Siemens Energy Wins Contract for Petrobras FPSO Power and Compression Systems

Siemens Energy has been selected by SBM Offshore to supply power generation and gas compression systems for Petrobras' floating production, storage, and offloading vessels (FPSOs) in Brazil's Sergipe-Alagoas basin.

The solution will be installed on two platforms, P-81 and P-87, which are expected to produce up to 240,000 barrels of oil and process 22 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. The equipment will play a crucial role in the operation of these platforms, reinforcing Siemens Energy's position in complex offshore developments.

Siemens Energy will supply 16 main modular systems (skids), eight for each platform, which combine power generation and gas compression solutions. For each FPSO, this package includes four gas turbine generators to supply electricity, three gas turbine-driven compressor trains for gas processing and export, and one electrically driven compressor for gas injection into the reservoir.

A majority of the equipment will be assembled at Siemens Energy's industrial complex in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste city, Brazil. The project is expected to create approximately 400 direct and 500 indirect jobs.
