SES Provides Satellite Connectivity for Petrobras' Seven FPSOs

en.Wedoany.com Reported - SES S.A. will leverage its O3b mPOWER medium Earth orbit satellite network to provide connectivity for seven new floating production, storage, and offloading units (FPSOs) operated by Petrobras, supporting the startup of offshore oil and gas projects planned in Brazil between 2026 and 2030.

The agreement utilizes the O3b mPOWER network to equip these FPSOs with high-capacity, low-latency communication capabilities, and they are expected to play a central role in expanding Brazil's deepwater production. The system is designed to support real-time critical data transmission and digital applications in offshore operations, as operators increasingly rely on advanced connectivity to enhance efficiency and decision-making.

Brazil remains one of the world's most active offshore oil and gas regions, with Petrobras leading multiple deepwater projects involving FPSO infrastructure. "Brazil leads the world in new offshore projects," said Ricardo La Guardia, Vice President of SES Latin America. "Petrobras' selection of SES to power its new FPSOs confirms that O3b mPOWER is the preferred platform for mission-critical energy operations."

This deployment highlights the growing demand for high-performance communication systems on offshore assets, particularly as the digital transformation of the oil and gas industry accelerates, with the O3b mPOWER network emerging as a key choice for meeting the critical communication needs of FPSOs.
