NOC took over the operatorship of the Al-Shaheen offshore oilfield from Maersk Oil in 2017.

Last month, a joint venture (JV) of Saipem and DSME was awarded a contract by Brazil’s Petrobras for a new floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) in the Búzios offshore field.

The contract includes engineering, procurement, fabrication and integration of the topsides of the FPSO unit, named P-79.

Additionally, the JV will install the mooring systems, as well as undertake the hookup, commissioning and start-up work.

The P-79 FPSO will be the eighth unit to be installed at the Búzios field, which is expected to have a daily production capacity of more than two million barrels of oil equivalent per day by the end of this decade.
