- Five Everllence compressor trains to be deployed on MODEC-operated vessel for Gato do Mato Project (Orca field) in the Santos Basin

MODEC, a leading supplier and operator of offshore systems for the global energy industry, has commissioned Everllence to supply five compressor trains for its new FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) for the Gato do Mato – Orca Project offshore Brazil.

The FPSO will be moored in the pre-salt area of the Santos Basin, approximately 200 kilometers south of Rio de Janeiro, at a water depth of around 2,000 meters. Once in operation, the vessel will have a production capacity of 120,000 barrels of oil and 360 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.

The FPSO Gato do Mato – Orca Project is being developed through a partnership among Shell (50%), as operator, Ecopetrol (30%), and TotalEnergies (20%), with Brazilian state-owned PPSA (Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A.) participating as Production Sharing Contract manager.

The Everllence compression systems will play a key role in maintaining pressure in the Orca field, thereby maximizing production flow and efficiency.

Jens Hüren, Managing Director of Everllence Brasil, states: “We’re delighted that MODEC is once again relying on our compression technology. FPSO developments place high demands on availability, execution reliability and long-term support. Our experience in offshore compression, combined with close collaboration with partners such as Solar Turbines and the support of our local PrimeServ organization in Brazil, enables us to meet these requirements throughout the lifecycle of the Orca FPSO.”

Everllence will supply five barrel-type RB compressor trains for two process duties: flash-gas compression and high-pressure gas injection. The flash-gas compression units will be electrically driven, while the gas injection trains will be powered by gas turbines from Solar Turbines. Everllence and Solar Turbines will work in close coordination across engineering, delivery and lifecycle support.

Holger Wörner, Head of Sales Upstream at Everllence, adds: “This major order highlights Everllence’s strong position as a trusted partner in the offshore industry. Our proven compression systems deliver the reliability and efficiency FPSO projects demand, while helping operators move toward their long-term sustainability goals. At Everllence, innovation and commitment go hand in hand – empowering customers around the world to develop energy resources responsibly and efficiently.”

Everllence PrimeServ in Brazil will provide local service capabilities to support commissioning, operation and long-term maintenance of the compression systems, ensuring proximity to the vessel and fast response times throughout its operating life.
