Norway-headquartered TMC Compressors has won a contract to supply the marine compressed air system for the Woodside Sangomar FPSO, offshore Senegal
Under the terms of the agreement, TMC will deliver a large marine compressed air system to Woodside Sangomar FPSO which is currently undergoing conversion from a very large crude carrier (VLCC) to a floating, production, storage and offloading vessel (FPSO) at COSCO shipyard in Dalian, China.
“The Sangomar field is expected to be Senegal's first offshore oil development. I believe any supplier would be proud to be involved with such an important project for a developing nation,” said Hans Petter Tanum, TMC’s director of sales and business development.
The marine compressed air system will be manufactured in Europe and delivered to COSCO’s shipyard in Dalian, China.
Once completed, the FPSO will be deployed at the Sangomar (formerly SNE) field located approx. 100 km south of Dakar, Senegal. MODEC is responsible for supplying the FPSO, while Woodside is the operator of the Sangomar field development.
Scheduled for delivery in early 2023, the FPSO will be permanently moored at a water depth of approximately 780 metres. It will be capable of processing 100,000 barrels of crude oil per day, 130 million scf of gas per day, 145,000 barrels of water injection per day and will have minimum storage capacity of 1,300,000 barrels of crude oil.
