Burckhardt Compression has secured two orders for the Boaventura Energy Complex, a major Petrobras project in Brazil, for the supply of six process gas compressor packages and related services. The orders mark an important milestone in the company's strategy to expand its presence in South America's growing energy market.

The compressor packages were ordered by Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) companies responsible for executing three parallel projects within the Boaventura Energy Complex in Itaboraí, Rio de Janeiro. The equipment will be used in natural gas processing as well as new refining and lubricant production units.

Formerly known as Comperj, the Boaventura Energy Complex is a key element of Petrobras' decarbonization strategy. The site combines cleaner natural gas processing with future initiatives in green hydrogen research and biorefining projects focused on sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), making it one of Brazil's most important energy infrastructure projects.

"South America is a strategic growth market for Burckhardt Compression, and Brazil is one of the region's most important energy hubs," said Andreas Brautsch, President Systems Division at Burckhardt Compression. “Winning this order from Petrobras is a significant success for our team and a strong validation of our commitment to the region. It demonstrates the value of being close to our customers, understanding their needs and supporting them with local expertise backed by global engineering capabilities.”

The contract reflects Burckhardt Compression's increased focus on South America and the close collaboration established with Petrobras and its project partners in recent years. Supported by its recently opened additional service center in Brazil, the company continues to strengthen its local presence and service capabilities across the region.
