Keppel O&M set to deliver first FPSO vessel this year

The unit was named John Agyekum Kufuor.

Keppel Offshore & Marine’s wholly-owned subsidiary Keppel Shipyard Ltd is set to deliver a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel to Yinson Production (West Africa) Pte Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yinson Holdings Berhad.

The spread-moored FPSO unit was named John Agyekum Kufuor during a naming ceremony held at Keppel Shipyard. The unit will be chartered by ENI Ghana Exploration & Production Limited (ENI Ghana) to process oil and gas from the Offshore Cape Three Points (OCTP) block located in
Offshore Ghana.

Michael Chia, managing director of marine & technology at Keppel O&M, said the group has strengthened its relationship with its repeat customers, Yinson and ENI,

“We have a strong track record of customising FPSOs for a wide variety of fields. FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor is our 27th conversion project for Africa, and 125th overall,” he said.

FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor has a storage capacity of 1.7 million barrels, with an oil processing capacity of 58,000 barrels per day. It has a design life of 20 years without
dry docking and can be moored in an average water depth of 1,000m with a total topside weight of almost 15,000 tonnes.

Keppel Shipyard’s work on the FPSO John Agyekum Kufuor included modification work, new equipment installation complete with associated piping, electrical and instrumental systems, as well as installation and integration of the FPSO process topsides.
