Energy technology company Baker Hughes has been awarded a contract to provide advanced compression solutions to Saipem, supporting TotalEnergies’ Kaminho FPSO project offshore Angola.
Baker Hughes will supply its centrifugal BCL compressor and integrated compressor line technology, selected for its ability to reduce emissions by eliminating routine flaring and reinjecting associated gas into the reservoir for storage.
“The all-electric Kaminho FPSO project in Angola is a prime example of sustainable energy development, providing critical energy supply to the country while leveraging proven technology to lower its carbon footprint,” said Alberto Matucci, Vice President of Gas Technology Equipment at Baker Hughes.
Set to be the first major deepwater development in Angola’s Kwanza Basin, the Kaminho project is expected to begin production in 2028, reaching an estimated output of 70,000 barrels per day.
