Modec is responsible for the delivery of the BM-C-33 FPSO unit, which is expected to have production capacity of 16 million cubic metres of gas per day.

Under the contract, Baker Hughes will supply turbomachinery equipment including LM2500 gas turbine generators and steam turbine generator technology.

The turbomachinery equipment will be used for a combined cycle power generation solution, which is due to be installed in the BM-C-33 FPSO vessel, to reduce the carbon footprint.
