TMC secures FPSO compressor job

Under the contract, TMC Compressors will provide a large compressed air system consisting of 3 x 400 kW frequency-controlled instrument air compressors, 2 x 86 kW feed air compressors, with associated air dryers and filters.

TMC will supply the equipment to SBM Offshore during the second quarter of 2018. TMC’s contract value is undisclosed.

“This will be a big FPSO, with a maximum storage capacity said to be 1.6 million barrels of crude oil, so it requires some major compressor power, which we are extremely happy to deliver,” says Hans Petter Tanum, TMC’s director of sales and business development.

SBM Offshore will construct, install, lease and operate the floating production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO).The FPSO will be deployed to the Liza field, circa 200km offshore Guyana.

“Only compressors that are specially designed and built for marine applications can deliver the required reliability, which is why I believe TMC has been selected for this particular delivery,” says Hans Petter Tanum.

The company is a thoroughbred supplier of marine compressors, based on 40 years’ heritage in the marine and offshore industries.
