Nine Resinex big floating systems for the support of hoses and cables, was installed in the offshore field BC-10 of Shell in Brazil, off the Brazilian coasts of the Espirito Santo State. These big buoys were supplied by our company to the international group SBM Offshore, specialist in plants for the open sea oil industry.They are nine modular systems, each of them is composed of 11 floats, linked together,
which form a unique buoy which is 12 metres long. Each side measures 2,25 metres. They will be used to work in surface and every buoy is able to generate a nett buoyancy of 45 tons.The modularity of this floating system, allow to project it “ad hoc” according to the specific needs of each client and it makes the transportation easier and less expensive.
The BC-10 Shell field, is located in the Campos field, 120 kilometres South-East Vitoria in deep water between 1500 and 2000 metres, where the FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) “Espirito Santo” of SBM is operative. It is a vessel of 270.000 tons of tonnage, it can stow 2 millions of crude oil barrels and it can work up to 1.780 metres of depth.
It has been calculated that in a full running, the BC-10 Shell field will be able to produce 100.000 oil barrels a day.
Shell has 50% of the investment and it is an operative partner also on behalf of Petrobras (35%) and of ONGC.(15%).
