Deltamarin designs the Libra FPSO
TURKU, Finland -- Deltamarin announced that it has entered into a contract with Jurong Shipyard for the basic engineering of the Libra FPSO. Deltamarin’s scope of work covers the marine part of the Navion Norvegia shuttle tanker conversion into the Libra FPSO.
The conversion shall be performed at the Singaporean Jurong Shipyard, whose customer is OOGTK Libra GmbH & Co KG, a 50/50 JV between Odebrecht Oil & Gas and Teekay Offshore. The JV company works as the lead commercial bidder for the Brazilian energy company Petrobras on the Libra project. The vessel is expected to be owned and operated by OOGTK and chartered to Petrobras. It will be serving the Libra pre-salt field in the ultra-deepwater section of Brazil’s Santos basin as an early well-testing unit.
The contract guarantees the continuation of Deltamarin’s involvement in the Libra project, as the company has earlier participated in the outline phase design of the unit.
The FPSO completion is scheduled for the third quarter of 2016, and it is planned to start its operations in late 2016. The production capacity will be 50,000 bopd and 4 MMcmgd.
The contract value of Deltamarin’s engineering work is approximately $4.07 million (3.2 M€) and the work is to be completed during the second quarter of 2015.
