TechnipFMC 于 1 月 3 日宣布，巴西国家石油公司授予TechnipFMC巴西海上 Mero 3 项目海底高压分离工艺的综合工程、采购、施工和安装 (iEPCI) 合同。

该合同价值超过10亿美元，涵盖海底设备的设计、工程、制造和安装，包括管汇、柔性和刚性管道、脐带缆和配电，以及现场服务的生命周期。

Mero 3高压分离(HISEP)项目利用海底处理捕获富含CO ₂的浓密气体，然后将其注入储层。TechnipFMC 与巴西国家石油公司 (Petrobras) 合作，推进了完全在海底交付 HISEP 工艺所需的一些核心技术的鉴定。

巴西海上 Mero 3 盐下项目将是第一个在海底使用巴西石油公司 HISEP 工艺的项目。HISEP 技术能够直接从井流中捕获富含 CO ₂的稠密气体，将部分分离过程从上部平台转移到海底。TechnipFMC 表示，除了减少温室气体排放外，HISEP 技术还通过消除上部天然气处理厂的瓶颈来提高产能。

Mero 3预计今年首次投产，运往桑托斯盆地 7,200 英尺水深的 FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias。

Petrobras 代表 Libra 联盟合作伙伴Shell Brasil Petroleo Ltda 运营 Mero 3 项目，持有 38.6% 的权益。TotalEnergies EP Brasil Ltda持股 19.3% 。中海石油巴西有限公司持股19.3% 。CNODC Brasil Petroleo e Gas Ltda 持股 9.65%。巴西政府在非合同领域的代表为巴西政府代表，占 9.65% 和 Pre-Sal Petroleo SA 占 3.5%。

运营商 Petrobras 于 1 月 2 日宣布，在该油田的其他地方，Mero 2 已开始生产。

Petrobras awarded TechnipFMC an integrated engineering, procurement, construction and installation (iEPCI) contract for a subsea high-pressure separation process for the Mero 3 project offshore Brazil, TechnipFMC announced Jan. 3.

The contract, valued at over $1 billion, covers the design, engineering, manufacture and installation of subsea equipment, including manifolds, flexible and rigid pipes, umbilicals and power distribution, as well as life of field services.

The Mero 3 High Pressure Separation (HISEP) project uses subsea processing to capture CO₂-rich dense gases and then inject them into the reservoir. TechnipFMC, in partnership with Petrobras, has advanced the qualification of some of the core technologies needed to deliver the HISEP process entirely subsea.

The pre-salt Mero 3 project offshore Brazil will be the first to use Petrobras’ HISEP process subsea. HISEP technologies enable the capture of CO₂-rich dense gases directly from the well stream, moving part of the separation process from the topside platform to the sea floor. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, HISEP technologies increase production capacity by debottlenecking the topside gas processing plant, TechnipFMC said.

First production from Mero 3 is expected this year to the FPSO Marechal Duque de Caxias in 7,200 ft water depth in the Santos Basin.

Petrobras operates the Mero 3 project with 38.6% interest on behalf of Libra Consortium partners Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda. with 19.3%, TotalEnergies EP Brasil Ltda. with 19.3%, CNOOC Petroleum Brasil Ltda. with 9.65%, CNODC Brasil Petróleo e Gas Ltda. with 9.65% and Pré-Sal Petróleo S.A. with 3.5% as the Brazilian government's representative in the non-contracted area.

Elsewhere in the field, Mero 2 started production, operator Petrobras announced Jan. 2.
