KEPPEL TO DELIVER FIRST FPSO FOR BRAZIL’S OSX
SINGAPORE, Aug 13 (Bernama) -- Keppel Shipyard Ltd is on track to complete the modification and upgrading works on FPSO OSX-1, the first floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit for OSX Brasil S.A. (OSX).
The FPSO OSX-1, chartered to OGX Petroleo e Gas Participacoes S.A. (OGX), will be deployed in the Waimea field, in Campos Basin, offshore Brazil.
This project will deliver OGX's first oil, just four years after the company was founded. Production is expected to commence in the last quarter of this year.
OSX director of engineering, leasing and operations, Carlos Bellot, said PSO OSX-1 was the company's first unit, and was developed to meet OGX´s demand.
He said with a strong track record in FPSO projects, Keppel Shipyard was the choice yard for the modification and upgrading of FPSO OSX-1.
"The unit was accorded dedicated and professional services, and I'm
confident it will be an asset to OGX and the Brazil's oil and gas industry," he said at the naming ceremony of FPSO OSX here Saturday.
Keppel Shipyard's work scope on FPSO OSX-1 includes fabricating, modifying and upgrading the topside process modules.
Previously named Nexus-1, the FPSO OSX-1 is expected to leave the yard in the third quarter of 2011.
