Dutch floater expert SBM Offshore will be conducting a study with Brazilian state-owned oil and gas giant Petrobras for the application of carbon capture modules on FPSOs.
The module design is based on a successful engineering and design study done by SBM Offshore and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, qualified by DNV.
The design is based on a combination of Mitsubishi Heavy’s proprietary CO2 capture technology and SBM Offshore’s Fast4ward principles.
According to SBM, the compact modular solution allows a significant reduction of overall emissions associated with the production of oil and gas from FPSOs. The solution is being developed as part of the company’s EmissionZERO program.
The scope of the study covers the design and the commercial evaluation of various carbon capture system configurations to be installed on future FPSOs deployed on Petrobras fields.
More precisely, it will look at various turbine types and machinery set-ups, gas flow rates and gas turbine power installed as well as different CO2 concentrations and gas composition.
“We continue to work towards decarbonization solutions in the design of our products and our offshore operations. Through this study, we will be able to advance the carbon capture module design jointly with our partner MHI for CO2 reduction on future FPSOs,” said Olivier Icyk, chief business officer at SBM Offshore.
