TMC Wins Marine Compressed Air System Contract for Agogo FPSO

Monday, January 29, 2024

Yinson Production has appointed Norway-based TMC Compressors (TMC) to supply a large marine compressed air system to its Agogo FPSO which will be located offshore Angola in the West Hub field of Block 15/06. The FPSO is expected to be operational in 2026.

TMC will provide a large-capacity marine compressed air system including compressors for control and service air on board the vessel. TMC will manufacture and assemble the equipment in Europe and deliver it to Yinson Production’s chosen conversion yard. TMC has not disclosed the value of the contract.

“We are delighted to maintain our position as the global market leader for supply of marine compressed air systems to FPSOs. Yinson Production is an experienced FPSO operator that we are proud to have on our client list,” says Hans Petter Tanum, TMC’s director of sales and business development.

TMC’s marine compressed air system is designed specifically for offshore and marine use. The compressors have been developed to allow the vessel crew to conduct equipment maintenance themselves. They are renowned for operational reliability and low energy consumption.

“Flying technicians offshore is a costly exercise. Enabling the vessel crew to conduct maintenance therefore makes sense,” adds Tanum.

Block 15/06 is operated by Azule Energy, Angola’s largest independent oil and gas producer, and a 50/50 joint venture between BP p.l.c.  and Eni S.p.A.  The Agogo FPSO is expected to be operational in 2026.
