SUEZ Wins a Desalination Contract for 11 Oil Platforms in Brazil
Published on by Water Network Research, Official research team of The Water Network in Business
Petrobras has chosen SUEZ to provide desalinated water to 11 offshore oil platforms in the Campos Basin in the State of Rio de Janeiro.
The three-year contract worth 6 million euro will ensure the desalinated water needs of the offshore platforms.
The contract includes the provision and operation of seven mobile reverse osmosis1 desalination units with a capacity of 90 m3 per day to supply water to the 11 offshore platforms. SUEZ will also provide operational and maintenance assistance for the units.
The mobile units were specially designed to meet the technical constraints inherent to sea water treatment in order to provide offshore platforms with freshwater using the proven reverse osmosis technology. The units will ensure a reliable supply of water to the platforms depending on their needs.
With an adequate water supply in quality and quantity, Petrobras will ensure the long-term future of offshore oil drilling.
This first freshwater supply services contract for offshore oil platforms completes SUEZ’s offering for upstream oil & gas processes. In 2013 and 2014, SUEZ won the engineering and procurement contracts for nine water treatment units (five sulphate removal units and four sea water desalination units) to supply process water to five floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) platforms of “pre-salt” oil reserve exploited by Petrobras off the Brazilian coast.
