Petrobras has chosen GE Oil & Gas to power its four new FPSOs – the P-74, P-75, P-76, and P-77 – bound for the Cessão Onerosa field in the Santos Basin pre-salt. GE’s turbomachinery will generate primary energy for the FPSOs using gas turbines and advanced generators to move gas through pipelines via compressors and re-injecting CO2 and natural gas back into the well to enhance oil recovery.

The contract’s scope includes the supply of 16 powergen turbogenerators, eight turbo compression trains, and 32 electric motor-driven compressors for gas main, export services and CO2 re-injection.

The contract win “demonstrated the strength of [GE’s] integration,” said Joao Geraldo Ferreira, president and CEO of GE Oil & Gas for Latin America.
