Veolia wins multi-million dollar contract for a seawater treatment package for One Guyana FPSO

The Yellowtail-SBM Offshore/McDermott Joint Venture (YTSM JV) has awarded Veolia Water Technologies, through its subsidiary VWS Westgarth Ltd, a multi-million dollar contract for the supply of a seawater treatment process module for the One Guyana FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading vessel), which will operate in the Stabroek block, offshore Guyana.

In order to process 15,350 m3/h of seawater for cooling, freshwater production, and low sulfate water injection, equipment must be designed, purchased and supplied.

350 m3/h of fresh water from seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) is delivered along with up to 2,092 m3/h of nano-filtered low sulfate seawater injection.

The seawater system is offered as one, utterly integrated process module that includes coarse filtration, UltraMEV108 ultrafiltration pretreatment, sulfate removal membrane process, SWRO membrane process, membrane Clean-In-Place unit, vacuum deaerator unit, water injection booster pumps with system piping, valves and instrumentation.

Low-sulfate salt water is pumped into the oil-bearing reservoir to maintain pressure and enhance secondary recovery.

This helps to ensure that oil production is carried out as effectively as possible while reducing the activities’ carbon imprint.

The One Guyana project builds on the successful SRP process modules design, supply and operations support services provided for the Liza Unity and Liza Prosperity FPSOs.

This will be Veolia’s fourteenth Sulphate Removal Process (SRP) technology project with SBM Offshore and our third for Guyana’s Stabroek Block.

VWS Westgarth’s project manager, Stephen Hill, stated:

“We appreciate the Yellowtail SBM Offshore/McDermott Joint Venture’s continued confidence in our ability to develop and provide this specialized technology. Our skilled project team is steadfastly committed to doing our share to ensure the project’s success.”
