CO2 gas injection comprpessor for FPSO offshore Brazil

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Compressor Corporation (MCO) has received an order for two carbon dioxide (CO₂) gas injection compressors for FPSO which will be deployed to BM-S-9 (Guara) Block in the giant “pre-salt” region of the Santos Basin (off the coast of Brazil).
With this order, total number of centrifugal compressors ordered to MCO counts 1000 units.
Gas injection compressors are used for CO₂ capture & reinjection in the reservoir to enhance hydrocarbon recovery.
Besides enhanced oil recovery (EOR), CO₂ gas compressors is applied to Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS). Today, they are garnering intense attention for the environment and energy sector globally.
