Rebuild of Santos fire damaged plant completed
O and G Solutions, a JV between Aker Kvaerner Australia and United KG has worked with Santos to successfully complete the fast-track rebuild of the damaged Moomba Gas Plant in central Australia
This unit is the first delivered by Aker Kvaerner Process Systems to the Brazilian market.
In parallel, Aker Kvaerner Process Systems completed the commissioning of the second SRU supplied to the FPSO MV14 (FPSO Cidade do Rio de Janeiro) operated by Modec, with a capacity of 120,000 BPD of low sulphate water.
Performance guarantee testing was approved by the client.
Not only was the FPSO MV14 a fast track execution project during fabrication, it was also very time critical regarding system commissioning and getting the SRU plant operational to support the injection wells when hooked up.
This shows the high level commitment and abilities of Aker Kvaerner Process Systems to deliver functional process modules.
The success of the commissioning work is very much due to the close cooperation between the Aker Kvaerner Process Systems offices in Norway and Brazil and utilisations of the inherent technical and cultural skills present at each location.
The operational SRUs are part of the IOR (Increased Oil Recovery) activities supporting Petrobras to maintain and increase the oil production in the Campos Basin.
In addition to the facilities in operation, Aker Kvaerner Process Systems is currently supplying similar equipment for another two Brazilian projects: the P-54 project, expected to be commissioned shortly, and the FPSO Cidade do Niteroi to be commissioned end 2008.
