Altera Infrastructure sells FPSO to Amplus Energy

Altera Infrastructure's floating production storage and offloading unit (FPSO) Petrojarl I has been sold to UK-based Amplus Energy following an agreement between the two companies.

The FPSO is Amplus' first vessel acquisition, and the company said it is a ready-to-deploy unit capable of meeting immediate and unique customer needs and demands.

Fully classed, the vessel has recently completed a successful deployment in Brazil.

Petrojarl I is available for swift deployment in early production system applications, extended well tests, and standalone marginal field developments. Additionally, the vessel is ideal for cost-efficient, lower-production operations and can support both early-phase and tail-phase production in regions such as Vietnam, Suriname, Brazil, and West Africa.

Amplus said the vessel requires minimal modification to be field-ready for specific customer needs.

Originally built by Japan's Nippon Kokan in 1986, the 215-metre long Petrojarl I is capable of operating in harsh environments. It was operated at 11 fields during its service with Altera.
