Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has announced that it has been awarded a contract, to be booked in the third quarter, to supply advanced compression solutions to Saipem for TotalEnergies’ Kaminho Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) project in Angola.

Baker Hughes’ centrifugal BCL compressor and Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) technology were selected because of their capacity to minimize emissions, eliminate routine flaring and re-inject associated gas into the reservoir for storage.

The all-electric Kaminho project is the first large deepwater development in the Kwanza basin and comprises the conversion of a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) to a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit. Production start-up is set for 2028 and is expected to reach 70 000 bbl of oil production a day.

 

“The all-electric Kaminho FPSO project in Angola is a key example of sustainable energy development whereby the project will provide energy supply to the country, leveraging technology to lower its overall carbon footprint,” said Alberto Matucci, vice president, Gas Technology Equipment, Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes.

This award builds on Baker Hughes’ momentum in the offshore segment, most recently securing two offshore topside contracts to provide power generation systems for two innovative, large-size and all-electric FPSO units in Latin America. Also this year, Baker Hughes was awarded a Gas Technology Equipment contract in Algeria.
