Set to operate in the Raia Manta and Raia Pintada fields in the Campos Basin, floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel called Raia is currently undergoing construction.
The scale and complexity of the construction is testament to the advanced and cutting edge technology that backs the vessel. Prioritising operational safety and automation, the vessel has the capacity to process more than 100,000 barrels of oil per day with efficiency and environmental responsibility.
The FPSO's structural strength and integrated control and safety systems enable the easy execution of complicated operations while keeping sustainability in mind.
Its construction sees state-of-the-art engineering, energy transition values and teamwork, generating technology, jobs, and national development.
The vessel will operate for Equinor who onboarded MODEC to deliver the second phase of an engineering procurement construction and installation (EPCI) contract. Alongside processing equipment and hull marine systems, it will provide topsides designed to produce approximately 125,000 barrels of crude oil per day as well as produce and export approximately 565 million standard cubic feet of associated gas per day. Its minimum storage capacity of crude oil will be 2,000,000 barrels.
MODEC will also cover the initial operation and maintenance services for the FPSO.
