Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, has announced that it has been awarded a contract, to be booked in 3Q24, to supply advanced compression solutions to Saipem for TotalEnergies’ Kaminho FPSO project in Angola.
Baker Hughes’ centrifugal BCL compressor and Integrated Compressor Line (ICL) technology were selected because of their capacity to minimise emissions, eliminate routine flaring and reinject 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 FPSO unit. Production start-up is set for 2028 and is expected to reach 70 000 bpd of oil production.
“The all-electric Kaminho FPSO project in Angola is a key example of sustainable energy development whereby the project will provide critical energy supply to the country, leveraging proven technology to lower its overall carbon footprint,” said Alberto Matucci, Vice President, Gas Technology Equipment, Industrial & Energy Technology at Baker Hughes. “Baker Hughes is proud to be contributing our vast experience in offshore and our leading low-emission compression technology to support TotalEnergies, Saipem and the Block 20/11 partners on this important project.”
