The space solutions specialist has been selected to provide services to Petrobras, the Brazilian national oil company, via its O3b mPOWER high-capacity Medium Earth Orbit (MEO) satellite network.
This contract is designed to connect several new Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) systems. These projects are set to enter service in the coming years and are expected to increase the group's oil and gas production capacity to meet domestic energy needs and contribute to global markets.
FPSOs are modern, high-performance production platforms responsible for processing, collecting, storing, and transferring oil to tankers directly from deep-water subsea wells. These units provide the flexibility and operational resilience required to support large-scale offshore production in remote and challenging environments. Brazil hosts the majority of offshore projects currently under development worldwide, and Petrobras is one of the planet's largest FPSO operators.
High-performance connectivity for critical operations
Operational since 2024, the O3b mPOWER high-performance MEO network is distinguished by its low latency and open standards, making it ideal for the energy sector's requirements. The system's unique features, such as high upload throughput and the ability to modulate capacity between uplinks and downlinks, provide the reliability needed to manage the massive volume of data generated by FPSO operations.
Demand for high-capacity connectivity in the Brazilian energy sector continues to grow as the industry's digitalization progresses. The ability to transform real-time information into faster, smarter decisions, leading to substantial efficiency gains, is a crucial factor for the offshore oil and gas industry.
