Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam, part of Damen Shiprepair & Conversion, has been awarded an engineering, procurement and construction contract by Petrojarl I LLC for the upgrade of its FPSO vessel Petrojarl I. The Petrojarl I is a Teekay Petrojarl-managed FPSO unit built in 1986, which has been active in the North Sea. Its redeployment will be at the Atlanta Field in Brazil, a press release said.
The Petrojarl I is contracted by Queiroz Galvão Exploração e Produção for deployment at the Atlanta post-salt oil field in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil to produce heavy crude oil in a water depth of 1,535 m (5,036 ft). For this deployment as an early production system, the FPSO will be upgraded at Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam.
The work consists of basic engineering, detailed and construction design and engineering, workshop drawings, interface engineering, marine and process equipment procurement, fabrication, construction, corrosion protection/coating, transport and lifting operations, integration, mechanical completion, performance testing and commissioning activities, and includes upgrades and modifications related to marine, hull and life extension according to class, conversion of the process systems (i.e. separation train and produced water topsides) and integration, and Brazilian compliance.
Damen Shiprepair Rotterdam, responsible for the full upgrade of the FPSO vessel, has formed partnerships with Frames and Nevesbu. Frames will carry out the design and fabrication of the new topside skids. Nevesbu will carry out the marine and topside integration engineering.
The Petrojarl I will be at the shipyard for about one year and will arrive early in January 2015 at the yard.
