Baker Hughes (BHGE) has been awarded a contract by Statoil Petroleum AS and Aker Solutions. This contract requires BHGE to provide turbomachinery equipment for the topside structure for the floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) to be located at the Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea.
Under the deal, BHGE will provide an integrated technology configuration tailored to the project’s specific needs. This will include BHGE’s module solution designed for FPSOs, specifically developed and pre-assembled to help Statoil reduce the number of interfaces at the installation site.
BHGE’s scope of supply will include two gas turbine generators with LM2500+ G4 Dry Low Emission with dual fuel capability direct coupled with two poles electric generators. Each gas turbine generator train will feature a Waste Heat Recovery Unit on its Exhaust system that will allow the recovery of energy of the turbine fumes in order to maximize efficiency. The scope of supply will also include Balance of Plant (BOP) auxiliaries related to the gas turbines and to the waste recovery units.
The modules will be shipped by Statoil to Singapore for final integration on the FPSO topside in the Q4 2019.
