KUALA LUMPUR (June 4): CIMB IB Research has maintained its “Add” rating on Yinson Holdings Bhd at RM5.01 with a higher target price of RM5.90 (from RM5.89), and said Yinson inches closer to securing large floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) contracts in Brazil and Ghana.
In a note today, the research house quoted from energy portal Upstream and said Yinson’s chances at the Marlim floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) bids have improved, after Japan-based Modec decided to scale back the scope of its bid for the Marlim field in Brazil.
“With Modec now only interested in one of the two Marlim FPSOs, it appears that Yinson is on track to secure either the Marlim-1 or Marlim-2 FPSO contracts, because there are no other bidders, as long as Petrobras is agreeable to Yinson’s asking prices. Both FPSOs are scheduled to enter into production in either 2022 forecasts or 2023 forecasts,” the research house added.
Upstream had reported Modec’s move to accept just one of the two Marlim FPSO contracts because its plate is now so full, despite Modec having an upper hand to win the bids for both Marlim-1 and Marlim 2.
It is understood that Modec’s daily charter rate (DCR) proposal is US$650,000 per day daily charter rate (DCR) for Package A, and US$550,000 per day DCR for Package B, which is US$100,000 per day lower than Yinson’s proposed rates for both packages.
The Parque das Baleias FPSO is scheduled to enter into production in 2022 and will have the capacity to produce 100,000 bpd, and five million cmd of natural gas over a charter period of 22 years.
Under Package A, Marlim-1 FPSO has a processing capacity of 80,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) and seven million cubic metres per day of natural gas (mmscmd), while Marlim II FPSO is for package B, having a capacity of 70,000 bopd and four million cmd of natural gas.
Meanwhile, Yinson had submitted its bid to supply FPSO for the Parque das Baleias complex in the northern sector of the Campos basin, Brazil, where the group is facing competition with a joint venture between Italy’s Saipem and Netherlands’ Bluewater.
