Turnkey FPSO Delivery in Brazil’s Campos Basin by NWE
From FEED to First Oil – A Complete Offshore Development Success Story
Full-Scope FPSO Engineering & EPCI by NWE
Complete Project Lifecycle Execution with Precision and Performance
NWE Group successfully executed a two-phase turnkey contract for Equinor’s FPSO unit—spanning Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) through Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and Installation (EPCI). The project kicked off in April 2022, reaching Final Investment Decision (FID) by May 2023, and entered full execution shortly after.
Strategic Offshore Deployment in the Pre-Salt Campos Basin
Deepwater Excellence at 2,900 Meters for a High-Impact Energy Asset
The FPSO is permanently moored 200 km off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, in the ultra-deepwater pre-salt region of the Campos Basin. The unit is central to the Raia Manta and Raia Pintada fields—developed by Equinor, in partnership with Repsol Sinopec and Petrobras.
Advanced FPSO Design & Operational Capabilities
High Output, Large Storage, and Robust Lifecycle Performance
This FPSO features a custom-designed, full double hull structure—supporting:
-
125,000 barrels/day of oil production
-
565 million standard cubic feet/day of gas export
-
2 million barrels of crude storage
With its larger topside capacity, the unit offers greater efficiency and reliability for long-term production.
Low-Carbon Offshore Energy with Combined Cycle Power
Electrified FPSO Systems Designed for a Sustainable Future
This project introduces one of the world’s first fully electrified FPSOs, integrating a Combined Cycle Power Generation System that significantly lowers CO₂ emissions. It reflects NWE’s commitment to net-zero technologies and offshore energy innovation.
The Raia Cluster: Unlocking Over 1 Billion BOE in Pre-Salt Reserves
A Project with the Potential to Supply 15% of Brazil’s Gas Demand
The Raia development unites three discoveries: Pão de Açúcar, Gávea, and Seat, totaling over 1 billion barrels of recoverable resources. With 16 million m³/day gas export capacity, this project can meet a significant portion of Brazil’s domestic energy needs by 2028.
