PTEM: Enhancing Offshore Operational Excellence – FPSO Dalia & Girassol
PTEM has demonstrated its expertise in the offshore oil and gas sector through critical infrastructure upgrades for TotalEnergies (Total EP). Work on the FPSO Dalia and FPSO Girassol focused on optimizing production efficiency, environmental compliance, and extending the lifecycle of topside facilities.
PTEM’s role ranged from high-precision mechanical modifications to the integration of key utility systems in a demanding offshore environment.
Project Scope: Topside Modernization & Utility Upgrades
The interventions on these Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) units required strict safety standards and technical precision to minimize production downtime.
1. Gas Skid Optimization
- Mechanical Refurbishment: Upgrade of piping, valves, and filtration units to manage variable pressure conditions.
- System Reliability: Strengthening the gas processing system to ensure continuous offshore operations.
2. Ventilation & Floor Duct Systems
- Airflow Management: Modernization of ducting systems for efficient smoke extraction and climate control.
- Material Resilience: Use of corrosion-resistant materials suited for harsh offshore conditions.
3. Water Treatment Station Implementation
- Environmental Compliance: Integration of advanced filtration and separation technologies.
- Process Integration: Seamless connection to existing utility systems without disrupting production.
4. Water Storage Replacement
