The packages will meet the power generation requirements of eight separate floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessels.

The FPSOs will operate in the petroleum-rich Lula and Guará oilfields, which are located in the pre-salt area of the Santos Basin, offshore Brazil.

The gas turbine power generation packages will be delivered in groups of four, with the first units scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2013.
