TMC will deliver a large\u00a0marine compressed air system to Scheduled for delivery in early 2023, the FPSO will be permanently moored at a water depth of approximately 780 metres. She will be capable of processing 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day, 130 million standard cubic feet of gas per day, 145,000 barrels of water injection per day and will have minimum storage capacity of 1,300,000 barrels of crude oil. which is currently undergoing conversion from a very large crude carrier (VLCC) to a floating, production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) at COSCO shipyard in Dalian, China.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sangomar field is expected to be Senegal’s first offshore oil development. I believe any supplier would be proud to be involved with such an important project for a developing nation,\u201d says Hans Petter Tanum, TMC\u2019s director of sales and business development.<\/p>\n
TMC\u2019s marine compressed air system for the Woodside Sangomar FPSO will consist of large capacity service and instrument air compressors with associated\u00a0air dryers and filters.\u00a0TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.<\/p>\n
The marine compressed air system will be manufactured in Europe and delivered to COSCO\u2019s shipyard in Dalian, China.<\/p>\n
Once completed, the FPSO will be deployed at the Sangomar (formerly SNE) field located approximately 100 km south of Dakar, Senegal. MODEC is responsible for supplying the FPSO, while Woodside is the operator of the Sangomar field development.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen vessels operate far from shore, operators want the most reliable equipment. Our marine compressed air system is designed specifically for offshore and marine use and to allow the crew to conduct equipment maintenance themselves. This is a key reason for why our system is favoured by the majority of the leading international FPSO operators,\u201d adds Hans Petter Tanum.<\/p>\n
