1. Introduction
GE Oil & Gas announced the award
of Cessão Onerosa on November 16 ,
2012 to supply #56 Turbomachinery
Equipment
(http://www.genewsroom.com/Press-
Releases/GE-Oil--Gas-Wins-US500-
Million-Customer-Contract-216946).
Additionally to the core equipment,
the new contract included technical
assistance for installation and
commissioning, start-up and extensive
services, such as repair, dedicated
local field service engineers and
Customer training. The $500 Million
Contract was signed after more than
one year of intense commercial and
technical negotiations by GE Oil &
Gas and two competitive public bids
involving valuable and experienced
Competitors.
This success was the result also of the
collaboration and synergies among
the different GE product and business
lines (Oil & Gas, Aviation, Power &
Water, Power Conversion),
demonstrating the strength of the
Company’s integration.
The main benefits and value of GE Oil
& Gas proposal included
aggressive delivery cycle, high
equipment reliability, efficiency and
performance, emissions control and
an extended equipment life. In this
Contract GE Oil & Gas fully
demonstrated their technological off-
shore leadership and the capacity to
face their Clients most difficult
challenges.

The #56 Equipment (#16
Turbogenerators LM2500+ Dual Fuel,
#8 Turbocompressors LM2500, #32
Motocompressors
th
Main/Export/Injection) were ordered
to serve #4 new Floating Production,
Storage and Off-Loading Units (FPSOs)
in the Cessão Onerosa region of the
Santos Basin Pre-Salt Field. GE Oil &
Gas technology will generate primary
energy for the FPSOs using gas
turbines and advanced electrical
generators, moving gas through
pipelines using compressors and finally
re-injecting CO2 and natural gas
back to the well to increase the oil
recovery.
2. The Pre-Salt Area (Brazil)
Cessão Onerosa represented the first
GE Oil & Gas project and experience
in the large Pre-Salt Area,
unprecedented in scale, innovation
and complexity.
The Pre-Salt is a sequence of
sedimentary rocks formed more than
100 million years ago in the
geographic area created by the
separation of the current American
and African continents. Initially, great
an depressions were formed between
the two continents, giving rise to large
lakes. Since all the rivers on the
continents flew to the lower
depressions, large amounts of organic
material were deposited there. This
organic deposit held there for millions
of years until thermochemical
processes turned it into hydrocarbons.
Investments in the Pre-Salt Area are
constantly increasing and the present
findings can mean oil reserves of over
50 Billion barrels, a volume four times
greater than the current Brazil reserves
