Offshore staff
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Yinson Production is working with Azule Energy on an offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) process plant for the Agogo FPSO offshore Angola.
This would be the world’s first post-combustion carbon capture unit installed on an FPSO, Yinson claimed. It would serve as a demonstration system in an offshore floating environment to determine technical readiness and to derive operational experience.
In addition to this equipment, the FPSO will feature electrification, automation and digitalization technologies, a combined-cycle power system, a seawater turbine generator, a hydrocarbon cargo tank blanketing scheme, and an integrated closed flare system.
Azule aims to reduce the platform’s carbon emissions and improve operational efficiency through these measures.
Carbon Circle Holding AS, a carbon removal and energy EPC company, is responsible for the design and construction of the CCS plant.
In February, Yinson entered a contract with Azule to provide, operate and maintain the FPSO for the Agogo Integrated West Hub Development Project.
