Wood has entered an agreement with Brazilian national oil company Petrobras to deliver concept studies with designs and recommendations aimed at optimising performance and reducing #emissions to support a future Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vision for the next decade.
The first study will explore design concepts of FPSO units with lower human exposure to risk and increased operational #reliability, as this is an industry trend. The plan is to evaluate this concept for the entire unit and its practical application in one of the plant modules.
The second study will explore design concepts to convert the current Petrobras Reference Design into an FPSO without main #electricity generation on the unit. Electrified by an external power source, #offshore #powergeneration hubs or integrated with the onshore system, this design will eliminate the biggest source of emissions onboard the traditional design.
This project will be executed out of Wood’s Houston office, with local support in Rio de Janeiro, and will leverage the company’s marine systems and hull offshore expertise in Sandefjord, Norway. Wood will work collaboratively with engineers, scientists and researchers from Petrobras, many of whom are based at the Rio de Janeiro headquarters.
This headquarters location houses the #engineering department for Surface Systems, responsible for all FPSO Conceptual and #FEED designs. Additionally, it serves as the home of the Petrobras Cenpes Research Center, the largest #oil #research hub in the southern hemisphere.
