ELECTRIC MOTORS FOR BRAZIL’S LARGEST OIL AND GAS PRODUCTION PLATFORM
WEG is supplying around 40 MV electric motors, with rated outputs of up to 13,400 kW; over 100 LV electric motors; and five MV variable speed drives (three of which have an 11,723 kW rated output), to drive machinery at the Bacalhau oilfield, which is said to be the largest oil and gas platform in Brazil.
With the first oil production scheduled between 2023/2024, the new platform is expected to have a production capacity of 220,000 barrels of oil per day and 15 million m³ per day of natural gas.
