Ensenada, MEX
For immediate sale
Through a private negotiation procedure, Ritchie Bros. is selling a Poseidon barge located in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.
The Poseidon barge was built in 2014 for Shell to use in an Arctic gas/oil exploration program. Ultimately, the program was canceled before any systems were used and the barge was sold to the current owner in new condition.
Two possible uses for the Poseidon:
Arctic Containment System (ACA):
The barge may act as a first responder in the event of an offshore well blowout. APCO1/ APCO2 processing units are designed to collect mix given off by a well and process it. This process separates the water and scrubs it before placing it back in the ocean. The oil and gas that are drawn out of the mixture can either be incinerated immediately or stored for future use.
Floating Production and Offloading System:
The Poseidon may operate as a primary processing unit for one well in deep waters (> 1,000 ft.) or for several oil platforms in shallow waters. The processing capacity of the barge is 30,000 barrels per day.
