Bumi Armada will utilise a very large crude carrier (VLCC) class tanker for the FPSO conversion.
The FPSO, which is expected to start operations in the fourth quarter of 2016, will be equipped to store 1.8 million barrels of oil, with the capacity to handle 80,000 barrels per day of oil production.
Bumi Armada executive director and CEO Hassan Basma said: "The contract for the Block 15/06 field marks Bumi Armada’s largest FPSO contract to date, in both contract value as well as the VLCC vessel, which we will be using for the conversion, and clearly marks our entrance into the top tier of global FPSO players.
