Sembcorp unit inks S$130mn FPSO conversion project

Jurong Shipyard to convert a VLCC to a FPSO vessel capable of producing 100,000 barrels of oil daily.

Jurong Shipyard, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sembcorp Marine, has secured an approximately S$130 million project to convert the Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) tanker, the MV “TAR II” (ex STAR II), to a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel for MODEC.

This conversion project involves the installation of an external turret mooring system and process facilities, which include gas turbine generators, oil separation, gas injection/gas lift and water injection system. Planned delivery to MODEC is 2Q 2013.

The FPSO is designed to operate for 20 years without dry-docking and it will have production capacity of 100,000 barrels of oil per day and a storage capacity of 1,600,000 barrels of oil.

The FPSO will be delivered to OSX Leasing B.V. for deployment in offshore Brazil, located in water depths of approximately 110 metres.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
