OOGTK Libra & Co KG, a joint venture between Brazil’s Odebrecht Oil & Gas and Teekay Offshore, awarded a contract to Jurong Shipyard for conversion of the Navion Norvegia shuttle tanker to form the Libra EWT FPSO. This joint venture company will own and operate the FPSO, chartering it to Petrobras for twelve years, excluding options. LMC scope of supply includes engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the complete external turret. LMC will also design the mooring lines, analyse the risers and provide engineering support for integration of the turret and swivel stack onto the FPSO at Jurong Shipyard.
