International oil industry supplier Eureka has been awarded a contract by Yinson Production to supply a back-up power generator set to the FPSO Abigail-Joseph.
Under the contract, Eureka will engineer, manufacture and deliver a turnkey containerized generator set for use as essential back-up power source on board the FPSO, which is deployed at the Anyala and Madu fields, located offshore Nigeria.
The tailor-made generator set incorporates an optimized design to cater for a high-speed engine solution.
“We have extensive experience from delivering various types of gensets to offshore assets all over the world. We apply a stringent and high-quality execution model to ensure that we deliver the right quality at the right time, in line with Yinson Production’s expectations,” says Ole-Johan Øby Svendsen, chief commercial officer at Eureka.
Eureka will manage engineering and procurement from the company’s headquarter at Fornebu outside Oslo, Norway, and office in Zeneca, Bosnia-Hercegovina. The company’s facility at Sørumsand, north of Oslo, will manage manufacturing and assembly of the containerized generator set.
Eureka’s service team in Norway will manage commissioning, start-up and provide operational support when the equipment is installed on board the FPSO.
Eureka has not disclosed the value of the contract.
“We have a highly flexible and competent organization that understands the importance of designing and developing a robust product with a long lifespan. With the FPSO located far from shore, the operator needs to be certain that it has a reliable back-up power source. That is exactly what we will provide,” says Tom Munkejord, CEO of Eureka.
The vessel is owned by Yinson Production and currently leased to First E&P offshore Nigeria.
Eureka is a provider of pumping and power solutions to the offshore energy industries. The company is part of the Techouse Group.
