Tokyo, December 19, 2017
MODEC, Inc. ("MODEC") is pleased to announce that it has signed the contract for supply, charter, and operations of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel with Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. ("Petrobras") as Leader and Operator of the Libra Consortium on December 14th, 2017. The firm charter period of the contract is 22 years.

The FPSO will be deployed at the Mero field in the giant "pre-salt" region of the Santos Basin some 180 kilometers off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil at a water depth approximately 2,100 meters. The Libra Consortium is formed by Petrobras (operator, 40%), Shell Brasil (20%), Total (20%), CNPC (10%) and CNOOC Limited (10%), and state-owned Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. (PPSA), as manager of the production sharing contract.

MODEC is responsible for the engineering, procurement, construction, mobilization, installation and operation of the FPSO, including topsides processing equipment as well as hull and marine systems. A MODEC group company, SOFEC, Inc. will design and supply the spread mooring system.

The FPSO will be capable of processing 180,000 barrels of crude oil per day, 12 million cubic meters of gas per day, 225,000 barrels of water injection per day and will have storage capacity of 1,400,000 barrels of crude oil. The first oil production by the FPSO is planned for 2021.

This is the 14th FPSO/FSO vessel which MODEC will provide in Brazil, as well as MODEC's 7th FPSO in the "pre-salt" following the FPSO Cidade de Angra dos Reis MV22, the FPSO Cidade de São Paulo MV23, the FPSO Cidade de Mangaratiba MV24, the FPSO Cidade de Itaguaí MV26, the FPSO Cidade de Caraguatatuba MV27 and the FPSO Carioca MV30 of which MODEC has been awarded a contract for supply, charter, and operations by Petrobras in October 2017.

The FPSO will be delivered with Brazilian local content, following the successful experience of the latest projects in the country.

"We are extremely honored and proud to have been selected to provide and operate the FPSO for the Libra Consortium, in addition to the currently awarded another world class facility, the FPSO for Sépia field," commented Toshiro Miyazaki, President and CEO of MODEC. "We are committed to carry out these major projects by cooperating closely with our client and partners in order to contribute to the advancement of energy industry in Brazil."

The Project is the fifth occasion under which the Companies have collaborated to operate FPSOs in Brazil.

[Outline of the FPSO]

Oil processing capacity : 180,000 barrels per day
Gas processing capacity : 424 million cubic feet per day

Torpedo piles to keep Mero 1 FPSO in place

Brazilian engineering and construction firm Delp will deliver subsea torpedo piles for the anchoring system designed to keep Petrobras’ Mero 1 FPSO in place.

Image

The Mero 1 FPSO will be used for oil production at Mero field, in the Libra block offshore Brazil. The Mero field is located around 180 kilometers off the Rio de Janeiro coast, in ultra-deep waters and has high quality carbonate reservoirs with expected high well productivity.

In a statement sent to Offshore Energy Today, Delp said it would deliver 34 torpedo piles from its Belo Horizonte facility. The delivery will take place early in 2020. According to Delp, its torpedo piles offer “an attractive cost-saving” compared to suction piles.

Delp said: “We are happy to add these 34 torpedo piles on our track record of more than 600 Piles successfully delivered so far.”

The Mero-1 FPSO will be operated by Modec, the company responsible for the construction, and chartered for 22 years. Part of the construction will be carried out in Brazil.

Modec recently awarded a contract to Brazil’s offshore construction specialist, the Estaleiros do Brasil Ltda. (EBR), for the fabrication and assembly of a number of topsides process modules for the Mero FPSO system, the FPSO Guanabara MV31.

The Libra Block has been developed under a consortium agreement with Petrobras (40% share) as operator, and with Shell (20%), Total (20%), CNOOC Limited (10%), CNPC (10%) and Pré-Sal Petróleo – PPSA (state-owned company, manager of Libra Consortium contract) as the other consortium partners.

The FPSO Guanabara MV31 recently reached its maximum production capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil per day, about 8 months after entering into operation. Based on estimates made using Brazilian production data released so far, this should be the highest daily production achieved by a platform operating in the country. In a statement, Petrobras indicated that the performance is the result of high productivity per well, acceleration of the learning curve and the use of state-of-the-art technologies.

Built and operated by MODEC, this giant is the platform in operation with the largest combined nominal oil and gas production capacity in the country.
