Petrobras has chosen SUEZ to provide desalinated water to 11 offshore oil platforms in the Campos Basin in the State of Rio de Janeiro. The three-year contract worth EUR 6M will ensure the desalinated water needs of the offshore platforms.
The contract includes the provision and operation of seven mobile reverse osmosis1 desalination units with a capacity of 90 m3 per day to supply water to the 11 offshore platforms. SUEZ will also provide operational and maintenance assistance for the units.
The mobile units were specially designed to meet the technical constraints inherent to sea water treatment in order to provide offshore platforms with freshwater using the proven reverse osmosis technology. The units will ensure a reliable supply of water to the platforms depending on their needs.
This first freshwater supply services contract for offshore oil platforms completes SUEZâs offering for upstream oil & gas processes. In 2013 and 2014, SUEZ won the engineering and procurement contracts for nine water treatment units to supply process water to five FPSO platforms of âpre-saltâ? oil reserve exploited by Petrobras off the Brazilian coast.
