To be commissioned in 2024, the FPSO will have a processing capacity of 180,000 barrels of oil and 12 million cubic metres of gas per day. It will operate in an oil field located offshore South America.

Siemens Energy industrial applications products senior vice-president Arja Talakar said: “Our mission is to help our partners in their energy transition by providing the equipment, infrastructure, and support to create thoughtful and sustainable change without compromising their ability to meet the world’s growing energy needs.”
