Furthermore, Siemens Energy’s Santa Barbara d’Oeste facility in Brazil will be responsible for the packing of all the rotating equipment packages.

The company stated that this facility has all the needed equipment for offering support and service to the FPSO’s modules after the installation.

For the load management of the FPSO facility, an ECMS will be developed for carrying out monitoring and regulation activities for the generation of power and distribution network.

The ECMS will allow the operator to oversee FPSO power, produce reports, and aim for future sustainability.

Siemens Energy industrial applications products senior vice-president Arja Talakar said: “Our mission is to help our partners in their energy transition by providing the equipment, infrastructure, and support to create thoughtful and sustainable change without compromising their ability to meet the world’s growing energy needs.”

MISC Berhad is working on the FPSO to increase its fleet of 14 floating production systems.

The newbuild will have a processing capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil, along with 12 million cubic metres of gas in a day.

Recently, Siemens Smart Infrastructure was commissioned by Germany’s Port of Kiel for the deployment of a Cloud-based power monitoring solution for its shore power system.
