Context & Environment

The activity takes place in the context of the pre-FID phase of a major project in Namibia, in affiliate being created and whose challenges and scope are currently being defined. The multidisciplinary team coordinates the development studies managed by Company on the Deep-Water discoveries of offshore Namibia. The technical challenges the GPI / Project will face are the reservoirs development and management, the EPCI & OM FPSO contracts and subsea production/injection system definition. The Project will be developed with the objectives to maximize economical results by optimizing the reserves, the schedule, reducing the costs and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission, while maintaining the technical quality of the installations, with high H3SE requirements and focus.

Missions/Service Dimensions

The service holder will be in charge of providing Topsides management services within the FPSO Team,during the engineering studies and Venus FPSO CCFT.
