The FPSO features a boiler and steam turbine-based power generation system instead of conventional gas turbines, which is said to help reduce the carbon dioxide footprint of the facility. The Barossa FPSO will be MODEC's sixth FPSO in Australia. The Barossa joint venture is currently formed by ConocoPhillips Australia Barossa Pty Ltd. (field operator, 37.5%), SK E&S Australia Pty Ltd. (37.5%) and Santos Offshore Pty Ltd. (25.0%). Earlier this month, Santos agreed to buy ConocoPhillips' northern Australia business for $1.39 billion. The final investment decision for the Barossa project is expected in early 2020. 10/30/2019
