Nexans has completed a 3 million Euro contract for SBM Offshore (Single Buoy Moorings) to manufacture and supply the specialized offshore power, control and instrumentation cables for the conversion of the Espirito Santo FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) vessel serving the BC-10 deep water field development in the Campos Basin offshore Brazil.
Working under a tight delivery schedule, the Nexans factory in Lyon (France) manufactured over 500 kilometers of specialized halogen-free, fire-safe offshore cable for the FPSO conversion project carried out by SBM Offshore in Singapore. The double-hulled Espirito Santo has significant power and heat delivery systems to drive the subsea systems and process crude oil, with a production capacity of 100,000 BOEPD (Barrels of Oil Equivalent Per Day).
