Saipem FDS 2 is a DP3 field development vessel designed for ultra-deepwater subsea construction. Operating primarily in J-lay mode, it is capable of installing rigid pipelines up to 36 inches in diameter, as well as subsea structures, umbilicals and flexible flowlines. Equipped with a 2,000-tonne J-lay tower, a 1,000-tonne offshore crane, a DP3 dynamic positioning system and automated welding systems, FDS 2 delivers high-precision and efficient installation for complex offshore field development projects.

The “Modernización Refinería Talara” project involves the refurbishment and modernization of the Talara refinery located in Peru. The project seeks to achieve two key objectives: reducing sulfur content in diesel, gasoline, and LPG fuels to a maximum of 50 ppm and increasing the refinery’s crude processing capacity from 65,000 to 95,000 barrels per day (BPD), allowing for the processing of heavy crude and conversion of residual products into marketable ones.

The expansion and modernization initiative aims to significantly increase the refinery’s petrol production capacity, quadrupling it to 450 thousand tonnes per year. As a part of this project, the Combined Cycle has been revamped to utilize hydrogen generated by the new Platforming unit. Additionally, energy production has been optimized by recycling gas, resulting in a notable reduction in polluting emissions.
