Øivind Tangen, CEO of SBM Offshore, commented:
“Our SBM teams continue to deliver a strong performance, driving improved results.
We have increased our EBITDA guidance for the year from around US
The award by TotalEnergies of the FPSO contract for the GranMorgu project in Suriname demonstrates the value of our lifecycle offering and the advantaged positioning this can give us in the market. The c. 220 kboe/d capacity vessel, delivered in partnership with Technip Energies, will utilize all-electric drive to help optimize the emission intensity of the FPSO in line with our emission zero goal of delivering more carbon-efficient units.
Our project portfolio continues to progress as per plan, with three units expected to reach first oil in the course of next year. This convergence towards excellence across our lifecycle is greatly helped by the fast learning achieved through our Fast4Ward® program.
The first of these units, FPSO Almirante Tamandaré, arrived safely in Brazil and has entered the final offshore commissioning scope. Once in full production, this unit will be the largest producing FPSO in Brazil and is also the first in Brazil with a Sustainability-1 Notation3.
Reflecting our continuous attention to the health and wellbeing of our employees and all those working on our projects, we can report another quarter with an overall HSSE performance in line with our targets.
