Everllence Supplies Compressor Trains, Process Simulation Offshore Guyana

MODEC contracted Everllence to supply four compressor trains for a newbuild floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessel in the Hammerhead field offshore Guyana. The complete scope includes four barrel-type RB compressor trains: two low-pressure gas compressors and two export gas compressors. Also, the delivery includes comprehensive dynamic process simulation, allowing the compressors to operate at full process efficiency.

“This major order for the Hammerhead field further underscores our role as a trusted technology provider in the rapid development of Guyana’s energy industry,” said Andrei Popescu, Director of Sales Oil & Gas, Everllence USA. “It also reflects our ability to deliver reliable compression solutions for demanding offshore developments, in close collaboration with our partners and customers across South America and beyond.”

These compressors will be electrically driven and, upon startup, will help maximize the quantity and efficiency of gas production from the Hammerhead field. The low-pressure gas compressors will feature variable frequency drives, while the export gas compressors will leverage fixed-speed drives. Everllence will design, manufacture, and test the compressors at its facility in Zurich, Switzerland.

“We are glad to support MODEC’s offshore development by supplying our proven compressor technology,” said Daniel Schmidli, Head of Sales Industries SEA at Everllence. “Our solutions are designed for high availability and long-term performance, supported by comprehensive lifecycle services that help ensure reliable and safe operation of the FPSO in challenging deep-water environments.”

The FPSO vessel will be anchored approximately 200 km offshore at a water depth of around 1,025 meters, with a planned initial production capacity of 150,000 barrels of oil per day and total installed storage capacity of 1.5 million barrels of oil. It’s the seventh FPSO project developed by ExxonMobil Guyana, the operator of the Hammerhead field. First production is expected in 2029.

Brazilian FPSO

In mid-January 2026, Everllence was commissioned to supply five barrel-type RB compressor trains for MODEC’s new Gato do Mato FPSO vessel, a key component in the Orca Project offshore Brazil. Additionally, Everllence PrimeServ will locally support the commissioning, operation, and long-term maintenance of compression systems, guaranteeing proximity to the FPSO and quick response times throughout its operating life.

The compressor trains will perform two process duties—flash-gas compression and high-pressure gas injection—maintaining pressure and maximizing production flow and efficiency in the Orca field. The flash-gas compression units will be electrically driven, while the gas injection models will be driven by gas turbines from Solar Turbines. Everllence and Solar Turbines will closely coordinate across engineering, delivery, and lifecycle support duties.

FPSO Gato do Mato will be moored in the pre-salt region of the Santos Basin, approximately 200 km south of Rio de Janeiro at a water depth of around 2,000 meters. Once operational, the vessel will feature a production capacity of 120,000 barrels of oil and 360 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.

MOPICO

In October 2025, MT Group contracted Everllence to deliver a 5-MW hermetically sealed motor pipeline compressor (MOPICO) system for the Jauniunai station in Lithuania, operated by AB Amber Grid. The new MOPICO system will compress natural gas to approximately 53 bar, increasing transmission capacity while using renewable electricity and ensuring zero direct CO₂ emissions during operation.
