Frames Flow Control & Safeguarding has completed the flow control and safeguarding equipment for the Petrobras FPSO Cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes MV29.
Modec Offshore Production Systems (Singapore), a Modec group company, awarded Frames a contract for supplying one subsea hydraulic power unit (HPU) package, 14 production well control racks, eight water injection well control racks, and accessory equipment for the Petrobras FPSO Cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes MV29. The Frames equipment is expected to be delivered this month.
The FPSO Cidade de Campos dos Goytacazes MV29 will be used to develop the Tartaruga Verde and Tartaruga Mestiça fields, located in the Campos basin off the coast of Brazil. The FPSO will be capable of processing 150,000 b/d.
The Frames flow control and safeguarding equipment is designed to provide a clean and reliable hydraulic pressurized fluid for the actuators of hydraulic operated subsea valves, the company said.
“The production of FPSOs is becoming increasingly challenging, especially in today’s difficult economic climate,” Kor Paap, Frames account manager for subsea hydraulics said. “For us, but also for oil companies and contractors, it’s necessary to work efficiently and reduce costs. With our technical know-how and multidisciplinary capabilities for design optimization, we were able to provide the most customized cost-effective solution for this project.”
