MODEC awards Trelleborg fast-track contract for ENI Mexico Area 1 FPSO
Trelleborg’s offshore operation has been awarded a fast track contract to produce over 80 laminated elastomeric bearings for MODEC, a leading specialist for offshore floating solutions. The first delivery was in July 2019 and the bearings will be installed on an FPSO vessel for use in the Area 1 block offshore Mexico.
Vincent Tan, Sales and Marketing Manager at Trelleborg’s offshore facility in Singapore, says: “With our proven track record with MODEC in supplying Elastomeric bearings for their last five FPSOs, we are very proud that they came to us when they needed further bearings rapidly. Our working relationship with them focuses on local communications and accessibility for Factory Acceptance Testing for this global project.
Elastomeric bearings are produced with steel plates encased within rubber and installed between the hull of a vessel and the vessel’s modules. They are used to accommodate axial, shear and rotational movement. By doing so, they keep a vessel's modules safe from the impact, damage and deformation that can arise from adverse sea and weather conditions.
MODEC will own the FPSO and provide the operations and maintenance services to Eni Mexico S. de R.L. de C.V. for an initial 15 year period with the option of one-year extensions for a further 5 years. The FPSO will be capable of processing 90,000 bbl crude oil per day, 75 MMscfd, 120,000 bbl water injection per day and have a storage capacity of 700,000 bbl crude oil. The first oil production by the FPSO is planned for 2021.
