Eureka, a Norway-headquartered supplier of pumping and power solutions to the offshore energy industry and a member of the Techouse Group, has been contracted by Singapore-based Yinson Production to engineer, manufacture and deliver a turnkey containerised generator set for use as the primary back-up power source on board the FPSO Abigail-Joseph, which operates at the Anyala and Madu fields offshore Nigeria.
The generator set has been tailor-made to incorporate an optimised design suited to a high-speed engine solution. Eureka’s engineering and procurement operations will be managed from its headquarters at Fornebu, near Oslo, and its office in Zenica, Bosnia-Herzegovina, while manufacturing and assembly will be carried out at the company’s dedicated facility at Sørumsand, north of Oslo. Eureka’s service team will also manage commissioning, start-up and ongoing operational support once the equipment is installed on board the vessel.
“We have extensive experience delivering various types of generator sets to offshore assets all over the world. We apply a stringent and high-quality execution model to ensure that we deliver the right quality at the right time, in line with Yinson Production’s expectations,” said Ole-Johan Øby Svendsen, Chief Commercial Officer at Eureka.
“We have a highly flexible and competent organisation that understands the importance of designing and developing a robust product with a long lifespan. With the FPSO located far from shore, the operator needs to be certain that it has a reliable back-up power source. That is exactly what we will provide,” added Tom Munkejord, CEO of Eureka.
The FPSO Abigail-Joseph is owned by Yinson Production and currently leased to First E&P for operations offshore Nigeria. The contract value has not been disclosed.
