Izomax has been awarded a contract for one of the world’s largest international energy companies on a major FPSO offshore Nigeria.
The project will support the replacement of critical heat exchangers without shutting down the FPSO. Using the AOGV, the required isolation can be established while the facility remains operational, allowing the maintenance work to be completed without a conventional shutdown.
Keeping production online
Taking an FPSO offline for maintenance can involve significant production losses and shutdown-related costs, in addition to the operational complexity associated with taking the facility offline and subsequently returning it to stable production.
For this project, keeping the FPSO operational is expected to avoid production losses and shutdown-related costs amounting to hundreds of millions of USD.
The AOGV will enable the required isolation to be established while the facility remains operational, supporting the replacement of the critical heat exchangers without interrupting production.
Another major project for the AOGV
The award represents another significant project for the Izomax team and reflects continued confidence in the AOGV as a trusted solution for shutdown-free maintenance.
With the project set to take place offshore Nigeria, it also adds to the growing number of AOGV projects being delivered across different regions and operating environments worldwide.
