Jord delivers energy efficient Topsides for Brazli FPSO
Jord Oil & Gas Systems b.v. is delighted to have played a part in delivering Yinson Production’s first FPSO to operate heat recovery steam generation (“HRSG”) as part of its combined cycle power generation system. This is part of Yinson’s continuous effort in reducing carbon emissions and being a frontrunner in decarbonising the FPSO industry towards the goal of net zero.
Jord’s scope entailed 10,000 tons of Topside Modules, including the power modules, comprising four Baker Hughes LM2500 dual fuel turbines and one steam turbine. The combined output is 145MW.
This is the second set of Topsides Jord has designed and constructed for Yinson, Both are for Petrobras fields offshore Brazil. The first (Anna Nery) commenced operation in May 2023. This latest FPSO, Maria Quiteria, is on route to Brazil.
Jord Expands Local Capabilities in Saudi Arabia Through Strategic Partnership
On the 6th of November, Jord International and Salama Engineering Industries signed a Memorandum of Understanding, marking a key milestone in Jord’s growth journey in Saudi.
With the ability to now fabricate locally in Saudi, this partnership unlocks localisation capability, nurtures IKTVA objectives, and strengthens our long-term presence in the region.
Single lift paste back-fill filter installed
Jord has continued to support the mining industry’s drive towards sustainable tailings management via the delivery of our largest ever ‘single lift’ HVBF filter. The 33m long x 5m wide vacuum belt filter will be dewatering gold tailings for paste backfill in NSW, Australia. It was delivered to site fully assembled, to minimise site assembly time and cost. Jord’s scope of supply included support structures and dual level walkways, for optimal access for inspection and maintenance services.
Jord International featured by HSBC Corporate and Institutional Banking and the AFR
For more than 50 years, we’ve delivered complex, high-value infrastructure projects across six continents. As our global footprint has expanded, so too has the complexity of our operations and banking needs.
HSBC’s extensive global network, local market insight, and deep sector expertise have been instrumental in supporting our international growth and enabling us to deliver innovative solutions that contribute to the global energy transition.
As Angus Holden, Executive Chair of Jord Group, says: “HSBC has taken the time to understand us and the jurisdictions in which we work. It has been so important to find a bank who will go with us on the journey – it’s been about a true understanding of our business, our strategy and the funding to support our growth.”
We look forward to continuing this strong partnership as we expand into new regions and deliver projects that help shape a more sustainable future. Read the article here.

Clear skies ahead for Newcastle
Orica is set to substantially reduce particle emissions from its Kooragang Island, Newcastle explosives facility, with the installation of new pollution control technology under license from Jord.
Jord’s brief back in 2021 was to design and construct an irrigated fibre-bed scrubber plant for retro-fit onto Orica’s existing prill tower. The scrubber will capture PM2.5 particles – those with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or less – produced during the ammonia nitrate manufacturing process.
Site erection is in its final phase and is scheduled for completion June 2024, allowing commissioning of this eagerly awaited plant to commence.
Engineering modular process infrastructure for rare earths
The Jord Group is featured in the January 2026 issue of Australian Mining Review, examining how the Group is applying its engineering and delivery capability to the evolving requirements of Australia’s critical minerals value chain.
The feature explores the collaborative model between Jord International Resources, Jord Energy, and JordProxa, and how their combined process, mechanical and energy engineering expertise is being applied to the design, fabrication and integration of modular processing infrastructure for rare earths projects. This approach enables scalable plant deployment, reduced site complexity, and improved delivery certainty for downstream processing operations.
The article also details the Jord Group’s contribution to Iluka Resources’ Eneabba Rare Earths Project in Western Australia, Australia’s first fully integrated rare earths refinery. The project includes modularised systems covering evaporation and crystallisation circuits, solvent extraction plant, off-gas treatment and emissions mitigation, reflecting the Group’s capability to deliver complex, multi-discipline processing solutions for advanced minerals processing facilities.
We thank The Australian Mining Review for the opportunity to share this work, and Iluka Resources for the collaboration on a project of national significance. View the article on page 40 and the full January 2026 edition here: https://lnkd.in/gMK5ywDU
