Sembcorp said the first contract was awarded by Norway’s BW Offshore for the conversion of a 97,000 dead weight tonnage tanker, BW Genie, into a floating production unit.
The company will carry out engineering and fabrication works including the installation of a new helideck and flare tower as well as upgrades to the accommodation facilities.
Sembcorp will also carry out repairs to extend the life of the vessel for another 20 years and expects to re-deliver the vessel to BW Offshore during the fourth quarter of next year to be stationed at the Terang Sirasun Batur field, offshore Indonesia.
The second contract was awarded by Bluewater Energy Services to upgrade the Glas Dowr FPSO and extend the life of the vessel for another 10 years.
Sembcorp said work on the vessel was expected to be completed during the second quarter of 2011 for deployment in the Kitan field in the Timor Sea.
