Aberdeen-based Amplus Energy Services acquired the FPSO Petrojarl I from Altera Infrastructure in mid-February. The vessel’s most recent deployment was offshore Brazil.

Amplus plans to make it available as a ready-to-deploy system that could be deployed at short notice for use as an early production, or for extended well tests or standalone marginal field developments.

It could support lower-production operations, early-phase or tail-end production in regions such as Brazil, Suriname, Vietnam or West Africa, Amplus believes, with minimal modifications to be field-ready for specific project needs.

Petrojarl I, according to the company, was the first world’s newbuild harsh-environment FPSO, achieving first oil in 1986 and operated since by Teekay (subsequently Altera) on 11 different fields.
