Replies will be rewarded – discussions are welcome. ------------------------------------------- In December 2018, SHENGU signed a contract with Shandong Kcore Brazil Company (an EPC firm) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for the supply of seven centrifugal compressors for natural gas processing plants. This was the first overseas contract for compressor supply in SHENGU’s history, as well as its first compressor order in the Brazilian and South American markets, making it a milestone event. 　　Located in the city of Itabirai, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, this project is the first one to be awarded through an open tender by Petrobras since 2014. It is also the largest natural gas processing project in Brazil to date, and it holds great significance for Petrobras’ oil and gas exploration in the Pre-salt region. 　　Shenmu has been following this project since February last year, facing fierce competition from many internationally renowned compressor manufacturers such as Mitsubishi, GE, and Siemens. At the same time, Petrobras, as a giant in the oil industry and the ninth-largest oil company in the world, has its own comprehensive system of technical standards, with strict requirements and high benchmarks. Fierce competition and tense negotiations posed continuous challenges and tests to the project team, yet they maintained a steadfast determination to pursue their goals. 　　Through the active communication by the sales staff in the Greater China and Americas regions of the import-export company, as well as the hard work of the technical personnel at the turbine design institute, it was finally possible to pass the technical evaluation by Petrobras. However, since the owner had no prior experience working with SHENGU, they still had doubts regarding SHENGU’s delivery times and financing capabilities. Faced with this situation, the sales team invited the property owner and representatives from the EPC company to visit Shengli Blower to conduct an on-site inspection. Ultimately, through their sincere attitude and strong capabilities, they convinced the client and secured this highly valuable overseas order. The signing of this order marks an important starting point for SHENGU’s cooperation with Petrobras, and it also sets a good foundation for SHENGU to expand its business in Brazil and throughout South America in the future.
