SES expands Petrobras connectivity across seven new FPSOs
SES will provide its O3b mPOWER medium-Earth orbit (MEO) satellite network services to Petrobras for connectivity on seven new Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessels. This extended partnership aims to deliver high-capacity connectivity for critical operational and crew welfare needs.
Key Takeaways
- SES will connect seven new Petrobras FPSOs using its O3b mPOWER MEO satellite network.
- The service is described as high-capacity connectivity for critical operational needs and crew welfare.
- The partnership extends SES’s existing relationship with Petrobras.
- The announcement names SES’s O3b mPOWER as the network being used.
Why It Matters
This gives Petrobras a satellite connectivity layer for seven new FPSO vessels, with the stated aim of supporting both operations and crew welfare. For SES, it extends O3b mPOWER’s footprint in offshore energy and keeps the network tied to a large industrial customer rather than a consumer streaming use case. The key detail to watch is execution across the seven FPSOs: whether SES provides service on all of them as announced and how Petrobras uses the network for operational versus crew-focused traffic.
