Floating production solutions specialist Amplus Energy Services has signed an agreement with Altera Infrastructure to acquire the Petrojarl I floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit, which recently completed its deployment at Petrobras’ Atlanta field offshore Brazil.

The acquisition marks Amplus' initial vessel ownership, positioning the company to expand this strategy and meet growing market demands.

Petrojarl I FPSO was most recently deployed at Petrobras’ Atlanta field. It has a production capacity of 30,000 barrels of oil per day and a storage capacity of 180,000, and was replaced by the larger FPSO unit named Atlanta.

According to Amplus, Petrojarl I is available for swift deployment in early production system applications, extended well tests, and standalone marginal field developments.

Additionally, the FPSO is said to be ideal for cost-efficient, lower-production operations and can support both early-phase and tail-phase production in regions such as Vietnam, Suriname, Brazil, and West Africa.

Amplus noted that the FPSO requires minimal modification to be field-ready for specific customer needs.
