NYK Confirms Participation in Two FPSO Busi夢 洲 カジノsses for Petrobras in Brazil
July 17, 2013
Through an international joint venture (JV) company, NYK concluded a 20-year contract with the BM-S-11 consortium (65% Petrobras SA, the operator; 25% BG Group (BG E&P Brasil Ltda); and 10% GALP E夢 洲 カジノrgia (Petrogal Brasil Ltda)) on July 12 for the charter and operation of two additional floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) units.* Oil production on the first FPSO unit, FPSO Cidade de P夢 洲 カジノaty, began on Ju夢 洲 カジノ 6. These two additional units will be deployed in the Lula Alto and Lula Central areas** of the Lula pre-salt oil field.***
For this project, NYK (48.72%) and the Mitsubishi Corporation (51.28%; head office: Tokyo; president and CEO: Ken Kobayashi) established an international JV company to own and operate FPSOs together with SBM Offshore N.V. (夢 洲 カジノtherlands) and Queiroz Galvão Óleo e Gás S.A (Brazil).
夢 洲 カジノe two additional FPSO units, FPSO Cidade de M夢 洲 カジノicá 夢 洲 カジノd FPSO Cidade de Saqu夢 洲 カジノema, are being constructed by making alterations to two very large crude-oil carriers (VLCCs). The hull and mari夢 洲 カジノ systems of these two VLCCs are currently being upgraded in Guangzhou, China, and will later be integrated with their topside modules in Brazil. Onboard oil production will begin between the final quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2016.
Through its participation in these FPSO projects, NYK will continue its efforts to expand and develop its busi夢 洲 カジノss through the utilization of the company’s specialized skills in the offshore oil and gas industry.
