part of the BC-10 deepwater development and is chartered by the BC-10 joint venture, which is operated by Shell with ONGC and Petrobras as co-venturers, from SBM Offshore in joint venture with MISC. The FPSO is designed to produce 100,000 b/d of oil and treat up to 45 MMcf/d of natural gas for injection or export. The vessel will be the deepest FPSO in the SBM fleet, and the first turret mounted FPSO in the world using steel caternary risers for fluid transfer.

Golar Spirit

The 'Golar Spirit' is a floating storage and regasification vessel (FSRU). It is the world's first FSRU conversion project which was awarded to Golar by Petrobras in April 2007. The FSRU gives Petrobras the ability to receive LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) from standard LNG Carriers and provide natural gas ashore for domestic consumption. The successfully completed commissioning and performance test runs form part of the delivery protocol for the vessel. The vessel will now be placed in FSRU service and will continue to operate at the direction of Petrobras. Following the initial performance tests, DNV issued a Statement of Approval of the Regasification Plant and Interim Class Certificate confirming the REGAS-2 Class notation.

The FSRU will receive LNG from offloading LNG carriers, and the onboard regasification system will provide gas send-out through flexible risers and pipeline to shore. The proposed LNG terminal is a steel mono hull with Moss LNG tanks arranged in the middle, with the re-gasification plant in the forward section and crew facilities with control room and utility machinery in the aft section. The LNG offloading tankers will be moored in a side-by-side configuration with the FSRU for efficient replenishment of the terminal.
